What did you do to your F3X today?

obert · 07-22-2018, 12:00 AM

Oil change with some moly oil and adjusted the rear suspension

So much gloss and very reflective!! Great detail job!

Digital_83 · 07-22-2018, 05:46 PM

Helped my brother pick up his new car [he finally converted and joined the Dark Side]

I'm really surprised to see how well non-M Sport edition looks in person ! Never would I thought something like this would come out of my mouth, but dang - this dark blue looks just amazing in this configuration.
Fun fact - 2019 models now come standard with a touch screen and Navi.

p.s. ehh B'klyn does look shitty sometimes ..

After coding the rear fog lights, and doing the tab removal on the 'blank', i managed to get my hands on a euro light panel and decided to replace my blank with the oem button.

Only caveat is that the US spec doesn't have backlighting in that spot.

Why not just install the EU switch as well instead of just button on US version?

Found my EU switch on eBay.

Changed my side reflectors, put in LED fog lights, installed logo puddle lights, painted my calipers (G2 paint), and spray painted the rotor hats (I had the wheels off, so why not?). There was a bit of a scare when one of the jack stands failed and the rear of the car dropped on the rotors, but other than bending the rotor heat shield back into shape, it appears to be fine (no noises or pulsing from brakes).

Thanks, I was safely in the car park and on the station platform. Looked like fluid coming out of the M3 as well. If I didn't feel so bad for the 2 drivers I would have asked the driver to have 1st refusal on the mirrors

RoundelM3 · 07-23-2018, 07:29 AM

Installed a VRSF metal charge pipe last week to replace the plastic unit the finally broke (at the throttle body collar) after 5 1/2 years of ownership. Seems to run better with the aluminum pipe, possibly due to better airflow and reduced turbulence due to the old pipe's "corrugated" center section.

So the one I got also has the beam adjustment wheel. Didn't feel like coding that lol (or finding out how to rather)

jay_spec5 · 07-23-2018, 01:29 PM

Installed rear diffuser painted in black semigloss and fresh wash.

Always wondered if the CP changes anything. I heard it does but this is a nice confirmation.

thanks!
