Wildly over priced, ML Performance have them on sale at the moment for £446.16 part number 51192455832
As for fitting, I ordered the M Performance kit, no front lip though, Roof spoiler , rear bumper trim and diffuser , sill extensions, the dealer wants £500 inc vat to fit . I may just do it myself though.
Also check your insurance quotes after adding these items, mine went up slightly with the kit i've mentioned, £560 to £620, adding the front lip/splitter added another £200 onto the premium !

I see your in Scotland, which dealer quoted you that price out of interest. I got Douglas Park to quote me for the kit, they came in at £890 ish , Roof spoiler , Bumper trim , Diffuser and sill extensions.

I ended up buying then from Ocean BMW Plymouth paid the same and got the gloss black M340d badge and gloss black wing badges .Free postage , they arrive tomorrow. Great service from them.

Extremely over priced. I got the full m performance carbon kit for £2200.

Update on my earlier post, my cack handed efforts, regarding insurance quotes was gladly wrong. I had entered the wrong NCB years, 4 instead of 5, This has dropped the insurance quote back down to £620 , with the Full M Performance kit inc front splitter and ACS lowering springs.

No surprise to find dealers pricey (incl this one) for this type of work. Buy the kit and have it fitted at a reputable bodyshop. Thats what the dealer will do anyway. Cut out the middleman it will be much cheaper and any issues can berectified directly and immediately with the fitter.

I'm guessing the extensions are the carbon fibre front attachments. This would account for the price. I notice lots of people don't have these extensions fitted. I'm personally not a fan of carbon fibre.

Be cautious, as my local dealer was initially reluctant to sell me the front splitter. BMW published a paper saying that it will affect the cars downforce if fitted.. they did sell it and fit it in the end as i said I'm happy to accept responsibility, and I'd only go elsewhere to fit it...

As for the carbon extensions, I'm not a fan, they look a bit chav in my eyes!

Are you talking about adding the front spitter to the G21 or G20 or both ? Is the dealer saying only the G21 is impacted

Yes, so 'officially' if you are buying a G20 and want the front lip - the request you buy the carbon boot spoiler for downforce purposes.

On the G21 my dealer initially said, point blank, it wont fit...

After telling them i'll end up buying it, and fitting elsewhere, they agreed to supply and fit.

The problem is BMW like most manufactures with tell the dealer that a part will not fit that vehicle so for legal reason they will have to pass that on to the customer ..

I have been looking for all season tyres for my car, fronts are no issue but nobody officially list all season for the rear.. If you go on the continental site and put the registration in it will show fronts but no rears... if you search the size they do the rear..

All down to liability I expect...

The front half of a G21 is *exactly* the same as a G20.

Good to know. Thanks for the info.

:Park your car next to a G20 in their showroom and ask them to explain the differences…

Brilliant!!!

WernerM340IX · 01-13-2024, 08:04 AM

Hey everyone.
I see that a few people here have lowered their BMW with AC springs.
Did you have the car coded for the height? I read that there are some problems that cause the rear to become very stiff.

Tegs200 · 01-15-2024, 12:32 PM

I think if you have the front winglets like mine then it might be to low with the Acs springs.......?
