I just wanted it to feel special, and it worked

My name is Artem. I live in Germany and work in construction. Cars have always been a source of joy for me — not just a way to get from A to B. I pre-ordered my BMW X6M, expecting to wait a year. But it showed up after just three months — a welcome surprise, and a clear sign: this car deserved something more.

I’d never done such a complete tuning project before. But then I came across some Instagram videos featuring the X6M F96 custom kit by LARTE Design. I subscribed, followed the builds — and got hooked. That’s when I decided to sell my previous X6 G06, even though I had no plans to do so. I realized I didn’t want to just drive — I wanted to stand out.

When I saw the design of the BMW X6 M F96 competition accessories, everything clicked. I left my contact, and Max from LARTE got in touch. We quickly aligned on the details. I chose an almost full body kit set for BMW X6 M competition F96 — skipping only the side skirts and bumper inserts. My favorite part? The hood. Bold, sculpted, aggressive — exactly what I wanted.

I didn’t ask friends for advice. I didn’t compare other brands. I just knew. Other brands looked too reserved. LARTE had the edge — the sharp lines, bold geometry, the aggression. That’s my style.

Even though I had a picture in mind, nothing prepared me for the actual reveal. My X6M looked lower, meaner, more aggressive. I’d chosen the body color to make the carbon details stand out — and they did. People stared, honked, even overtook me just to give a thumbs-up.

The installation wasn’t the easiest. To fit the rear diffuser, some adjustments to the exhaust system were needed. The spoiler also required a bit of fine-tuning to sit perfectly. But overall, everything came together quickly — thanks to the detailed guidance from Max. He provided clear instructions on mounting, fitting, and sealing. As a result, the final outcome looked just right: clean, cohesive, and balanced. Not just a set of parts, but a complete and refined design.

When you’re working with real carbon fiber and handcrafted elements, you know it’s not going to be cheap. And it shouldn’t be. If you want something that looks the part but doesn’t last — there are always knock-offs. But this? This is the real deal. The materials, the fit, the visual impact — everything is on point. Every time I get behind the wheel, I enjoy the drive even more. And honestly, when the new M5 comes out, I’ll be reaching out to LARTE again.
