This is my 2016 X3 28i it came solid black from the factory. It had underglow and the stripes for awhile, it's back to its solid black state with the euro plate still, absolutely love the car and it makes me smile everyday. Thoughts on what I could do next?

Debadge.

It is your car, but since you ask on forum, here is what I would do were I to end up with an all black X3 exactly like yours:

- Debadge
- grilles with chrome or satin chrome outline (front details get lost)
- anthracite grey or gunmetal rims

Black wheels look was popular in 00s, I think it is not a successful look, car never looks good when dirty with those especially as tyres age and sidewalls turn that brownish hue while rims even clean, stick out. Plus curbs hitting rims on bad parking only once, they will kill it.

Thought about doing it a little offroad rig style, slight lift and slight oversized tyre (2%max)? Can fit some nice extra spot lights, etc. Not for all, but looks good on black cars (which I only owned once, and never again).

This is the car atm, it came with rims black from factory as well, the car was custom built and shipped from Germany to America. It recently just got a bigger turbo, trans rebuild, new ECU, and everything else fixed. Some water got up and hit my ecu and fried my circuits to some parts and they stopped working so Insurance fixed them, I only paid 10k for the car so not bad.

Beautiful SUV!
Would love to get one like it, but just bought a great 2013 X3 for a very reasonable price and almost perfect paint from UT and CA.
Not black, but Space Gray, which is very attractive as well and does not show as much dirt.

GL with your new toy!

Very nice w/o the stripes. Well done!

Very nice

I would get the tail lights tinted a little darker, not too dark though. Next I would get new rims because the black on black does not look good.

looks clean

Nice looking.
