1 Week with my X3 - so far

[daniel 01nor]

So I had my X3 for 1 week now, it is a 2009 2.0D M-sport as is my nature I already chaged / Improved a few things
1: Changed the Headlight bulbs with Phillips Ultra Vision
2:Changed the Cabin Filter - what a dirty bugger
3:Bought 17" mags the 18"s are just horrible
4: fitted new wipers
5: Drained the sunroof (plugs at the bottom of the door panels), what filth
6:Booked her in for a Diag run at dealer and software updated check


So now I still need to do / find out a few things.

1: can my radio (business) play Mp3's or should i keep using the Aux
2:Find a radio upgrade to replace the current
3: Get Quote for De-Cat/ DPF removal, New downpie and ECU remap
4:Get my Car to ZF to have the TC serviced and make sure there are no surprizes with the X-Drive
5: Maybe make a appointment with the Carbon doctor and remove some of the filth.

So so much to do, little time and even less money

P.S. I am a huge fan of preventative maintenance

Got myself a x3 3.0d a few weeks back. I need to drain my sunroof plugs as well. Does the door pad need to come off?

And I just had my windows tinted yesterday. My airbag light has been on since then. Took the car to ART and had the error code checked and the light cancelled, but a few hours later and it's back on. Any advice?

Is your x3 manual or auto?

Congrats on the new car :inlove:

It's auto. Really enjoying the vehicle

Airbag light got sorted. The window tinter put a screw through the airbag wire. But had it sorted by the dealer
