Has anyone got an idea of how much the Performance Kit is?

I think it has the front and rear splitters, rear spoiler, side sills and front grilles.

As much as I like the look of the 20" wheels, I don't think I could justify them.

I had a quote recently from Stratstone

Break down as follows :-

Front splitter, £360.84
Rear boot spoiler, £151.67
Sills, £120.84 x2
Sill m sport sticker £80.42 !!
Rear diffuser £389.17
Front black grilles, £35.50 x2

Plus fitting ..

Seems like I'll either need to haggle with the parts department or persuade my wife of the enhanced performance, BMW styling and great value for money!

I reckon somewhere along the line there's going to be some compromise

I'm just hoping there's a better price out there...

Hi Steve

Can I just ask which Stratestone branch this was? We're awaiting the delivery of our 330d M Sport at the end of the month and did go for the wheels in the deal but felt we could definitely get the kit for a more reasonable price than quoted. Be good to see if we can get some price matches!

Cheers

Thanks, will look into it

Dealer I spoke with suggested kit supplied with car and painted /fitted minus 20% on the kit car discount was negotiable

[saintee1234]

I was trying my best with the price negotiations and they wouldn't budge for me! Got a cracking deal on the car itself though so maybe that's why!
Fitting the kit isn't a problem so just don't want to be paying over the odds for the parts. Over 3k for some side skirts, bumper, diffuser, grilles, spoiler and mirror covers seemed a bit extreme even if that was them fitted.

I negotiated with the parts dept and managed to get £800 plus vat for the kit, £200 fitting and £250 painting. The spoiler and black grill came seperately though (ordered them with the car), can't remember how much exactly.

I also didn't bother with the 20's as initially ordered the 19's and didn't want to change them, I've posted some phots and many of the comments were supportive of the 19's anyway so I'm not in a hurry to change them just yet:

That's good to hear. At least there seems to be room to negotiate.

I had a test drive in a 330 s-drive with the full kit which included the 20" wheels. After giving it a good blast over some back roads I can see why everyone raves about those extra couple of cylinders. Trouble was the wheels seemed to find every imperfection in the road which reminded me I needed to make a dental appointment

I've already negotiated with my wife and made one concession on colour. Now to see what the dealership can do
