The front fills more planted and a little more feedback in the steering wheel. It like a slightly bigger sway bar on the front. Waiting on the rear OEM X3MC brace, it seems no US dealer have them so coming from Germany. But overall less body roll in corners.

So just wanted to share an update on AshtonPJT intake duct fitment for LCI model. I had an AFE power duct that I hacked to make it fit, its the smaller duct in the pics for comparison.

The larger mouth is attached to a base plate on the current design. Here you can see it fit well into the side using the oem tab locations. The base plate may be something that may be used in the future for adjustment or maybe used as a true mounting plate to switch out a different duct, color, etc. This is just a test fit model and wanted some feedback from you guys.

FYI this is not the finish the end product will come with this is just a prototype to make sure fitment is good

Burr001, seems like you don't have the active shutters? I think the final version may need to not extend as far so that it doesn't bump the shutters and such?

Active shutters will need to be removed, it’s very easy and reversible. You litterly just pull on them and the pop out of the taps and to put them back in you just line them up 😂

I meant with the active shutters there, it seems like your latest prototype may clash with it? Or maybe it's just the angle i'm looking at it?
