NWCH's stuff is top quality for non-OEM. I couldn't find any discernible difference between the OEM bumper inlet and theirs when I was looking at them.

Don't get it.

well said! to me, price aside, exterior carbon stuff makes much more sense on a 200K-300K+ super car or hyper car like the ones of Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, etc...

Fyi in the end it will actually cost you 6600 not 5500. Plus your province tax. Thanks to turdeaus 20% luxery tax on anything over 100k. (Up to 200k) then its 10% of total cost.

Also remeber there is the insane 1 year after purchase luxery tax called the sales inprovement tax on ANYTHING like car starter tint ppf ceramic coating and any mods.

I'm not sure how they are enforcing the after sale luxury tax. It's so stupid.

Very good question. Performance Shops are to report it. Dealerships would for sure. Stressful for business owners....

I can't imagine any tint/PPF/wrap shops asking a customer how much they paid for their car and adding an additional tax on top...I'd just go to the next shop that wouldn't report it.

Well off the top the ppf shops that do it for dealerships are out then. Then there is the high end shops like z auto .. but yes you could work your way to the smaller shops and I am sure none of them would care... its all ridiculous really
Honestly dont know what the shops are told to do.

Our cars are almost identical. Skyscraper grey metallic with Fiona red sport seats. Every single option including carbon exterior. No carbon ceramic brakes though. I lucked into this build last yea around fall, so have had it for a few months even though it's a 24.
And I too got rid of an Audi not too long ago, except I had a second gen V10 R8.

That being said my M3 looks nothing like skyscraper grey as I had it vinyl wrapped and fully stealth ppf'ed. Have the CF Vorsteiner grille waiting to be installed. Other than that, the side skirts, front lip etc. those parts I too will order gloss black I think. Just because even though I don't plan to lower it's inevitable they will get destroyed.

I’m in the UK and went with the carbon pack on my G82 (and recently ordered G80), which includes the external carbon pack and the bucket seats and is about a £7k option

However I wanted a carbon front splitter but wasn’t willing to pay for the OEM BMW M Performance one at about £1.6k so bought an aftermarket CF one for £800 in a Christmas sale in 2022, which was normally £1k RRP (from R44 Performance)

It looks great on the car, the CF weave matches the external OEM CF, fitment is great and general quality is perfectly good, while saving myself £800 in the process

There are definitely good aftermarket options out there OP, so I don’t blame you for not going OEM if you’re looking to divert cash elsewhere, there are definitely good value alternatives

Good to know!! I didn't see an option for the front lip in Canada (someone tell me if I missed it). As for the carbon package, in Canada you can do the full carbon pack that includes the buckets and the exterior carbon ($10k) or just the carbon buckets or exterior carbon separately.

Front lip is an M Performance part, port addon that needs to be requested separately from the build. It's expensive, most don't get it.

Ah yes I forgot about the M Performance parts! Should have remembered from my M340i ordering. Thanks for the reminder, I'll reach out to my salesperson just to take a look.

Go look over Youtube to see how many 20y kiddies in North America bought a G chassis M car its full of them...

lol sadly basically described my situation except w/ BMWFS.

Be careful or the next update will be “Decided to add the exterior package after all”

Glad to see you back and I really liked your and wtwo3 M340i's when I was considering purchasing one.

I couldn't pass on the opportunity especially with the LCI coming (I don't like the new lights). I've always gone back and forth between the RS5 and M3, and felt it was the right time to get back into a G chassis car! Very excited!

Went with Skyscraper over full Fiona Red (regular sport seats). Only options I didn't check were the CCB's and exterior carbon package (I'll do those carbon pieces aftermarket).

Glad to be back, although I never really left hah 😊

How do you like the rs5 vs the m4 ? I “heard” the rs5 is an all around better car

Better is subjective. It's better in some ways, like comfort and daily driving. It's still very capable, but the M3/4 takes it up a fairly big notch in the performance department. The G8x is always "on" even when everything is in efficient/comfort, whereas the RS5 is a true Jekyll and Hyde vehicle. It's luxury and performance, but the M3 is performance with some luxury (although the full leather is nice touch that the RS5 doesn't offer). Both absolutely great vehicles, just different goals.
