Nice! What are your impressions?

Loud lol! Just finished a few hours ago but after about a week I'll do a write up. I know this is the path many have taken and will likely take too so I'll try to be detailed

That would be great - I'm considering the various mid-pipes out there and wish there were a comprehensive thread on them. There seems to be a few options out there - guess it is more a matter of taste.

Scratch that, found the thread (https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showt...hlight=midpipe)

I installed my ER midpipe today. Great improvement over the stock 2nd cats and resonators.

danniexi · 10-21-2022, 07:00 AM

took the thanos-style "fine, i'll do it myself" approach and did my own bit of R&D since no one else would.

that being said, it's a fail on my part so it will be for sale soon.

for me personally? no.

getting access to the inner DRL is super easy (its on top of the headlight). getting access to the outer DRL/turn signal will require removing the front bumper and removing the headlight in its entirety. that's not an option for me as of this point since I'd have to fully remove my front lip to do that as well. I tried going through the fender liner but there is a metal bracket on top of the module that gets in the way and that CAN'T be removed. it's simply not possible to do this without removing the headlights. unless someone can tell me otherwise im gonna abandon this mod. someone else can probably do this with ease but for me it aint a DIY venture considering my front lip is 3M taped like a mofo to the front bumper. too much work for a few lights.

I got the wheels ceramic coated along with the rest of the car. I've just been using a little bit of soapy water and a set of chemical guys brushes to get into all of the small areas. Hose them off and then dry them with a microfiber towel.

LCI can change the color of DRL's? Or just pre-LCI?

its a matter of changing the LED boards on the headlights (like what all the G8x owners are doing with the CSL DRLs). LCI, pre-lci, doesnt matter.

Jarocki · 10-26-2022, 01:49 PM

Swapped onto my new (to me) 695m Winters. I'm typically not a fan of black wheels at all, but these sure clean up nicely

Coded out the amber lights… way better

I bet it's the same modules… got rid of active sound too (or whatever it's called), didn't realize how big of a difference it would make

May I ask how you did this? Was this with Bimmercode?
