I live in Prague, I’m 26, and cars have always been my thing. I’ve modded a few before — one of them even had a Mansory kit. So yeah, I’m no stranger to tuning. But this time, with the BMW XM, I wanted something else. Something a little less flashy — but still bold. More like me.

Didn’t Plan It. Just Knew I Wanted More.

It Started with a DM to the Founder
It Started with a DM to the Founder
I’d seen LARTE around — always liked their style. Clean, aggressive, but not trying too hard. One day, I just hit up Alexey, the founder, on Instagram. Didn’t expect a reply, but he passed me on to someone from the team.That’s how I got in touch with Dmitry (shoutout to him, he’s a real one). We talked. A lot. I told him I wasn’t sure. At first, I even considered doing the project with another shop here in Prague — but then I figured, why not do it properly?

I Wasn’t Even Gonna Go with Their Wheels
I Wasn’t Even Gonna Go with Their Wheels
When I first saw the wheels, I was like, “Nah, not for me.” But Dmitry showed me what the full build would look like with them — and man, that changed my mind. He had this digital rendering made for me, and the car looked fire. We picked the full gloss black kit with sharp, clean lines, just the way I wanted it. No overkill. No clutter.

Drove the car over myself to Germany. Got to meet the crew, see the place — super professionals and really nice friendly people. No corporate pressure, just car people doing cool stuff. When I came back to pick it up, I swear I didn’t recognize my own car at first. The stance, the finish, the presence — it all just clicked!

Now It Feels Truly Mine
Now It Feels Truly Mine
The design’s loud in the right way, but not screaming. It looks like I planned every detail — which, well, I kinda did. And that’s what I love about it. Not some off-the-shelf show-off build. It’s mine. Personal. Feels right!
Would I do it again? 100%. And next time, I’m not doubting the wheels. Thanks, LARTE!
