I have the same feelings with mine. I'm tempted to buy a set of cerium grills. Then swap out the slats from the original grill so that the final product has a cerium surround and black slats

It's nice to see some non M40i here. I feel less left out for having a 20i on order.

Definitely I-40 in New Mexico...dont remember the exact location but Im sure you're right. That was in the middle of a 3900 mile road trip (the latter 2900 miles being the first 2900 in the X3).

I just can't wrap my head around the amount of online hate this car gets. I understand that the category(SAC) is fairly new and will take some time to catch on but I think this car is well sculpted and quite stylish.

Oh well, was bored last night and just had a wash.

Try using Ultima Pro....It's EASY to apply and it ROCKS. REALLY does. Took me all of 10 min to apply to the whole car. No joke

Totally worth it

Totally agree, but I'm biased. Have you had any issues getting pulled over with the tint in Cali? I'll be moving to LA in the next few months from Texas and was wondering how much grief I'll get.

I had it tinted to try and match the rears and was told by BMW that they were 30% which after a bit of research here, I found out was inaccurate. Oh well, turned out okay albeit a slightly different shade of tint and a bit lighter than the rest.

I live in the uptightest town in OC and I've never gotten any grief from the po-po. My F30 windows were even darker and no hassles in 3 years of owning it. I don't even have a front plate on the G02 and didn't have one on the F30 or my Mini. No issues whatsoever.

I also really like the look of the X4 and prefer it to the X3. Only issue that I have with the X4 M40i over the X3 M40i is the non-M steering wheel.

You removed one a$s shot that I really liked. You can tell that you are standing in your pics.. I like ones that are taken from a little higher elevation, I think they give a better representation imo.

I think the X4 is a stunning car in the metal. Much more so than photos suggests. I have seen it in red and white and was smittened. It makes the X3 look ordinary and utilitarian. The only reason I haven’t ordered the G02 is because our local roads are rough and even with adaptive dampers, the G02 rides firmer then the G01. On the flip side, it’s more fun to drive.

Two weeks ago I drove an M-Sport Plus G01 on 21 inch alloys and was surprised by how comfortable it was but considerably less engaging/connected than my F25 on standard suspension. I am glad I specced adaptive dampers on my G01 as the sport setting is firmer and more planted than M-Sport suspension.

Finally got the wheels powdercoated gloss black and installed my black grilles from getBMWparts.com. I think the dark look of the car is starting to come together nicely. Sorry it's so filthy. Both cars are due for a wash this weekend, weather permitting!

The 718s look great in black! Any suspension plans in the future?
