I like that box. Very nice.

That's really cool. I don't have a 3d printer, but saved the files for if I get one. Thanks a lot!

Ngl the sticker ‘stain’ would drive me crazy, but it looks way better without the sticker for sure.

I had planned to wrap the headliner in alcantara eventually and will likely follow your lead to remove the stickers (and wrap them in alcantwra as well).

Yeah I assume mine faded just from my car being 5 years old, plus the more you work on it the better it’ll look, I plan on doing a full interior swap I hate the current color:/ when I do that I’ll most likely wrap mine in alcantara aswell

Not as bad as Volvo, they offered me £34k for a near fully loaded X3 M40d, 2022 LCI with 19k on the clock.

Suffice to say, I told them to piss off!

Headlight film addition

Well, it wasn't fun and I still have to wait to see how it cures over the next few days but the Lamin-X headlight film looks pretty good. I did "tint" on my car and Gunsmoke on the wifes.

I also:
-Had the front and windshield done in ceramic tint - 70% windshield, 30% front
-Switched the fake side vents from cerium to gloss black to complete the shadowline look

I wasn't looking for privacy with the tint, just heat rejection. I think it looks pretty good.

Did my 2nd oil change since purchasing the car. I just used Mobil 1 0W-30 ESP from my local autozone. Not LL approved but it does meet ACEA-C3 so I figured it was close enough. Also rolled over 50k miles recently - forgot I was getting close and missed the milestone odometer pic...

No jack or ramp used for the change. Only challenge with this method is it's a little difficult to keep the torque wrench on the drain plug while torquing it.


Probably the cleanest oil change I've ever done...just a few drops instead of the usual puddle..
