Hi all

Trying to understand what mods are available in the US, that are specifically BMW OEM performance upgrades. Thinking of making a list for folks that want to upgrade, but not necessarily void warranty.

Another caveat - looks like not all parts are actually available through BMW website? Wonder if they can be ordered through parts center?



Will be great to get your input, thoughts/feedback, etc.

List:
1. BMW M Performance exhaust:

2. BMW M Performance Height Adjustable Suspension Kit

3...

I'm sure I'm missing more - but looking forward to learning more.

I made a thread asking about port install options and a few guys were awesome enough to give me all the info.

Super helpful - if I’m understanding it right, only true “performance” upgrades are exhaust and lowering springs? Rest seem to be cosmetic and wheels

Any BMW first-party thing won't void any warranty. Even aftermarket stuff won't cause warranty issues with things that the aftermarket parts don't touch. Midpipe and muffler to anything else won't affect any warranty of interior parts, engine, suspension, etc. Third-party springs won't affect interior or engine warranty, etc.

Obviously the most concerning thing would be the engine warranty, so I'd just avoid doing intakes or downpipes and the rest will be fine.

Yeah, like aesthetic focused aero. I doubt most of it adds any significant downforce.
