E series to a G series, partly anyway 🤔

The presenter talked about headlights, not sure if she meant the cars, or hers :oops:

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should!

I agree. I dislike the G series looks anyway but the new metal sections are probably not treated the same, or at all, like the factory build.

I admire the concept but not the outcome.

The presenter is definitely there to try and take your eye off the car :rofl: :rofl: works too
As for the Car, Cost of Kit + cost of Bodywork + cost Re-spray + Labour :? It would be probably cheaper and quicker to Trade it in for a Genuine X6 M

My other thought was really around was this genuine ‘conversion’ or a carefully edited scam? They started with an E71 and ended with a G06 and somewhere around the rapid (and short) cut shots went from one to the other…….or did they? If they did then well done, but the effort seems to be excessive for what could be solved as suggested above, with a trade-in/up.

I cant see the point in all the effort and cost to end up with a mongrel. I don't imagine it would be easy to insure either. Not in the UK anyway.

And it is definitely a betteroption not to do it.
