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.

And since this is a LUMMA forum ... We stay blind and deaf to haters.

I personally love the Lumma look. I just can't justify the price.

Can we even justify the price for our cars? So many of the "smaller guys" are starting to make fabulous looking cars. I even like the Kia Soul for Petes sake. I saw a black one with black rims and was like "wow".

How is that HUD working for you? Do you even use it? Does it distract you? No real difference than the Nav is it (just up on the window)?

And now, the interior (never said I was going to get this, but I do know I'll be getting the mats at least; more than likely I'll do the interior as well, just not the first half of next year). Probably best to keep COST out of this post. LOL

Lumma pics on BMW models
 

It's pretty clear that a lot of US BMW owners don't know who Lumma, Hamaan, G-Power, AC Schnitzner, etc are. So, I'm posting a few Lumma pics...

And more Lumma...

I like certain body kits just like th next guy, but I don't see the point of making a car look agressive while being the slowest version available either. I don't know about in Singapore, but mildly fast looking, body kitted, slow assrice rockets (Honda, Nissan, etc), Silverado's, F150's, etc are a dime a dozen in the US.

In the end it will come down to cost vs cool factor for probably 9 out of 10 people, period. Its funny you come here to a public forum, posting your opinions and these prices...did you really ONLY expect praise? You're spending just as much for plastic/fiberglass sa people spend on the ENTIRE car, but as you said, its your money...but to constantly question or even mildly belittle people because they won't spend as much on mods is pointless and childish on your part. Do you think you're going to make some arguement that justifies the cost for YOU in your mind, and then suddenly make one of us convert over? C'mon, you're going to get the good AND the bad, deal with it.

PS - How many times can one person say "lol" in their posts...so far I think you're in the lead for the abusing the worlds most overused acronym.

#1 - I didn't miss the point at all. To each his own as to how much one person wants to spend on mods vs the other. All I'm saying is that the OP is sitting there arguing price and justifying it for HIS needs, but why argue it when it's his needs only? I know of BMW owners with cars who've spent 2x as much in engine mods as the car itself. Whatever though, I could care less because that is his prerogative and I'm not going to try and sway peoples opinions one way or the other like the OP is. You, sir, are missing my point. Just because I'm a car enthusiast doesn't mean I support everyone as I've seen some complete idiots out there as well, and I've got no qualms with letting them know if they ask my opinion. The OP is asking for opinions, but as I said, he's getting all huffy puffy and justifying it...who cares what someone wants to spend their money on, so he doesn't need to justify anything, nor does he need to get all offended if people aren't all on-board with his mod choices. He came to us, so if he doesn't like the answers, maybe he shouldn't have asked the question. Please yourself, not others...but don't get all shocked and surprised when you get differing opinions.

#2 - Maybe I haven't paid enough attention to this thread, but you're not even the OP anyways, so why are you here arguing with me or anyone else for that matter? I've never once told you how to spend your money, I simply said I wouldn't do it. Sarge told the OP (or you, whatever) to not waste the money and invest it, so if you're going to point the finger, make sure you're pointing it at the right person. While I commented on his post with an "I agree", it was more for the statement of wasting money on the bottom line model. To me, that I think is stupid. Why make a car look fast, just to go slow? That's like these idiots out there with ///M badges on 318's and 525's...who in the hell are they fooling? This is personal preference, but I either like complete sleepers, but if it's not a sleeper, I want it to go as fast as it looks. But once again, that's just my opinion. Your whole newbies comment...you've lost me there.

#3 - European cars are far better than American...that's a pretty bold statement considering there are some pretty bad ass American cars out there, but that's going to take us down a while different road in this thread. Americans opt for fuel economy as well, but we don't get as many choices of diesel rigs over there due to different emissions standards, so don't assume we want...it's more or less a lack of options in the US. You generalize quite a bit, don't you? I've owner about 20 cars and I'm on my 3rd bike, I've lived in Europe, so now your assuming instead of generalizing. Who cares what engine it's made for, I'm simply stating MY OPINION to the OP that I think it's a waste to make a base model engined vehicle look all fast and aggressive, just to have...the base model. Sure, I can make a Civic DX look like an Si, but when push comes to shove and I open the hood, I'd laugh at the guy who's trying so desperately to look faster than he really is. For me, I'd rather have a plain Jane 540i vs a pimped out, body kitted 525 that is slower than crap. I've never claimed once to know anything about Lumma, so your argument is even more pointless. I've made my statements based solely on what I've read on this thread and this thread alone, and more-so based on what I think is a waste considering the engine size and the body kits pricing considering what it really is that you're paying for...plastic and fiberglass. Someone is laughing their asses all the way to the bank, but more power to them. I don't care what EUROPEANS care about in regards to engine size, because between you, me and the OP...we're NOT in Europe. When I was in Italy, they didn't have toilet paper in the bathrooms...should I not wipe my ass because I'm there? NO, I do what is right for ME, so who cares what they do or what their needs are. WTF kind of argument is that?

Bottom line...thanks Captain Obvious. I don't think anyone is disputing that Lumma is expensive. Haul my ass out of the forums? I've got almost ONE HUNDRED times the posts you have, I'm a BMW mechanic, and I've been here far longer than your ass...you're in MY house, bitch (ignorant, ghetto talk for ya). I'm not going anywhere, and while I don't have to like the cost, you don't have to like my opinion...but remember, you both came here to a public forum. If you didn't want to hear what people had to say, that as I said before, don't ask the question.

You didn't have to say a single word to point out that Lumma is expensive, so why are you giving yourself so much credit? I can Google the MSRP of a Maserati MC12 and figure out on my own that it's out of my means, I don't need someone to explain it to me in detail. Jesus, you really need to get over yourself.

Last I checked, this website is called Xoutpost.com, not Lumma.com. Ignorant, ghetto people are the ones who resort to calling people "haters" because they don't agree with something that someone else likes. Whenever I hear someone even say that word, the first think I think of is some 17yr pimply faced idiot in a wife beater with half his ass hanging out.

I think those kits on the Porsche look great, especially the mat black one. Would I spent that kind of money on plastic and fiberglass, not in this lifetime. Before you do it, please don't go down the "can't afford it road", because I know how much you love assume, generalize and how highly you think of yourself. I'm going to be spending a pretty penny on an M7 bodykit for my 7, and while some think it's a waste, it's a preference for me...but it's also not going to cost me more than say $4000 before it's even painted or installed, and rightfully so considering what ALL these kits are made out of the same stuff. I think it's safe to say that spending upwards of 40, 50, 60 thousand dollars on plastic and fiberglass in 99% of peoples eyes is just stupid. To each their own though.
