M Performance Parts - Car 'modified'?
For those who have fitted M Performance parts, or another cosmetic feature (not effecting performance), have you declared these to your insurer as vehicle modifications?

I have all of the M performance parts available excluding the CF mirror caps. I have disclosed all of those as dealer fit options. The insurance had no issue with those parts. The other mods are being disclosed individually and those are all likely to create additional premiums I have been warned. The car won't be ready until next month so I will post again if there are any changes to the insurance once it's registration number goes on and the car is on the road.
On another note what a stupid system that BMW doesn't buy back the original parts or allow you to spec the car as M performance kitted straight from the factory Denso |

Hi
The M parts are a modification in the eyes of your insurer, even if they are not performance related. It could be deemed the cosmetic parts make the vehicle more theft attractive. Make sure you keep the replaced parts. You may find them a bonus for resale. Have you bought the performance exhaust? |

Thanks for the advice. I haven't bought the MPE. I had considered an aftermarket exhaust, but to be honest I am more than content with the stock system and currently have no inclination to change it!

Where can I get info on the M Performance Kit for the M4?
I've got it on my 335d and want the same with the M.. My issue is, the supplying dealer has their body shop off site, 20miles each way and probably wouldn't want them to install prior to collection because of this |
