Fitted X3M Competition style Grilles
Fitted a detachable towbar and the X3M Competition style gloss black Grilles at the weekend, £55 off ebay for the grilles and a perfect fit, they looked a bit odd by themselves against the white, but so glad to remove the old man chrome kidney rings, had to fit the M badge to add a little bling and make it look like how it should have come from the factory and less like an add on!
Wifey thinks it looks like a storm trooper..................she always did have an over active imagination, but I can sort of see where she's going with it! Next, it's black mirror caps, dynamic mirror indicators and rear indicators, X3M side vents and Maxton front splitter (would love the 3D design front splitter but at £1600 its out of my budget for accessories, wish they'd make an ABS one rather than carbon, it would be a more reasonable price. Lets hope our friends in the peoples republic of corona virus read these forums and copy it soon!) Other things in mind are to have the little bit OTT black M performance decal that fits in the lower grille opening made and fit it, but without the M Performance logo to make it more subtle, remove the chrome badges from the lower tailgate and fit the black X3 M competition badge high up with the competition logo removed.........then, that's the outside complete! Moving to the inside, mine doesn't have wireless charging, but I've just ordered a wireless charger (from ebay), that looks like the factory one when fitted, I see someone else on the forum has already successfully fitted one and I hate charging cables everywhere! Then, get on my Bimmercode app to see if I can get the speed limit info and digital speedo to work in all modes, if not, its a cheap HUD so I can have the digital speedo on the windscreen, I just want the speed not all the other crap that they seem to come with, this was so useful in saving my license when driving my F31 shadow edition that has just been passed down the family line!

Hey there, looks great! Definitely like a storm trouper--your wife is right!
Interesting to see that the X3MC grilles swap easily. Does your car have the active kidney grilles? |

Hi,
Yes, they're active! Below is the ebay link for the ones I purchased, they came beautifully packed with plenty of packing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GRILLE-FO...72.m2749.l2649 Last edited by gashon1; 03-10-2020 at 11:32 AM.. |

BMW Connected drive
So after a month of waiting for BMW Connected to figure out why my app doesn't work I'm told to take it to the dealer. The dealer needs to open a TSARA ticket. They said it's a hardware issue and the dealer needs to talk with BMW of America. It's supposed to take at least 2 days. My app hasn't worked since I bought my 2020 new in December.

Color matched license plate frames added today! Finally warm enough to paint. Ordered the frames from Amazon for $14 each. Powder coated (black) stainless that look to be very close to the type IND sells. I had some etching primer already as well as clear acrylic lacquer so the only thing I needed to buy was the Phytonic Blue paint. I have at least enough to do another 2-4 frames if these need touch up in a couple years. Painted them outside and let them cure inside for a few days. Mounted with the included stainless steel hardware and screw caps that I also painted. I'm happy with the way they turned out.

I just dropped her off at the dealership for the TSARA. I received a new 2020 X5 40i. The brakes on the X5 are really weak compared to the X3 M40i.

I'm gonna mod my 2500HD and watch all the poserphobic M fanboys heads explode as I drive around the Southlake town center.

Sure, I was all set to hit they buy button on some curb feelers and now you're all making me feel bad my car has an M on it. Time to get out the heat gun I suppose.
I have no experience with M cars other than I test drove a 2018 X5M. I ended up buying the 40i. The X5M was fast, but it was also BIG and didn't feel as nimble. To each his own. |
