X4M Comp YTD Journal

Sayzar · 02-05-2023, 08:49 PM

One week of owning this 2020 X4M competition. I wanted a F80 (not a fan of the G80) but this beauty fell in my lap with a deal I could not pass. I also have a F36 (photo at the bottom) and plan to modify this one.

Congrats on the new ride! You're gonna love it

On a side note,MetLife Stadium...I welded thousands of feet of 3"&4"culinary gas pipe inside that building back in '08/'09 when it went up.

congrats!!!!!

Just got my MSS springs, I can't wait to have them installed and kill the wheel gap and improve the ride quality. What I've done so far -
Installed 12mm H&R spacer all around, thanks @r33_RGSport
IND reflector color match delete.
20% Xpel ceramic tint for the font windows.

Little but slowly she's coming together.

Looks awesome - if you need a shop to do the install the work on the MSSs you should consider BimmerHub in Westfield NJ. they specialize exclusively in BMWs.

I initially had my MSSs installed by non BMW mechanic and he screwed up the front install pretty badly. Had to have Bimmerhub redo the fronts. Pricey - but they do excellent work.

Awesome car. Any time X4MC falls into anyone's lap, the divine intervention can be felt.

Metlife stadium: home of NY Jets (and may be Aaron Rogers?)

They quoted me at $1550 way over price for installing springs. Other reputable shops that only specialize in BMW and other german/exotics came in way under than Bimmerhub.

Thank you, I'm a Giants fan, but Aaron would be a great for the Jets.

Great - keep us posted on how install goes.

The MSSs are a nice upgrade…

It was a 50/50 chance ...

After debating for months on what route to take for lowering my X4MC, I finally pulled the trigger and lowered it with MSS adjustable springs. The ride quality is much more comfortable and not as stiff as stock when going over bumps. I went with r33_RGSport recommendation front 10mm and rear 25mm tread count which is 1.25' after settling.

This photo was taken day 2 after lowering it. It's been 2 week since installing the springs and they have settle pretty nicely.

Took a quick photo after leaving the mall. Debating on getting a lip or mid-pipe.

Sayzar · 06-26-2023, 08:37 PM

I believe the springs have settle, I feel that the car is softer and not as harsh/stiff as the stock springs. Planing on the get Mod

this car thing never stops.

Awesome pictures of the car. Can I ask where you got the springs installed and how much the labor cost you?

I paid $475.King's Automotive in Bloomingdale, New Jersey. the owner Jackie did the installation. Good and honest shop.

Sayzar · 08-16-2023, 08:39 PM

Added blacked out IND emblems, waited 10 week for them as these are made custom per order. Very happy with the clean look.

Sayzar · 04-07-2024, 08:03 PM

Finally after a month and 1/2 I got around to installing a carbon fiber lip and a single mid-pipe. I truly love the way the car looks and sounds. Wheels are up next on list. Sorry for the dirty car, she needs a bath.

Sayzar Looks great man. I use to have a DGM (Dark Graphite Metallic) X3 M, so I know first hand how difficult it is to take nice photos of that dark color.
