RG Sport BMW F97 X3M Competition Build (Picture Heavy!!!)
As you guys may know, late October 2019, I took delivery of 2020 BMW F97 X3M Competition in Donington Grey with Sakhir Orange Interior.
Within a week, I have RaceChip GTS Black installed and HRE P101SC in Brushed Bronze wrapped in Toyo Tires Proxes Sport. It was all done for RaceChip's SEMA 2019 Booth. Loved the car since I saw it in person at Bimmerfest 2019 in May. Test drove 3-4 of them during ///M Town and local dealership. While color combination wise, I fell in love with Donington Grey Metallic since the first time I was it on F85 X5M. It is the best color after Toronto Red. I was debating so hard between the two, but since I am going to have Sakhir Orange interior, I can't have bright interior with bright exterior. So, Donington Grey Metallic / Sakhir Orang it is. Close to 90 days later, another 100+ hp on top of the stock and 2400 miles on the clock. It still gives me a big smile everytime I drive it. Here is detail of my car with the mods up to today. 2020 BMW F97 X3M Competition in Donington Grey Metallic exterior / Sakhir Orang interior. Mods: - RaceChip GTS Black with App - HRE_Wheels HRE P101SC in Brushed Bronze - 21x9.5 / 21x11 - Toyo Tires Proxes Sport - 255/40-21 / 295/35-21 - BavSound StageOne and GhostWoofer speaker upgrade - Evolution Racewerks Catless Primary Downpipe - AutoTecknic Dry Carbon Paddle Shifter - AutoTecknic Carbon Fiber / Alcantara Steering Wheel Trim - AutoTecknic Carbon Fiber Gear Shifter Trim - AutoTecknic Carbon Fiber Kidney Grill Surround - RG Sport Painted Front Bumper Reflector - Charcoal filter delete - ASD Unplugged - Coding - Akrapovic Slip-On Line with Carbon Fiber Tips - MSS Urban Adjustable Ride System Anyway, enough with rambling, here are the specs, pictures and enjoy.

Thanks.
I only have dyno result. I don't have open backroad that I can run 1/4 safely.

Hard to tell since I didn't put a lot of miles on stock wheels.
Only 1 week on stock wheels.

Wow what an amazing build so far! Incredible! The wheels and tires give the car such an aggressive perfect stance! Really got me thinking! Nicely done man. Can't wait to see more down the line.

So that's 41.2 lbs unsprung weight removed - I bet that modification alone should allow noticeable performance improvement. Doubt anybody will analyze 'before and after' 1/4 mile or track data, but would be interesting to see. Thanks again! |

Yes, the car looks absolutely lovely! Even those decals look good (usually not a friend of stickers and decals. It also shows how important the wheels are for the overall appearance. Did you use spacers? I want to put 265 in the front and 285 in the rear, will I need spacers?

I like the wrapped support bars behind the grill - wonder how that would look in //M colors? |

The car looks awesome and performs great, but it sounds like crap. I hope your exhaust wakes it up.
