I was a longtime bimmer guy up until recently. They are absolutely one of the best handling/dialed in cars out there. Just cannot get past how they look now though. MB are just as bad, design wise, imo. If you like it then congrats and enjoy.

Great DIY video. Thanks and will use this next weekend. Mine is a 2017 and unfortunately it's behind the glove box.

Just my 2 cents from painting calipers for my past 2 BMWs and now our MS and MX. For the bimmers, I use to remove wheels, mask everything up, brake cleaner then 1. Primer 2. 4 coats of high temp engine spray paint 3. Gloss coat. It was the fastest and best looking method bc the results were nice...

I used a chrome delete set from TesBro. Not super hard to install and car looks much nicer w/o chrome. You may be able to buy chrome vinyl is you don't want to remove the piece.

Little late but I just use plastidip for both my wife's MX and my MS. Even with Glossifier as a last coat, it still looks matte which I'm ok with. It's easy and can be peeled off if you decide you don't want it. Wife's MX is white and my S is red. All chrome delete for both cars.

Good luck. I'm def no expert so I can't argue with their statement. I hope it works out for you and I really wanted to love mine bc the adjustability is awesome. I don't think mine had the bottom out issue mentioned, it just felt like there was no give which was great on turns but not so great...

Also, just FYI, my set came with 16k front/10k rear. I checked and the BC set comes with 14k front/6k rear. That diff may have affected my ride.

Hi, That's tough. From my experience, coilovers in general are much stiffer than your OE ride. I tried dialing the compression all the way up, softest setting and it was still harsh, like I can feel every imperfection on the road. Freeways were not any better, like the car bounced around. Keep...

Hi everyone. After having it installed for a couple of months, I just couldn't get the ride as smooth as I wanted it. I then realized that the springs that came with the setup was much stiffer than it I would've preferred so I bought a new set of softer springs. Before I had a chance to install...

Bought a pre owned MX for the wife and this was attached to the rear. We have no need for it so I'm offering it for free. Just send me postage and I'll mail it out. It's just the camera, no cables bc I had to cut them.

Bought a pre owned X for my wife and found a couple of cables hanging from the rear view mirror area and a camera on the inside of the rear glass. Obviously, they're for cameras but what is the purpose for these, especially the rear facing one since the car has a backup camera. Also, was this OE...

Yes. These can be set at any height and I'd find a custom tuning shop for the install. It's straight forward but they'll know how to adjust it better.

That's what I thought. My BMW 640 is lower than this car but when you look underneath, the tesla has less ground clearance, about 4" so with passengers, I'm scraping on speed bumps.

I didn't. They just sent the standard for street use. Although i love the way it looks, I'm taking it back tomorrow to raise it 1/2". Apparently, MS' hang really low underneath so I'm scraping everywhere at 28" bottom of fender to ground. Probably why they moved to smart air.
