Wow!!!!Nice improve!!!

I have a question on the vinyl trim and side skirts, is the wrap gonna stay properly? I heard from one of my friend say that the wrap is not gonna stay on the surface like the side skirt or the trim. Dunno how you get it stay on there??

Nice upgrades. I'm planning on pretty much the same for my titanium silver 2013 X6 3.5. Ordered the carbon fiber rear view mirror covers, carbon eyelids and rear carbon lip spoiler.
I'll post pics after install. It's costing me about the same

Great job

It is my first BMW and by far the best vehicle I have owned. The handling is amazing...for a truck. it almost drives like a small coupe. My only complaint is the horrible MPG. Despite babying the car, I am only averaging 15 (mostly highway miles). Good thing, my commute is only 15 miles a day.

Anyway, here are some pics of my X6. Please let me know what you think..good or bad.








updated pic of the rear!



List of mods:

• vinyl wrapped black trims including side skirts - painted to match the color of the car
• painted kidney grill (flat black, flat clear coat) no chips so far
• blackout tail lights/fogs/rear reflectors
• Painted fog plastic (flat black, flat clear coat)
• eBay LED angel eyes
• ebay performance spoiler and fins
• tinted front windows
• Powdercoated wheels (semi gloss)
• vinyl wrapped sidemarkers
• Painted bumper mesh (flat black)
• Painted exhaust tips
• Vinyl strip on the rear bumper

MODS TOTAL COST = under $900 Thats right. I saved some money by doing most of the work myself except for the wheels. They were professionally powdercoated by a local shop. Well, its pretty amazing how I was able to transform a stock X6 to this form for under $900.

How much for the painted fog plastic? what kind of led were they and how much? and where did you get this doNE?

Your car looks very nice. Really dig the "panda" color scheme.

The only other thing that I would mention, not sure if you have thought about this yet, is to wrap your roof with black vinyl. I think this will really pull everything together.

Great job and thanks for sharing!

Love it, I was picturing doing something like this to my X6 as well also white. Went to the body shop to get an estimate to get them painted today. Then, I came on the boards and saw this (my dream come true) now I'm definitely doing it, it looks sick! I like how you painted the silver fog light trim in black, I was thinking doing it white but the black looks much better. Thanks for the idea.

[XR_SIX]

Thank you guys but I no longer own this car. I drive a 2011 E93 M3 now.

askylitdrive - Thanks for bumping my old thread lol. The fog lamps were wrapped with smoke film by me.

badblkX6 - Thanks man. Vinyl wrapping the roof was actually on my mod list but a friend talked me out of it lol.. btw, i love your black x6! Nice list of mods. I bought the LUX V4 lights for my M3 too.

RedG - Thanks for the kind words. Go for it! Get those black trim parts painted. Don't forget to post pics of the finish product Thanks again

Sorry for the late reply. Here you go. Nothing special

lol at your mileage comment. I knew it was going to be bad on my 50 but not this bad. I'm averaging just over 13 with 95% city - it's straight awful. However, glad I didn't go with a 35 thinking I was going to get exponentially better mileage!
