Raise the rear 1/4". No more tire tuck but rides better. Actually drives straighter too. Camber was max out in rear prior to lift lol.

I am thinking of doing the same. My springs are starting to settle, and I feel I could use a quarter inch as well. Thankfully my installer does a free follow up alignment after 30 days, so I will have Wing raise the car and check thee alignment.

Thankfully I am only at -1.9 in the rear. For some reason I thought I was at -2.2 , but thankfully I was wrong.

I do love these B16's....

I'd be yelling "Get your ass off my paint!" LOL.

Had my service center:
Add a VRSF intercooler
Replace boost pipe with VRSF aluminum pipe (hot side - people say they don't fail but they're plastic so I thought "while you're in there…")
Replace broken charge pipe with VRSF aluminum charge pipe. There are those that have broken their charge pipe, and those that will…
Add Active Autowerke catted downpipe
Install 15mm wheel spacers on the rear
Install 12mm wheel spacers on the front.

Next to do is an AFE cold air intake and BM3 stage 2 tune, change to E85, 1 step colder plugs, and install ASD delete (harness).

Can't wait!

I scrubbed my black wheels using Dawn Ultra. Then gave them a thin coat of RejeX.

What brand of ceramic coating did you use?

Are your side reflectors carbon fiber? If so did you buy them or make them? I had to make mine because I couldn't find anyone that made them in real carbon fiber.

Hit a bird or turkey on the highway.

This is just after replacing the front lip a few weeks ago. Stock ride-height and a I'm a careful driver but this lip has been more trouble than it's worth.

I can see your point...if I chose to downsize to only 2 vehicles, I could see selling the 2 series for the "sporty version" of the X3 as well

I suspect the pull wasn't quite right (trouble with kickdown button, wrong gear, or the electronic nannies interfering?) and/or operator error from the shop because the chart itself makes zero sense. Seconds in the x-axis, power and torque never crossing with different scales on the y-axis, power and torque decreasing over time rather than increasing, etc.

What side skirts do you have?

Washed my car!

I feel your pain… also at stock height and I’ve “folded” the lip over and out like that about 3 times. My last fix was taking the front end off completely, prying it back into position and then using a heat gun and several clamps to reshape the plastic. It’s not perfect and I can live with it but I would not install a new one. I’ll just buy a new front bumper without the lip once this one finally bites the dust.

They're m-performance knock-offs in gloss black from a now-defunct website called Golden-Selling that was popular on here a few years ago. Chinese made, shipped from Turkiye. Fitment is okay but the finish is terrible. I've got a set of replacement skirts in glossy carbon fiber wrap from KGSplitters on Instagram going on later this year.

Installed a BMS Stage 1 tune. Highly recommend for stock set up!

[PeanuKeeyes]

Ordered a coby alcantara wheel, black/black with a white stripe. Tired of the shiny leather. — also just pried off this piece of aftermarket body kit. Was indifferent to it until I downsized the rear wing. It stood out too much after that.
