Cadillac had a similar approach when people used to throw chrome 22” rims on their Escalades. They simply started making 22” chrome rims themselves.
The car doesn’t come all “Paul Walkered out” (RIP) however. You can still choose fairly conservative color choices, forgo the giant wing, etc. I think that’s what most people will do.
I, myself, am doing the front lip and the triangular quad exhaust because I think it looks amazing.
In a weird way, I think they’re taking a page out of Scion’s playbook, making cars super customizable.

My comment was not specifically about the M-performance parts. I said it earlier, I believe a well chosen combo of these parts on a tastefully specced G8X will enhance it's visual appeal. My comment was more towards BMW's general marketing of the G8X.
