The front mud flap looks good on your paint color. Not sure how good they would look on my Glacier Silver. Since I have paint protection film and coating in that area, am just running the idea of mud flaps over in my mind.

Oil change and brake fluid flush at the dealer, covered at no charge under Ultimate Care.

28k miles in two years, and trouble free. It's been a great vehicle and the BMW dealer experience is 10x better than the Mercedes dealer experience in the same town.

My BMW dealer just started using narrated video walk arounds done by the service technician, sent to me via text. Outstanding. I will be surprised if the Mercedes dealer ever comes close to this level of customer connection.

Brakes have alot of life remaining. Tires will be due next year, possibly sooner. The runflats are terrible.

Multi-day combination post.

Horrible cerium grey deletion is well underway.. Fender vents went from the OEM grey, to X3MC clones (which I HATED the bulky look of), so I promptly ordered a set of BMW shadowline gloss black "vents". Ahhh.. now I'm happy with them.

Also, last week I installed BMW gloss black kidneys, and some might notice that the boomerangs are a little darker than usual.. that's because I two-stage painted them "Dark Shadow Metallic" which is the same color as the rear diffuser.

Next up.. mirrors.

Somewhere earlier on this thread someone had his paint matched. I think it was a light colour.

Call me ignorant, but I thought the rear mud flaps would also go behind the wheel.

Lol, exactly I thought!

MidnightRiderM · 04-08-2021, 12:14 PM

Waterless hand wash.

Looks great!

Technically washed the car at the weekend I just never drove it. Nicest day of the year so far in Montreal and had to head to the shops. Love looking back it it after I park, not as much as I enjoy driving it though!

Standard parking away from everyone else 🤓

Traded it in on a 2021 X3M Competition.

We hit 25c this afternoon in Ottawa, so it was a good day to take the Cab out.

Nice! What's your cab?

Didn't check the high but was out when it was 22c so very enjoyable. I have access to an F-Type R cab in the family when it's not in use. Can't beat good weather and the roof down! After my kids grow up a bit I'm going to get a drop top again (had an e89 Z4 back in the UK before I moved out here)

D'uh should've guessed that from your name! What a beauty. Congrats!

Good work! Love the drop. I really want to get the black badges on my AW too.

🤣🤣 hate to disappoint but must've been my lucky day. No one in the spaces all around me 😎

JimPastell · 04-13-2021, 09:31 AM

Replaced the iX3-unique "side vents" for a pair of X3MC style vents from Amazon.
Next up is gloss black trunk badges and a black repaint of the wheels.

Lady Jane · 04-13-2021, 11:41 AM

Second coat of ceramic glaze.
