Are you planning to use a hose to clean it or just wipe it down? If you are using a water hose I don't suggest you to take engine cover off. For N20 engine the cover just pop up by lifiting the side.

I utilized the search threads feature, typed in "radiator" and oddly, this thread shows up on top. I'll just go with it / not question it
I am approaching 120k miles soon. Plan to replace the Coolant Expansion tank and the little recovery hose that goes to it. "while I'm in there" , can you guys recommend anything I replace? drain and fill coolant? replace upper and/or lower rad hoses? rad cap? thx in adv x3 fam! |

Serpentine belt, and check for play or gritty feel when spinning idler pulley by hand; neither last forever.

Serpentine belt and bolt , tensioner, pulley. Ended up having to remove the radiator fan to gain access for the T60 bolt on the tensioner.

Amber side marker delete?
Hey DRiveB, your headlights look fantastic! Are they complete replacement, or some kind of overlay that hides the Amber?
Can you please share where you bought? I’m gearing up to pull the trigger on a ‘14 35i MSport, can’t wait...

Flashed Bootmod3 Stage 1.
Very happy... so much faster with tons of low-end torque for getting off the line.

Step one: swap to black kidney grills, aFe magnum force intake, +bm3 stage 1. Step two: VRSF intercooler, VRSF catted down pipes, VRSF charge pipe, bm3 stage 2. While I’m happy the Amber corner on the headlights is fairly subtle, I really want to figure out the easiest way to get rid of it, hoping one of you find people have advice there... I’ve seen one member with paint matched vinyl (looks like) covering them, but others where it’s just clear, (is that euro models? And anyone know where to buy euro headlights?) |

I’ll report back after it’s done, and only that done, to subjectively report on the experience of that alone :-) |

I too am on the hunt to clear out the amber I'm guessing.... we're gonna have to open up the head lights, physically remove the amber, then replace the front lens over the headlight housing? |

Istalled a Tow Hitch
I installed the Curt 13316 hitch receiver, Curt 56146 wire kit, and Curt 55151 powered wiring kit.
I am pleased to report that the comfort access foot-activated-opening-doohicky (technical term) still works after installing the hitch. |

New Cargo Carrier
Didn't really do anything to the X3 per se, but I did get a new hitch-mounted cargo carrier and put it together today.

HighDef: car looks VERY sharp, nice work. I should get with the program on cleaning my car- but it's raining here in SoCal right now, can you believe that!
