After seeing the real coilovers available for the M2, I'm convinced that, if BMW are doing both springs and coils for the M3/4 and you're prices are accurate, that the rebranded KW kit will sell for $930 and that $3,195 will be for a true coilover system. The latter kit will be great for folks that didn't get EDC.

There is no way that a rebranded KW kit will cost 4x what the KW branded kit costs.

You may be right, all we can do is wait and see.

I'm surprised everyone likes that steering wheel - I like the normal one better. looks hideous how the thickness changes and the material changes.

reminds of one that was custom made and for sale. gross.

The style of the "M Performance" text on the wing makes it look like an eBay knock off.

It is difficult to visualize the CF parts when the demo vehicles have these red and blue stripes drawing away from the actual lines of the car. The cars actually look unattractive to me with these stickers. The M4 looks like a white 428 with a bunch of wannabe racer stickers.

I would advise BMW to remove the stickers when showing off the M performance add ons.

Hell no, the M Performance stripes is a must. These stripes are used by BMW since the 70's:







If you don't like the stripes, you don't like brand.

If you don't like the stripes, you don't like brand.
The 2002 has tiny stripes.

The M1 and the Batmobile in these pics are race cars. And so they have flare that is the entire body panel. On such shapes even a toilet paper picture will look awesome.

The M1 is not running its stickers along the body lines In this picture and so you can very easily glide your eye over its contours. And the Batmobile shape edges and contours also do not have that going on.

The M4 in this thread has NO racing body work and is most bland for photography to show its body contours in white. And on top of that you have stickers over the exact contour changes of the already bland side view. Hence, my statement.

I do much appreciate the brand and my favorite car is exactly that Batmobile in your picture.

However, for a customer imagining a road going car to own, we need to see these parts on a car that does not have these stickers.

Would you drive a white M4 with these red and blue stripes as a daily driver?

I don't like the new wider side sill black decal. I preferred the thiner profile of the previous one. It better enhanced the shape of the car. This one looks too much like the 335i M-Performance.

I am also not too keen on that big rear wing. The M-Performance CF trunk spoiler looks better IMO.

I am also not keen on the drop on that specific car, I find the rear too low relative to the front (at least it is adjustable).

But that is just me .
