I hate when rear tail lights aren't flush with the rear of the vehicle.

I disagree. I hate the plastic trim pieces and love when it's all painted the body color.

I agree. I prefer it as well. I can appreciate both though depending on the functionality of the truck and the other mods.

Here's the best overall look and overview of the 2019 ice seen as of yet.

YouTube review.

I like both LOL. Color matched is nice but black trim helps the colors stand out on some vehicles.

I have to disagree with you on this. Painted black trim pieces pull the look together. It was the first thing I did when I got my X5d

Yeah a little to much Asian SUV influence on that. Lights should be flush with the body work, I agree.

can you say, ew?

Those kidneys look like they belong on some stealth fighter jet. The back looks too audi.

The x3 looks like poop as well..the taillights very asian-esqe, borderline nissan maxima/altima/sentra.

E70 will be my next vehicle of choice.
