It's big enough idiots.

X55? How stupid. And boring too.

I would hardly call stretching a vehicle a tuning project, because the root word tune suggests improving performance. This project is a modification, not a tune job.

My mom used to have the 4.8i, this is definitely a 4.8i. She replaced that with the new 5.0i, which is the one with the 4.4 liter engine.

This is a 4.8i BMW discontinued the N/A 4.4 in 2007

Yeah the same, it's probably a typo

Micah Lau Dec 31, 2011
I'm not sure if 4.6i is a typo, but up here in Canada, the 3 engines available are the 3.0si, 4.4i, and 4.8i. What do you have in the States?

Just looking at the middle portion looks like a Navigator, the rear is throwing me off a lot. Everything is straight then the rear makes it look shittier than it already is.

I think it is the roof bars at the back that make it look odd?

There goes the x5's handling..... Then again, imagine ken block going sideways with one of these.... XP

It should be X555, it's 5 times uglier than than the original.

Micah Lau Dec 31, 2011
I wonder if it is still AWD, and if so, that is a long ass drive shaft running to the back.

The chrome running boards only by the front and rear door makes it look choppy. Either they should be along the whole thing or not on it at all.

Besides, I would hate to have to parallel park that thing.

The problem with looks on any stretched car is the super-long straight line between the doors. It does not fit the brain's idea of what the car should look like. A shorter stretch like 1meter would look better.
