Built out a 2020 X3 M40i. The day of pickup, I decided...f*ck it, and picked up a loaded X3M. Black wasn't my first option, nor was white ivory interior, but I wanted all the options on it and Christmas was just around the corner
So first thing's first, let's chrome delete:
- X3M Badge
- Black Kidney Grilles w/black chrome badge
- Black Side Vents
I'm a huge fan of lights, so went ahead and added some 18 led license plate lights so I can better be identified :]
Yah so definitely no on the BMW Stripes
Owell changing them out!

Wait..but first let's load her up and go hunting!
During Covid, the approval for the Vanity plates were expedited :]
Powder coated the stock rims...something seems off..
..Ahh the size! Updated to the stock 21 inches!
After powder coating these black and figured since everyone and their mother has a black car..I wanted to try something different and rip a page from Manhart :] So let the replication process begin!
Big shoutout to Alphawerks! (photoshoot was also thanks to him)
Decided to balance out the gold trims with gold calipers! Also dropped it on H&R Springs. Shoutout to SS Customs for the install!
Alright time for some simple interior decorating..how about paint matched performance paddles?
Really really recommend the carbon fiber shifter as well. Mind the scratches as it was a pain in the ass to install
I really needed something with more noise, the moment Eisenmann released their exhaust.. I absolutely needed it!
Blacked out the emblems...but for some reason they look like buttons to me now..so either ill be changing them to offset with matte black or just go with the black edged ind ones
Cool beans, I always wanted to work with OSS or Oneighty on custom headlights. Went with Oneighty on this as their design seemed much more OEM.
Blacked out the housing and added demon eyes. They change colors and strobe and all that good stuff..but let's be honest...Red FTW
Big shoutout to Performance Technic for this install as well as the Eisenmann exhaust too and their high quality photos
Swapped out the idrive for chrome/ceramic pulled from 7ers.
Got the RKP Lip! Wrapped it! And the custom mudflaps..the oem ones never sat well with me, maybe they're too bulky or too matte
Below are pictures over the weekend. More will be coming along with rollers etc!
Was blessed to join the Norcal Meet and great to see other f97s rep!
There were plenty of people talking about wanting to make a switch over. Can't blame them right?
Thanks for reading and following! Drive safe
