With alleged similarity to a lyric line from a certain song ...
"White X5 looks like a Panda"

Some may feel it might appeal to persons looking to start out dealing in particular lines of business.

The body kit isn't hideous tbh...albeit not my cup of tea. I dont like the black paint to the bonnet though and under all that frock there wont be a lot of shock. X5M it is NOT.

Don't worry, it was never a good car. It's ex-police, so it doesn't even have stuff that was standard equipment on retail models, like parking sensors. You literally couldn't buy an X5 this badly specced.
