Why August decided to customize his BMW X5 G05
Why August decided to customize his BMW X5 G05
My name is August, and I’m from Germany. Earlier this year, I bought a BMW X5 G05, wrapped in a light blue film. The car already looked impressive, but I knew its potential could be pushed further. I had been following LARTE Design projects for a while, and when the chance came to upgrade, the choice was clear.

Why I chose LARTE Design
Why I chose LARTE Design
Choosing LARTE Design felt natural after seeing multiple completed projects. From an ownership perspective, their approach stood out for its balance between visual impact and cohesion. I was looking for a BMW X5 body kit that would feel like a complete design rather than a collection of parts. LARTE’s experience with carbon styling and show-level builds gave me confidence in the final result.

Choosing the setup
Choosing the setup
I reached out directly to the LARTE team. My manager, Dmitry, guided me through the process — showing renderings, explaining finish options, and helping me build the exact configuration I had in mind.
We went with a LARTE Performance carbon kit, added a carbon hood, and fitted exclusive LARTE forged wheels with carbon inserts. I wanted everything to look like one complete design — not overloaded, but with strong accents.

Preparation and installation
Preparation and installation
This wasn’t planned as a “regular update” — it was a full show-car project. The car was prepared for display at my company’s Ares Molon Labe stand at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit. Every detail had to be flawless and worthy of the setting.
When I first saw the X5 after installation, the effect was beyond expectations: the carbon finish gleamed, the body lines looked sharper, and the stance became more powerful and dynamic.

From delivery to final alignment
From delivery to final alignment
After the carbon body kit installation, everything aligned exactly as planned. Once the carbon kit was installed, the BMW X5 felt visually complete and balanced. Over the first few months, the car showed no compromises in real-world use, even with show-level detailing. Looking back, the installation experience confirmed that this setup was engineered for both presentation and long-term ownership.

Daily driving after the upgrade
Daily driving after the upgrade
Driving a custom BMW X5 G05 daily is noticeably different from stock. The car feels more premium and feels more refined in everyday conditions. From a practical standpoint, the everyday driving experience remains comfortable, while the added presence makes each drive feel more intentional. Using a customized BMW over time reinforces the sense of satisfaction that comes with a well-executed build.

BMW X5 G05 after 6 months with carbon body kit
BMW X5 G05 after 6 months with carbon body kit
Several months after installing the carbon body kit, the BMW X5 G05 carbon body kit continues to deliver the same visual impact. The carbon kit holds up perfectly in real-world use, maintaining both fitment and finish. Looking back, this BMW X5 body kit feels like a long-term design choice rather than a short-term upgrade.

The result
The result
Today, my X5 feels completely different. The carbon kit gave it strength and presence, the hood became the centerpiece, and the wheels with carbon accents tied everything together. At Spa-Francorchamps, the car drew questions and compliments from all sides — exactly the reaction I had hoped for.
Now, every drive is a reminder of the decision I made. This X5 is not just a car anymore — it’s part of my identity.
