Are you going to install yourself? I asked the parts guy how difficult it was and he said was very strightforward, most tricky bit being the black graphics along the sides (lining up), they kept it in overnight as well to allow the bonding to dry, I'm assuming they must have meant for the graphic

I specced it "just because" and glad I did. I like to drive mostly with my elbows rested on a surface and the armrest's default position is just a little bit far back for that. Slid forward however, it's perfect.

No most of the parts attach using double sided tape, which does have a curing time

Thanks BWRLANE. Might take a look at the dealer...

The car looks fantastic. Keep the 19s. Can't improve on perfection.

Fair one, I'm also liking the ride quality, I think those 20s would make things a bit too rough (last car had solid suspension, which I didn't mind but it was a bit tiring on long a road journeys), went for a good drive today and noticed that I could actually drive over cats eyes without shattering my teeth!

It just looks better (..assuming that you meant the split sliding armrest). It was the same way on the E9X. I want the part number for it because I will upgrade. The one that comes with the car is unsightly. Can somebody from the UK source me the part number for the black leather sliding armrest?

[QUOTE=d4springer;14563087]Hi everyone,

I'm new here so just introducing the car, 330D M Sport with the M Performance Aero Kit recently installed.

WOW! the best white one i have seen, looks absolutely fantastic. I am coming off a e93 Alpine white, so wanted something different, and went for EB II..

IMO I think the M Performance kit looks best with a white car. Probably going to add it to my car, but not sure the side skirts look right with EB II

Cheers thanks for the comments! My last car was black so quite a change for me also.

I think the M Performance looks great on EB when it's left black, the side skirts are very subtle, you don't need to have the black transfer along the bottom if you think it's too much (has the M Perf logo on them), you could just get the skirts along the very bottom and leave them black.

That's stunning, is your kidney grills black or carbon fibre?

[steddyman]

That does look fantastic.

Does anyone know what the full kit price would be for a standard spec M-sport?

Grills are gloss black, the spoiler is CF but I think the grills only come as a gloss black.

Basically I paid £800 plus vat for kit, £250 for fitting and £200 for painting, you should be able to do some negotiating (which is what I did), they were happy to bring the price down a bit, but other people have been getting various other quotes and it will depend on what tpye of paintwork you want (ie fully, partially like mine, or none at all). The spoiler though was done seperately and you can get a CF or plain black plastic one, can't remember what I paid for the CF one, ordered it with the car itself.

Spoiler and black grill was done separately though, they arrived with the car, I added the rest recently

Very good price mate, has anyone seen the kit on the F31? If so does it suit the car

Cheers

So you are saying you price included everything but for the tiny rear boot spoiler?

Thanks

anyone seen this kit on a MG? what you think body colored black or carbon?
