How's the suspension mod , I was just driving hard the other day and it seemed a little body rollie but it is a cross over , LMAO,

I haven't personally installed any of the lower body braces... Yet.

Just from my experience during spirited driving, I'd like to eliminate a little bit of the sway when going through bends.

They are among the many things on my To Do List of mods. Most likely one of the next few to be done but not just yet.

I just bought my new rotors/pads/sensors to do a full brake change for the spring season, so I don't necessarily have an excess of funds left for anything right now. Gotta prioritize which goodies will be of the most benefit.

While I love to go fast, it's always nice to be able to stop on dime.

You got some good cardio too, detailing the entire X3 gets the heart pumping and the blood moving, it's worth it on many levels. Then afterward there's the appearance and more walking as you view the X3 from multiple angles and admire the finished product. Great workout!

Went to Walmart today to look at some motor oil. I park behind the store because that is where all the cameras are, never had my car messed with (dinged) or have been asked by Wally to move it.

Installed my new Dorch DS25 350 today before the turbo upgrade on monday.

It looks really good. Is that the black satin finish? Are you using performance tires or all seasons, I can't identify the tires. I got mine with summer tires so I am exploring options trying to get ideas before winter. I might consider just swapping rubber or I might go with full set. I have the space to store them.

Antracite finish wrapped with michelin ps4s.

My winters here aren't THAT bad so I just have contis dws06+ all season on my stock 699m wheels for that time frame.

Got it, my search will continue. Are those Michelin 20s?

Thanks, they look really good. Enjoy.

I've been missing Android Auto so I bought a used iPhone 7 off Ebay for $65 bucks, tossed a $10/month Tello data only sim in and voila - I now have Carplay with Spotify, Waze and Google maps!

My android phone is now setup as "secondary phone" for calls and such and everything just seamlessly works. Very satisfying and oem solution for much less than the cost of one of those android mmi boxes.

You can also consider forwarding calls from your Android phone to VOIP services, and you can receive and make calls too.
