My 4.4 was my first and I loved it! Size was perfect. I got a little antsy when it had a water leak with the moonroof and the satellite never worked good. I had awesome 20" wheels. It was killer! Truffle Brown interior. The sound on cold start was great! I remember the first time I test drive and turned the ignition on! I was sold!

The 2007 was fun. I had the 20" wheels again. The y spoke were great! Little on the big side. I preferred the 1st gen when it came to size.

I purchased the 2007 x3 for my wife. She loved it. Little hard on her with steering and manual trunk. Size and looks where great for her.

The first year of the f25 x3. I still have it. Love the size, look (especially with 20" wheels). I recently did all of the upgrades to satisfy me until the x3m comes out. With the upgrades it is really fun!

The Macan Turbo was awesome! I would still have it if I didn't lose my job and take a 40% comp cut! The feel, look,power, seat comfort, smell (lol), sound, painted calipers (lol), were awesome! I really miss it! They did a great job with it! If I were to do over I'd get the GTS and load it with options.

Really like your X3, where did you get the floor mats and what did you do to get the beautiful look on the exterior?

So the interior carbon fiber trim is all OE from BMW and not a wrap? It looks great.

Yes that is correct you can purchase from BMW parts.

My BMW dealer. I was impressed! We talked about it. I sent them pictures of other installs that I found on our forum. They were a little hesitant but offered to try. I was reassuring to them. Came out great!

Get the headligh amber reflector overlays from bimmian! And silvervision bulbs!

was it pricey to do exhaust modification thru dealership?

No they charge about $120 per hour of work. The parts where more expensive. The dual exhaust was about $1,800 and the straight pipe about $400. It might have been about 6 hours total install time.

PIEZON I'm getting Downpipes i looked on Realoem.com and it shows X3/X4 35i and X4 M40i share the same part number for downpipes :-D

I am thinking of reaching out to the best of the best Welders in Tri-State area to see if we setup a Group Buy price

drp087 · 09-23-2016, 07:01 PM

PIEZON Did you go with the Supersprint Straight pipe? How does it sound compared to with the resonator?

Sounds good to me! I was concerned with the SS DP messing with emission codes, etc. I'm in if it does not mess with anything. I don't want to have to swap out every time I go for inspection.

Yes I did go with the straight pipe. Not bad. Not as growl as I would like but not bad! X4 M40i sounds better!

Here is a recent video...

Hmmm...wonder if the X4 M40i's muffler will fit on the X3 35i?

That is an interesting question! I wonder if the sound is muffler and/or some type of engine tuning too?
