Couldn't they really come up with something better than the winglets? Ew.

Diffuser is very nice and the spoiler is a must.

Those winglets are effing stupid and I'm kind of pissed about it. Front and side lips were one of the things I wished BMW offered for the 1M. Since they offer those parts for every modern car they make, M or not, I was sure the M2 would be able to have them....but nope, we get these super cool winglets. I would be embarrassed to put those on my car. Winglets!

I really hope there is no need for the rear carbon diffuser to install the M Performance exhaust.

Anyone can confirm?

Agreed. The exhaust, diffuser and spoiler are nice, though.

Was reserving judgement of winglets until we had some better pics, that is until I saw the price.

Well i have said it before ... well i think i have i am not sure but here goes again! This car is gorgeous from the start, Its only going to need the carbon fiber spoiler & a black glossy wrapped roof to complete the look, It is so pretty! The diffuser looks good to but the original one is also good looking.

Why not? They are functional mud flaps for when you go in reverse!

Nah, blinglets are merely CF support points for lifting the car on a garage bridge.

It isn't set in stone of course but the BMW M Performance representative @ SEMA said no such product were planned at the moment.
But there will be a lot of lips by AC Schnitzer, Hamann, 3D Design, RKP, Vorsteiner, Mode Carbon etc.
