Anyone else having issues with Appreciating and quoting posts?
I know there is better dashcams but I wanted the integrated look and the easy installation without extra wires.
On the weekend I'll install the wire for the rear camera.
Ravenous666 wroteAre aftermarket dash cams "better" than the one that comes with the X3, at least my 2023 has one?Installed the Megachip USA mudflaps an a FitcamX dashcam (currently only the front).

Real dashcams permanently record so you can see the whole time prior an incident.
Ravenous666 wroteok makes senseThe drive recorder is not the best quality and only records in case of an accident or if you trigger a 60s recording manually.

EricVR4 wroteI would love to hear some details on how the sound improved. I have no clue on these things but I assume it increased the induction noise only and if I'm correct, can you tell me if it makes the existing sound more prominent or did it change how it sounds completely? I've been considering one of these but based on the available information on it, I haven't seen any evidence of any noticeable benefit given the price. For what they are charging for it, I would think they would at least have some videos or something available. I agree, it looks amazing but for me, I don't really care about what it looks like under the hood.While waiting for the DTE module to get here, the ArmaSpeed intake showed up. Ridiculous pricing for an intake, but the quality and fitment is there, and I like how it looks more or less stock. Sounds great too, not obnoxiously loud but definitely opens it up quite a bit.
Locotiki wroteIt just makes the induction noise louder, you can hear the suction/spooling more and you can hear the excess boost bleed off whenever you let off the throttle. Since these don't have diverter or blow-off valves it's not exactly the same, but it's a similar sound.EricVR4 wroteI would love to hear some details on how the sound improved.

They do increase hp/tq a little bit but it would be more noticeable if you had a tune and high-flow cat of some kind. Otherwise it's mostly just for the sound.

afc wroteLooking good! The sun glasses holder is brilliant. Was it easy to install?I took delivery of my 2025 X3 in Brooklyn Grey with the M Sport and Premium packages earlier this week. Living in Manhattan, finding a place where I can work on my car for a few hours can be challenging. Thankfully, the manager of the garage where I park is a great guy and was able to help me out. I ordered most of the parts a week or so before taking delivery and set aside some time today to install a few upgrades:

kimona wroteThanks! It was very easy to install. The Amazon page I linked has an installation video if you’re interested. All you need is a flathead and philips screwdriver.afc wroteLooking good!
