The LA port strike and crappy weather here in the bay area delayed my delivery for almost 3 weeks. I was finally able to pick it up 2 days ago.

And I'm LOVING it! It drives smooth and comfortable on the 19". I can definitely feel the kick with the addition of the MPPK. The thing looks MUCH better then it is in the photos or videos reviews. I went for a de-badged clean look. I'll also remove that M Performance sticker on the side skirts later, as it just looks out of place.

The little M badge(which I like a lot) that was behind the wheel well and above the air breather are missing, my dealer told me that it's not included on 15' M Sport model, don't know if that's a fact, anyone. If they should be there, I'll have to chat with my dealer.

Possible mods are gloss black the roof and exhausts.

Cell phone pics. Will take better ones with my DSLR when I got the chance...

US cars don't get the external badging. They all get ordered with the delete. I'm curious why yours don't have the rear badging though? Did you have them remove it?

[G30 B58]

+1 on the side badges for a US car. The missing rear badges are odd but you're better of w/o them and the side badges for that matter. Car looks great, ours is nearly identical but an F32 and no MPPK.

I opted not to the include the rear badges as I mentioned in my first post.

Good to know. Thanks guys.

Who did the de-badging, the dealer or the port? Didn't know either would do it for you.

Nice ride! can't wait for spring to get the 19's on!

[USC2000]

Nice car. Curious to see how it will look with the gloss black roof.

I recently picked up a 3GT M sport in silver love it.

I was not aware that the MPPK was available in the states. Do you have a part number? and a price?

I've had PPK cars in the past and they definitely have more low-end grunt do you find that the case with the GT?

Thanks

What Mike L said.

And yes about the MPPK.

Great looking car! I've spent time on the BMW site....how do you add the carbon fiber mirror caps? I don't see it as a build option. Is that something you ordered through the dealer?

I used to see a link for accessories on the build site, but I'm not seeing it now...just curious...thanks

Thanks. Yes, the mirror caps does not show up in the official config, I didn't know that until when I was configuring mine with my dealer with his internal BMW ordering/config system. The black grill is also available.

Are you sure? I was told it wasn't when I picked up my car and therefore got the Chinese ones. If the BMW ones are available, I'll order those immediately. F34 grilles and F30 grilles are not interchangeable.

I'm pretty sure. That's the only reason I mentioned the black grill in other post/thread. I don't know why some dealer doesn't offer and some do. And I'm very well aware that the grills are not interchangeable between models.

I just ordered my 2015 gt in California. I was told that the black kidneys are not an option for the gt. I can't find oem black kidneys for the gt anywhere on the internet. Anybody else have any different info??

BMW doesn't sell them. I have a set of Chinese ones on my car for now until I have the stockers painted. Fit isn't perfect, but it'll do for a couple months.

[ElBlanco]

Still looks great! Do you know if the Chinese grills are the nicest ones out there for aftermarket. Just curious. I haven't found many reviews for aftermarket grills for the gt.

I think they're the only ones out there. I haven't seen any others. Thats why I'm having the stock ones painted gloss black. I really don't like the matte look.

[thx217]

Here's a set. The seller doubled the price for some reason.

[Mike_L]

Damn. I paid $80 for a set of stockers and $100 for painting. They want twice that. They can keep them.

[thx217]

Funny that they didn't change the price on that matte ones. This was the price for the gloss black ones.
