Looking like a childs toy in this picture - and that is not a good thing. the only thing missing are some gold wheels and a cheaply affixed wing spoiler on the back....

"Performance " parts, right.
OTOH, they have to slap all of them on a demonstrator to advertise them. One or two of them might be acceptable under certain circumstances. All of them on a car is overkill.

I like the new M3, minus the beaver tooth grilles. I really liked the M4, again minus the grilles, when it was released but I'm starting to not like it nearly as much for some reason.

Some broken things can't be fixed; one of these is design language that starts early in the lifecycle. China is Germany's most important trading partner. Execs from the big 3 car manufacturers, frequently discuss and strategize with senior German government officials as to how they can grow and monetize that relationship by creating status symbols for the Chinese rich and nouveau riche, and there are many. So Munich's designers tried to create an aesthetic that would appeal to both Chinese and Western markets resulting in a comically looking end product. Now Merkel is on her way out, so who knows what the future holds with China? Not optimistic, though. IMO, the current gen ///M5 is probably the last we'll see of astoundingly gorgeous, elegant and understated BMWs that don't have the insecure need to scream out "Hey, please look at me everyone! I really need to be noticed!"

Question. Is it worth adding M Performance parts? I like a few details, so thinking of adding to my new M240i when I get it in March, but is it money down the drain when it comes to trade in, in 3 years time?

That's exactly what I was looking at adding. If you don't mind me asking, how much did all that cost? I know it's dollars, but gives me a rough idea, as not available over here yet.
