Nice! Sounds sweet! Might just try it out soon on my own car!

Speaking of which.. It's finally here!



Just a sample shot! Will have a full thread soon!


The Deep Sea Blue is absolutely gorgeous in my eyes!

Congrats Bro.
Blue is just fabulous. I only wish manufacturers would give dark or light interior options with all colors.

Thank you, Mission_PGPX! Coming from a Vento and Endeavour, this does feel like a very welcome change!

Thank you! I agree, It's time India got over the beige craze!

Yes it truly does seem to be raining BMWs on team bhp. And its about time, considering they are the best of the lot to drive!

Your X3 looks hot venom_op. I wish I could have got space grey or blue with the interiors I have now.

Congrats, the M Sport steering looks great.

Do you know if this will work with a BMW F30 3 Series?

I have seen a few on sale on eBay.de. Where did you source your steering from?

It's so sad that they don't have this on even the M Sport variants as standard or even as an option.

akshay, i hope you don't mind me posting this on your thread.

I see this M-Sport steering wheel is available with Vagtune for a cool 1.8 Lakhs.

Hey guys. I'm in a bit of conundrum. So i just noticed that one of my tires has a screw stuck in it.

What should i do? Should i keep it there? Can it be patched up? It's in the middle of the tire and the TPMS is saying everything is fine!

Get it repaired like a normal tubeless. The TPMS will only warn if there is a loss in pressure, so seems like there is no air leaking. But its still a better idea to get it fixed.

Oh. Okay. I wasn't sure if Run Flats can be repaired or not. Awesome. I'll get it done today.

Also.. The tyre guy was talking about some mushroom culture for the tyre repair. What is he talking about?

Be very careful with this mushroom method. I think the tyre has to be removed from the rim for it. And with RFTs, most tire guys will scratch the rim while removing the RFT since they don't have the right machinery to do so.

So if the rim is required to be removed, just fix it the normal way.

Roger wilco! Will take it to the tyre guy tomorrow to check what the situation is. He's a professional and almost all the premium cars in my city go to him for tyre issues. So let's see what the scenario is and I'll take a call.

Thanks a lot Karan! That helped.

Have just ordered these LED fogs for the X3. Expect them to reach in a week, and will then get them installed.

I didn't like the fact that all the lights were white, and only the fogs yellow. The original LED fogs from the facelift were working out to be quite expensive, hence picked these up. The reviews say they improve lighting too as compared to normal fogs.

Akshay, this is sacrilege! Many of us X3 owners are waiting patiently for you updates, DIYs etc but no news as of now. Kindly accept my request and update the thread regularly. I, for one visit this thread everyday in case of some updates but alas none are to be found. Hope to see your update.
