M Performance grilles fitted

Was just browsing around the showroom and they had a nice discounted offer on these. Bit of a fiddle getting the original chrome surround units out but well worth it. Very pleased.

Re: engine oil

I have always used Mobil 1 fully synthetic in all my BM's.....not sure about doing any sneaky interim oil changes on the new X3 as I believe the oil put in at the dealers has a dye in it so they can abdicate from a warranty claim if you have done an interim oil change....beware

Re: BMW Genuine Car AUX Connector

you have first dibs sir. Just check on the real OEM website to make sure it will fit your unit. Im sure it will as i had it fitted to my 06 facelift. Like I say just double check.

Re: Trunk/boot matt

had the genuine article included with the deal on the car when ordered at the dealers. It isnt just the BMW logo but the lovely X logo stitched into the mat that looks really good. Will post some pics when i have taken them.
although £25 is good buy and it looks good and fits as well

Re: Newbie with X3 F25....has replaced X5 e53
