My 14-year-old son saw it first. He just said: ‘Respect.’ That’s when I knew I got it right.

Why my X6M F96 stands apart

Why my X6M F96 stands apart
I’m Markus, from Germany. I run a chain of supermarkets and have a quiet obsession with cars. Right now, there are six in my garage — a Corvette, a V-Class for road trips, an everyday X6, and now, a BMW X6 M Competition (F96). I don’t drive often, but when I do, I want the car to speak for itself.

I remember bringing the X6M home after the LARTE custom kit installation. My 14-year-old son walked around it in silence. Then he looked at me and said just one word: “Respect.” That moment alone made it worth it.

Love Markus's style?

Not for show. For myself

Not for show. For myself
I wasn’t trying to impress anyone. I didn’t post photos or chase reactions. I simply wanted to make the car feel complete — more confident, more me. I knew it needed presence.

I looked into other brands. But most of what I saw either felt overdone or didn’t match the character of the X6M. Then I found LARTE Design. You could see they understood which models had potential — and how to unlock it.

What started as curiosity became commitment. I started picking out pieces one by one. But at some point, I realized: the factory lines looked too soft next to the new accents. So I decided to go for the full body kit set for BMW X6 M Competition F96.

Quality above all — and yes, it matters

Quality above all — and yes, it matters
In Germany, not many people know LARTE yet. That’s changing, slowly. Some of my acquaintances would rather order replicas from AliExpress and fake a spec sheet. That’s not my thing. I paid €6,000 just for the original paint color from the factory. No wraps. No shortcuts. I value quality — always have.

The X6M F96 custom kit arrived well packed. Two trim elements were missing, but my manager Sasha followed up right away and made sure everything got sorted quickly. Installation was smooth — my technician even said the parts fit better than expected. He was impressed by the material and detailing.

A personal project, done right

This wasn’t my first experience with tuning. When I was 22, I installed an AC Schnitzer kit on my 7 Series. That car had style. This one? This one has presence.

Some cars are for travel, some for errands. But this X6M — it’s for those rare, meaningful moments. Like when I pick up my son for the weekend, and we go for a drive, just the two of us. No phones. No plans. Just music, roads, and conversations. I guess you could call it our version of father-son time.

I’ve loved cars since I was a kid. I used to play with toy cars. Now I drive the real ones. But none of it came easy. I’ve worked hard for everything I have. And this car — this build — it’s not about showing off. It’s about remembering where I started and enjoying what I’ve built.
