Used X5s are getting cheap (or affordable) and we will see more and more people (usually younger crowd) who might have unusual taste to mod their cars in their own ways.
I used to mod a BMW and my taste was for better performance. It took a long painful and joyful time to get the car running the way it should. Now that it's been almost 10 yrs since I've done that, if I am given a chance to do it all over, I would rather just buy Nissan GTR and call it a day. Perhaps the OP's view will change in time.

When you figure the argument out, please let me know. All I'm seeing it "rebadging" as if I'm putting ANY OEM parts on my car. The argument from most of these chaps is about putting a M badge (or part) on a non-M vehicle ... as if they argued this point to someone who did this and that person told them to "suck my @$$ and lick the cheese cause I don't give a F about you or your opinions" so they are bring that argument to me.
The ONLY part that I've put on my car, which represents any sort of other badge, is the roof railings, and that is ONLY because the flat railings by Lumma (back in 2008, BEFORE the X5M existed) have been discontinued. The flat roof railings were ordered through Strictly foriegn, but they are discontinued, so the BMW railings will simply have to do. If this kiddies don't like it, seriously, I don't care ... and neither do my firends, family or anyone important in my life, nor anyone I work with, or any of the guys at the BMW meets here in SoFlo. LOL So, personally I'm cool with thier hatings. It's ignored.

I brought my for $64 - upfront purchase. Wouldn't call that "cheap", but then again, it was brand spanking new.
Not a kid either, and this is a European vehicle modded by a European tuning company. So, if a handful of online posters don't like it, no sweat off my back.
