Items that I needed to source to complete the look was F97 X3m roof lid, and I wanted the Optional Mesh design rim, so I started hunting for those.
Kit took 2 months to arrive and 6 weeks to get it all done, sprayed, etc.
I had some clear coat damage on bonnet due to car port chemical damage at the recent holiday venue I visited. Decided to respray the bonnet as well.
The previous owner did some horrendus PDR repairs on the boot, which was only visible at some angles, so I got that done properly as well.

@FiRi@Rennzport did you get everything done at classic? How's their work? (Painting, matching and blending)
Colour matching and blending were done properly. No fault there. Just took longer than anticapted.
I would suggest also getting in touch with @TMP TOYS if you looking for some panel work done.
Before completion, we ran into an issue with the new headlights not being compatible due to the bumper being for a pre lci, and the headlights an lci model.
This issue, unfortunately, will only be resolved in 2 months' time when a replacement bumper arrives.
Once we collected, it was off to TMSS to get the exhaust recentered for the new X3M lci diffuser and a set of 101mm burnt titanium look tailpieces. These replaced the carbon 90mm M perf tailpieces.

The swirls on the entire car drove me insane, and 3 weeks later, I decided to tackle it myself as I couldn't send it in for a professional detail.
Broke out the detailing DA polisher, some cutting, polishing pads and 3D 510 and 520 compounds.
Prepping involved : (no pics, unfortunately)
1. Prerinse folowing by ph neutral snowfoam
2. Then iron out sprayed over entire car
3. 3 bucket wash method
4. Clay bared the entire car
5. Another round of snowfoam and rinced off
6. I parked into the Glassbox for the tough work, and at my age, my back doesn't like it
Some before pics so you can see what i was dealing with.

Dankie gentleman. I love the new look, and I can't wait for the headlights to go on.

That front bumper is hell aggressive and those rims are IMO the best suited for the X3...love them! Even with pre-LCI headlights, it still looks awesome!

Brilliant as usual Firi! 😍
Well done.
Epic results on the paint correction as well 😎
Personally not a fan of diamond grilles and think the dual slat will suit the M kit so much better 👌
