Looks amazing! I’ll be doing the same when I take delivery in SC PC, hopefully soon. My car specs looks identical. Is that a “new” badge in black? Looks so much better in my opinion.

Don’t have any interior pictures since it is stock but can take some.
LCI version comes with a chrome badge but the gloss black version looks better IMO with the shadow line package. |

Looks awesome. I have a fully loaded Brooklyn Gray M340i with the MP exhaust coming in a couple weeks. Definitely like your setup. Thinking about sport springs and spacers but want a clean but not slammed setup. Just trying to figure out that setup using my stock wheels?

goaliemaskmark I also have a Brooklyn Gray M340i I'm eagerly awaiting. Same spec as itsTelly minus the mirror caps and rear diffuser. Avoiding the MP exhaust as I've read there's no performance improvement. I'd rather spend the $1,500 - 2,000 on a true performance-enhancing exhaust. Plus I need black exhaust tips. Maybe looking at the Dinan springs since they have a reasonable drop and all the applications I've seen have given that perfect "not slammed" look, especially for factory wheels. |

Dairdevyld I definitely would prefer the two tips per side as well to be honest but guess a new diffuser would be needed to look good?
Do you really see any performance gains from an exhaust other than really sound? I’ve always been told it’s negligible at best? Think I’m also switching my wheels to the staggered performance option they offer as I still have time. I’m told those tires are Michelin PS4S and not run flat too which would be a bonus? |

Not too sure about the modifications needed to the rear bumper/diffuser if any. Don't think I've seen an LCI with an aftermarket exhaust as of yet. |

Edit: forgot to add Dinan and AWE (both have tips) lump 2023 into their same exhaust offering FWIW. |

For the M340i, can the rear diffuser be installed by ordering just the middle part? i.e. this: https://www.shopbmwusa.com/product/1...N-CARBON-FIBER
