About $100-$150. You can find them on eBay or through a salvage parts seller. I lucked out and found one locally so I got a deal. Check around and you can find one. Just make sure to get one with the heated seat buttons if your X3 is equipped with them.

Changed the oil today. Some of the other things I have done. New Android 12.3" infotainment screen. A complete up grade to sound system with the a Bavsound stage 1, woofers under the seats as well as there Revance Amp. Had summer set of wheels powder coated. The color is called Highper Cady. I guess it's a GM color. Blacked out the x3 and 28i and repositioned them on the fender and hatch. Then removed the exhaust tips and had them painted red. Swapped out the grills with new black ones and painted the 2 supports under them red like the exhaust tips. Had the front windows as well as the tail lights tinted, then upgraded to the brightest LED's available. By going with the brighter LED's I stay in code with the state inspection service.

Been jealous of how nice de-chromed black kidneys look on the X3 pics posted, so ordered myself a set off ebay. Arrived today but ebay being ebay, one of them had a broken tab though a blob of epoxy should sort that out.
Also got some gloss black mirror caps to tie it all together against the Alpinweiss for that Stormtrooper look. |

For the mirror caps I suggest a panel puller/plastic wedge thing. For the Grilles you really do just have to pull them off with a good grip/jolt. |

Thanks for the tip on the grill, I'll be changing that over tomorrow. Sounds like I'm not to be shy with it. |

Did a suspension refresh:
FRONTS = thrust arms, wish bone, ball joints REARS = wish bone, toe arm, guide rod Car handles like brand new. So much more planted / firm / steady now. No more wandering and going over speed bumps and pot holes is no longer a butt clenching endeavor. For those of you who want a kit: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...31106787673kt1 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...-33306786991kt (I pieced together my own kit. I simply used FCP's kit for inspiration) |

Did fitting 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers effect the handling in anyway? I have the same wheels and am on the fence about spacing due to bump steer on the front and the effect on damping all around due to extra leverage. Also the rear wheel won't follow the same line of motion with the multi link setup and spacers fitted. Does this effect daily/fast road driving? Any tramlining on the highway? Anything different at all other than the obvious better looks? BTW I created an account just to ask this as I haven't seen another 622m wheel setup spaced like yours... |

However, it did not improve handling for those who like to drive fast with spirited turning involved. For me a non issue, as its mostly a simple dd with no race track visits I did not notice any neg effects on tram lining If anything you can try 20mm fronts and 20mm rear and see how you like it. Spacers can easily be returned on amazon if it is not to your liking Quote:

Was getting CEL quite frequently with error code 104301 - absolute pressure sensor coupled with occasional start up stall (more prevalent in the winter)
I pulled out the MAP sensor and used cleaner spray, also sprayed CRC GDI IVD - Intake Valve and Turbo Cleaner into the MAP sensor hole while wife was holding the revs. Error hasn’t come back yet. Could be placebo effect but car seems to run smoother as well. |

I deliberately stood outside in the crisp near-autumn air to bask to the tune of that sweet N55 M sport exhaust when the flap opens as my wife drove off.
I bought her a cooler car than me. Added a visual for….well, visual. Feast ya eyes. I’m convinced the xDrive35i is the precursor X3M. |

2015 x3 28i, xdrive… Preventive Maint…decided to do the Timing Chain overhaul…
Guides intact… chain noticeably stretched… Vehicle has 145,000 babied km…oil changes every 10,000km. Initial thoughts, flimsy chain, found in many BMWs and just not robust enough. I think its the chain skip and immediate aftermath, destroying the guides… not the other way around in the first instance… Just a thought…but definitely the source of increased rattle: |

Thanks for replying, when you say it did not improve handling in corners do you mean it made it worse or no difference? Did it have more body roll? Did the steering become heavier? Any change in tyre wear rate and pattern? I'm on the standard msport suspension and am waiting for a set of 4 15mm spacers to come through the post. Will put pictures up once its all installed but probably won't be for a while yet. I have the notorious steering rack knock that needs fixing first with the new thrust piece from BMW. |
