Added some spacers to the wheels, 20mm in the back 15mm in the front. I think it has a much more aggressive stance now. I also removed the iDrive emblem fromthe door and moved the //M emblem to where it is on the European Msport.

Xenon headlights are fun. I can still remember the first time they popped on as I pulled into my garage, the strobe effect was jarring.
I can understand the appeal of modifying an Alpine White model. It is after all among the most popular colors by far (I have one, 2014 X3 35i). All things considered, I would have put the money toward the more powerful engine - but I'm more interested in performance and what's under the hood than what the vehicle looks like. I do kind of like the idea of colorized caliper covers but I don't see myself doing it. |

Get H&R's. Love mine. Search for my posts.
And take off the poseur M badges please... Finally, if you have to ask whether modifying your car will void its warranty, then you shouldn't do so, because you should already know the answer to that... |

Are they really poser M badges if I'm just copying the European Msport? Genuine question. Edit: Took them off. Last edited by airbagit13; 11-08-2017 at 09:15 AM.. |

Just received my replacement Dinan Sport Tuner (the first was defective) only had a few minutes to drive it around but in Sport + mode it felt way more responsive to throttle input. Excited to drive around a bit more with it tomorrrow.

Nice job! Our X3s are very similar (we've done similar mods, too). I've been thinking about the black grilles, but am still on the fence about it.

I'm not a huge fan of the matte black grill I have. It's so bulky. Today someone stole the 3 //M inserts so I think I am going to try to find a gloss black grill. I am going to wrap my hood in roof with gloss black vinyl so I think it will look good.

contemplating grill mod too
Newbie here. I have the same alpine white 2017 X3 M sport, just got it! I am thinking about adding m sport touches on the outside just like you did - I like how the //M looks on the sides - nice! are you still happy with it?
Check out what I am thinking of getting for the grill (pics from sellers, not my m sport) glossy black double slat (to go with my black gloss rails) surrounded by carbon fiber frame. I plan to add some other genuine carbon fiber details. What do you all think of tri color vs not? I love the look but worry it implies M performance engine? I do have a 35i engine, but not quite the same. Finally, did you get genuine BMW door projector lights or much more affordable non-OEM? I'm excited to be a member of the bimmer club! |

Hey airbagit13, thanks
Your X3 looks awesome... I like the little M badges on the sides too! Here's one seller on AliExpress (China) that has a variety, with and without tricolor for example: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Doub...52da3c00nrVXc0 But it's hard to know how reliable these Chinese suppliers are... I've decided no to tricolor but still contemplating double slat vs single slat for my M-sport X3, not sure how people feel about using doubles for non-M performance vehicles? |
