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

Not really "1 at a time." You can't think I'd order 1 floor mat, then 1 emblem, then half the grill ... That's just insane.
What I ordered were the grill + window trim + mirror extention and mirror covers (and flat roof railings but they are discontinued) in the same order (titanium matt). I think I ordered the entrance borders, pedals and floor mats with this.
Before that I ordered dark Euro tailights + eyelids and rear eyelids. Again, all "matching" parts ordered at the same time.
The last thing I ordered was the bonnet, Lumma badge, and they sent me thier lastest design mats for free (cause I complained about the first set).
So, far as anything being "mixed up", well, there isn't anything unmatching on my car. It would be impossible anyway considering most of what I order needs to be prep'd and painted on my end anyway. Lumma doesn't do "one piece at a time" The window trim and front grill comes as a unit for that very reason. I special ordered the mirror extension with it.
Baller? LOL I'm pushing 40, not 25. Little older. Little wiser. I'm married with child, not a bachelor doing my own thing. Been there, done that. And the fact that I've already put another $15K+ untop of the sticker price of my car doesn't make me a "baller" ... though that is what a couple of my friends called me. So what? It's not the first time. But, I don't watch that stuff.
Terms of OWNING my X5. lol, feel free to call BMW in Ft Lauderdale and ask for
Carol Yasso. Ask her if any males ordered and purchased a brand new black saphirre BMW X5 in January 2009 - CASH PAY. $65,000 thrown out just like that. Like it aint nothing. So, if that's your definition of "not owning" something, well, I'd like to see anyone try to take it from me, banks included. Or, if that's your definition of "balling", so be it. I call it a blessing. It's a blessing cause I was ABLE to do it. Couldn't do it now though. I just spent as much as an X5M on my house in the last 5 months. So again, you can call that ballin or not. Doesn't matter in my world. I'm just thankful to God that I have the ability to do it where so many in this economy haven't even worked in over 2 years.
And to address the sarcasm about some Undergrad. I personally am past taht point too. Aspirant for a Doctorate wheneter I so choose. But still, if some college kids could take over the project and complete it, I wouldn't mind in the least. And that is what makes me different from so many people who own BMWs in SoFlo. Why buy a car and then don't drive it cause of miles, or gas? I just stratched the roof extension of my car cause I drove into my garage with the back opened (was operating on 2 hours sleep). I simply shrugged my shoulders and figured I'd get that fixed, along with the minor dings in the front, and the scratch on my side mirror ... when I put the car in the shop to have the bonnet painted and installed.
It's just a car man. Just a car. I'm not watching that other stuff.
