What did you do to your G01 X3 today?

HollyM · 06-01-2019, 03:08 PM

Today, I used my Adams' foam gun for the first time. I've only hand-washed (2-bucket method) my '19 Sapphire Black M40i since I took delivery, but this foam gun makes expert cleaning all the easier! Completely in love with it. I've had the vehicle nine months and I'm proud to say no swirl marks exist

I have the dimming on my '19 with 50% tint on the driver and passenger side windows. There is a thread somewhere with discussion on whether or not you can fix the problem with coding.

I'm gonna try to seach the forum to see if I can find it. Thanks for the heads up.

Did a little something subtle that I had on my F30

Thanks - it turned out so nice. Menacing in white and black!

I washed my ride, cleaned it up really well. Been working at night, and the bugs here in North Carolina are out in force. I have the glasscoat, but bugs do not care. I clean the windshield each night after pulling into garage. That keeps it mostly under control..

Why would you need a tool kit to remove the grilles? Anything like a flat screwdriver will work fine.

its nice to have tool set, to remove trim anything that will prevent scratch/crack by using regular tool. it was $9 on amazon for 5 piece set.

I see, just a trim tool set, yes everyone should have one of those!

Installed a stealth hitch but used the BMW factory wiring harness.

Where did your order from if I may ask Mine was ordered last Monday and no shipping update yet. My Shopbmwparts order was canceled in 2 seconds for no stock.

The grilles are on back order. I purchase mine on IND, vendors sections . Check them out

chicagofan00 · 06-03-2019, 09:50 PM

Added the rear spoiler. Still deciding on if I truly like it or not.

GGEVOX · 06-03-2019, 09:55 PM

I like the design. Fitment seems to be different. Maybe you need to black wrap the lower section part it it may look more seamless. I can imagine it will look fine on a BSM.

Yeah, fitment isn't 100%. I guess that's what happens when you try the $110 option from AliExpress.

This would be perfect on a black X3.

nyalpine90 · 06-04-2019, 09:16 AM

i bet its in range of $300+

looks really good!!

Either spoiler to me looks ridiculous. Looks like something that belongs on a sabaru.

The M spoiler is very clean and has a bit more flaring than the M40i. This car has quite a hump back and the X3M spoiler is clean IMO.
