Pretty simple to do overall.

@@accelerated_motionI don’t have a jack or the tools for it lol

Its just some white acrylic latex caulk from Lowes/Home Depot - Alex Plus is the brand.

Couldnt agree more.

No, it did not get worse. If anything, it is better.

Not completely necessary to remove the top hat. The center nut is what matters the most. I removed just in case I needed more clearance when swinging the entire assembly out. But since I removed the plastic wheel wells, it was plenty of room. Imagine the X3 will be a similar process, so I would leave the top hat in place. Not a big deal to remove though, only 4 external torx bolts.

@@accelerated_motionthank you for the quick response. Would you happen to have the torque specs handy? Many thanks in advance

@@rickycabanillas5253 I don’t. I’d have to look them up but they would likely be different for your x3 anyway. I would check a forum for torque specs. That’s what I usually do.

Swivel adapter for the ratchet can be purchased any auto parts store. Mine is Kobalt brand from Lowe’s. It came in a pack of multiple swivel sizes and extensions. And then I used an 8mm socket for the nut.

My pleasure!

Due to the way these are designed, there is no room for the Competition badge, and there is no plan to create a smaller version at this time.

I agree! Subtle details all add up! I love them!

They're pretty sick! Reach out to Carbon Culture UK for a set and let me know that I sent you!

Its crazy how it happens. Especially since my car was totally stock at the time.

It definitely feels weird if its your first time pulling an axel out. Fortunately, Ive experienced it before on previous cars, so I know how it feels and how to put it back into place. I thought about removing the nut you're referring to, but from everything I read, it was not necessary and seemed like one extra step. If I can avoid removing things, thats better in my opinion.

Hahaha, I may have to put some PPF on them to prevent her scratching them off! She will definitely have to remove her shoes! :)

Cant answer that, as I NEVER have anyone in the backseat! With the exception of my daughter, who is still in a carseat.

I like the stance better on the AST springs, as they go lower than the KW HAS. However, I think the KW HAS feels better. A little less jarring than the AST. But both are great options. AST springs are obviously a cheaper option, so there are multiple factors at play.

I know that Kies Motorsports swapped in G8X seats into an M340, so you may want to check out their video to see if anything else is needed other than coding.

@@accelerated_motion I checked out there video and they don’t say much about coding, do you know what app is used for coding them, and do you know what codes pop up when seats are replaced ?

@@accelerated_motion Would i still be able to drive without coding and would anything happen ?

Thanks!

Ive had one for over a year now! :)

Hahaha! They're all lying to themselves about which seats are better! Clearly, we know :) Thanks for the comment!

Thank you for the partnership! I agree, it looks amazing against the tartufo! Really enhances the interior!

Is this compatible with M4 as well? What’s the shipping time?

Mission accomplished, influenced an order before I finished the video. Looking forward to them arriving!

@@DEM3NTD Love to hear it! You will love them!

@@numvienthongsuk4684 The ones in my video are for G80, as the M4 is slightly different. Check Vescaa's website for the products that are available for your M4. Otherwise, install process is the same. When products are no longer in stock, the production and shipping times are always marked on our product pages.

Just wanted to try something different on this car. Im trying to not build the same car as the previous blue G80. Also, the KW HAS did not go as low as I would have liked. The ASTs have been decent so far, but I am encountering some front drivers side noise. But I think its from the strut hardware, so I am going to replace those and see if it goes away. Otherwise, happy with the AST - the drop is perfect.

the early batches made noises cuz of the spring isolaters. they revised it and theyre noise free.

I use a hockey puck under the jack pads most of the time.

235/35, 265/30 - no spacers, no rubbing.

LOL need to get back into it!

Theyre so small, you dont need precut ones. You can easily buy a small roll of black vinyl and do it yourself. Super easy to cut around.

Unfortunately, I do not know what that part is called. I bet you could probably find it on a BMW parts website with a diagram. You'll have to do some digging. I would not leave that hole exposed in the meantime - maybe some tape or something to keep water out.

