Happy new owner w/ a question! (Photos)

rondeeezy · 07-03-2022, 05:41 PM

Here’s my ‘19 sDrive30i w/ CPO, MSport Pkg, Fiona Red interior & 699M wheels.
Already did the coding & black grill as well as transfer over my bootmod3.

I’m learning that the H&R springs or any type of suspension is all for the M40i or xDrive only. Any sDrive owners lowered theirs or know if the H&Rs work?

Thanks!

rondeeezy, welcome to the family! I'm sorry that I can't help you with your question. I have the H&R springs, but they're on my X4 M40i.

But more important - do you know that you have some sort of unicorn X3? The upgraded merino leather interiors like your Fiona Red were never offered on US X3s! Merino was (and I think is) offered on Canadian X3s, but in the US, it was an option only on MY19 and MY20 X4s. I got an X4 just because I wanted the Fiona Red interior. I have to wonder whether your car started life in Canada? Bizarre. Celebrate your exclusivity!

EDIT: Here's a link to the 2019 US X3 Order Guide.

Yeah, I was startled by his beautiful interior as well...

Thanks Hinckley! Bummer, hopefully someone is able to chime in eventually.

I definitely did not know this! That’s awesome news lol. My only criteria for looking was the msport package with white paint & I came across this beauty. Nabbed it the same day!

Curious on your thoughts about bootmod3 on the 30i. Big difference? Worth it? Am I missing the boat by having not done it yet?

I mean, it’s alright. It’s nothing like the difference I felt with the F80.
I only drove the 30i for 2 days before I did stage 1 bootmod3. It’s definitely peppy and I can feel when the turbo kicks.

Would much rather have it lowered a bit though!
