Share time: What were your first farkles?

Please share with us noobs, what have you added to your X3? Or wish to add?

Fuzzy dice? Bore kit? Glass pack?

OK, seriously: Window film? Bra? Bumper liner........?

Please tell of your satisfaction, and perhaps even your source.

Thanks!

Farkles?

My mom has exclusive first dibs on dashboard / rear view mirror garnishing. I've done tint, Opticoat, and recently 20" wheels

Here is the list I've done for my car.
Not all are "mods" but I consider them tasteful to improving the looks of my car. I really wish there were more aftermarket or even OEM performance mods available.
My favorites are the tint and black grills.


1)Black grilles
2)Front rear and trunk mats by weathertech
3)Car camera $60. (Gets the job done)
4)Tire plug kit and air pump for car.
5)Rear fog lights switch
6)Black out badges (haven't done them just yet but I do have the plastidip just need to find the time) also have the black overlays for the BMW logos.
7)Winco tints 30% front, 20% rear
8)Xpel plastic wrap, 1feet of the hood, fender and wheel arch.
9)Thule areoblades black roof rack

Great list of mods. Now you have me thinking about black grilles. Are yours the BMW units?

Interesting discussion here:

Farkles? My apologies, I'm on too many motorcycle forums.
Functional + Sparkle = Farkle
Also, Functional Accessory, Really Kool, Likely Expensive (urbandictionary)
After a look, it seems this is more of a bike term, although it can be applied to any vehicle.

Black grilles were installed before I took delivery.

BMW Performance Grilles in gloss black. They look great with the shadowline trim and roof runners.

Next up will be BMS intake and JB4.
