Wow! Nice, looks almost the same as mine. I've exported it from US to Ukraine

Little update with the body kit, my previous front lip got destroyed by the car in front of me on a highway the other days (dropped boxes and stuff from his truck), so I decided to purchase a new one with the updated style for my car, pretty happy with the result.

Update:
- Dinan intake + RaceChip GTS + RaceChip XLR installed
- Roof rail + Window trim + front lower left and right chrome deleted (Gloss black vinyl wrap)
- Roof shark fin (antenna) blacked out
- Swapped out the front grille with the all black one (no M stripes anymore)
- Removed the red strip on the front lip

Soon:
- 15mm wheel spacers
- H&R lowering springs

Car looks much cleaner now!

I am not sure which year it was implemented in the UK, but I have various colours that I can select. Perhaps the selection of them came as part of an overall package when I ordered the car new (2020). I have forgotten.

All i need to say is everyone's car here is just beautiful <3

Hi, I installed multicolor ambient light for it, mine is a 2017 model and it came with only orange and white as well.

Coming from 18" OEM rims with RFT tires was a HUGE change. Not only improve the look that now is flush; the grip is INSANE! And also, the tires have a layer of sound insulation that reduces the noise, improving ride quality.

I have around 3,000 KM with this setup, and I absolutely love it! Better grip, stability, and look.

sick. What suspension?

Hey Mike!

Lowered springs from Eibach: https://eibachshop.com/index.php?p25...ings-bmw-x1-x2. Really happy with the height and especially with handling.

Now I'm close to changing the shock absorbers. I will be putting Bilstein B8 Plus: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-bilstein...t/22-251985kt/. That should "renew" my ride since OEM shocks are pretty much gone now with almost 40,000 km.

Nice! I’m really interested to hear your review of the b8 shocks. I tried them on my x5 and they were way too stiff so I switched to B6 but obviously different platform with different goals.

Well, I'm facing the same question. I'm toward the B8 since it's designed for lowered springs, whereas the B6 is more like OEM. However, I definitely don't want a ride too stiff, though.

When I had the B8, I emailed Bilstein and they told me that they are made for stock springs and since I had lowering springs, that's why there were so stiff.

I've read on other platforms people pared B8 with lowering springs and had good success so I don't know. I guess someone has to be the test dummy.

I've been reading about this, and the only difference between B6 and B8 is that B8 is shorter than B6. All the other capabilities remain the same.

That's why B8 is designed for lowered springs. When the car is lowered, you lose some suspension travel because the damper is slightly more closed than it is with the longer original spring.

Bottom line, if you have lowering springs, you need B8.

On the other hand, if you have stock springs, you should go for B4. Using Bilstein B6 or B8 dampers on standard springs will make the ride stiffer with very little benefit in stability and performance (compared to sport/lowering springs).

It's from a local mod shop in Hangzhou, China. I believe there's ton on AliExpress as well
