Hi guys!

Recently bought a 2.0d X3, started off loving (until the engine went pop but il get to that) it after all my previous cars have been VW and very low, was planning on keeping it standard until I saw the 'Aerodynamic pack' and that put an end to that! :)) managed to find the rear bumper from a written off X3 the front bumper I bought new and added the matt black grilles. Having trouble finding the side skirts and arches! So she started off like this

Amber lights before :noexpression:

Replaced these

With some smoked ones and Osram diadem chrome bulbs

Few more little things that I wanted to get sorted!

Brand new from BMW

Before

Old vs new, slightly different shape, couldn't believe how heavy these gear knobs are!

And all new :)

Rear bumper fitted

Hi and welcome. Sorry to hear of your engine woes. Read a good few posts on BMW land of people with 2.0 d engine and turbo problems.
Hope you got it all sorted now :)

Cheers bud, the pulley at the front on the engine chucked the belts off under acceleration as it wasn't tightened properly :( bottom end totally un-repairableĀ  so have gone for a recon engine through BMW and picked up set of new injectors today, plan is to get it remapped once the new engine is in and running :P

Bought some 19" M Sport alloys from ebay just waiting for them to arrive, I have also bought some x4 Alpine SPG-10C2 4" coaxial speakers to replace the pretty shocking standard ones!

Future plans are leather interior, window tints, aerodynamic side skirts and arches and remapĀ  ;)

Looking good.
Definitely keep an eye out for the side skirts as they make a huge difference.

This is my mates 2.0d with the Aerodynamic2 kit fitted
