Lightweight BMW X4 has also been extensively modified. It includes a frozen grey wrap which makes the car look not only exceptionally stealthy and aggressive, but also helps to accentuate the vehicle\u2019s aggressive lines particularly those running along both sides. Elsewhere, a carbon fibre front splitter has been installed alongside carbon wing mirror caps, a carbon rear spoiler and a new rear apron insert.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gtspiritmedia.com\/gtspirit\/uploads\/2015\/08\/20388672281232097838.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gtspiritmedia.com\/gtspirit\/uploads\/2015\/08\/20388672281232097838-696x385.jpg\" alt=\"20388672281232097838\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-128380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/20388672281232097838-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/20388672281232097838-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/20388672281232097838-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/20388672281232097838-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/20388672281232097838.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, the Lightweight X4 is rolling on a set of 21-inch black wheels complete with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres.
