What did you do to your G01 X3 today?

msg617 · 06-19-2020, 04:55 PM

Any good examples of a carbon black G01 with mods? Most of the examples I'm finding are other colors. I have CB so looking for inspiration

Looks great! Love how the red mixes with the black and blue!

Mine is carbon black. Should find pictures of it in the forum somewhere

Gave it a good handwash and then applied some wax. First layer yesterday with Soft99 fusso coat 12 month wax.
Second layer today with Soft99 Kiwami extreme wet gloss wax.
Shine is awesome and application was easy.

Did removing the shutters trip a CEL?

No brotha I don't think he will get the error. Shutters removed but mechanism still rotating.
Sometimes i also thinking to remove it...but the struts are too skinny..and the car too bulky.... I don't know...

No. As stated above the motor is still there and functioning, there just isn't any slats for it to open or close.

Looking good there buddy.

Did my guide help you out in terms of removing them?

Refit isn't straight forward due to getting all the clips to re-align but looks beaut once done. despite a few swear words!!

It most definitely helped. It looks so much better.

Brand new to the forum here, love it already. Bought a new set of wheels this week from a fellow forum member. And about a month ago I had a Ceramic Coating treatment done by Ceramic Pro, as well as powder coated the wheels. Really like the results. New wheels should get in end of next week. First two photos are before Ceramic Pro Gold Package.

BlackVue battery for parking mode. I had the BlackVue controller that hooked up to power at all times with time/voltage cut offs but it would still set battery management notifications. BMWs are too smart.

Redid all my wiring and hooked into the back of the BDC. Mounted under the foot well panel out of the way. The photo makes it look like the battery is huge but it's not in the way at all when getting in the car or sitting down with legs forward

What does the battery enable you to do?

It runs the dash cam to enable parking mode without using the vehicle electrical system. Only charges when the vehicle is on. Once depleted the dash cam turns off

Also patched a nail in my tire.

MidnightRiderM · 06-29-2020, 02:41 PM

Debadged the X3. Not sure if I want to also remove the 40i or not.

Also: Was thinking about ordering this: https://ind-distribution.com/collect...em-gloss-black

Thought about just adding the X3M and not the competition part... probably won't do that though.

A lot of us will probably flame you for putting a X3M badge on a X3 M40i. How about staying true to the car and just going for a black M40i badge? I got mine from IND . . .

Don't really care about being "flamed" by people I don't even know but Yeah the black M40i badges seem best but for some reason they're more expensive then the X3M badges
