Used X5s are getting cheap (or affordable) and we will see more and more people (usually younger crowd) who might have unusual taste to mod their cars in their own ways.

I used to mod a BMW and my taste was for better performance. It took a long painful and joyful time to get the car running the way it should. Now that it's been almost 10 yrs since I've done that, if I am given a chance to do it all over, I would rather just buy Nissan GTR and call it a day. Perhaps the OP's view will change in time.

When you figure the argument out, please let me know. All I'm seeing it "rebadging" as if I'm putting ANY OEM parts on my car. The argument from most of these chaps is about putting a M badge (or part) on a non-M vehicle ... as if they argued this point to someone who did this and that person told them to "suck my @$$ and lick the cheese cause I don't give a F about you or your opinions" so they are bring that argument to me.

The ONLY part that I've put on my car, which represents any sort of other badge, is the roof railings, and that is ONLY because the flat railings by Lumma (back in 2008, BEFORE the X5M existed) have been discontinued. The flat roof railings were ordered through Strictly foriegn, but they are discontinued, so the BMW railings will simply have to do. If this kiddies don't like it, seriously, I don't care ... and neither do my firends, family or anyone important in my life, nor anyone I work with, or any of the guys at the BMW meets here in SoFlo. LOL So, personally I'm cool with thier hatings. It's ignored.

"Haters you can kill yourselves" - Ke$ha

I brought my for $64 - upfront purchase. Wouldn't call that "cheap", but then again, it was brand spanking new.

Not a kid either, and this is a European vehicle modded by a European tuning company. So, if a handful of online posters don't like it, no sweat off my back.

Always going to be those who think they know it all, then there are those who will hate, those who will dislike, those who have no real opinion, then those who like. {shrug}

Just put in my eyes today. Hood, black Lumma mats, gas/brake pedals and Lumma border entries will be shipped March 21.

I decided against the Lumma wheels cause its' one piece - can't powder coat the chrome lip to match the window trim/grill.

It's a forum, and when you make a thread, you do so expecting to get responses. If there is some other interpretation to what a forum is, please let me know. Apparently you seem to have some insight on what these types of places are for. If he doesn't like it, or you, use the IGNORE/BLOCK feature. That way your labia won't get all itchy and you don't have to complain. Got it ?

HAHAHAHA. I love it. The other moron has to chime in too. Hilarious.

In general Lumma kits are not my taste but that's irrelevant...

Keep up the good work. I tend to measure the success of any over the top venture by the number of haters I can collect during the process! Let's remember folks this is an x5, not a Ferrari 250 gt Expressing dislike is acceptable since forums are all about feedback, but a handful of you guys were just dicks.

I guess I will be a poseur too when I get some beyern mesh 22s this summer on my NON-SPORT! Damn I will have to duck all the people who will be hasty to look down on me

You joined in December 2010 and already have 500 posts. Just about every post I go on I see your negative comments. Do us all a favour and shut your mouth.

No you will only be a poser if you continue to brag over and over again that you are going to rebadge it as a Beyern. His lack of automotive knowledge is truly mind boggling. He never will understand the difference between a tuner truck and something pieced together in his driveway. Would you trust someone working on, I mean EUROPEAN TUNING a vehicle that in his own words
" the suggested tire was 265/35x22. I wrote it down, but I don't have a freakin clue what it means."
or so blinded by Lumma that his expertise on other tuning companies is so jaded he still can't spell them right. Hartge, Hamann.

Just look at some of his other forum posts and claims. He is an attention whore to the extreme! I am sure every other 1993 Grammy award winner needs to constantly be in the spotlight. I think if he came here and posted some pics of his mods without his outrageous claims including name and price dropping this thread would have went in a different direction.

Trying to convince everyone here he that he is dropping $40k on his conversion and makes $45- to $60k a year in telephony sales is just childish and immature.
