If I like it, I take it. No matter the price

My name is Leyla. I live in Uzbekistan and run my own fashion brand. And like fashion, cars are part of how I express myself. I’ve never kept a car in stock — tuning is something my husband and I do as a rule. It’s not about showing off. It’s about bringing personality to what we drive.

When we bought the BMW XM, it was clear that the design needed a stronger finish. The interior felt premium, but the exterior lacked contrast. Too flat, too soft. We went with a vibrant green wrap, but that only made it more obvious — it needed sharp, sculpted details. That’s where carbon came in.

We wanted something strong. Something with definition. And the BMW XM G09 carbon fiber body kit from LARTE Design delivered exactly that.

Initially, I considered a few other brands. Some had designs I liked, but nothing was ready yet. With LARTE, everything was available — a complete body kit for BMW XM G09, developed, tested, and ready to ship.

We also had an important local advantage. In Tashkent, our long-time automotive advisor Timur had already installed a LARTE kit on his XM. It looked incredible — clean lines, bold stance. That gave us confidence. And when you can get the full BMW XM G09 accessories in one order, with clear logistics and local support, the decision is simple.

Let’s be honest — when you invest in premium parts, you expect everything to go perfectly. Not every moment was perfect. One of the carbon exhaust tips had a minor crack right after installation. But what mattered most was how quickly it was resolved. Alexey from LARTE got involved right away. Replacements were shipped out without delay. That kind of support builds trust — and reassures you that you’re working with a brand that stands behind its quality.

Now, with the custom body kit for BMW XM G09 fully installed, the car looks exactly how I wanted it: confident, defined, and undeniably mine.

Would I have added more? Absolutely. If there were forged carbon with gold flakes — like what we’re putting on my husband’s M5 — I would’ve picked that too. For me, it’s simple: If I like it — I take it. No matter the price. That’s just how I do things.

I don’t buy tuning kits to get attention. I choose what looks right to me. But whenever I do, people notice. That’s not the goal — but it happens. I don’t need convincing. I just need options.

And LARTE gave me the one that looked best. Now, this BMW XM G09 tuning project stands apart — not just bold, but sculpted, confident, and unmistakably mine.
