Sick!

Looking forward to some in/out car driving clips and dragy numbers
Wish me luck on dragy number.
I don't have an open back road to run dragy.
But, will have dyno session on Friday.

Looks great. Window tint is a must on this car (all cars for that matter).

What did you do with the brand new OEM tires?

Moved the 265 stock rears to the front wheels. (Saving the 255’s for the lease return in 24 months) and bought 295’s for the rear.

Changed out to gloss black grills and black side vents in my X4M today. Grills were straightforward. Followed instructions from the videos. The vents were a bit more tricky. Followed steps from other cars. Couldn't find any for X4M or X3M.

The vent is actually held in place by an adhesive also. Would recommend a heating gun or blow dryer to help loosen it. Also realized vent has two parts. Other side came out easier with the knowledge gained on one side and no damage was done.

Tools of the trade pictured also.

Got the grills, vents and black X4M badge from Cole's retail.

What height do you have on 295's?

Ohhh you did already what i want to do in mines, paint the rims all black!!!!

Did you use the same color as the factory painted glossy black inside the rims (do you know the color number or the name) or did you use another glossy black?

Hi there from Russia! )

Guys, do you think changing rear tyres to 295 is safe for the drivetrain?
In my opinion this is a big enough change for a significant increase in the load on gear box. Especially on launch control start.
What do you think about that? Is anybody talk to BMW dealers about this mod (warranty on the drivetrain)?

On the stock rims, I think you're good! (now if you increased the rims to 11"+, might have to re-evaluate!)
No problems, since I made the change to the 295 rears.
