If Im currently negotiating a lease on a new car thats on the lot, can I negotiate with the dealer to adding some of the M Performance parts that I would end up adding on my own after the fact, as part of the lease rather than paying after the fact? For example if i wanted to add the M performance diffuser, carbon front lip and carbon rear spoiler.

So it looks like they're keeping the car overnight because of issues reflashing the DME. I have a loaner in the meantime so I'm cool with it also because they are doing scheduled maintenance at the same time. My car has 34k miles and apparently the maintenance includes new spark plugs, which I thought was unusual on such a low mileage car but it's all part of free maintenance so no cost to me. Also good to be getting a fresh set of plugs to go with the tune I guess which is a nice bonus and probably a good idea.

I was glad they were able to finish mine in one day because I had it done on Saturday and they're closed Sunday so I would have had to wait until today to pick it up. They asked if I wanted to wait until Monday even though it's done and I was like noooope I'm driving over right now!

Would not buy one outside of a ordered & leased car with port install. Buy a JB4 & put the remaining $2500 aside if you are worried about a non warranty repair.

That sounds a bit high to me. I just had mine done, with Carbon Tips, for 3k.
The MMPK is pretty darn cool and the engine, which pulled great, pulls even harder. Amaze-balls, I am! LOL! I do agree with other posters on the tip stick-out: it is ~1/2" - 3/4" too much. The Carbon Tips, however, can only be pushed on so far although I haven't taken them off yet to explore the easiest path to pushing them on further. I'm not sure if the tips can be easily modified or if the exhaust pipe will need cut back a bit.

I rented an exhaust cutting tool from Advance Auto Parts and cut the exhaust back by about 1/2". It was a pain in the ass to do though. Just not enough room to work with without scratching up the rear diffuser. |

One thing I don't like about the (more expensive) carbon tips is they are only held in place by a single 3 mm pointed set (grub) screw. I think it might be a good idea to either replace it with a security type screw or use red loctite (needs heated up to 500 F to break the seal). Another idea is to put the screw in from the top thus making it difficult to get to without dropping the exhaust system. Of course, this would make it a PITA to adjust the tips but it would make them more secure.

Hi, I just picked up a 2019 440i GC yesterday, and my car has the M Performance Exhaust built it ($1,800 option), but it does not have the full MPPSK. Does anyone know if the dealership can simply install the "Power" portion of the MPPSK in my car? Is it just software coding or is other hardware involved? How much would something like this cost? Thanks in advance for any help!
