TurboT: Wait a month, before action. There is a chance you will get used to them. I can do nothing, because I am going to use them.

To paint them, best thing would be to remove the rails- but that is very probably tricky - you probably need to remove the inner roof.

There is an alternative - to tape them. There are firms, that can tape (re-skin) the whole car. If not in Finland - there are in Sweden.

Thx for pointing out the human nature point of view indeed sometimes some annoying issue is not so bad after all after some time.

Only just now found this video from my hard drive and just wanted to share this 0-100kmh-120kmh recording which I made some years ago.

0-100kmh took about 6secs which is as promised 5.8secs by BMW for X4 F26 30dA 190kW.

Nice. What winter tires are you running? Control looks solid.

Car had Nokian studded winter tyres. First day was quite hard as ice track is very slippery. But after sleeping one night the second day was much more easier and could also increase speed. Video taken on the second day. BMW is organizing these weekend session every winter, really recommend, lot of fun
