What did you do to your F3X today?

gpxluke · 02-15-2021, 09:43 AM

Put some self-designed 3D printed guage pod to mount my water temp gauge

BWbimmer · 02-15-2021, 11:59 AM

Looking nice! Still I rather have more values on my phone

GreenF30N26 · 02-15-2021, 01:05 PM

Hard pull popped my ER charge pipe sleeve off the top pipe after 20 months of use. Seems like the top pipe moved upwards away from the lower pipe enough to slip off under WOT. Also, found that my DP clamp had moved over the last year from being positioned at ~1 o'clock down to almost ~3 o'clock and my EWG was banging on it after the car gave a drivetrain malfunction drive moderately error and put the EWG wide open. Re-positioned the DP clamp and the top charge pipe and back in business. Fun weekend

Put the pre-LCI Euros back on. Upgrading the incandescents to LED as soon as they arrive.

Are Euro turn signals an easy swap? I want to swap my turn signal to amber for safety reasons but I have a LCI car

Living in the UK for 30 years when I moved here I was disappointed my first few cars came with amber lights! All perspective I guess but I get the safety component of a different colour

Alvin Mpower · 02-16-2021, 02:50 PM

Put on a new spoiler today, looking really nice and aggressive, way better than the M performance one.

BWbimmer · 02-16-2021, 04:31 PM

Is it cabon?

learntocode · 02-16-2021, 05:14 PM

Matte red buttons M1 & M2, also swapped out stock paddle for M paddle.

They are plug and play if you buy the Euro tails.

lonaman · 02-16-2021, 11:33 PM

Brake fluid flush and bleed.

Icecph · 02-17-2021, 12:57 AM

Great colour choice! Gold and black is a good looking combo!

Is that powder coating?

I'm still trying to decide in what colour to paint mine, my car is alpine white tho.

Thanks! The rims are black but mine is mineral grey haha. Variations of colors 😂
Yea I figured I didn't want the typical red or blue. Orange or yellow are somewhat too bright.
Gold flake seems like a good color to match. And it's painted, not powder coat. I mean one is cheaper than the other and I've seen a lot of topics on this, seems like it's be safer to just paint them.
White really matches any color, but also depends on your rim color too!

Red, blue (too typical lol)
orange, yellow, neon green (less common I suppose)
But I do like how black/gold doesn't get so...uninteresting after looking at it for awhile. 🤣

Still, it looks sick! The mineral grey makes it even better imo.

Yeah I got a used set of blue M-Sport brake callipers. But I don't really fancy the blue colour, especially with the white. And I also like to stand out 😁
They are stripped and ready for powder coating. Choosing this because of the durability and is supposed to be easier to keep clean. We'll see.

The rims is hyper silver 763m style wheels. I am leaning towards some kind of yellow/brown/orange-ish colour. But it's damn hard to decide 😂
I like the Phoenix yellow for example.

Ahaha I wish I've gotten black bmw sometimes...
Hell yea it kinda just adds up to the look. Nothing too fancy, about to match front and back with the gold flake too.

Yea blue m sport gets boring IMO 😂
Ohhhhh I like the look of 763m too! But wasn't sure if it's a direct fit and didn't wanna bother with the spacers and all.
I think those would go well with burnt copper. Somewhat fits what the colors you're looking for too.
Just my two cents 😉
Pics were from the forum as well. Some people painted burnt copper, and found it with alpine white too haha.
