Come on, this is a matte green X5... can you think of something as tasteless as this?

It didn’t happen. I’m just saying someone is going to suggest it’s more tasteless than that at some point.

They will. This is how the internet works.

I like matte. I almost never see it except at car shows, so it’s a nice change of pace. And I don’t love the current X5, but older models are cool.
Change it to a yellow X6 and you’ll get a much different response.

It’s also how Oppo works. Anything with an H badge gets scorn.

I’ve sat in the current gen X5/X6 and they have, by far, the best interior you can get out of a German (ACHOOO AMERICAN) car.
But Matte? dude... no.... even the bumper protection plate which is normally some silverish colour is wrapped.

Yes, two matte green X5's. Practically twice as tasteless.

but then its 2*tasteless divided by 2*x#

How about an X6 wrapped in leather? Is that tasteless enough for you?

I don’t get matte, it looks ok on black but it doesn’t work with anything else.

Bonus for being an X6
yes.. tasteless.

I see matte as a way to downplay attention to the car, while anything shiny/glossy/chrome is the opposite.
So the obnoxious opposite for me would be any kind of chrome plating or customized bright colors (both of which I see all the time).

I get the gist, but I feel like now because of all those people matting their cars its lost its power to hide

stop riding around with your high beam on

Have you heard the 800? It sounds like a vacuum cleaner from far away! how are cars supposed to see me without the beam? Worse even, what if they confuse me for a cyclist!?!
But in all seriousness, I don’t ride often but i’ve been told both in person and over the internet that it is a safety thing. If your experience tells you otherwise please share...

i HAVE a 800...

you are losing the ability to flash it in an emergency. I’m aware of the way the switch works, still not a great idea.
if you want more light/ppl to see you, add some auxiliary LED spots and call it a day.

order from aliexpress. wait time is long, but its cheap stuff.

Ahh, that’s the key. I never see matted cars on the streets, so it’s still a novelty. Any modification done widely (or to excess) loses its appeal.

I’ll let the owner know! I only use that motorcycle periodically.
Hopefully we get some aux lights installed

I have two matte green cars. And they’re super tasteful thank you very much.

Yes, very distasteful, I cannot tolerate Defenders unless they are covered in mud, as they should be!

The second worst thing about the X6M wrap is the wrap, the first being it’s an X6M.
