What did you do to your X3/X4 M today?

SupremeHustle · 07-10-2020, 05:38 PM

Hopefully this doesn't come off as a threadjacking, but I'm hoping someone can help me find a place in the Twin Cities where I can get a front lip, some side skirts, and powder coating on the wheels for my X4MC.

Much appreciated. You guys are the best.

Installed Autotechnik CF grill surrounds. Fitment was perfect and the original grills popped out easily for me. Guess I was lucky.

I took a few shots during installation. I will post a full shot later today.

Looks great, man! Was the heat gun prep work really necessary in the end or can I possibly skip it?

Upper side won't stick firmly with only 3M tape. The bottom side angled pretty hard, so if it isn't flattened, 3M won't adhere to the body enough. You might end up with using bond or silicone and need to hold it with duct tapes or any strong ones for days.

Final result. Personally I don't think any after market ones can beat the look and quality.

Side skirts look great, but you said they came off the G20? Isn't that the m340? They fit?!

They fit with a bit of modification, no cutting or grinding only bending with a heat gun.

Filled her up with some E85, running BM3 stg1 E30. The difference from stock is insane. It doesn't even feel like the same car.

Will Pwr · 07-11-2020, 11:51 AM

Washed the F97 today and this pic keeps reminding me that I really want the Sterckenn CF front lip to flow with the CF grills and mirrors that already on 🤣

Looking great, larsmin! My set just arrived from Amazon (lol). Can’t wait to have it installed. Thanks for sharing this creative mod!

I too was interested in these and posted on the G01 site and here. Can you give details of what is included in a "set"? Do I see 3 parts listed per side? Is that 1 piece for each front arch (L/R) and 2 pieces for the rear arches (L/R)? Thanks

I meant 1 piece for rear left (part #: 51777180929) and 1 piece for rear right (part #: 51777180930).
Total 2 pieces.

I was originally trying to get more info on the parts fitted to the Alpina XD3 which appears to have multiple pieces on front and rear arches. It is not clear to me whether these are BMW parts or specific only to Alpina. The schematic in the thread over on the G01 site shows 2 distinct parts that appear to fit towards the front and back of the rear arch. These are clearly BMW parts that look as if they are intended for different applications. Perhaps Aplina fits both parts to the rear arch and then adds another one of them to the front arch just for the hell of it. Looking forward to seeing what your order looks like. Can you take some pics off and on the car when they arrive? Thanks.

Great job on the creative modding! The install looks like they were designed for the F97.

Of course, I will post some images.
I wish I could get Alpina trims. I was also looking for them but couldn't get any info. I assume they are exclusively for Alpina and can be ordered through only their system not BMW.

Alternatively I thought of Hamann's slightly widened arches but was informed still in production period.
