What did you do to your F3X today?

SteveInfante · 04-03-2020, 10:06 AM

Installed the roof rack on the wagon so I can load the fishing kayak up there.

That’s cool. I didn’t know you could put that on the top.

Enjoy your new ride!

What mileage interval are you suppose to replace your 4 series plugs? I thought they are good for at least 100K miles.

Hi,

Hope everyone is doing well during these surreal times. I guess it is a good time to get busy with bits and pieces on the F30. So what have you recently done to your F30??

I gave a good go at wrapping my wing mirrors, and rear spoiler in gloss black. What do you think?

Solidjake · 04-04-2020, 10:24 AM

Swapped out my winter wheels for my summer wheels. I missed my SM-10s

F30lolz · 04-04-2020, 10:37 AM

Drove 18 hours straight from Miami to Indiana yesterday.

gdgraph · 04-04-2020, 11:45 AM

Had my new 763M replicas installed on stock tires (18x8 square).

That's quite the haul! Did you get any resistance at borders?

None at all. Traffic was rather light the whole trip. Left Thursday around 5pm and arrived in my new hometown around 11am the next day. Gas prices in Tennessee reminded me of how they were in the mid to late 90’s!

That's great, glad it went smoothly. Congrats on the move!

amancuso · 04-05-2020, 09:20 AM

Only plan is to wash and vacuum the 428i today, switch over from rubber to carpet mats. If I am up for it I'll do the same to the X5 as well.

You're lucky lots of places are starting 14 day quarantine for out of state travelers especially if coming from hot zones. Congrats on a successful trip!

CDawg · 04-05-2020, 10:09 AM

Here in SA we’re in day 10 of our lockdown. I’ve since did a full wash, decontamination and clay. Today I’ve detailed the interior thoroughly and leaving the wheels and wax for last. Been keeping me busy for sure

amancuso · 04-05-2020, 12:01 PM

Washed it. It needs a wax so bad, so I pulled it into the garage, will clay, paint clean and wax it over the coming days.

disintegrator66 · 04-05-2020, 01:23 PM

Modified some M3 rock guards to fit my 340i.

dmaxdmax · 04-05-2020, 04:45 PM

I fixed one of my two door sill led panels. I didn't know it had two batteries beneath it. cr2430s. One I couldn't save.

Get extra clips if you do this...I broke a few. Repaired a few...but it's a pricey sucker new, so glad to do it for a couple of batteries. Use a flat pry bar...there are four clips in the front door sill. I broke some of the brackets holding the clips in but used a uv glue to hold them it. Be gentle.

It's Oz · 04-05-2020, 06:32 PM

I swapped out my winter wheels and tires with the new summer wheels I just bought and took a few night shots (I just introduced myself to night photography and this was my first trial run at it).

Thanks but somewhat worried about getting my 335 in the next coming weeks. By then, flying back to Miami and driving it up here might be a challenge if things continue to get worse.

Bored quarantine "project" of the day

chowser51 · 04-05-2020, 09:56 PM

I did it with OEM ones. Yep, cost more but piece of mind. You get 3 options. ///M, BMW, X I think... I forget if there was another one.
