Did two runs at the Strip yesterday but cut the day short with temps in the 80s, DAs >+1500, direct headwind of 10mph, and difficulty with traction (which even those with drag radials and motorcycles mentioned as well). Slips weren't in my top 8 but always a great time out there. The F97 still brings a lot of interest from other Drivers and Spectators in disbelief at how fast it can run (even bone stock like mine). I can imagine the comments those with mods hear when running in the 10s...

So much easier washing the car after the ceramic coating. Highly recommend if anyone is debating getting it done for their X3's!

I applied the graphene coating on my previous vehicle and I have to agree. Keeping it clean was much easier.

Thanks. The more I go to these 'All Welcome Test-n-Tune' events the better I appreciate what a great pastime it is for Enthusiasts. Would encourage those who've never experienced a day at a Strip to give it a try some time, esp for the All Welcome sessions where, at least in my experience, everyone is remarkably friendly and helpful.

I have seen that car parked at that same Starbucks parking lot as well. Ditto on the questions.

How do these cars cope with Las Vegas summer temperatures of above 100 degrees?

I'm assuming you have the Carbon pack (front side carbon splitters) and fitted an after market carbon front center splitter to complement the look here? If so can you share where you purchased it from please? I'd love to have the same on mine

The X4MC's best angle. Mine is less than a week old and I can't help but look back every time I park it and walk away.
