No worried - here to help.

I got it locally on kijiji from some shop (they shipped to be locally too), i'm sure you can do the same for you in your area.

You can also buy on Ebay as well.

The light comes with the bmw logo (you can buy the M overlay that you insert into the light, literally its 2 seconds to remove bmw film and include the m-logo film)...
You take a flat head, pop your current light from underneath.

Disconnect the wire, use the same wire to connect new one and pop back in.

Ohhh, you need to buy a ///m overlay for it? I've been looking around and it looks like most of the ///m ones say that they don't fit the x3. Did you actually buy an individual overlay or did you buy one with the ///m on it and just swapped with the BMW logo?

The one that i bought came with the BMW logo and then they give you the overlay for ///M so you can swap it out if you like =)

These just arrived - but having a fitment issue with the passenger side one - might be damaged during shipping, will see.

Will be painted alpine white though - here is a sample if anyone wanted to leave them unpainted...(or close to black looking)

Very happy with the new upgrades:

Front driver and passenger windows tint completed to match rest of the car (30%)
Third brake light - overlay tint
Rear reflectors - overlay tint
Tail lights - light overlay tint

Some photos from today:











And this is a nice comparison from when i got her to now:

Front:
Blacked out grill
Black & White bmw emblem
Alpine white license plate holder + custom plate
Eyebrows



Rear:
Stuff done today + Black & white bmw emblem
Gloss black X3 badge
Alpine white license plate holder + custom plate


Next up:
Get the front signal bulbs into the silver stealth bulbs so we remove ALL orange
Debadge x3 35i on the side
Tire shine (tires look dull)
H&R Springs + spacers

They are not as dark as it shows in that photo..
Light output is virtually identical to before... here is positional lights - not even brake lights

I'm pretty sure they still sent me the wrong tints - as i asked for light but these are dark lol

Really disliked that my tires were so dull so I shined them up a bit for a photo.
Looks way better (sorry for the garage shots)

Mods just ordered:
20MM ECS Tuning spacers in the back
12.5 MM in the front
H&R Springs
Stay tuned for a nice stance

Painted the hubs black and the calipers midnight blue.

So much nicer

Can I ask where you got the vinyl emblems and the tail light overlays? Ive been thinking about doing both, especially since my rear emblem isn't in perfect shape. And by the way the vehicle is looking great, giving me some good ideas for mine.

Thanks I'm still debating whether i like the tail overlays... I definately dig the reflectors and the third brake light though.
Funny thing is they are "light smoke" tail's, even though they are quite dark.

You can get the emblem overlays anywhere honestly, ebay, etc.

Both of the products that you are asking for I purchased from Bimmian.com though.
The good thing is the overlays that come usually there are two of everything, so if one peels off you have a replacement.

(You get the steering wheel, front, back, engine and wheels)
I have actual black and white emblems on my wheels though.
