M4 M Performance Part numbers

Looks awesome!

Yes I got mine competed yesterday also part from one sill trim which hasn't come in! I've also taken the lip off temporarily as my drive way is too high (it's getting levelled soon!)

Here is the diffuser on my car make sure you follow the instructions for install or rattles many!

here is my car without the lip.

Can you please take pics of the full car so we can see the splitters in full context?

I'm assuming you do not have to have the front carbon inlays to install just the splitter itself.

Also does anyone know of the front black gloss grills are just the same as the standard M performance F32 ones? As heard they were?

[Neil McRae]

they are not the same as they come with the M4 logo, but we are using them to swap the outers per IND's DIY.

Exactly what I need and somewhat cheaper I would guess

you can get the F32 grills for $110 on Ebay...check out item # 331184516075

Its a dealer in NJ that sells them.. I bought the ones for my F30 from them. They are excellent quality and OEM. Then just switch as the slats as stated above.

Does anyone else feel that the M cars should already come with "M performance parts" stock? Seems like a bit of a scam to me.

M performance parts should be add ons for non-M cars to get closer to that M build. Of course this is just my opinion but I am curious what other folks think.

i think we should have a little more standard options on the M cars. Maybe chose between chrome or black grills/tailpipes/trim .... stuff like that and that just be part of our build and not an additional expense.

I agree. the black parts (side gills, kidneys) look much better IMO (but each to their own of course), so I'd love to have that as an option when ordering (only on real M-cars of course, otherwise every 3/4 would have them I guess).

I mean, I'm having my car delivered in (hopefully) 3 weeks, and first thing they'll do is strip away kidneys and side gills and paint the exhaust tips black. I pay for labor AND for the parts, and I don't really care about the original parts because I'm not going to mount them anyway - so I don't really bother storing that stuff.
and since labor here in Switzerland is quite expensive, I end up paying the price for the parts, and doubling that to have them fitted, whereas in the factory, I would only pay for the parts (hopefully just a small additional price than the original part, basically for them it's not too much more of cost if fitted on production line).

rip-off IMO. but as many buyers rush out and buy those things, why should they kill a cash cow...

I do think that CF looks better on and around the shifter. I am not sure that the cost is worth it, though.
