X35 M Owner says hello

[Bob1098R]

Hello,

Owned my x35M E70 for 6 months now , done a few mods , biggest being a remap @ Ecotune , (should be putting out 350bhp , needs dyno run though)
Just started getting into detailing ,the cars had a going over with a clay bar and a few coats of carnuba wax , looks 10 times better than when i got the car but its definitely a work in progress,
Fitted the Lux H8's to get rid of the yellow angel eyes and just had the wheels painted Ferric grey , I'll post some decent pictures if the sun ever comes out,
Cheers,
Bob.

Hello and Welcome.

I wish they stayed that clean for longer though....

Welcome and lovely looking car you have there.

Do you feel like cleaning mine once you've finished

Welcome Bob!  I know what you mean about your car being nicer than when you picked it up - I feel like a good few hours spent on the purchase is part of the bonding process!

Interested in the Lux upgrade. I absolutely hate the yellow lights. Is it straightforward to do?

Hello mate,

Yeah it wasn't my car until I'd gave it a good clean, next step will be a machine polish but i don't know if i've got the bottle to try it myself,

The Lux upgrade takes about 5 minutes each side , all you need to do is swap the Lux led unit for the halogen OE bulb , no warning lights or issues with the cars electrical system either so its straightforward and well worth the money i think.

Thanks Bob, that's really helpful and sounds like a no-brainer. Any complicated bits or tools needed or just really straightforward?

Dead easy, remove the 1/4 turn cover at the back of the headlight pod , swap the lights over and replace the cover , no tools needed , its a little bit of a tight squeeze to get your hand in the pod but you could do it with your eyes shut

[huck]

Thank you so much. Will order ASAP.

Welcome Bob, your X looks great, and if that's work in progress I can't wait to see the finished article. 

Huck, I also did the angle eye upgrade.  I put in 20watt LEDs, the signature shows the results.  As bob has mentioned it an easy job......it needed to be for me to get it right!  ::)

I'm trying to find a link to the seller, but no luck yet, will post once found.

I think the 20watts were around £55-£60. It is possible to get even brighter 35 watts but not looked it to the price of these.

It was £200 from this guy ,

Lamps are made in the states but the manufacturers website says out of stock.

There are a few options out there but i couldnt advise on which is best , only that the H8's work really well
