I know IND doesn't set the prices but the prices on tgose winglets is laughable....If that ends up being the price BMW won't sell many of those.

IMO there is no reason to get the BMW MPE Front Winglet Set.

You can barely notice them on the vehicle! The front and side winglets I am definitely not getting.

There was a thread a few days ago with a AW and MPE parts. The first 3 pictures I did not even notice the front winglets on the car.

This is something I am certainly going aftermarket on. I want a non carbon fiber full front lip.

My list of parts to get:

BMW rear spoiler
BMW rear diffuser
BMW mirror covers
BMW MPE coilovers
BMW kidney grills
BMW side grill
Aftermarket front lip
Aftermarket side skirts (similar to MPE BMW M4)

MSRP in Germany is about €1000 per set so seems about right.

I guarantee someone's working on a front lip for it right now.

This is exactly what I want. Don't know how long it's going to take me though.

I also want an exhaust...maybe Akra or Lightweight...

And, I know this is polarizing, but I will probably wrap the AW roof gloss black. I think it will look good, although not everyone's cup of tea.

I suspect I'm going to buy that whole list as well minus the winglets.

Waiting to see what Manhart in Germany offer in terms of remapping

I might end up painting my own side markers and rear reflectors. Haven't decided yet.

Don't forget body matched front reflectors and black rear reflectors.

I forgot that I'm going to try to do a exhaust mod similar to the mod I did with my e90 m3. It sounded really good just spending $300 total on the exhaust and welding needed.

Once people start selling their oem M2 exhaust I'm going to purchase one of those to experiment on it. If I can get a sound similar to the BMW MPE exhaust I will be a happy camper and pocket ~$4k.

Why in the world are the kidneys 325?

I'm thinking Dinan should have a remap pretty quickly since they've got some extensive time in on the M235i.

I wonder if that's just a place filler right now. The regular 2 series performance grilles are $60.00 per side.

No, they are twice the cost in Europe too for some reason.

Sounds about right. Getbmwparts has M3/4 listed at $360 but are on sale for $288. I doubt M2 kidneys (when they come out) will be discounted given their high demand.

Why an M tax on the kidneys only? They're not CF. All other parts match price from like parts. I guess you pay per slat. I'll use black nail polish on the stock grills before I pay that much for these. It's the fucking principle. Haha

I don't know if they are two parts as on the bigger cars. Then you can just get the series M Performance part and change out the slats.

[jasonheaddinG]

I saw they were taking preorders for these items a few days ago. Any idea when they will have the paint matched reflectors? As a future LBB owner, it is high on my list..

IMO, black kidneys transform the face of any BMW in a good way. So, $325 ain't bad. I have a problem with $1000 CF rear diffuser when then car comes standard with a really nice black one. And $2300 on a F/R winglet set.....Yeah, they can go pound sand.

[caminator]

They're getting these parts direct from BMW right? So I should be able to get them through the dealership? I ask because I'm not too excited at the idea of having them shipped from the US back to Europe when they are most likely manufactured here.
