Maybe remove that Integra wing while you're at it…

Ouch! What ever happened to the under the radar, less is more ethos?!!!

rosemont83 · 11-14-2022, 03:09 PM

I would get the gold wheels, and the duck tail spoiler (not the one pictured), the inlet inserts and maybe the front lip and that would be it..

Pretty sure you are wrong.
every single piece on the car is an insert that takes one piece away or just an overlay on the body.

Are the rear spats on a new 1/4 panel? No
They are just overlays. What the rear is on the side is the reflector insert removed completely then a new one inserted with a lip that follows the bottom. Look at the pictures it is clear as day.

Why would they do a whole new bumper? Makes zero sense. A whole new diffuser like the other cars and the is one? Makes way more sense.

Is the front bumper a new one or are they inserts too?

Anyone have first hand experience with the 1000 M wheels? Going to 20/21" seems really excessive but they look so damn good. Also, does the change in wheel sizes require any coding to calibrate the speedometer? I assume profile of tires can't be less than what's already on the stock 19/20" but could be wrong

M2forme · 11-14-2022, 03:28 PM

To each their own but that thing is an abomination in my eyes.

If they take off all the super super cheesy EBay body kit crap and just put the gold wheels on a red car—-it would look great!

bjcarls · 11-14-2022, 03:54 PM

The M Performance side skirt attachments and side spats are really bad...

Cas29 · 11-14-2022, 03:55 PM

That rear spoiler looks like the one from my 2000 Civic Si, 😅

CT92F80 · 11-14-2022, 03:59 PM

Straight out of the NOPI 1998 parts catalog!!!🤦🏻

jhall1957 · 11-14-2022, 04:18 PM

Those look like gold wheels off my M2 CS.

Wait, so you're saying the bumper is the same but the black pieces are just plastic stuck on?
I'm done with M-Performance.

BMW designers should take heed from one of their own. Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe (Mies), a German-American architect and one of the pioneers of the Modern movement put it best….

Save your $$$ and skip the MPPs.

I'd get the wheels. Those gold wheels with TR or white would look great in my opinion.

Pretty sure it's all carbon fiber, but still…

It just looks absolutely sh*t. The only good thing are those wheels.

Artofbrad · 11-14-2022, 05:54 PM

Not. For. Me. This is giving me Mitsubishi vibes hard… oof.

based on 666m they will be boat anchors and giant pia to clean

Are you saying that bc of their size or weight? The 1000M wheels will actually 7-10 lbs less than the stock 930M wheels if they are truly cast as they are rumored to be. So id think they should improve performance but I'm sure ride quality may take a hit.

930M wheels don't look all that easy to clean either.
