Back in April I feel the advertised 50.5k to 51k prices on Autotrader were mostly legitimate. If you were willing to ship you could get a good deal without negotiating. At that same time you'd see a couple cars listed for under 50k. All of those I checked into were bait and switch.
Now I...
Called around yesterday to 5 different popular places and they are all out of stock for the Eibach and aFe. Most of them said last week of June to 2nd week of July before they get any in.
Mission Performance is a legit BMW tuner. If they're posting this on their main page then they're at least getting somewhere. They're also the only tuning company beside BM3 who are active in the X3M forum. Considering we got an unlocked s58 before it was locked in 21 or the m3/m4 release.
Anyone have either the Eibach or the aFe front sway bars in stock? I'm going to do a track day in June and I was lazy about ordering the bar and it seems they are out of stock at a lot of places now. Was still hoping to find a vendor that had one or the other ready to ship.
If you're looking for a new 2 seat GT sports car with a V8 for 80k then it's decent. The engine is just detuned so with a pulley and a tune you're at like 550whp or more.
Wanted to add to this thread. Mine would pull left or right during moderate to hard acceleration as well. I've had the car up to 135mph so far and it didn't feel too bad but there was some float to it. I've had my X3M up to 160mph and it fells more solid.
Took it in for an alignment today...
Thanks for the video. I do find it interesting that the video author claims that he first production tire from these tests were produced in mid 2020. But BMW had vendor specific PS4S a year before that on certain models including the X3M. So then did BMW have multiple concurrent programs...
