Just makes the car look a bit more exclusive in my view. When you see another one (which is not that common), be it X5, M3, 1 series... you think that guy has gone to the trouble.

I bought mine (genuine parts) from a German BMW dealer - Kohl.
Can send URL if interested, excellent service and a good price.

£107 for a few minutes work to fit! Ludicrous...

Following clarification by the stealer the total price to supply and fit a pair of black grills is £109 inc VAT which is good value.

Order placed

mlepyro · 02-12-2013, 01:19 PM

That's not a bad price including fitting.

For those who are keen to have a go... just to share this again...

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=380435862946

107 euros delivered (promptly) from Germany.

Takes about 10 mins to fit when you know how, probably an hour if you don't.

Anyone know if there is going to be an extended spoiler available for the F31 in the M performance gear due for release in Uk in March.

i.e. similiar to the one shown in Essen video

Yes that is the roof spoiler, and I've heard it's only available when bought with the front splitter - but I have also heard this is not true either... so who knows!

Looking at this... it would appear to be true (e.g. you order the aerodynamics package):

http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...21&hg=51&fg=95

51.19.2.291.407 - side sill l/h
51.19.2.291.404 - side sill r/h
51.19.2.240.983 - foil side sill
51.19.2.291.364 - front aerokit
51.19.2.291.418 - rear spoiler

Some UK dealer pricing...

405M wheels, £2.9k
Front spoiler £355
Rear spoiler £377
Sills £117 each
Decals £78 pair

Installation of all £300

+ VAT

Sorry do you know please if it is the same as the spoiler on the F31 launched as the M performance parts at the Essen which is on video?

Yes I am presuming so... but am still waiting for confirmation from my parts contact.

I am down to have the full kit as soon as it becomes available in the UK - which will hopefully be soon!

I am only going for the rear diffuser and the rear spoiler if it is available. Parts Manager has told me the diffuser will be available but does not know about a rear exteneded spoiler. He hopes the kit will be available in March

My build date has been confirmed at BW13 (25 March) with delivery mid-end April so should be time for the parts to become available I hope.

Interesting, I've seen no information about a diffuser being available (well for 330d anyway).

Kohl Group sent me this some weeks ago:

"Hello,
Nobody could tell me, so I called M Performance directly. They told me that the frontsplitter will be presented at the "Essener Motoshow" and will go in production officially in march 2013. It is only possible to fit it in combination with the roofspoiler. So what should we do? I have to check if the sideskirts can be shipped with DHL, because of the size.
best regards

I have been advised by my dealer the part number given above for the rear spoiler is the actual part number of the rear diffuser.

Looking on realOEM, I think I agree. Hopefully more info released soon.

Does anyone have the part number for a rear spoiler for an F31 Touring ? Also any photos of the spoiler fitted on an EB11 Touring ? Cheers.

I have been attempting to find out about a rear spolier for the F31.

There was one on the M performance launch car at the Essen Show however my dealer has told there is no information on a rear spoiler.

Mat : Weather conditions is still cr@p , so i can't make proper pics.

But you can get the idea

mlepyro · 03-12-2013, 11:23 AM

Very nice

The parts are due for release next month in UK. BMW are doing a quarterly sales push on them I'm told.

Patiently waiting... to help with this I ordered and fitted the carbon mirror covers on the M3 last Friday, was getting cold turkey!
