Looks good. Our X3 has done very well in winter conditions, but rock chips from sanding the roads are taking a toll after 8 years.

In an earlier post you mentioned non NJ German build. New Jersey? North Carolina? Our X3 was built in Austria by a contractor, Magna Steyr, and I had thought all the E83s were.

i thought the Spartanburg plant was nj but looks like your right, also I misread the 2010+ is us apparently x3 was a lot different than x5

Hey guys been a while since I have updated =] got some nice Thule roof racks and grabbed another set of wheels I'm going to refinish for next summer !

I'm actually super interested in the city lights, just noticed the gf's e83 already has the openings for them in the reflector, but wondering where/from what other vehicle you get the bulb carriers and connectors.

I had some hanging around I forgot from what but you can buy 194 holders off eBay mine are just wired to the fog lights

So no special et fingers like on e32/34/30 etc required? Very cool.
I'd probably do them like my e34 by disconnecting the corner park lead and leaving those corner bulbs as turn signal only.

Finally got my nav retro all done =] works great really love the mk4 BMW nav with the updates it just as good as any smart phone =]

Nice updates, mine is barebones but looking to add a sport wheel. You know if steering wheel remotes would work?

Yessir everything still works
