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

tareemaa · 11-04-2015, 03:48 PM

I want that steering wheel!

8600RPM · 11-04-2015, 04:39 PM

Geez is m performance suspension really necessary for this car? My f80 m3 handled ridiculously well and I cant imagine anyone needing more on this car. Being lowered is cool while retaining factor backing but aside from that I just think these money making ventures are crazy as maybe .001 percent of m3 drivers need a better suspension on these cars. Heck the e92 m3 suspension was amazing and the overall chassis was not a weak point for amazing lap times. Brakes were.

Most will be getting it for the lowered looks rather than a performance gain.

Something's wrong here-- it shows top and side view cameras for $7,500?

… and also requires ZEC for $4,000 ...

Those are some very expensive camera views for sure!

Also, why go to SEMA to look at BMW M-Performance Parts that you can see at any dealer ?!?!?!?!

G4BR13L · 11-05-2015, 01:09 AM

Do you really think that a lot of dealers have every car in the showroom with all these different possible configurations? If so you must be very lucky to live near such a rich dealer that rips of his customers to be able to pay for all these BMW cars.

Then I am not even talking about the fact that the new performance parts are going to be released mid-2016.

I'd be frankly shocked if it was only $1k considering the front lip and splitters cost about that much. Factoring in M taxes, I think it'll be closer to $2k.

You are correct, great opportunity to see the new MPP. It is just that SEMA is so much more than OEM as there are probably 50+ BMW suppliers there.

The SEMA Show routinely brings together more than 2,000 exhibitors, occupying in excess of 10,000 booths.

A1PericoM3 · 11-05-2015, 09:32 AM

M3/M4 springs released December 2015 will cost $930, and Adjustable coils released spring of 2016 will cost $3,195. This is from a buddy of mine that heard this directly from a MPerformance Rep at SEMA.

yellowssm · 11-05-2015, 10:26 AM

$3200? Pass for even $2000. I'd rather get true coilovers for that price

ken1137 · 11-05-2015, 10:31 AM

I'm not into stripes or wings on BMWs for the street. However, the pics dont do this car justice. It was amazing to see closeup.

agreed, the springs however interest me.

G4BR13L · 11-05-2015, 12:30 PM

What's the street price for the KW HAS? Because I guess that these are similar, right?

blinkme323 · 11-05-2015, 02:41 PM

There has been talk in a few other threads about dealer-installed retrofits for the upcoming competition package. Is it possible that some of this is related?

I think its safe to say that the springs will be the same found on MY2018 ZCP

BimmerVinyl · 11-05-2015, 03:32 PM

The 20mm makes all the difference! Looks meaner

What springs? I haven't seen any info on springs, just coilovers

Hopefully what we are seeing on this M4 are the $930 springs (Height Adjustable Springs). They certainly aren't coilovers.

Even with BMW tax I simply can't see them offering a HAS kit for $3,200. Gives me hope that we'll still see an EDC compatible full coilover setup from the factory.

G4BR13L · 11-06-2015, 01:37 AM

I wonder why BMW did not use the CCB's on this car.

$800USD... or 25% of what the projected price of the BMW branded units are.

That can't be right. At $3200, it's twice the price of the Dinan kit.

Any word on of these will work with non-EDC cars?
