Was just browsing around the showroom and they had a nice discounted offer on these. Bit of a fiddle getting the original chrome surround units out but well worth it. Very pleased.

I have always used Mobil 1 fully synthetic in all my BM's.....not sure about doing any sneaky interim oil changes on the new X3 as I believe the oil put in at the dealers has a dye in it so they can abdicate from a warranty claim if you have done an interim oil change....beware

Now that looks mint.....lovely varation on the Carbon Black colour I reckon. You have done well Sir.

you have first dibs sir. Just check on the real OEM website to make sure it will fit your unit. Im sure it will as i had it fitted to my 06 facelift. Like I say just double check.
Cheers

Once ...

and probably the best picture so far, following the professional new car detail with Gtechniq crystal serum

and welcome....front lights cloudy?? i had this on my X5 and Z4 and followed the rub down with 1500 grit wet & dry without water...yes sounds drastic, then 2500 wet and dry with water. Then hit the lens with paint restoration through to wax compound using the DA polisher. Results were brilliant ...

posted in the newbies section, however couldnt resist a gallery post

and heres mine.....went for a Z4 though....

same reason pinewood....X5 just didnt match my needs whereas the X3 was bang on. Fluttered with a 3 series as there was a serious dealer & BMW contribution in the mix of about 5K to get them shifted before the facelift model arrives....still didnt swing the decision...X all the time for me
