My M Performance Kit is Complete! *Updated Pics*

teaston · 08-30-2016, 06:27 PM

I've gradually bought more and more of the bits (all replicas except grilles) and now I fitted the Splitter today, I finally have the whole kit including CF Spoiler and mirror covers!

The splitter really makes a big difference, more so than any of the other parts I would say.

What does everyone think, does it look better or should I have just left it standard?

*Update*
I returned to my favourite pic spot to take some decent ones:

Looks a lot better than stock but needs some paint to do finish it off IMO

BrennanF30 · 08-30-2016, 08:48 PM

I think it looks really well, I have the same but painted.

How is your splitter for fitment? Mine was a little off

CazuaLLUK · 08-31-2016, 12:16 AM

Looking good teaston!

jbeer · 08-31-2016, 01:35 AM

Very nice indeed. If you ever wanted to remove it does it damage/rub on the part just under the fog light if you wanted it back to stock?

simon the pieman · 08-31-2016, 02:17 AM

Looks much better.
Just some 405m's to finish it off??
Although I do like the 442's.

SkyJawa · 08-31-2016, 02:28 AM

Since taking my oem one off the front of the car looks rubbish without it

I do love the 405's, but I just can't justify the initial outlay or the tyre cost with the crazy mileage I do.

All the external MP parts have only cost me £500 total, so to spend 5-6 times that just on wheels is a whole other ball game!

Looking good.

What's the fitment like - have heard of a few who have had fitment issues within non OEM.

Had no issues myself.

I'm happy with it, there are some slight gaps like this, but from looking online I think it's normal?

TripleD · 08-31-2016, 03:44 AM

Very nice!
Rear defuser as well?

Just checked mine

Funnily enough got the same/simillar gap on mine but only on the drivers side.

4Kn0xy · 08-31-2016, 04:26 AM

I think it looks immense. Pretty much what I have planned for mine to be honest.

225 · 08-31-2016, 04:28 AM

Just my preference but I think newer 3 series look better without the front splitter. If I were to get one I would get it sprayed to match the paint but again thats just me!

I think it looks ok unpainted on black or mineral grey, but I would paint the top bits on any other colour.

Mine has the same gap, I think it's pretty much unavoidable on non genuine ones

So THATS why they put the xdrives on stilts so you could go off-roading

Yea it's fine, you really don't notice it unless you're looking for it. There's also a slight gap here:
