What did you do to your X3/X4 M today?

Radman_F97 · 10-21-2021, 08:41 PM

Wrapped the grill, side "vents" and plastic dipped the rear X3M emblem.

Wow definitely looks more aggressive and clean looking. Love it.

Sick ride man. Please post some more daytime shots. Is this the Dark Graphite Metallic... ? And do you have lowering springs... ?

I Like them a lot.
Ride quality is comparable to stock
Ride hight is a lot better than stock. The springs/vehicle will settle with another 100 miles or so.
The handling is amazing!

I didn't go with coil overs because, I would never adjust the ride hight or settings since I'm lazy.. Drop it and drive..

Three runs on the Tail of the Dragon, Cherohola, and more. 250 Rennsport Porsches, exotics, and an Orange Mustang club were all running them today! Unfortunately an SD card error on my GoPro so no video evidence

good to hear. i feel like stock is already comfortable as it is. dont want to change the ride quality. def could use the lower ride height.

any unusual sounds? issues with Dinan that I have read so those are off the table now. and yeah, i dont mess with ride heights so no need for MSS.

Oldgixxer · 10-22-2021, 03:22 PM

Debadged the ass and tinted the drivers side/passenger side to match the rear windows and had the windshield done as well to keep the heat out

Poffman · 10-22-2021, 03:53 PM

Got it… and same day got rid of those terrible front reflectors. White spot is reflection from the ground not on the car.

No unusual sounds yet, but i have a feeling I'll hear some later on. But, I'm okay with that!

Next up will be mid pipe and race chip in a few months.

Nice & I thought your X3 M was gray. It's amazing how much the sun lights up the black paint in daylight. How much of a drop did the H&R spring provide... ? I heard it's about 1.2-1.5" compared to the standard 1" from the DINAN kit.

Nice! Looks much cleaner without the badges.

That's about right. Whatever it is, it looks good!

Poffman · 10-24-2021, 11:32 AM

Drove it! 500 miles in week 1. Inching towards that breakin service

bmwmdistrict · 10-25-2021, 09:49 PM

Ordered a Dinan axleback and picking up the RG Sport midpipe this week! Install ASAP.

Got a new specialty plate 😎.

Swapped to winter tires. Best part was when the tire shop said my "BMW X drive" was ready.

New gloss black trunk badge is like $40

SM2 · 10-26-2021, 04:53 PM

Just put winter tires on. I think the summers will need to be replaced.

Yes. I only paid $20 for the plastic dip and $175 for the wrap. I'll likely take the badge off. It also came with an X3 badge which I removed.
