i wanted to do this but i was worried about getting in trouble with cops, so yea i was wondering if cops really care about taking off reflectors?

I have not read of one story yet of anyone getting into a problem..so I think you're good!

If you really wanna be safe - get smoked reflectors because they still retain their use! I know it's not "blacking it out" fully but it still retains function...

ooowowizstev · 05-05-2010, 02:00 AM

Get blacked out reflectors and tinted side grills. I've never gotten any trouble for those. For the "blackout" theme... I would suggest smoking your tail lights and headlights.

Is that your X5 with an M badge?

mtla4 · 05-05-2010, 02:23 AM

That X5 looks horrible

DC5ITR88 · 05-05-2010, 03:20 AM

a drop on the e92 would def make it more flush...

i dont kno but painting the stock 18s to black def makes that gap look bigger compared to them being the stock gunmetal look

sehrgut · 05-05-2010, 03:38 AM

1. Black reflectors

2. Colormatched sidevents w/ smoked lens

3. Black rear ///M3 emblem (i.e the mfest emblem for different look)

4. Lose the BMW centercaps ASAP IMO. Or get a spare set and be creative or just paint them black. (doing this will also keep people wondering what kinda wheels you got

)

5. Springs/Coils, why not?

leeor · 05-05-2010, 03:39 AM

looks real good actually

Maseroche · 05-05-2010, 04:15 AM

If you asked my opinion about color matching the 18" wheels I would have said no, but I have to admit that they look great!

10M3MAN · 05-05-2010, 05:25 AM

Nice rides

T89 · 05-05-2010, 07:06 AM

Looks good! Tinted reflectors and maybe tint or smoke the tail lights.

dr.jay · 05-05-2010, 07:25 AM

Love the wheels, but who's X5 is that??? It's hands down the worst X5 I have ever seen

M3sicko · 05-05-2010, 07:42 AM

chaseman5000 · 05-05-2010, 10:34 AM

Orange fever · 05-05-2010, 05:48 PM
