That does look much better. I wonder how similar the pre-LCI units look.

Was loading supplies outside a store today, and someone literally stopped mid-stride to come over to share how much they liked my wife's LCI and the color. May have sold another BMW today (or actually, they sell themselves)...
An image getting ready for another trip, and then one from the FL Panhandle (about 30 mi NNE of Cat 5 Hurricane Michael's landfall back in Oct 2018) with the sun's angle highlighting the new carbon steering wheel trim. |

I have noticed that quite a few people will come up and say how nice the car is, or enquire what model it is. As there aren’t that many on the roads, (haven’t seen another one in the flesh), people are quite impressed. Even more so when its the wife driving it
I have to say that steering wheel looks the dogs Bo***x. I’m tempted to get one later. Just a bit wary of removing the air bag.

And apologies I didn't share info on the CFRP trim install in my earlier post. I simply provided my SA with a few of danniexi's images and the part numbers and they did everything - ordered the parts, scheduled the 1 hr svc appt, and did the install while I enjoyed a few cups of fresh-brewed coffee and breakfast bars in their lounge. Suspect if you texted your SA with the image I put together in post #194 they can make it happen pretty easily - https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showp...&postcount=194 It was a few hundred or so dollars more that route c/w DIY, but worth every penny as the air bag is off-limits for me as well.

Four of the five runs were solid 11.8xxs with one outlier at 12.012 in Lane 1 where I had to drive through water draining from the water box. Best was 11.818s at 117.78 mph with a 0-60 ft 1.841s. As forza1976 has shared in the past (and others), the wheels were spinning even in 2nd transition. It felt strong throughout and TBH thought for sure it was in the 11.6xxs range. Disappointed I wasn't able to formally confirm breaking the 11.6s barrier, but it will, no doubt. The negative influences were the DA, tires with 10,600 miles wear, non-maximized octane, still trying to figure out the tire psi, and long wait times between runs (1-1/2 hours) so are engine/oils temps at ideal LC conditions... All the data will be posted in the 1/4 mile thread for those interested in the details - https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1444613 . Have to also share that a number of Drivers (and even a few Spectators in the Stands who came to the Staging Lanes) commented how much they enjoyed watching her run, and couldn't believe the times 'for a truck'. Fun times in the F97! |

you could def hit better numbers if you can get that 60ft down. clearly traction limited.
impressive numbers nonetheless!! well done!

Thanks. Still trying to figure out tire psi after 30 runs at the Strip. Unfortunately it's usually so busy there aren't many chances to vary it, and the DA/air temps have varied between events so hard to find a pattern yet. I'll keep trying. Looking at the launches from the Photographer's images the rear is def squatting with the front lifting so I'm not sure how much front psi matters (at least through the first 200 feet or so) despite xDr.

At least both of you are on high quality top notch PS4S rubber.

My dealer has said that the carbon steering wheel won’t fit my car because and I quote:
“Because you have the active cruise control function where you have an led strip on the steering wheel, this would not be an option on your car unfortunately”. Is that right? Or is the parts guy talking out of his a**e?

Cheers. Mine is identical. The service team have agreed to order it and see if it fits. They just said the part number wasn’t listed against my model.

It makes me sick that I did not have those rims on my 2020 X3MC. If you ever get tired of them you know who to contact for a trade to the V spokes!

You can just send the composite image I put together ( https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showp...&postcount=194 ) to your SA, and they'll order, schedule the appt and do the install. That's what I did, and it was worth the few hundred dollars more to me. If you wish to DIY like danniexi did, he ordered his from eBay early on ( https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showp...9&postcount=63 ), but later indicated they should also be available by Forum sponsored vendors bmwpartspros and getbmwparts ( https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showp...1&postcount=67 ).

Well I had the steering wheel trim fitted. It has made the horn pretty hard to press to make a sound, but it fitted. Technician just reckoned it’s a little thicker than the original trim, hence the need to really push the horn to get it to sound.
