We had leased a 2019 X3 M40i and then when the X3MC leases got aggressive we threw the X3 on Swapalease and took delivery of the following:

2020 X3MC in Black Sapphire
Sakhir Orange Interior
Exec Package
Driver's Assistance Package
Ventilated Seats

I've done a few modifications listed below:
-Custom Carbon Fiber flat-bottom steering wheel from CarbonLedSolutions
-Powdercoated the 21" wheels gloss black
-Powdercoated brake calipers gloss red
-15mm Spacers all around from RG Sport
-20% Tint on front windows

My impressions of this car after 6,000 miles are: this is a phenomenal car. It is absolutely perfectly balanced, sounds amazing, looks stunning and is a versatile practical rocket ship. I thought the X3 M40i was amazing but this just makes me smile from ear-to-ear every time I am behind the wheel.

And finally time for the pics!

Love it .. looks stunning!
Congratulations and Enjoy it

Awesome photos! Love the red calipers

Do you know if bmw would void a brake warranty if the calipers are painted?

Hey if you don't mind letting me know about your steering wheel...how much did it cost and who installed it for you? Your car is really nice, congrats .. I live in NYC also and got my x3m competition like a month ago.

Nope I couldn't wait. The lease on my SQ5 was up and I got an incredible deal on this car through Swapalease.com!

Curious though, you painted the calipers and wheels on a leased car, does your dealership allow that?

Some dealerships may care, but mine never seem to. It also depends on whether or not they deem the work is tasteful, i.e. painting your brakes pink may trigger a flag!

I'm in New York too, what dealership doesn't care about that stuff I'm leasing with them next lol

You should be okay!

Yup what he said!
