Just seen the new 'M Performance Accessories' brochure. Has anyone thought of adding 'M Performance Accessories' to their car? And if so what?

Had a look. All too expensive and don't really fancy anything. Thank goodness.

Hello,
There are several threads on this forum with members showing off their M performance accessories installed. Almost all currently available m performance accessory options have been installed in one form or another. Was there a particular item you were interested in seeing?

here's a couple members links

You can download the brochure from the German website (www.bmw.com), in the 'BMW Owners' section. Then in the 'Original BMW Accessories' you can find a download link to all of their brochures.

I found them on the UK BMW Webpage. Go into 'Owners', then 'Genuine BMW Accessories', then 'BMW M Performance' and it's all there.

I quite like the look of the performance exhaust system, but doesn't look, like it's suitable for the 320i.

Thanks guys

It's listed under 330D F31 but I don't think it would fit. One single pipe maybe each side. not sure picture just shows One pipe. Petrol only I think.

I have opted for the performance interior and rear diffuser in black gloss. I'm considering the front spoiler but thinking it may be too much on the car i.e. I don't want it looking anything like a 'boy' racer car!

Of course not!

I have never been a fan of adding Carbon Fibre parts, Gloss Black ones or Matt Black ones. Carbon Fibre to my eyes looks naff, the Gloss Black gets scratched easily and produces a look on cars suitable for a B Class horror movie and Matt Black ones look cheap DIY.

If it was not such a hassle, I would seriously consider changing some of the Gloss Black trim on my M Sport to Chrome, except for the Rear Diffuser which I'd leave well alone. I wish BMW could have given me this as a no cost option.

To keep the peace, I end by saying ETTO.

Not related to the topic at all, but just read your signature. How did you manage to get valencia orange as a color?? Awesome color combo with the black merino leather, extremely jealous! Will definitely be one unique 3 series.

Can I ask what you know of the TV option. Is there subscription of other additional costs. Is the reception a good quality and will you get good use of it.

I said to the dealer that there wasn't enough colour choice in the range and cited the example that with Audi you can (for a price) have any colour from the entire range to cars. So they said to me what colour would I like. I did some research and came up with a colour that is in the 1 Series range. They contacted the factory, who came back with a price and hey presto the deal was done.

Time will tell what the reception is like. No one has told me about any subscriptions.

I hope to get good use from it as I do quite a lot of waiting around either for my wife, when I am collecting her from work. Or when I am waiting for the tide and the wind to pick up when I am using my kite buggy on the beach.

I'm finding it option hard to jsutify. I thought it was quite expensive but if you get the use that's maybe worth it.

Well done, looking forward to pics!

I don't think the exhaust fits the 330d, and I've spoken to IND distribution about the 3D quad - no good for 330d either

I highly recommend the M performance range. Have the front grilles on the F31, and am going for the full aerodynamic kit when it's available in March. The grilles went on as soon as I drove the car home.

On the M3, it's got a fair few of the M performance bits - every single one makes it more refined and rare whilst keeping it totally away from the Halford's type mod style I hate to see.

On the F31 I'd also love the 20" 405M wheels Must resist!

"Hi Mat,

We have just had a bulletin from BMW today advising that the M Performance parts for F30/31 will be available in March. As soon as I get more information I will let you know."

I've ordered this on a few BMW's in the past. I since realised I used it about 5 times so stopped specing it. It was good for putting on whilst eating in the car.

No subscriptions needed, other than I believe you need a valid home TV license to watch TV on the move... but I might be wrong, and no one checks at BMW anyway.

This will get your juices flowing...



The F31 looks stunning.
