Individual X3M Competition (Velvet Blue and Tartufo) has arrived…

440i6MT · 08-26-2022, 03:32 PM

Holy lord.

First individual/unique BMW color I've seen in the last two years that I've genuinely liked.

Amazing!

Txgringo · 08-26-2022, 03:54 PM

The color and the stance are spot on!

TX3M · 08-26-2022, 04:04 PM

Looks amazing, congrats!

nyc_dude · 08-26-2022, 04:55 PM

BMW Individual San Marino Blue and Velvet Blue are the Holy Grail colors on the BMW F8X M3/M4, so it looks fantastic on your X3M....plus the 50th Anniversary Roundels.

I think Marina Bay Blue is also a very nice option for the the BMW X3M and X5M.

Gotta go full Eventuri Engine Bay with the M-Performance Carbon Fiber Strut Tower Brace. Your black billet braces are very nice. The lightening holes are on the side, but would look better on top. See the new BMW G8X M3/M4 aftermarket billet strut tower braces.

Cheers

On the X3M, they are made from steel. On the Non-Ms, they are crushed aluminum tubes. Ours are going to be CNC'd from billet aluminum, and anodized black. So a little weight savings on the X3M version. The X3 M40i one from crushed aluminum is rather light, so it would be a visual improvement.

Thoughts?

Looks Great!!
Sign me up.

Beautiful!!!!! VB is one of a kind. I picked up mine in a G80 in the last month, and the color is amazing.

David3290 · 08-27-2022, 07:13 AM

knali8 · 08-27-2022, 07:35 AM

First I've seen of this colour on the x3m. Nice choice!

Wes335XI · 08-27-2022, 08:52 AM

Beautiful car. Are there any interior pics?

🔥🔥🔥

Ramos · 08-27-2022, 03:27 PM

Beautiful! But since you say you don't need the extra space, why not an M3?

lovesm3s · 08-27-2022, 04:55 PM

excellent combo!

haven't seen this color since the days of the e39

ando · 08-28-2022, 08:25 AM

Congrats. Velvet Blue is probably my favorite color and looks great on your X3 M!

ZTZ1010 · 08-28-2022, 08:43 AM

Stunning. By far one of the best individual F97s around

Vigilant · 08-28-2022, 02:09 PM

Good choice on tartufo interior. Excellent color combo.

X3MM3335xitasticalmagic · 08-28-2022, 04:47 PM

I've got a '21 Comp and wondering if I can just tune my S58 for more torque safely or the new forged guts on the '22 and newer are necessary...

hersh67 · 08-28-2022, 06:34 PM

Don't forget to tint those front windows

mattpete13 · 08-29-2022, 06:18 AM

How is the handling on the KW?

Long debated upgrading to X3MC from my e91, and a solid suspension upgrade would be my number one mod.

Beautiful color too. Absolutely love it.
