What did you do to your G01 X3 today?

Supa Koopa · 09-04-2019, 08:13 AM

So I gave it a bit of a wash, bit of a polish and then ceramic coated it with CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0.

One in the sun, one from the top and one in the shade later on.

I've been driving this tank of gas in eco pro just to see what kind of mileage I get. Today, while getting on the freeway I noticed a suped up Genesis coming up behind me then drove on the shoulder to overtake me. I hit the gas but the Genesis easily passed me. It did not feel good. Eco pro. Never again.

Had the mirrors wrapped in gloss black. Not a huge fan of the look of vinyl but I much prefer it to the cerium grey.

Great looking wheels! What size rims and/or spacers? What model are the wheels. Very nice looking.

Actually very interested in knowing this myself. I want to beef up the skinny 245s into 265 or so.

Lenny - Nice shine! What ceramic did you use? Did you do it? Was the process rigorous and about how long did it take? Thanks.

Bought a BMW executive demo 2018 30i model with M package and others and love it just a few days ago. Great size/type of car for city here in Chicago.

Today, installed the patch that got from guy on eBay to use full screen carplay - now love it even more. Carplay is awesome on iOS 13 now and its great to jump in car, and have it launch wireless and take up that nice wide screen fully now.

Take care!

Hit it is not enough. A kick down pass the bottom of the accelerator click, and perhaps also a quick gear lever-to-the-left jerk, and then I'm usually happy enough in those moments..

/n - only driving eco pro on long trips with the family

Installed 15mm spacers back on the car. Warranty repair on a leaking axle was done, so i took them off prior to service.

Hey 12v, are your black grilles gloss or matte? I've been wondering which way to go for my incoming AW X4.

animal.style · 09-08-2019, 08:32 PM

Swapped out the cerium side vents for gloss black (thanks IND!). Looks so much better! But honestly I think it looked even better with no vent installed...a little like the X5. Reflector delete is likely next. I was planning to leave the mirror caps and boomerangs alone, but the more I delete the more I want to delete those too.

The reflector delete will look so good!
