Newly Acquired F25 LCI M Sport
Greetings All
New to the X3 but certainly not new to BMW (04 E46 and a 16 F32.) The girlfriend snagged a 17 Space Gray F25 M Sport (N20) unexpectedly today so I'm on to a new project with some tasteful mods since I'm done with my other two cars. Needless to say, mods for the X3 are relatively non existent compare to what you can get for the 3/4 series. Going with gloss black single slat kidneys. After a quick search the M Performance ones are the same price as aftermarket so I'll probably order those soon. Are there any companies that make a nice front lip/splitter? I have the M Performance CF on my F32 and would like to find something subtle but I can't find much. I came across Magna Tuning and Maxton Design but I'm not reading much about them so I'll need to dig a little deeper before I seriously consider either. Any suggestions? TIA JJR |

afaik, that maxton one is great as far as fitment and price point goes
I'm not aware of any other ones (then again, I dont own a face lift model, so I havent looked very hard) |

I did however remove the front plate bracket and coded a handful of things. 1/2 second convenient open and close with the key fob, fogs allowed with high beams, 50% AE brightness, no Idrive warning, etc. |

The Maxton one is one of the only reasonable ones I've found. I looked on AliExpress (I know....I know...) and found a good looking front lip but the shipping was over $500! so that one is out of the question!
I have a '17 35i MSport, and the wife has a '16 same specs. That gray looks fantastic! |

Thank you all for the replies and suggestions. Snagged OE M Performance grills for $60 in near perfect condition so that was a score. Also coded a bunch of things with BimmerCode.
Next? Figuring out a front lip situation If I can source aluminum interior I'd prefer that Might wrap the roof gloss black (and mirrors) LED blinkers/interior lights Maybe get ski racks or cargo box for ski season Few more random pics added 👍 |