@@accelerated_motion I covered that hole with electric tape on both sides, I’m hoping that should block off any water from getting in, I’m not sure how you were able to install that rubber grammet piece with the wire in the hole. I was Afraid I would damage the wire

@@kingdomkon4906 The wire is thin enough and flexible enough that it still passed through the hole, even with the grommet. No issues.

It's good! I would say 80% less dust! Ive had a tiny bit of brake squeal, not often. Overall, VERY happy with these and would buy them again.

@@accelerated_motion Ok great! Appreciate the feedback. Love the BRG G80 🫡

@@legacydriven You bet! Thanks for the support!

@@accelerated_motion Absolutely 👊🏼

You bet! All of my cabinets are NewAge Bold Series.

@@accelerated_motionthanks! Any specific vendor you went through? They look great.

@@AUav8r05 Went directly through TuxMat! Check out their website and place your order that way! Or, if you happen to reach out to them, let them know I sent you! Maybe they will hook you up!

Not sure what you're referring to.

You need to do the opposite of what I did. You'll need 5x120 to 5x112 adapters. Double check what your center bore is on the F80 and the M824 wheels.

Glad I could help! I couldnt find an in depth video either, so that's why I decided to grab the camera!

The emergency brake is for the rear brakes. Technically nothing was keeping the rotor from rotating - the air jack was in the right spot so it wasnt going to move on me.

Lol what now?

Yes they are! And they are for sale!

Thanks man!

I did not use the spindle spreader during my install since I did not remove the strut itself. I did mention it in the video just in case you wanted to remove the strut and do the work off the car. But if you do it the way I did it, then you dont need the spreader :)

Thank you! Yes, they should still have a valid code for me but if it doesnt work, please let me know so I can reach out to my contact. The code for Euro Performance Center is: Adamt

Thank you ! I will

Yes they are!

If you follow my instructions in the video, there is nothing else to do. The ebrake engaged and disengaged with no problems at all after the install was complete.

​@@accelerated_motion thanks for the feedback. Been doing my research on the rear pad replacement

@@mdnajibulhossain5827 You bet! Best of luck. Its a bit more time consuming than front pads but if you follow my instructions, you'll be fine!

Once the calipers are installed, press the brake pedal a few times until firm, this pushes the pistons back out until the pads contact the disc in the normal way. Then they should retract a little, as is normal with the action of the square cut seal, when you let go of the pedal. Then, engage the parking brake as normal. It will stop itself as normal, once it meets resistance. HTH

Yeah the website also says they only have mats that fit the X-Drive models? The floor is different in the RWD versions? 🤷🏼‍♂️

M3 and regular 3 series will be the same. However, these are for xdrive models only. I think RWD floor boards may be different. If you need to confirm fitment, I would suggest reaching out to TuxMat directly. Unfortunately, I do not have any discount codes but if you'd like to message them and tell them that you watched my video, that would be great!

Yes - apparently the RWD version floor boards are different. So as of right now, these mats are good for the xdrive only.

That is not me, but I would be willing to sell my diamond silver TE's. I have not officially posted them for sale on FB marketplace, but I did comment on a few groups that I would be willing to sell them.

With that being said, if you are interested in buying my TE's, send me a message on Instagram @thompsac_M3

Very good question! Car seat fits well, but the front passenger seat needs to be pushed forward a bit. Its honestly the same as my wife's G01 X3M40i. My baby loves the G80 though. She likes all the loud exhaust noise and she still has no problem falling asleep if need be. I would say the amount of room with a rear facing child seat is the same regardless of the seats being comfort or buckets. I did not notice a difference in space between the two.

@@accelerated_motion thank you!!

Surprising! Maybe it'll come on in a few days. My hole was large so the car immediately went into limp mode.

Wheel spacers won't damage wheel bearings. In fact, they are no different from a wheel with less backspacing. In other words, spacers cause no more damage than offset wheels. As long as they fit properly and are correctly torqued, there will be no issues.
