Oh dang, didn't know you could even swap the buttons. I've kinda gotten used to the thumbwheel for prev/next functionality, but it is kinda nice not to have to double press for it.

Vehicle went in for 25k mi service (oil change, brake flush, filters) and I had them check the ambient light strips that had hot spots and the exterior lower door trim that was loose.

Replacing the lower door trim with new pieces, and they replaced the ambient light strips (all 4 doors) but that didn't resolve the hot spot issues. Update is they're working with BMW to get new modules for the ambient lights. Did give us a brand new X3 (115 mi) for the loaner.

The LED strips are just a bad design because its a diffuse glow design instead of a fiber optice defuse glow, probably at cost savings, I hate it and ignore it now. Cant wait for my 25k service after 3 years lmao.

danniexi · 04-10-2024, 10:21 AM

yeah ive had hot spots when i got the car delivered. not worth the hassle and i just ignore it.

Bee Pee · 04-11-2024, 03:34 AM

Mich M01 PS4S 265/295 on first thing this morning and now waiting for an alignment…

Bee Pee · 04-11-2024, 05:39 AM

Alignment now done and drives much better ! I think that’s mainly to do with alignment moreso than the fatter 265/295 MPS4S

Will report on initial findings on tyre change in the 265/295 tyre thread

Installed my Summer Wheels

IND rear reflector delete pre lCI Donington Grey

ttx3m · 04-12-2024, 10:36 PM

Happy with the results from Adams Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating Advanced. A simple foam canon and rinse was all it took.

Her's were pretty bad. Two modules are being ordered and replaced. One will be in Monday & will get installed so we can have the car back. The other is "no ETA available", so they'll let us know when that arrives.

I'll say I've been quite impressed with the service at BMW of Dallas, 100% better than Sewell BMW.

This looks excellent. Those LCI tail lights look a lot better on a Donington Grey X3 MC then I thought. Would you mind posting a few more photos... ?

Kevin you have to do it, you already have the bottom painted black like the LCI

Finished blacking out the rear end and sides

cant wait for wheels and other stuff to arrive

M4Lou · 04-14-2024, 02:40 PM

I like the CF side markers you have. My 24 came with all black sides and all black rear - against BSM you cannot really see them. I guess some would like.

I'd like to see matching dark gray or CF sides (like yours) and then dark gray or CF rears (the right X3M). Maybe a tiny bit of contrast????

luckylingy · 04-14-2024, 05:38 PM

Another Sunday drive with our dogs (they're in there, trust me). Big Glen Lake below, South Manitou Island in the distance.

Thanks!
The reflectors not real CF which is why they don't match the (real cf) vents. I had some left over CF wrap from when we did my kid's spoiler, so I just used that until I can find someone on Ali to make me a CF set
