The wheels look great with the tint and other black accent pieces. It's coming together nicely and also giving me some good ideas.

Thanks buddy! I'm eagerly waiting for the springs and spacers, they might be in today!

Then needs a nice little wash and tire shine (damn construction in our condo garage)

Congratulations and love the color combo!

Thank you!
Well a buddy of mine approached me with a great deal, looks like ill be picking up the JB for the X3 today...

Lets see how that goes!

Burger is here...time to install

YESSSS! Just came in yesterday... ready for install Monday:

screen grab

Removed tail light film - it hid the lines of the tail lights too much - wish it was much lighter...
I've kept the third brake light and the reflectors (might paint reflectors alpine white) will see.

Will snap some nice photos once my goodies are on Monday:

Springs and spacers have been put on.

Here is a before and after of spacers:
BEFORE - REAR


AFTER - REAR


And some shots of it dropped - looks great and rides great, love it!





I have a similar shot i've taken before the springs - but i had parked in reverse so i did a horizontal flip - ill take a shot where i backed into my spot next time...

BEFORE SPRINGS - FLIPPED PHOTO


AFTER SPRINGS - REAL PHOTO

Nice looking car. What kind of spacers you put on?

Thanks - one of the best, ECS Tuning

I should have asked more specifically. How wide are the spacers? Thank!

12.5 MM in the front (could have done 15MM easy)
20 MM In the back

Thanks for the info. I was planning on doing 15mm front and 20mm rear. I have 2014 m sport. Stock suspension, stock 19inch msport rims. Will it sit flush and won't stick out right? Thanks again! Really love what you have done with your car.

Ya that should be perfect.
You could also hold a string with weight and hang it from the fender, and then measure what you need, thats what i did

Thanks for the compliment!

Its looking great, you keep giving me ideas on things i want to do. Im really tempted to do the burger tuner but i dont want to risk my warranty right now. So for now i have to settle waiting on my black grilles to show up.

Thank you!
Its plug and play - but your call

How are you liking the burger tune ?

Been great, no complaints. Quick car now!

how has the burger tune affect your fuel economy? and did you have edc suspension or normal?

Has not affected it much unless you obviously driver harder. I get gas paid by my company so i haven't been paying too much attention to it to be honest lol.

Not sure about EDC - how do you know if your vehicle has edc or not?
