It was suggested that I wait, but I want to take pics of before, during, and after pics so that anyone considering the kit will SEE what is done and how it is done. Still waiting.

Ignoring the pun, I actually DID consider painting it roasted pumkin. I also considered off-white (cream). But, I'll leave it black sapphire. Too many "orange" cars in S. Florida and "white" cars look terrible after a few years - can see every dark stain, etc.

There are ALWAYS going to be ppl who love or hate a mod or a look. Some people like Lumma, some like G-power, some like Hamaan ... some like the stock areo kit. Me? I celebrate EVERYTHING that is BMW ... and the people who mod them ... whether I like the mod or not. At least they are doing SOMETHING. But then again, different cultures I suppose. What is important to the left is not concern to the right. I respect the differences.

It is an M5. That interior cost about $33,000USD. The exterior cost about $42,000. So ultimately, the M5 overall is more than a $100,000 investment. But, that is how it is done in Europe.
Dood. If you're ordering parts one at a time, and it takes them months each time you order... Is there anyway the left side is going to match the right side by the time you want to sell it? A real baller would just pull the f'ing trigger and be done with it... right?

You don't even really own an X5 though. This is just a social experiment by someone at U Miami undergrad. Right?
