I too love the black trim but it will look good with the painted trim too.

Thanks Man!!

The black actually grew on me after time and as stated before Im still sketch about getting them painted. Whats funny is that now that it's as low as it is a lot of people do not realize its a X3 and think its a wagon. People Ive run into lately think the black trim and skirts is a body kit of some sort lol

Wagon status achieved
A couple days ago at work. Needs moar lows...coming this weekend

Man you're so lucky living where you are, i could only dream about going that low on mine, the roads where i live are awful haha. I'll probably go for e46 coils too but ill probably stay at the height you are at now and throw 18s on. Really pumped to see how the painted skirts look! I kinda fell in love with the black after awhile too.

Side note, have you ever considered going down to one of the the euro shows around the states like sowo?

Trust me the roads out here in Houston are not the greatest. Ive had my fair share of clinched buttcheek moments. Yeah man you should def switch over to the E46 setup. The amount of lows youll get and the ride quality is awsome even for this cheap test phase setup. I too fell inlove with the black lol..It kinda just grows on you.

[SoLOwX3]

Thinking about picking these up for now..what do you guys think? I really dont want to run 19s again but the price though.

this is cool, i think the x5 wheels would work well, even though theyre not x3 wheels it would keep it looking oem-ish.

[DeMaroE46]

Your X3 look sgreat! I love the X5 wheels, and that is a great price. It would look OEM+. For that price, I would go for it, if you don't like it you could make profit on the wheels lol

Yes to the claws.

Thanks fellas and yeah I decided to pick them up. Ill be getting them after work. Now I need to figure out what tire size to run...thinking a 215 up front and 245 rear with a decent sidewall. I was running 215s on a 9.5 and 255s on a 11 on last setup with lower offset. Any suggustions? Appreciate all the love and sugestions brochachos

Glad to see this thread is back on track! I didn't know e46 coilovers can work for you car. So what brand did you get?

Sure does brochacho and the brand is unknown. A buddy of mine sell parts and I shot him a text saying "Hey I need E46 setup", he shot me a price 3 days later they were here. Didnt care what brand since it was just a test phase to see if they work. Once these blow Ill go with a waaaaaay better setup but for now they work and it wasnt money wasted. If I would have spent a ton of money on a setup that didnt work I would have been pissed. Wouldnt have been able to make any money back because as you know..Houston is the city of lowballers and shot callers.

Had my sidekick gas her up.



Went and picked these up. 19x10 spuare setup +40 weak but will work for now. Couldnt pass up the deal.


Then went and put in work on my buddies bagged Accord to get new wheels to fit. 20x11/9.5
