Are you installing any cameras with it?

It's fairly straight forward (harness plugs
Right into your stock one). But need to swap over the optical cable if you have it.

Get a good set of nylon pry tools for the removal of the trim panels etc.

I have the OEM camera and NAV so everything should be good to go.

I purchased whole new projector assemblies. The halo rings on these are much brighter compared to the stock version that come equipped with xenon headlights from the factory. I had stock halogens before.

Thanks man, for the headlights that already have the halos, I believe their HID? Do we need a conversion kit/halo kit for them if we want to put in new white bulbs?

If you have HID's from the factory, you already have Halo's and will just need to replace the H8 bulb with a whiter / LED version.

Recently installed 2014 style mirror assemblies with M performance Carbon mirror caps. Couldn't be happier with the look!

No more dumbo ears from the 2012 version!

Catless down pipe + JB4

My little x1 got a lot faster over the holidays. Have installed new catless down pipe and BMS JB4.

Feels like a 6 cylinder car now. Will have dynograph results soon.

For any of you considering this upgrade, I highly recommend it. Makes the x1 drive much more sportier.

Yes my friend its plug and play, Depending on your current mirror options you will need either the 3 or 5 pin lin connectors to enable all functions. I just had powered mirrors so I still need to wire the turn indicators on the mirror to the turn signal on the fender. Will do when the sequential turn signals come in.

Hey Neil,

The ride is stiffer compared to stock, but i am totally okay with it. Even after driving 120 KM / Day for work commute.

I will post a video of the down pipe later this week. It actually sounds almost like stock. Maybe 10% increase in volume. Totally normal sounding. I am installing an AFE intake this week as well, which should increase the turbo sound.

AFE Intake installed

Took about an hour to install it. The turbo spool is quite noticeable now. Love hearing the BOV with it lol.
