Because you probably see the X as a utility vehicle something reminiscent of a Land Rover take-anywhere vehicle

On the other hand, some see it as a bigger and badder sport touring wagon and thats where I agree with X5SND that it would look good lowered

Onle plac I's taken dat dare Lan Rover is to da newer pile.

Mine is lowered and it is extremely modified and the roof rack is off. I cringe when someone calls it a truck or utility vehicle. That said, I might put the roof rack back on--not right know, it took me 10 years before I took it off.
