I agree with Killdork!

It seems we generally have different ideas and views in different parts of the world when it comes to customizing cars.

Here in the UK, customizing a new BMW other than adding OEM accessories or parts from AC Schnitzer or Alpina, is generally considered a big no, no and it can hammer the resale value. The same applies to other prestige makes e.g. Mercedes and AMG/Brabus etc. Chrome wheels on a BMW in the UK would be laughed at.............I hope I never see one!

Color choice is also very important. White seems popular in the US but in the UK it can knock £1000-£2000 of the resale value in the first 3 years!

At the end of the dayI think we're all agreed that if you bought the car, you can customize it as you wish.........you've got to live with it just don't expect others to like it!
