Official: BMW M Performance Parts for the BMW 4 Series

dreamspeed · 08-14-2013, 12:24 AM

Not bad but the amount of hyperbole in BMW press releases makes me want to throw up a little

Howowcanigo · 08-14-2013, 01:27 AM

Anyone else noticed they didn't design a part to replace the blue trim in the door. You've got the cockpit all blacked out and then turn your head to see blue stripes on the door cards...

Howow

Powaup · 08-14-2013, 02:57 AM

Hmmm wonder how much that 30% lock up LSD cost but like everyone else is saying $70K+ for a 435 isn't worth it in my eyes

nenadbogar · 08-14-2013, 04:55 AM

based on this, the m4 will look like a beast. i really dont like that much of a clearance between the fender and the exhaust

MrBeranek · 08-14-2013, 08:21 AM

I´m just wondering, if they offer in the future also Power Kit for the 35d engine. If they offer it now for 30d, why not for the 35d as well...

This steering wheel is absolutely fantastic, much nicer than the one with red/yellow lights and display and yes, it may be already ordered (at least in Europe) - as I was told by my dealer.

Looks great. Removal of that M badge on the fender + carbon fiber wrap the blue pieces on the door panels IMO would make it look better.

True, I agree. 70K+ for a 4 series coupe?? A little ridiculous. The fit and finish better not have any squeaks, better be no rust around the seat, better be no limp mode, better be no steering wheel vibration, better be no motor-like sound from the A/C when on, better have more than standard 300BHP, better not have body roll, better not have squeaky dash board, and etc.

BDWonder · 08-14-2013, 08:42 AM

Here's a small detail. Anyone notice it has "BMW" written on the inside of the rear lights (slightly on the side).

Not close...it'll exceed that of a pretty much "stripped" M4...comfortably.

+1

M4 is not going to be cheap. Loaded 435i with most of the goodies from mperformance menu will be around 70k easy

Exactly! Hence I'd take a "stripped" M4 over a "loaded" 435i any day...

I kinda realized this after spending money on my F30 and now getting quotes of a '12 M3 being slightly cheaper than what I spent on my 335i altogether...

I'm definitely NOT gonna make this mistake again...BMW is great in marketing these items but they got me once...never again!

I wouldn't worry too much about the pricing of the E92 M3, it's an old design. The new one is on the way so the prices are already reflective of this.

Taking a 70k stripped M4 is also a good choice over loaded 435i. The 435i is going to be trapping in the mid to high 12s once you factor in PPK. With LSD handling should be pretty good so a 70k sticker is also justified. It's a win win either way

scott@bmwhn · 08-14-2013, 09:18 AM

Looks sick!

...fingers crossed for the LSD making its way to the F30

300hp · 08-14-2013, 09:38 AM

Upon closer observation, old ppk and new ppk have about the same amount of tq. That makes me feel better, I can pass on the new one if it were offered although its still a better tune.

Just think of all the tires and gas money you saved

BVSEDJESUS · 08-14-2013, 02:24 PM

Im completely in love with this car. I was ready to get a 335i coupe but seeing this made me reconsider & wait. I put this in photoshop & dropped it

I can't wait til they release

Top is base bottom is obviously how I stanced it in PS. The rims are gorgeous. I wouldn't change them at all.

Looks amazing!!!

clbmw · 08-14-2013, 02:48 PM

Whilst this looks wicked, it is essentially like flat pack furniture versus bespoke wood. Why would you buy a DIY kit for something that's not as good as the bespoke model, and pay more for it? Worse, I'd bet the retained value will be less than the M4

This would be a totally different matter if there was a ready made version (like the 1 series) because that would HAVE to cost less than the flagship M model.

positiveions · 08-14-2013, 03:15 PM

Things are looking good for this car.

LOL love to see you go over a speed bump with the car that low.

In the UK we call people with their cars that low "Tossers"

haha we have our ways around those things

Desert_Fox · 08-15-2013, 02:05 AM

Man, this is the only good looking 4 series I have seen so far. I was interested until people said it was $70k plus. Holy crap!

paddyrx8 · 08-15-2013, 02:48 AM

Forget all these options and get an M4, would cost less and look better.

Unlowered picture looks far better, don't be mad and spoil the car.
