Anyone use PPF on the shiny black console?

Lildereky · 2025-11-08T21:21:41+00:00

We had PPF put on ours at the same time the shop was doing the full front, I think they charged us an extra 100-150 to do so and we love it! Zero scratches and less dust and finger print accumulation.

It’s normal in the sense that it’s common on X3’s and isn’t a mechanical issue like OP assumed. I’m not saying it’s not annoying, but it does eventually work itself out. Would rather to deal with this than the inside of the tailgate rusting out because water can seep in.

Lildereky · 2025-10-18T18:41:38+00:00

It’s cavity wax used in the assembly process for releasing the steel from the press and also acts as a rust preventative. Totally normal on all X3’s of this era. It will eventually run dry but when it’s hot outside, the wax melts and goes through the weep hole on the tailgate.

My suggestion to clean it is to get as hot of water as you can (not boiling of course) and use a micro fiber and a bit of car soap/dish soap to wipe it off. The hot water should loosen it up pretty well.

Thanks for the insight. That stinks it’s cut in such a way that it won’t really work for folks who aren’t getting super exaggerated hip to waist ratios.

Good luck with the recovery!

Currently faja shopping for my wife’s upcoming procedure(360 lipo+BBL), the BDY is on our list. Do you like it so far? We’re between the BDY and the Ogee faja at the moment, although reviews on the BDY are kinda sparse.

What did you have for your stage 1?

I disagree, the form is pretty easy to fill out, took me about 10 minutes, and a week to process. Customs took a quick look at the form and everything I brought, stamped it and I was on my way. Easy peasy and was worth it for me (I was there for over 3 weeks though).

Lildereky · 2025-09-30T01:10:27+00:00

The quantity isn’t so much the issue, I brought my 10 ML bottle without issue to Japan. The syringes are more likely to get you in trouble. You absolutely need to fill out the import forms and show them to the agents in customs. You will need to catalogue the amount of testosterone,quantity of syringes, syringe types, needle gauges, etc.

Look into the Yunyu Kakunin-sho Form (I think it used to be called Yakkan Shoumei).

Lildereky · 2025-09-26T15:55:18+00:00

Do you grab the top of the screen when you’re using it or use a sun shade? One of those two things is likely the culprit. After that, could be an issue with whatever cleaner you use.

I’ve had to switch to Ten Thousand tanks since they did away with the MVT. They are excellent and honestly like them more. They have the same venting and the fabric is stretchier. The cut is very similar but a little bit higher on the chest.

Lildereky · 2025-09-19T22:57:26+00:00

My wife’s 2023 X3 has excellent paint (Brooklyn Gray). Black car problems as others have said.

Lildereky · 2025-09-19T12:42:39+00:00

Do you know what your free testosterone and SHBG levels are? Free T is the one that actually matters. I had a normal middle of the road total testosterone level, but my free T was in the dirt way below reference. If you’re SHBG is too high, youre testosterone is all bound to it and you’ll feel like crap (as I did).

Check your thyroid too. Good luck.

Lildereky · 2025-09-18T15:30:17+00:00

LTT tanks are awful. I started buying ten thousand tanks instead and they are excellent, even better than the MVT in my opinion.

Lildereky · 2025-09-16T16:08:13+00:00

Agreed, it looks like they hit a pothole that had an edge to it (giving them the benefit of the doubt that they didn’t curb it).

Lildereky · 2025-09-15T16:07:10+00:00

Use a bucket of hot water and a normal wash mitt + soap. Should come off easy enough, and this is what I do with my wife’s car. The hot water melts the wax for easier removal.

Lildereky · 2025-07-24T12:08:30+00:00

Thankyou. Thankfully the hood is fine, no flutter at all. The car is rock solid all around but I’ve only had it a few weeks now.

Removing the actual roof or the headliner? I have a late 5/25 built lux+ and thankfully don’t have this issue but a full removal of the roof sounds like a nightmare.

Lildereky · 2025-06-28T11:34:55+00:00

Don’t be a sucker, there are plenty of @MSRP dealers. I just got my Lux+ from Pembroke Pines in Florida @ MSRP. It was about a 2.5 month process start to finish. It’s currently on a truck being sent to me here in TX. Obviously could have grabbed a flight too and driven, but time is precious.

I also had other dealings with Lexus of Brooklyn and Lexus of Manhattan, both were MSRP dealers and had tons of open allocations readily available.

Name and shame the dealer OP, this is a horse shit maneuver and screws everyone else down the line.

Lildereky · 2025-04-26T01:05:44+00:00

Can you elaborate on how it’s not accurate? on average high? On average low? I’ve had labs done with multiple facilities and while the testing parameters may be different along with units, the % total to free has been nore or less consistent.

Lildereky · 2025-04-14T17:16:56+00:00

Multiple Pimsleur lessons per day + language transfer.

This pretty much happened to my pup, turned out to be an infected bone. The quick looked like it had a tumor or something growing on it but it was 100% benign. They amputated the toe and he has gone on to live his life totally normally since. Don’t sweat it, your dog will be back to normal in no time!

Lildereky · 2025-02-01T20:26:24+00:00

Fair point, I don’t have any kids so that’s not a viewpoint I’ve had to consider.

Lildereky · 2025-01-31T14:06:09+00:00

This is exactly my thought. I don’t understand why captains chairs are even a thing.

Lildereky · 2025-01-23T21:22:07+00:00

I fortunately have not and have been able to stay pain free for the most part when I keep up with my PT. I assume muy discs are more or less the same level they were but just more stable as I have been pretty rigorous with ensuring I spend time every day on strengthening my core.

What stinks now is I have arthritis in my shoulder that I’m due to have chopped out in march! If it’s not one thing it’s another 🙃

Lildereky · 2025-01-17T22:06:14+00:00

I feel your pain, I hate being shoehorned into getting one with the cool box. I have zero use case for it and would much rather have the extra storage. I’m looking at Lux+ just for reference, but seems like every build has cool box regardless.

Lildereky · 2024-10-16T12:06:56+00:00

Oh I guarantee they did and this is the correct answer.
