Rear Spoiler = $800
Massive rear diffuser= $1,500 - $2,000

(not actual prices, guesstimates)

So give or take a total of around $4,500 - $5,000 .

For BMW OEM, installed and ready to go. Why Not ?

Now obviously if you only want 1 or 2 pieces, going aftermarket is a much better decision. Or just buy the pieces individually from BMW

Well said, this too was my logic to pay for the OEM option... my E90 never got the aftermarket CF accessories, and even 12 years later when i look to add them now, it's still close to $4000 installed to get the laundry list of items for that car!

Lol I'm making a point on how the old gen car looked near identical to 99% of people; there's no uncertainty in this generation like you say. Maybe the M340i will get lucky and have the grilles upgraded for the LCI, we'll see I guess.

I like the large degree(s) of aesthetic separation between the new cars.

In the pre-production models, they didn't have the //M logo rear caliper cover.

I'm glad they decided to dress it up on the production versions.

Car looks great, color combo is awesome!.

No, they are the only available 18"/19" option right now if you don't want the 19"/20" combo at no additional charge.

Love the exterior color, but woof! The overall interior/exterior color combo does not work at all, but enjoy it. It’s yours, not mine!

Portimao looking fine and IDGAF if it's offered on the regular 3.

It's just not worth that crazy $4700. You get a few pieces of CF. If they included the side skirts, grill, and other shiny black pieces, perhaps... but you don't even get CF on the side plates! Wait for aftermarket and you'll get them all for a fraction of that price. I also think the spoiler is a bit too small. It just doesn't seem to compliment those big side skirts and the other front and rear plastics which are all quite large. I'll look for aftermarket, maybe a 1/2 or 1" taller.
100% agree

Nice! That'll probably be my combo when AWD is out!

M3 or M4? Order or in stock and what's the timeline?

Congrats! I'll be looking forward to your pictures as I've only seen pics of one M4 in the PB/KO combo so far and I think it looks great Shouldn't be different for an M3 but would rather confirm as my wife thinks it's not a tasteful combo

Those 18/19 wheels look much darker in real life vs. the illustrations on the configurator. I was expecting them to be a somewhat lighter gray. They look almost black.
