But the car…I wash it every 7-10 days in winter (it was washed earlier that day). I’ve also recently come across CarPro Elixir. This is hands down the easiest and quickest post-wash touch up that will enhance gloss and make the car feel slick and give it a wet look. Highly recommend |

Tow hook mounts are mounted to the frame and don't touch any of the exterior bumper, much more sturdy and more solidly mounted. The mounts from Rho Plate are very well machined and super solid, unlike some of the cheap thin universal mounts available. Highly recommend them.

Looks good! If I were ever tempted to lower my X1 that would go great with it. I'm enjoying the ground clearance though, and don't plan on keeping the car when the lease is up.

I also enjoy the ground clearance, but love a lowered look. With these installed, the car is optically lowered without sacrificing too much on ground clearance (still have easy entry into and out of the garage, zero problems over speed bumps) |

I honestly think the X1 would look pretty nice lowered till the wheels slightly tuck into the fender well, but it would be completely impractical for me lol.

There’s another thread going discussing this but just a heads up, H and R USA have released lowering springs for the M35. 1.5 inch drop approximately.

Shipping to the USA for those three parts you mentioned will cost €300 (shipped with UPS). It might be cheaper if you order them in two or three separate orders (I saved about €50-60 in shipping when splitting the order in two parts. |

If you want to do it exactly the way BMW does it, you should follow JUN WOOK BANG posts about his installation. He did a great job. His method (the official way) will require both the front and rear part of the splitter.
You can also do it without using the rear part of the front splitter (that’s how I did it when I had it on my car). |

Has anyone tried such a rear trunk spoiler (https://www.ebay.com/itm/14545658910...mis&media=COPY)?
These kinds of "additions" are mounted only on double-sided tape? Last edited by JuRik99; 05-23-2024 at 07:23 AM.. |

But also, the spoiler you are asking about is WAY overpriced! There are better quality spoilers available for much cheaper. |
