What did you do to your F3X today?

djacinto · 11-11-2021, 01:14 PM

Did what I been wanting to since the beginning: LCI taillights!!

Got them for a great price with the harness from a seller on eBay, quick and easy. Followed this guide to a tee (minus having an m4)

Beautifully designed in my opinion, I actually loved my pre lci's and even did the LED bulb conversions is that held me over for a while, but something about the LCI just drew me in

Conversion was SUPER easy, wrote up about it here

Also, got the m sport door sills from an awesome dealer on eBay as well, I'm starting my way to M sport

More pics to come as I clean the car and do some more swaps soon

Better feel mostly comes from pads and fluid.

Thanks! Crazy thing on these was I recently found that BMW superseded the orange sets #34112221447 to a new part #34112450470. This was on the orange kits only. I called Fields BMW parts in Daytona and the best parts guy in the world found a set for me and did a special order to secure them. I got the set ending in 447 (the ones being superseded) for $885. Not sure if any 447 kits are still out there or not, take a look you might find one.

Pads and fluid make a difference, for sure. I upgraded pads and flush fresh fluid and ran a few seasons just with those changes. I wanted to step up on my rears and had been looking for used sets for a while, but could not pass up this deal for a full kit (I practically got this kit for the price of some pad upgrades!). To be honest, I probably wouldn't have done it if I hadn't found this deal. The full price they ask on these kits is crazy. I would have got some used ones instead.

They feel great so far, I wouldn't say a big difference on day-to-day driving. Will have more of an idea once season starts back up again. I had to have them coded for my car, others have different experiences.

So that price is for everything? This is the set without rear rotors? That's an insane deal-hook a brother up and get me in contact!

Those wheels are really nice.

Took advantage of a lazy Sunday and detailed my engine bay

SLo B48 · 11-15-2021, 04:39 AM

I took out the stock spark plugs and installed new NGKs.

NGK Iridium 94201 SILZKGR8B8S

Gapped to .022 as recommended for tuned cars by FCP Euro. Car has 37k miles and ran smooth as silk before the new plugs. I changed them as preventative maintenance and an excuse to poke around the engine bay. The fluids are next on my list!

what did you use to clean?

boosted14 · 11-15-2021, 06:28 AM

I used water and a rag first to get rid of most the dirt and other buildup, then I used armor all wipes.

Fliplegend · 11-15-2021, 11:07 AM

Winter wheels on.

Dmaster223 · 11-15-2021, 04:51 PM

Drove it 406 miles from where I purchased it in CA to my home here in Phoenix!

Tried to pass emissions, it failed since it's Stage 2 Catless DP so I am searching out how to get it to pass.

Reinstall OEM DP, flash back to stock, complete drive cycle.
