M Carbon Exterior Package pictures?
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1765167 I've seen a dozen pics of the mirror caps, rear diffuser, and front bumper vents. Does it come with anything else? |

Unfortunately, this side carbon vent piece is not part of the OEM package.

I don't understand why the side skirts aren't CF. Now you have to buy the M Performance ones, which the canards look cartoonish on. The winglets before and after the rear tire is just too aggressive on the M Performance side skirts. And anything aftermarket, would have to match the weave pattern of the OEM ones, so, they somewhat match.

Those side air breathers are not in carbon in the UK M external carbon pack which I think is £4700!
I've got the pack fitted on my order but I'm gutted the breathers won't be in carbon Are they part of M performance accessories? Anyone know how much ? Bet you have to sell a kidney for a pair from BMW ? Mine is delivery Wk 35 now :-)

Well, that's better than what I'm seeing them priced for $1,458.

yeah, about 350 Euros in Germany (where I am ordering my car). Still struggling to get them. Yes, they add to the carbon mirrors and roof. But especially from the side profile the factory ones in gloss/matte black actually fit very well the gloss black side skirts, wheels etc. So in the end you always have a mix of gloss black and carbon unless you convert all to the performance parts.

Related: Does the package actually reduce weight? Or is it strictly an aesthetic mod?

Just cosmetic, you exchange cheap plastic with expensive plastic. In one YT video somebody weighed a standard side skirt against the performance one. Original was about 1000g, the carbon one 850g, so you save about the weight of an egg on that one.

They just know people will buy them to complete the package. But that still leaves you with the plastic side skirts, which, for $4,700, should be included. Hopefully someone builds some that match the factory weave and color. I'm interested in the exhaust that's in my Avatar, but I heard the rear diffuser and the exhaust was $10K, together.
Also, I saw this pricing on the M Performance Parts. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see the Carbon bits. https://www.getbmwparts.com/c-g80-g8...3-m4-2021--632 Last edited by Limegrntaln; 07-11-2021 at 04:34 PM.. |

We may be better off skipping it on the order, and just getting the M Performance Carbon. $2,400 for the front bumper ducts. $1,850 for the carbon sides, $1,950 for the front bumper. $1,700 for the mirrors. $3,200 rear diffuser. $11,100 without installation. Or order it for $4,700 and then $1,850 for the carbon side, $1,950 for the front bumper Much cheaper option. Only about $8,500. Last edited by Limegrntaln; 07-11-2021 at 09:14 PM.. |

None of the OEM exterior carbon bits are that great imho, I'm waiting for all aftermarket options. Nice lips, side skirts, diffusors, all that stuff will be coming.
Interior carbon trim is a great though, console, paddles, wheel, etc. And of course…..the carbon seats. MUST have! Last edited by NickyC; 07-11-2021 at 09:51 PM.. |

These carbon pieces are a total rich person tax. No functionality, marginal visual enhancement, incredibly expensive.

The most important ones, are to get rid of the mesh in the front bumper. That one, to me, is the only must have. Id just hope that someone would make an aftermarket one of quality.

OP - I've found for most options with this car if you're considering it, just do it. Lots of people, including myself, added the carbon pack at the last minute after seeing the difference in the front end alone. |

We can all have our opinions, jonahk, even if they're provocative. The entire car is a luxury good but not what I would call a "rich person tax." While it’s priced at a premium the car delivers performance capabilities for that cost.
BMW is probably making 70% profit margin on those carbon pieces that do nothing. If you're OK with that, spend baby spend. Last edited by Multimodal; 07-12-2021 at 11:49 AM.. |
