My 2017 X4 M40i upgrades so far!!! WITH PICS...Wheels, Spacers, Drop!!!
Finally got some things done this week.
Upgrades so far include: 1. H&R springs with about 1.5" drop. The back hasn't yet settled down completely so I expect it to drop more. 2. 20" Niche Essen wheels. 4. Nitto nt555 G2 tires. 4. 20 mm spacers front and back. The 20 mm in front looks good but I get rubbing when backing up only and turning the wheel, like when backing out of a parking spot. Will probably put the 15 mm spacers again on the front. Had no rubbing issues with those. 5. JB+ for now. Either Bootmod3 or MHD flash tune in future once I get downpipes. 6. Have also done some coding to the car with Carly BMW software. 7. Soon to come....rear wing spoiler, blue matching calipers, tinted windows and quad exhausts once i find a rear diffuser i like. Hopefully these pics help others to see how it looks with the drop and spacers. Could not find any good pictures online for the X4 M40i showing these changes. THESE WERE THE ORIGINAL WHEELS.

Could use some meatier tires but it looks pretty good. Have you considered the performance exhaust instead? What changes did you make with Carly? Was thinking of buying it.

I believe it comes with it when the model is M40i. Even the new video just released of the X3 has them. They zoomed in on the new vent and it was there.

As far as coding with Carly, i removed warning messages that you get when you start up the vehicle and when you back up. I changed the BMW Connect start up animation with the "M sport" animation. Also enabled rear lights on with daytime running lights. This way when its dark or cloudy or foggy i can still drive with my angel eyes on but rear lights will be on as well for visibility. Also coded mirrors to fold when i lock car. Unfortunately could not code video in motion as it does not work on newer bmw software. Coded few other minor things like trunk lock with keyfob, etc

I can bet you car is much faster with downpipe ONLY vs jb+ the way you have it now lol. I tested this a few months ago when my buddy (many not on forums) locally with X4 M40i was well wanted to see difference DP on car vs his JB+ stock-DP. Also, sprint booster is meant for older cars not ours that has extra power from factory and throwing boost in our cars (or tricking it) won't be wise if u want a healthy car.
