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

jazredgt · 01-22-2024, 08:27 PM

Well currently collecting parts. Just bought an MHD Flex Analyzer kit, MSS Springs used and Einhorn bushing. Taking it to the dealer on Friday to get the exhaust looked at. Sounds like I have the dreaded drone during idle that most X3M non-comp have. Hopefully they replace it. I'm going to swap the exhaust come June when it's out of warranty anyway but still. LoL

This is the one I went with. Looks like it's NLA now though :-/

Same one I have I believe.

Wrapped the chrome on the front grills and the side vents in gloss black. My first time wrapping anything and probably my last time. 😅 I have a new found appreciation for people who do that for a living. The level of concentration, attention to detail and just pure craftsmanship required, is intense in my opinion.

luckylingy · 01-25-2024, 06:48 PM

Detailed it myself after PDI, prior to scheduling delivery. (Helps that I work at the dealership.). A bit more to do this weekend after-hours, whereupon I'll post pics. Pleased with how the (mostly cosmetic) mods have personalized it to my liking/vision.

Installed the maxton v1 side skirts today to compliment the ACS front splitter.

ttx3m · 02-04-2024, 06:43 PM

Looks great pyo !

I did the same and also installed side skirts this weekend…RW Carbon to match the lip and rear valance.

Cmond · 02-05-2024, 09:55 AM

Keeping the Brooklyn Grey posts together- finally got some nice dark tint.

KW V3s arriving today, and AA EL Midpipe on order.

ttx3m · 02-05-2024, 02:27 PM

Nice! Wish I could justify the KWs but keeping this car mostly stock. They look so good lowered. Maybe some day beyond my warranty but that’s a long ways away!

For the ceramic dials/knobs on the radio and climate, ended up replacing the whole unit? Or, just these dials/knobs? The knobs on the climate are easy. But the volume dial?

I think you've inspired me to finally do the CF center console mod. Look high quality & the fit / finish is good too. Do you remember how long it took to arrive to you from China... ?

I’m very pleased with it, should come from BMW this way.
Guess it’s part of the separation between X3/X4 and X5/X6??

The seller was great and packed it very well… Took about 2 weeks to get to me.
It’s an easy mod… only about 15 minutes.
