Should your business operate in the sphere of modifying vehicles, resculpting a BMW X6 won't bear much fruit. That's because it hogs up most of the world's ugly.
German tuner Lumma Design missed that memo. Which explains why it's added a front spoiler with swollen air inlets, twin LED running lights, weird eyebrow things and a carbon boot spoiler to Munich's great-to-drive-but-challenging-to-look at SuperSUVCoupe.

There's also an enormous wide arch kit, enflamed side skirts and an extremely modified rear apron-cum-diffuser. The chrome kidney grills have also been daubed with matte black paint.
Underneath, there's a set of Racing CLR 22x10in front and 22x12in rear wheels of Lumma's design, which don't do a terribly good job of disguising the yellow painted brake calipers.
The Lumma X6 has been played with under the bonnet too, with power from BMW's fabulous 3.0-litre diesel boosted to 340bhp. Lumma uses a fancypants d-box, which is a power module for the accelerator pedal that provides a better throttle response. There's also the mandatory quadruple big-bore exhaust malarkey.
Inside, it's similarly... provocative. There's an ergonomically formed and upholstered sport steering wheel, the seats have had two-tone leather with contrasting stitching stretched over them and the backrest shells are made in what the company calls ‘structured carbon leather'.
The instruments and seat belts have also been colour-coordinated along with the mats, which are all bordered with leather. You'll also find illuminated sill panels, which describe the Lumma logo in glowing, vodka-bar green.
The company describes this as an X6 with ‘a sensibly more graceful manner, without having lost any spark of joy of sportive auto car drive.'
So, what do you guys think?

The problem with the X6 isn't that's it's ugly, It's that it has a redundant purpose. It's an SUV with restricted luggage capacity. The suspension and gearing is not adequate for off-road use and is too soft and high for aerodynamic road use. As a design piece, the standard car is top bedroom poster material but in practical application it sucks. What Lumma has done it turned the X6 into a 5-Series GT; so what's the point of that?

@WooDZ, how can X6 be not aerodynamic when it beats supercars at the nurburgring by a mile? You will have be in this beats to realise what an engineeering masterpiece it is. BMW pulled all their physics at this behemoth. What SUV is there to compare with the X6? None! X6 is king. That Lumma Design is Ace. I like it. I saw one in east London few weeks ago and its more striking when you see it in flesh.
