Hi, I’m Nikolai from Geneva. I’ve always believed that a car should reflect your taste — not just horsepower, but character. After my Cayenne build, I knew my next project had to be just as refined. That’s where the X5M came in.

A Vision Without a Clear Picture
A Vision Without a Clear Picture
When I first got the BMW, I knew I wanted to customize it — but I didn’t yet know how. Carbon? Gloss black? Something subtle or more aggressive? I went back and forth for weeks. I wanted something elegant, sharp, and cohesive — no overkill, no gimmicks. Just taste. That’s when I found LARTE. A friend mentioned them, and once I saw their work, I knew they could help translate my vague ideas into a real vision. I reached out, and that’s how I got connected with Dmitry. He didn’t push. Just carefully listened. Then we started to make my dream build.

Every Detail Had to Be Right
Every Detail Had to Be Right
We went through different finishes, designs, color combinations — pixel by pixel. I’m picky, and Dmitry got that. He made it easy. I received a full design proposal, complete with photorealistic renders of the X5M in my actual spec. It looked… right. Balanced. Clean. Confident.
I trusted them with the car completely. They arranged for an enclosed transport from Geneva to their facility in Düsseldorf. From there, I just waited. They installed everything exactly as planned, down to the millimeter — and sent me a full photo set once the build was done.

The Result? Exactly What I Envisioned — Even If I Didn’t Know It at First

When the X5M came back, it was everything I’d hoped for — and more. The finish, the fit, the proportions. Not a single misaligned line, not a single gap out of place. You could feel the craftsmanship in every detail.
Now, every time I walk past the car or catch a glimpse of it in a café window, it feels like mine in a way no stock car ever has. I still stay in touch with Dmitry. If I ever have questions — — he’s there. That trust means a lot. Because for me, every car I own has to be a project. I love building the story myself. This X5M? It’s a chapter I’m proud of.
