Lumma Design bodykit

Solidgold · #1 07-07-2009, 01:49 AM

Hi, just got myself a 1.5 yr old E70 3.0si. Been surfing the web for additional add-ons. Seen some very nice Lumma Design body kits. Was wondering any folks out here have it installed on your ride?

How is it? And how much will it cost you to do just body kits (front, side skirts and back bumper). Can you do it without the changing your exhaust since I notice that the valance is cut with a diff specs from mine current exhaust.

Also, been getting very poor petrol consumption. 6.0-6.5km/litre. Is that normal?

Thks for the patience and would welcome any suggestions or help.

Full Lumma kit is around $19000 USD (I believe).

I'm collecting Lumma parts for my car (waiting on an order/shipment right now actually). I see some people mix-match thier parts with Hamman, Falcon, Lumma, etc. I'm doing all Lumma ... and I'm doing EVERYTHING. It is a $43,000 project ... and that is just for parts alone.

IBM doesn't pay that much do they?

I should know.

Stop. Just stop. Invest your money, or blow some of it on a nice vacation overseas.

Spending $34k on cosmetics for a 3.0l X5 is flat-out retarded. I don't mean to be a dick by saying that, either; 10 years from now you'll look back and agree. The only question is whether you'll have gone ahead with it anyway...

It'd be one thing if you had ridiculous cashflow, but you don't. You're planning this out piece by piece, and by the time you're done, the car will be 'the old body style' anyway, and you'll have not only lost $43k, but depreciated your perfectly-good 3.0l X5 even further. Seriously. Give your alternatives a little more thought...

Nobody envies a guy with a flashy 'kustom' car with a little motor, anyway.

(I like the look of this one... but definitely not for the money, and without V8 pipes it's like McLovin's voice coming from a pimp).

$43k plus paint and labor? You'd have to be a trust fund millionaire with a terminal illness to justify that sort of coin on any car as mediocre as a 3.0 X5.

Not to mention how tacky it would be to drive around in something like that.

Did you know the Cayenne is pretty much universally derided as 'the ugliest vehicle ever', pre-Panamera? Even I didn't see that one coming.

(As a former 997 C2S owner, I like Porsche, and I have no particular 'brand' loyalty.)

LOL, I don't know about "Universal". But like I said, it's the sexist SUV out there - TO ME. There is a sweet looking one here in S. Florida.

Again, pictures compliments of topcar.
