[Updated with Q&A] - New M4 M Performance Parts at SEMA 2015

OMRITIME · 11-03-2015, 03:03 AM

So
From the picture I can see the new front lip made from carbon.... (I've got the plastic..)

I can't understand if it's new design for the Parts or they add new wing and new bigger emblem above the side skirt
The front looks the same....

Anyone have any questions? Post them up if you do.

Biggest questions for me are is there a power increase M performance kit coming for F80? And is the suspension M performance part available for F80 (and is it compatible with adaptive suspension for existing f80s)?? what about other parts like side sills and alcantara & carbon fiber armrest for the f80 similar to M2?

CSanto · 11-03-2015, 06:15 AM

I really hope the F80 gets the same treatment. I dont need a rear wing...but the suspension etc.

Also does anyone find it odd that BMW is releasing these parts when the ZCP will be available?
Where does that M coilover suspension fit vs the tweaks to the ZCP pack suspension?

The through-flow rear spoiler. Nyet Nyet Nyet.
I'll stick with my current non-through-flow M-performance unit, thank you!

Why is the new 340i getting a power upgrade option and everyone has pretty much said that the M3/M4 ZCP won't get a power bump? Kinda makes me hope more for a power bump for M4

Minus the graphics, the wing is more tasteful than the wing on the F82 GTS. Not sure if it is as functional though, due to the lack of adjustability.

Yes, I'm wondering if the coilovers are the ones from the M4 GTS? And I'm assuming it'll fit the F80? Is it for EDC and non-EDC cars? Thanks

Agreed. It's going to take some getting used to. At first glance I thought this was just some product from some shop shown at SEMA - Not the BMW "M Performance" brand.

On a plus note, at least they are selling the spoiler from the GTS without having to pay some extraordinary high cost due to shipping and limited production numbers (but we all know it's going to cost $4K+)

Don't think it's the same spoiler as the GTS.

Indeed. Looks like "M Transformer".

I want the coilover suspension on the F80. I wonder if EDC will still work if it is fitted?

4PIPE · 11-03-2015, 09:43 AM

The m4 really lacks downforce.....said no one ever

classyfast · 11-03-2015, 11:34 AM

Why are all these spoilers rice as hell? None look good on this car at all.

lsturbointeg · 11-03-2015, 11:56 AM

not feeling that spoiler!

MFNATIK · 11-03-2015, 12:56 PM

I like the new spoiler. Looks cleaner than the GTS spoiler. Definitely for the track guys tho. Not needed for the street lol.

raysspl · 11-03-2015, 01:14 PM

That wing is forever visually ugly

Yes--it will fit F80. However, I picked my diffuser up from RW Carbon for $495.00. Looks exactly the same as OEM. Fitment is about 95% and took me 30 min to install myself. Lots of positive reviews from RW Carbon and very high quality.

HOWEVER, it deletes the hands free trunk operation which was a surprise to me. Oh well...I still love it. Form over function

Sideblades/side vent spears are available at your local BMW Center but took me 7 weeks for them to arrive. I'd recommend IND Distributing.

That new wing is no bueno.

G4BR13L · 11-03-2015, 02:38 PM

I am normally not for "wings" but I actually like this one!

I want that coilover
