Hello, 

My name is David and I am the owner of a new to me x4m in sophistico grey! 
i love the car, i changed from a silverstone ii f80 m4. 
I miss my m4, but fair to say the x4m is a fantastic all rounder. Except it’s sooo quiet. Any tips on exhaust mods. I see a lot on other forums but mostly from users in the USA who don’t have the dreaded OPF filters. Not sure a res-delete would have the gains I am after; and not sure I want to code and remove the OPF given warranty concerns? 

tips welcome. Photos attached 😉

God afternoon David and welcome to the forum. 
very nice car and a good colour choice!

it’s been a while since I modded exhausts but I’m sure power flow or similar can give you what you need

Hi David

Welcome to the Forum

Very tasty looking car as the power plant is basically the same as the M4 what about exploring an exhaust swap ?

I would think Centre box back would be pretty much the same. just how that could effect warranty I am not sure if all parts are OEM

Just thinking out loud 

Dave

The mid pipe delete is a popular option, however, I am not sure it would give me the sound I am after? Given the opf filters are there still. 
 

ideally I would love a video of a car with the mid pipe delete and the oem exhaust and opfs intact. 
 

i am not sure how popular the x4ms are in the UK or Europe for that matter. There was an abundance of mods for my m4!

BMW brought Range Rover to understand 4x4's and the market. Then the X5 started the BMW SUV's off late 90's 4.4 V8 and 3.0d they had M cars in M3 M5 flavour but never the X series though they produced the 4.6is to grab the fastest SUV title from Porsche in 2002 (still got mine). They also built 5, X5 Leman 6.0 V12 powered they were test bed cars never released, love to find one of those

An X5M didn't appear until 2009/10 the early cars were always pretty raucus particularly mid range and above and with centre box removal and an X pipe replacement (started in the USA) loud

As the X4 didn't appear till 2014 it seems thhe designers have gone stealth concious and quiet the current X3 4.0iM is a quiet cars

May be one of the other Forums will come up with a Video but I have not heard of or seen one 

Good Luck with the search

Enjoy that X4M

Dave

      Driver door stuck locked

      Morning Cindy Sorry cant open your Video Take a look at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will call up your Model the look in the Body and Trim sections for what you need. The site is an online BMW parts list as used by dealers when you have the part number double click it and it will show a list of alternates and other models it was used on As already said from your description the actuator has failed (no inner or outer handles working) I have seen several over the years. There are 2 ways I know of to get the door card off (1) with the door shut the drivers seat needs to be removed or tipped on it's side and then yo can lever off the door card as the door is closed you will break some of the plastic clips so have spares ready. This will expose the door inner skin and the lever that attaches to the inner door handle operating cable. This is the lever that needs a wack to open the door. Method (2) lower the window prise the door trim away along the top edge and back edge (lock edge) you should be able to get enough space to see the lever with the cable attached on the inside of the door, put a long screw driver or pry bar on it push it down and give it a good wack. Life will be so much easier with the door open. Door card off peel back the membrane carefully undo the screws holding the actuator pop out the door button un-hook the inner cable and remove the actuator . The actuator is the Black part in the photo you can see the small lever and part 1 in the diagram Dave
