mmmmmmm...black kidneys, spoiler and rear diffuser. The splitter looks awesome too, but it also looks like it's going to cost an arm and a leg.

Race_Doc11 · 03-06-2014, 08:56 PM

For me the splitters, wing and the diffuser are a must. I wonder how the performance exhaust will sound

Sorry, I have to totally disagree on this (or were you being sarcastic?).
They look like the super cheap add on LED fog lamps that I see people putting on their older cars and pickups to make them look new.
You can buy these at any auto parts store or amazon.

Looks as tacked on as Hamann parts. Those skirts work better on the non-Ms.

Jay-K · 03-06-2014, 10:12 PM

kicking away aftermarkets.

Instagrammed it already! #mstripes

Akra exhaust??

Also, why make the front lip so complicated with the CF going half way up the front intakes?

Since the fin goes all the way up the intake, it would look ridiculous if the CF would stop half way no?

Thanks. The tips in the pics look exactly like Akra CF tips.
The MPE is going to be SICK money then since there'll be an //M tax on TOP OF the Akra price.

I thought it would look like the lip o the "concept" car that was shown in Pebble Beach. That was a nice lip.

...now where is the M3 safety car? I'm sure that will score a ton more likes.

Actually the M5 and M6 MPE is LESS than the comparable Akra version. And you can residualize it on a lease... Welcome to the future!

Good to know, especially since most dealers will discount them.
Do they sound the same?

F30form · 03-07-2014, 10:13 AM

M Performance sounds better, IMHO. There is better QC with BMWs version as well. They have higher tolerance standards, which means you will have less variation and better fit from one exhaust to another.

I'd have a hard time switching out the exhaust without hearing the stock version first.

Inuyasha · 03-07-2014, 10:53 AM

MotoGP!!! Marc Marquez is gonna take it again this year!

I was indecisive about which model to buy M3 or M4. Since M4 is safety car and sweet M parts... I'm going M4. I'm big motogp fan!

Randy M · 03-07-2014, 11:32 AM

Before he does that he may want his broken leg to heal up.

Inuyasha · 03-07-2014, 05:40 PM

No prob, he'll make a full recovery by Qatar ; )

Last M Performance exhaust was Iconel (Inconel), wasn't it? Do we know what material this will be?

SCOTT26 · 03-08-2014, 03:22 PM

Announcement of M Performance accessories for the M3 and M4 coming soon.
In time for the M Festival.
