From what I was told the bushings are slighly different.

Let me know if it fits though.

If you drive like a normal human yes it’s fine like any rwd car. If your goal is to drift and do burnouts then this is it. Very tail happy but I’m also stage 2+ e40

Have you tried launching it in awd sport or a wot run from a stop? Wonder if you'll get wheel spin..

Haven’t had the chance yet. I am interested as well as I believe they are only allowing 20% max torque to the front in that mode.

I don’t understand this. If you have the FEMTO unlock then why the discrepancy?

TCU also has advanced encryption from what I understand.

I already ordered the X-Delete (I jumped the gun) lol, I will have to wait until they update it.

I was referring to the Vargas Diff Bolt insert, if it works I will get it too.

Well I don't know how much different the bushing design is between m40i/m...but I'm gonna just shove it in...lol. lube or no lube it's gonna go.

I'm gonna be going to Punta Cana in 2 weeks and leave the car at the shop and have all these parts installed this time. It would take me too long to find free time to install it myself.. I will ask them to take pics, this way if my rear end falls out I can blame them...lol.

I found the x3m parts local to me at a shop that had a doner X4m. Paid 150 for the sways and he threw the brace in for free. I bought all new hardware from FCP(swaybar) and BMWpartspro(midbrace).

Here is the link where all the parts # from BMW, but its not cheap. When I priced it out new it was like over 700 just for the midbrace and hardware.

Best bet is a junk yard/wrecker tbh.

Haha no I have not. Don't really feel like dropping the sub frames. I do have the mid chassis brace though

[TJay74]

Yikes, they are proud of this update. $219 just for the xDelete for a X3M.

wtf !

Don't do it! This is larly... bmw really don't us to fuck with this.. since when the sway bar replacement got this larly ???!!!





If you can't read the entire steps then that's bmw way of saying don't fuck with it.

And the main work steps are, you can count with one hand...







As a contrast, e46 and e39, damn, those were the good old, simpler times...






Also, how did we end up going down this alternate path from discussing xdelete...
