Lifted BMW X3

[@tadcobert1307]

Hey Staff, nice ride, my mods were inspired by a pic of your car, saw it in early 2020, thanks for sharing the details!

[@Chroniclesofmycreation]

Thanks for watching man

[@TerpTalkGarage]

That's badass! I'm in Oregon as well lol!!! Might be doing an overland build today the silver 6spd X3 I'm buying.

[@sethklugman5215]

Do you ever do these mods for others? I would definitely be interested if yes

[@arielschoenfeld5407]

Looks good.6spped manual is cool too.

[@NattySmurf]

Peace. Could we get a update on how the car rides and look if you still got it? I currently just bought a x3 and in want to know how it feels after a while.

[@Chroniclesofmycreation]

Sorry sold it a few months after I made this video, bmw enthusiast wanted the manual lol

[@Establerinho]

Hi. Have you test it on the trails? Can you post a video?

[@joelanejo]

How much was the lift plus the tires? THanks it looks really awesome buddy !!

[@rallycrossbuilds]

I wanted to do this on my x3, could u explain the lift a little more?

[@Chroniclesofmycreation]

Its cool but honestly with the computer stuff, its not really the best idea. I had to always turn my traction control off if i wanted to turn tight. I will comment all the specs later

[@rallycrossbuilds]

@@Chroniclesofmycreation lol mine doesnt have traction control so thats not really a worry for me, was just wondering how easy/difficult of a project it would be

[@Chroniclesofmycreation]

The rear was pretty strait forward I just got custom coils that where 3 inches longer and made extended sway bar links for he front I got bc coil overs and made custom 3 inch spaced to put on top. Has to drill new camber whole on strut tower and made reinforcement plate also made an additional strut tower brace. I notched and reinforcement the subframe for tire clearance along with body wheel wells.

[@angelmedina541]

que medida son los rines o de que marca de auto eran

[@teoleo5120]

Hi, this system fits all the x3 until 2020?

[@blattmanntube]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing. I'm about to do something similar to mine. It's 2004 e83 diesel 6 speed manual and I'm thinking 20mm lift + 235-65R17. Can I ask if you did have any problems with the transfer case? Thanks in advance

[@Chroniclesofmycreation]

@blattmanntube I didnt have any issues, other than a light coming on every once snd awhile, can't remember what it was. I know it was never an issue though and pretty sure there is a mod out now to delete thst light.

[@paulsuciu4275]

Ce model de jante sunt si ce dimensiuni ? Mulțumesc

[@criscarter6066]

What is the fender and bumper how do I find that style?

[@terryk497]

Where did you get the custom rear springs from? you said they are 3 inches taller? Whats the offset on the rims? Are you using wheel spacers? Can show where you had to cut and reinforce the subframe. I want to get the same size tyres under my X3 but just want to know a little more about the complications of the install. Thanks

[@arnoldca8377]

Very nice setup... So the fronts have 3" spacers along with lift from the coilovers? What is the total lift amount? ... Im looking to do 2.5" lift with 31" tires. Oh and any requirements to drop the subframe to help with the new angle of the drive axles?

[@Nordiccars]

Could you link the suspension parts somewhere?

[@shirayluo2213]

hi Please tell me some details about how to raise this e83, especially the suspension thank you very much

[@itsmatka8384]

Looks good and mean. My only concern as I’ve been around and spent a lot of money at off road stuff...looks like the rear may bottom out...front looks great, but I do wonder on how much the steering rubs if at all. I’d suggest a body lift, just cuz I can’t see loading it up and not thinking I’m stressing something I hadn’t thought about.

[@munkydotorg]

It's a unibody so a body lift isn't an option.

[@itsmatka8384]

@@munkydotorg is there any lift? I had a 300TD Station Wagon and apparently shieks drove them in the dunes of saudi and such and they have an optional 3" bushing to lift the suspension. - sits on top of the coilover.

[@cerwin21]

can you give the BC coilver part number please. BC doesnt have anything to comment about suspension except stock replacement

[@cerwin21]

Did you use the factory rear springs or the one included with the Bc kit

[@androxr9777]

Where did you get the lift kit? I been looking online with no results.

[@florinfomin9528]

having these dimensions, does the transfer case not get damaged???

[@mmone1178]

Thanks so much for sharing very cool

[@chat_hanks]

man i really wanna do sort of the same thing with my 2018 but am just worried it will diminish driving quality too much

[@Tangster1205]

Great mods on the X3. ALways wanted to lift mine. Hows the highway driving?

[@jonathanbrumfiel9909]

Could you point me to a good guide on how I could do this myself? Thanks

[@mahmoudbayad5300]

May you tell me the kind of coilover which compatible with x3 e83

[@uub1k]

I have a x3 2004 looking to simply buy a lift kit and have it installed (don’t own a mechanic garage and im not a car head) how should I go about

[@munkydotorg]

I like it! I've got an 04 2.5i with a manual. Been curious what it would look like (and take) to do a lift. I probably won't do it, but its nice to see!

[@lsantosbmw]

Would a 265/70/17 fit with my factory wheels and 40mm spacer lift

[@Chroniclesofmycreation]

I would say yes.

[@chadjabes6141]

Man that shit is dope!!🔥🔥🔥 I wanna do that to mine soon!!

[@thatsmypurseidontknowyou4797]

I really wanna do this to my X3.... you said you had issues with turning tightly ... did you every figure out why?

[@Chroniclesofmycreation]

Yeah some stupid sensor in the transfer case, idk whst it was called.

[@ryannerios4975]

SSG_SMETZ how did you fix that issue?

[@josesifuentes-cervantes7704]

Im having problems turning wheels too sometimes do you remember sennsors name?

[@Chroniclesofmycreation]

@@josesifuentes-cervantes7704 I think is just the l wheel drive actuator. If you taken out it will and spin itself and should be good to go

[@yoniroberto1672]

Would you please tell me ,what kind lift kit and where can I get it

[@lukeburritos]

Did you have to extend the brake lines or anything like that

[@Chroniclesofmycreation]

Did not have to do any of that literally just put in BC corlovers. And spacers

[@TwoWheeledDecaf]

Love it!

[@arnelmullins8888]

I am looking to lift my 08. 6-speed as well. Can I get any info on that lift? Exactly what I am looking for. Thank you!

[@x343ngamingx2]

Did you have any check engine lights from the cat delete or? Cause I’m thinking about doing mine but not sure if there are any tuners that can fix it still not many people pay attention to the older x3s anymore 😂

[@Chroniclesofmycreation]

I honestly don't remember. There was a tune on it, someone does tunes.

[@marcjohnson5148]

That’s awesome!!!

[@tahxc2167]

Yo what time and tires are those

[@seanmcdonald9134]

Looking to do something similar can you please provide specs for the build and parts list too thanks

[@Chroniclesofmycreation]

Just some 3" spacers up front with bc coiler overs. Spacers on rear to. Need to reinforce strut bar

[@Chroniclesofmycreation]

Thwy were off a different model. They had to be worked a bit and fabbed up some

@@Chroniclesofmycreation copy forge is the company that makes that Kit, discontinued. Found them from a company in Russia. Just ordered all my stuff today. Got 31" tires to fit fine on stock height, with lil rub at full lock
