Gold BMW X6 Hamman Supreme Edition - the car that taste forgot?

If you've got a pot load of money you can pretty much do what you want with it.  But money doesn't buy taste.  And the owner of this BMW X6 Hamman Supreme Edition seems to have plenty of cash and very little taste.

Take one BMW X6 (already a symbol of blasé opulence), add a bodykit and some bling wheels, tune the 4.4 litre twin turbo engine to 670bhp - and paint it all gold.

Top Gear magazine calls the X6 a "Lifestyle statement for fat, unhappy, undersexed, overpaid knuckle draggers."  What do the bodykit, tuning and gold paint add to that?  Suggestions welcome.

The X6 M costs £85k.  The bodykit costs £15k.  Add in the gold paint and tuning and you're looking at circa £110,000.  That would buy a Range Rover 5.0 V8 Supercharged Autobiography - with £10k to spend on options.

Which would you rather own?
