X3/ X4 M40i are great cars
Only I hate those M sport front bumpers, I would retrofitted them with X3M/ X4M bumpers.

Of course it is all personal preference...but since you mentioned it...I would certainly consider removing those m performance decals.

Love the shots and the color...as others have said this is now a color on my list for the future.

Congrats on making the front page

You've come a long way from our e46fanatics days =)

Love the wheels. I had a X3 M40 loaner once and it was way more rowdy than I was expecting with the pops and bangs.

Thank you!!! The Ceramic Pro was a great investment. You can see the sheeting action in the rain pictures. It literally sweats off the car, haha. You'll love it!

It took me a few moments to appreciate the aftermarket wheels. Nice! I already read your response about OEM wheels. Glad you are keeping them. I like this OEM design as well.

What ceramic coating did you select? One of the best non performance modifications.
Ahh man, thank you so much for your kind words. I hope to see you on the road in SoCal as well! Def honk if you see me! I went with Ceramic Pro for the coating. I had opticoat in the past and it was great but I wanted to give CP a try based on the reviews. So far, I'm very happy with it. Like in the previous reply, check out the rain pictures. The water literally slides off as if it's sweating!

How does the suspension react with adaptive and lowering? Is it still softer on comfort mode?
Thanks so much, Emmanuel! Appreciate it bud! Unfortunately, I don't have adaptive. That's the one feature I wish I had but one of the dealers had one with adaptive on the lot. I hear the adaptive will help counter the extra stiffness of the springs well. I'd give it a go!

The X3M bumpers look mean and I love it. There's a carbon front lip in the works with Autotecknic so it'll make the front end look more aggressive and slick! Can't wait!!!

Thanks for your feedback. The decals are a little louder than I'd normally go, but for some reason, I really love it, especially in person! Really appreciate your comments on the pics. You will love this blue. It's a real stunner!

Oh man, ALAN!!! What's up buddy!!! Been a long time! I see you're over there on the F80 side. Your car looks incredible!!!! Love it! Yeah, the M40i is way more fun than you'd expect and I love how you can be a complete hooligan in sport plus mode with the pops. Man, so good hearing from you. Hope to see you around the forums, bud!

good job.

looks really good.

i like the side decals and a big fan on all BMWs - however for me personlly think they look better if you could get them without the 'm performance' lettering.

Thanks so much! A more subtle decal would look great too or maybe even an all black one, but I love that it's OEM so I really like the M Performance lettering. Thanks!

Nice! I'll keep an eye out for your car whenever I'm there. I usually go to New Century for service tho as my rep takes really great care of me. See you around!

So weird. I just noticed I never take photos from the rear straight on. I'll definitely take some pics from that angle and post. But for now, here is one that's as close to rear straight on as possible. The stance is definitely wide!!!
