The BMW X5 may not win design awards but it’s not bad-looking either. However, the owner of this example obviously thought they could enhance its looks with some modifications. The results are shocking, to say the least.

This image was recently shared to Reddit and while we don’t know where it was snapped, we can say with confidence that this is the ugliest BMW X5 in existence. It is so ugly that if you look at it for too long, you may actually start to feel a little queasy.

The front of the X5 has been comprehensively altered with the fitment of new kidney grilles, a distinctive bumper, round fog lights, and a pronounced splitter. Making the front end all the more bizarre is the fact that it sits so tall and upright, giving the X5 a very boxy shape.

A handful of other modifications are visible from this single image of the SUV. For example, it now sports a distinctive hood and has been fitted with square fender flares. It is also rolling on a set of distinctive bronze aftermarket wheels and we can see that the side skirts have been extended. We don’t have any images showing the rear of the X5, but we suspect it is just as horrid to look at as the front end.

The new 4-Series has been copping a lot of flak for its design in recent months, but compared to this X5, it is a work of art.
