What did you do to your F3X today?

5mall5nail5 · 12-25-2018, 01:24 PM

Love it Jonathan and we have the same name. Looks sharp.

Crutchfield wants $1k for it. I don't ebay anymore.
My g/f paid for half of it. She gets a say in the car since she got it for me for my birthday. Might as well try something different.

Keep us posted on the installation & sound quality.

SteveInfante · 12-25-2018, 10:00 PM

Washed, clayed, minor scuffs/scratches buffed out, one coat of Meg's Fast finish. Should hold me over till warm weather.

Also, any scraping yet?

Nope those are replicas from a forum sponsor.

Christmas brought me a warning triangle for my long roof.

Fit perfectly in the hatch where it will stay and hopefully never need to be used.

jimbobiggens · 12-26-2018, 05:36 AM

To be fair about this - My car is a base BMW. Base. As in, no sporty stuff.

Today was the first chance I've had to take it out and hit some apexes. Those seats are nice and comfortable but won't hold you in place. I think the only thing keeping me in the cockpit was my grip on the steering wheel. My butt would have more grip if it was sitting on a banana peel.

What's the point of having "the ultimate driving machine" if you can't lay 'er ears back around some corners once in a while?

Sorry for the rant, It's 5am and I'm a little ill. Not used to being tossed around like a ping-pong ball in a hurricane. My 2001 Lightning is an absolute ball to bomb around in the corners and I kinda expected this car to be on a higher level than a F150 that's old enough to vote.

Don't get me wrong, I love this car. I think I'm asking it to do something it wasn't designed to do and I'm a little surprised at that.

This is our first 3er without sports seats, and we won't be making that mistake again! Between them & the run-flat tires our F30 isn't quite what we're used to, but is still a nice car.

+1 for sport seats. I specifically checked all the listings to make sure the car I bought had them.

I upgraded to a Chemex and have not looked back. Coffee on a whole other level.

SteveInfante · 12-27-2018, 04:54 AM

Drove up to the cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Cashiers, NC.

floridaorange · 12-27-2018, 09:36 AM

Added magnaflow muffler a few days ago, loving the deeper exhaust note.

Ordered least aggressive spoiler with matching A89 paint color yesterday

5mall5nail5 · 12-27-2018, 10:25 AM

Got some tint! Llumar ATR 30%

I like the color and not too dark

Just wondering, do you have an aftermarket downpipe as well? Any drone in your car? I have a Magnaflow custom exhaust and the drone is a real downer.

floridaorange · 12-27-2018, 04:56 PM

I have a 4” catless dp, I don’t get any drone... and if I do it’s not noticeable enough to matter. The muffler has dual pipes in it, it literally made my exhaust sound just right.

Installed red start button today. Lol

jh_f30 · 12-27-2018, 09:21 PM

Cold weather (relatively speaking...50s here in CA

) wash, clay, sealant. Got dark so I'll give it a coat of wax tomorrow.

harrywashy · 12-28-2018, 03:19 PM

Coded:
- Mirrors fold on lock/unlock
- M performance in dash
- M animation on iDrive
- audio turns off when door opens
- rain sensors to sensitive
- lowered heated seat temperature (too hot!)
- turn off legal disclaimers
- added display tire temperature and psi
- activated video in motion

Dheeth-G80 · 12-28-2018, 03:52 PM

Hopefully installing tomorrow with friends from here that are on the forum as well.

I just did all the exact same coding and it's awesome.

jh_f30 · 12-28-2018, 05:04 PM

Finished detailing the car today. No rain in the forecast for the near future. Temps in the 50s.
