I ran the new wheel sizes though willtheyfit.com and got these

M240i standard 893m
8.5 ET25 front 245/35
9.5 ET35 rear 255/35

M240i M Performance 898m
8 ET27 front 225/40
8.5 ET40 rear 255/35

Front -8mm poke
Rears -17mm poke

I'm getting 15mm front & 20mm rear Bimmec Spacers to make the difference back.

I'd prefer to have the entire lower piece color matched and then install the AutoID full length side skirt since you have the front pieces already.

For some reason the lines from the partial painted side doesn't flow to me.

Can you add a photoshop of the side piece entirely color matched?

I've decided to go that route myself back bumper and side skirts but I don't like the side skirt as much as it wasn't TRE so went with their winglets so it would match properly

Oh! Personally, I like that. I think it makes the car look lower to the ground.

If I get an M240i, I'd love to paint the gloss sides and back to color match the car and leave the diffuser in black or carbon fiber. For me it probably would cost too much so I'll probably just PPF those areas to avoid scratches and swirls.

The winglet on the side is a nice touch without adding too much. Better than those big flaps on the M2 PP.

Just a heads up since you are a carbon fiber fiend, you can get the OEM carbon fiber center console trim set, it’s the same as on the 3 series (G82, G20). I ordered a set and it came out to be about $850 shipped.

Carbon fiber center trim 51-16-8-094-591
Carbon fiber cupholder trim 51-16-8-094-583
gloss black top trim 51-16-5-A0E-F81

Yeah I know thanks I'll be getting the dry cf to match my seat backs but I'm waiting to see what they are doing with the dash piece as it's illuminated now, perhaps it will be done along with the M2 now is released with idrive 8

Getbmwparts.com

This is probably my 6th seperate order from them and they really are awesome. If they don’t have the part they’ll email you within 1-w days and let you know the lead time. They also have the cheapest shipped parts compared to other online vendors.

99% sure they will since a few people from the 3 series forum have been able to swap the old shifter to the new toggle shifter and vice versa with no issue as far as fitment goes.

I found a brand new set of genuine CF interior trims on ebay for £550 (from a business too not a private sale) thats £300 cheaper than normal so I have bought those, I get them tomorrow hopefully, makes not being able to use the large dash trim more bearable, plus I'll put it on ebay and see if someone needs to replace a damaged one, what do you think I could charge for that as its the largest part? Im thinking £250 as ebay will kill me on fees.
