It is MOSTLY a direct fit, just a few tweaks needed to be done by them as I was already aware from another X3 35i owner who tried it. Shouldn't take the shop more than 1.5hr to do this completed, although my shop works heavily with Fabrication for Performance still required some creativity.

To sum it up, it was just another screw for the mount that was needed, a little jammy rigging and some new mount holes so i don't recommend anyone doing this without a lift especially because the upgraded IC weighs more than stock IC.
