What did you do to your G01 X3 today?

Battin4th · 03-16-2019, 09:42 PM

Installed these today. Couldn't open the door all the way since it was in the garage.

Looks cool but would also drive me nuts on a daily basis to see that the light carpet interfere with the other light.

Battin4th · 03-16-2019, 11:39 PM

I haven't been able to see it personally with the door fully open at night yet, but I am trackin' with ya.

Also ordered PPF for the rocker panels today.

Ceramic Protection Body
Ceramic Protection Wheels
Glass coating all around

Pictures don't do justice really, the coating does indeed magnify the metallic flecks too.

Great work from Intimate Detailing in the Wirral NW. Cracking work from Kev who also did my M3

Put black kidney grill and black side vents in, from IND.
Needs to be washed but its been raining the past two weeks :/
Shoutout to chicagofan00 for giving me some advice on stock grill removal.

They look like the bottom third of each headlight is filled with water! We definitely don't get those headlights here in UK.

Pre cut or a full roll?

Battin4th · 03-17-2019, 08:57 PM

Pre-cut. I have ordered clear bras from them for my last 2 cars. Probably will order another for m40. I confirmed with them that the film for the 2018MY should also fit 2019MY.

I wouldn't say they were as easy as that video makes it seem, but you can be a lot more rough on them then you think you could. I was being pretty soft with it.

Id honestly say the first grill took maybe like 30 minutes and the second one took like 5 because I figured out what I was doing and looking for.

It's the first out of three levels of headlights on G01, "LED Headlights", LED low beam, Halogen High beam, bulb turn indicator.
DRL is the bottom of the two rings.

dj_intrinsic · 03-18-2019, 05:36 PM

Was slightly skeptical about ordering a "carbon fiber style" center console trim piece, but it looks pretty good. Can't complain much for spending $30 instead of $300+ for a real CF piece. Fit is pretty good also.

I just hated the piano black trim

Looks good to me. I may give it a try.

DHA-uk · 03-19-2019, 04:31 AM

(well yesterday morning)

Tested launch control. Tyres less than 10degC. Air temp 3.5degC. Car in comfort mode.

4.8 0-60

Slipped a bit due to the cold tyre/road conditions.

Interesting! Doesn't launch control only work in Sport mode, and with traction control on?
