Looks beautiful, great job!!

Where did you get the CF rear wheel arch pieces, guessing they are the M Performance tailfins, so from M Performance?
Did you tint your taillights, they look darkened a bit...??

Hey man, they're for the autotecknic splash guards for x3m. They could be installed on the x4 by making a hole in the fender where the clip that'll hold it in place (along with double-sided tape) goes. There is a machine that shoots clips like a nail gun.
Yeah M performance tailfins. It's oem in europe. https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...b3J5IFBhZ2U%3D
Yeah it's the lightest vinyl wrap, like a light smoke. I did it be because the color was overall darker and the lights stood out too much.

I tinted my tails too, just didn't like the bright red with the TRM color.
May look at the Tail Fins, they look pretty cool... assume they are just taped on the glass?

Thanks!

Yeah, it's a glue that comes with it. There is no removing it, but it looks very natural. No one knew it was an add-on

Thanks man. I had it as low as it could go without riding on the bump stops.
