4.6is updated look
I thought is about time to do something for my X5 4.6is ( still in love w/ this E53 ) .It has a 147000miles and everything that has to be fix I do it by myself. I like the way the tailgate lights look now( easy to do it) and since I love the ///M bagde so much I thought to put one on my 4.6is .The other things that I did are the rear bumper left&right finns and tailgate handle wrapped in real carbon fiber , I topped the running boards w/ alumnium sheets w/ black dots and the I tried some painted eyelid but I'm not happy yet w/the line .....still working on headlights reprofit

Sorry...aside from the CF-wrapped tailgate handle, not feeling any of it. Looks way too busy, imo (Ferrari? Really?).

*Edit: perhaps a bit harsh. The 4.6iS is still my favorite E53, and imo, a disservice has been done to a classic design. Doesn't matter my opinion...if it makes you happy...

The rear tail lights are actually pretty cool. Front lights decal are not, Ferrari badge, not cool either. But still very nice X!

I agree let your bmw be what it truly is, which is a very nice 4.6. NOT an M, and definitely not a ferrari.

Nice job on the tail lights... And I would like it even more if the stickers were less obvious.

Did your 4.6is not come with the fender flares for the front?

Here's an idea for you on for the eyelid. Not sure how it would turn out for black car though.

I like everything apart for the eyelids, you should definitely do the E70 look eyelids like simoncpw has done, it will match the rest of your car.
