Here is the current state of progress (it's alot more customised than just scaling it now):

 

Holy crap, that is a great mod!

 

Awesome!

 

The only concern is that the front vents are hideously tall.

 

holy crap! ur a genius dude! looks exactly as it should! as far as design suggestions go, i would say leave the taillights unscaled, they look a bit oblong...... but the rest of it works brilliantly

 

Iconic. Bless you.

 

It's future, here is the 2019 X5 (well, probably):

They're not just scaled, I made deeper edits -forgot to post comparison pics, I'm not happy with the shape, too.

The vents, roofrag and sidesteps will become ingame as seen in this awesome drawing .

 

Это гениально! )

 

need a tester i valunteer for this car looks sick dude

 

The taillights' design needs to change to look more like the .jpg, but otherwise, it's bomb.

 

Added some comparison pics - also thank you for all the nice comments, I do appreciate that

Yes, that might do the trick.

 

Great idea, but right now, it looks really boxy. Hopefully the finished product will look good .

 

Wow, that already looks very convincing!

 

The rear end looks better now, but how does it look if you just use the normal size and shape for the 800 series taillights or even k series lights?

 

That looks really Mazda-ish somehowXD

 

I think the hood line should be slightly more level or higher in the front like so

 

Those lights look just like the MX-5 and the body style as a CX-9. I just noticed lol.

 

totally agree with 111111111 the front needs to be a little bit more square (also the hoodline is a little bit to squirmy imo)

 

it's looking good! keep it up!
