Who ever thinking to do that at home, dont even think....just do it. I picked hot day its 88F outside+ hairdryer and IND install kit. Its stick out so easy. Remove residue with fingers, blowing hot air on it...other little with automotive goo gone. (Wash it and polish with Meguiars scratch X2.0.) done !

Ok so I decided to go with stock locations. Don’t ask me why please., i spend 2 hours of thinking.
Upper right corner just m40i (without x3) is a great location (M-style template)....... but you loosing that widespread back look and im not kidding...it become more wagon look from the back. (Maybe aggressive diffuser will fix that visual emptiness). And its 2019/20 template.
BTW IND quality is oem quality.

I just learned today auto Start Stop was off no matter how many times I stopped or restarted the car. Only thing I can think of is the AC was on.

17mm spacers in the front and nothing in the rear. They are aftermarket wheels and I went with 20x9.5 vs the stock 19x8.5 the car came with. I actually just traded it in this past weekend.

I did. I bought an m3. I got a great deal on it and also got more than I thought I would for my X3. I am going to miss the X3, it was such a fun car. It's a little more cramped in the back seat of the m3 with two car seats, but it works. I am going to stick around here in the X3 forum. I enjoyed participating in here and talking to all of you guys.

I didn't realize how much stuff I had bought for the X3 until I started taking it all off right before I traded it in. A lot of it is still left. I posted everything in the classified section.
