Nice! I think we might end up with identical cars lol. I just got done with CF mirrors and the black grille.
I plan on doing the gloss black roof as well. Just can't decide if I want to wrap the spoiler as well. Coming from an M3 I'm used to having lots of aftermarket parts to choose from...

Awesome! I thought it was a photo of my car at first. I'd change out the incandescent turn signals to LEDs as well!

Hey,

very nice work.

Which LED Turn Signal Bulb do you use? Have you problems with check control errors?

Thanks! Do you need the exact bulb types? If so I need to look it up but I coded it to not throw errors for the LEDs.

Ok thanks, the bulbs will make an error if not coded. Thats bad here in Germany.

I need bulbs that fit and will not make errors in check control.

I purchased many different types of CANBUS (error free) bulbs but none of them seemed to work. I gave up and just got regular bulbs and coded it out.

I swapped mine with weisslicht bulbs and haven't had any errors.

Well done! Looks amazing!

question: Can side view mirrors lamps be replaced with led.
for some weird reason passenger side view mirror blinker is cracked. It still works fine but not sure if its lense and bulbs are seperate or 1 piece (lense with bulb)

thinking of upgrade both blinks on side view mirrors with leds

So nice contrast with black grills on white!

I have no idea to tell you the truth, mine already came with LEDs so I did not have to do do anything with the mirror lights.

Im assuming mine are LED since its same year. I just order both side view mirror lamps.
i hate parking in the streets.

did you get CF mirror caps from getbmwparts?
i dont trust ebay ones .

Looks awesome... the front LED makes a huge difference actually

You should get the gloss black X3 badge.

This is so well done! Mine is white too and will take some inspiration from your build!

Looks beautiful

Hey jonsc!

Lol, I know it's been a while since you've posted this, but I just recently purchased a CPO 2016 BMW X3 xDrive35i fully loaded with the M Sport package, and was interested in possible doing the black grille and mirrors.

Could you tell me how you did it and what materials you used? How much did it cost approximately?

Thanks!

You can get the black grilles on Ebay pretty cheap. I've bought mine for my F25 and previous F31, E90 and had no issues with longevity.
