What did you do to your F3X today?

BBri89 · 09-14-2020, 07:33 AM

Cheeky little Stage 1 remap.

Such an improvement in drivability.

Korvo · 09-14-2020, 03:14 PM

Damn bruh the box they leaned up on your cluster made me cringe.

Rick4345 · 09-15-2020, 04:51 PM

Put a Remus axle back on my 2015 F31.

It's awesome!!

Nice job on both, those will make a noticeable difference. Please post a pic once the calipers are installed.

Here's some pictures as requested 😊

Installed the AFE GT Momentum cold air intake this morning and went on a short drive. So far so good. A noticeable difference in sound at low speeds/gears and not a noticeable difference in sound or acceleration at higher speeds. After the break-in period I should have a better idea of pros/cons over stock.

I am surprised at how much smaller of a footprint the AFE intake is over stock, it's about 40% smaller but the surface area of the filter is larger.

Hasn't been re-gassed in the 2.5 years I've had the car, and probably wasn't done in the 3 years the previous owner had it, so I figured it needed topping up.

Went for a re-gas, and they found a leak

The usual stone damage to the condenser. So I've ordered some black aluminium fine mesh which I'll fit behind the grilles to protect the new air con rad.

At least it's blowing really cold again now.

Had also booked in for Diff & TC oils change just to make sure the fluids are relatively fresh.
Plan on doing that every 2yrs (30k approx) as a suction and refill rather than a full removal and drain.

So today I got around to protecting the new air con radiator with some black aluminium mesh.

Originally fitted it behind the kidney grilles and the lower grille, but then the bumper wouldn't go back on so had to remove the lower grille one.

I might try and find another way to protect the intercooler.

Dude! I need to do this on the bottom sides where the oil cooler is. So many leaves get pulled into that pocket

Where did you get the black aluminum mesh? Looks like a clean install...

EBay. Just got the cheapest one I could. 40"x13", two lots. Cost like £15 including p&p.

Snipped it to size and cable-tied it so it's secure. Can't even see it unless you look closely, and the holes are smaller than a T25 torx bit, so hopefully stop a lot of stones.

Have a nail in the right rear tire so it's leaking around 10psi overnight. Will get it patched today/tomorrow

sigtwenty · 09-19-2020, 06:23 AM

vegas to Utah. impressive til I hit traffic then drove around town for a bit after.
sitting at like 33mph now.

J555 · 09-20-2020, 12:13 PM

Installed the M3 leather steering wheel trim, including the rear piece. Beautifully crafted, perfect match to my dark grey wheel and surprised the added weight improves the steering feel.

MSCD · 09-20-2020, 02:19 PM

Cleaned it up!

sigtwenty · 09-20-2020, 06:49 PM

installed the B14 bilsteins today.

car is filthy, drove to Utah this weekend prior to install.

took it for a spirited drive....and they aren't as harsh as people claim. hoppy at times, low speed road imperfections are more pronounced but not totally uncomfortable, speed bumps are definitely harsher. on the freeway and even rough road....overall satisfactory! handling however is great. taking turns at 25 to 30mph is solid!

It looks good, I’m thinking about doing the same thing to mine... may I ask how hard was it to install and did you have to reprogram or do some coding after the install? Not sure if when I install mine I will loose the vibration warning. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
