Wink CUSTOM 4.6is to 4.8is
Here are some pics of my cousins 4.6is that was custom re-sprayed in BMW white and face lifted to the 4.8is! All parts were purchasd NEW from BMW and the custom paint job was done professionaly as the X was basically stripped back to the bare Shell and re-sparyed. Pics are not the best as he took them with his phone but I'll get some better ones.

Yeah he really done the job correctly!! White X5's are really hard to come by here, and a white 4.6 or 4.8 even more so, infact I have never seen or heard of one in the UK or Ireland. So he decided if he cant buy one he would convert his own 2003 4.6is! The car was completely stripped inside and out, all windows removed etc. The X was originally estoril blue but there are no signs of that anymore!!

Yeah alot of $$$, he even replaced all the black gloss window trims with new ones and other items that could have been saved where all replaced with new items. He really done the job to the highest standard possible........He's thinking of selling it now to go for the new e70 M sport X5.

He has it done a few months now, and toying with the idea of selling it, if he can get the right figure; but not in any way "PUSHED" to sell it. The pics really dont do it justice so hopefully I'll get some better up.
