I have a no-line, so they had to drop the sub-frame to install new ARBs FRONT and REAR. Alignment was $140. If I had a M Performance, $800 would've been the target price range. The f'in ARB's (if you go under and see them) are a pain to get to.

Sport and M Sport have the same suspension, but yes they have different stabilizer bars compared to the standard car or the Luxury and Modern lines along with stiffer springs and etc. |

Those labor times are often short as well. The BBK requires larger dish shields for the 328, and that means you have to replace the wheel bearings to get the rear hubs off.

But with CCA discount it's 20% off and it's BMW which has it's appeal. The catback that was used on my car made 7whp and 20ftlbs of tq, weighted 15% less, sounds amazing, and costs under $1000. The production unit will be installed on my car in less than two weeks.

Can anyone clarify this for me... Is it $900 for both front and rear retrofitted Msport bumpers? or is it $900 for each piece? and I'm not seeing any mention of the retrofitted rocker panel themselves. They only mention the blades.

After reading it over Im guessing the retrofit kit is just a plastic bag full of nuts and bolts and brackets. |

Yes, that sounds more likely. It would be very-un-BMW-like to include a M-sport wheel or anything else "of value" for that $900

Neither. You buy the bumpers separately. Notice how it says front and rear bumpers must be ordered separately. You might be getting some brackets, bolts and maybe the auxiliary cooler for that $900.

Seems like ill have to go with a Dinan tune if the PPK doesn't work for my no-line.
There's no way I'd pay to upgrade the bumper for 15 hp, lol...BMW fail.

Not entirely true. You don't need new ARBs if you have the M-Sport OR Sport line. These two lines have the same suspension. |

Yes thx for clarifying for boards, M and Sport.
I wanted to keep it warranted, that's the only reason. Pics in 48 hours!

Has anyone had the dealer body shop paint and install both the front lip and the rear spoiler? They quoted me $450 for labor and paint.

Yes for the M-sport. On trade motion.com the spoiler is $195 and if you want it pre-painted it costs an additional $140. From the quote for the installation and paint on the spoiler the body shop will charge $137, so it is similar to getting it pre-painted. I was told that if the bumper has to be removed it would cost more money.
