Installed M Performance Parts upgrades on this i5

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Yes yes, I know it's a very new car, but still, these parts make it much better!
I added a front lip, side skirts, mirror caps, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, antenna over and door sills, all carbon fiber!
Thanks to my iCARMiX team, the whole process was breeze, just look at my photos and you'll understand.

Here are all the parts I added in this upgrade:

To each his own, but not for me. All just looks tacked on to me, because it actually is. I’ll keep mine stock.

Performance parts?! I was excited to see an upgraded electric motor or at least software.

Carbon bits are cool I guess, but not a performance kit. Just new design ques.

The lights look blacked out on mine but didn’t touch them.
I love the M Performance kit I installed mine last December
The parts do have tape but most is using oem screws.
And it’s M parts not aftermarket. Plus you have option to use ribbets which I did. Rear snaps on to bumper. The tape is just to help look tight against body. Trust me makes car look different when parked next to stock.

Looks great in my humble opinion. There is no such thing as too much carbon fiber.

I went with the 21” bi-color M performance wheels. No noticeable hit to range.

These M-performance carbon pieces look so good! I really like the contrast between the frozen paint and glossy carbon pieces, looks really great!

Any plans to upgrade your wheels?

I’ve considered the door sills but I wish they were lit. I’m not sure about the rest. I like the spoiler but I think the gloss black looks better on my paint color.

Thanks for all the pictures and links! Congrats on your upgrades. I've been thinking about getting the door sills as well but not sure I really want to spend so much money on some stickers just for looks. On the other hand, those all-black wheels would look amazing on my all black and red car.

Nice paint! Hit that with some 15f/20r mm spacers to round out the look.

Oof; not a fan at all. Looks cheap and tacky.

But who cares what an internet keyboard artist thinks; as long as you love it.

Those carbon bits have to increase performance by at least 1/2 cup.

By the way I hope those who purchased this platform like buying tiers. I had a conversation with my service rep who told me folks are lucky if they 13k miles on a set just daily driving. I guess cost savings for MX & gas are out the window.

This is horrible. I almost feel like Bmw is just catching up to the aftermarket community and they don’t know what to put on these cars nowadays why would anyone put this on that car make it look even worse.

Yeah, that has been debunked. As long as you buy XL tires, like you would for an SUV, you will get the same miles as a gas SUV.

13k is a lot of miles ! I’d take 13k all day!

The design of the car itself is so underwhelming and quite frankly extremely subpar for BMW. A sight that will cause sore eyes 🤣Previous gens still trump the newer one in my opinion

The external appearance of this car is certainly not its long suit. Both the F10 and the G30 are better looking. But the interior is extremely modern and tasteful and it's one hell of a driving machine. Solid as a rock, powerful and composed at all times. We probably shouldn't forget that.
