M-Sport / M-Tech bumper to be available in U.S.

Robert · 01-22-2006, 11:19 PM

1250 doollas and the car won't go any faster or handle any better? Forget it. The M owners are just gonna label it as M wannabes.

They work on both. They´re just retrofit bumpers and skirts.

in europe, you can order them with the car though. then they are allways combined with M-sports suspension, wheel, Steering wheel, interior alcantara seates etc.

so that means that they are a part of the sports package? they are not extras that you can order ON TOP of the sports package >

i live in bulgaria BTW

I am speculating that this indicates the US market will be getting a car or package that includes these M-pack exterior pieces. I would be very surprised if there is much of a real retrofit market for these, say maybe 100 sales/year. That does not make business sense. But if there is a need for the parts anyway, and a model that begs to be emulated, then I can see it. I think this suggests we are going to get something interesting, a ZHP, or 335.

E90Fleet · 01-23-2006, 09:09 AM

You guys seem to be getting confused

The Kit seems to be the $1,200
The two $600 something priced items are the optional Carbon fibre add ons to the M Sport Kit

F30Toad · 01-23-2006, 10:11 AM

I agree E90Fleet, there is no way the $1200 kit is just add-ons for a regular E90. That price includes entire front and rear bumpers with side skirts as well. To put them on would require removing the entire original front and rear bumper covers as well as the side skirts. The CF pieces can only be added after the M kit is on the car. Those pieces would not fit on a reg or spt E90. Seems doubtful that any suspension improvements are included for that price, probably just cosmetic.

stressdoc · 01-23-2006, 11:44 AM

Right, you can see the CF add-ons (rear diffuser trim & front dam air component L&R) in the two additional photos below the photo showing the front air dam and side skirts. So to get the whole nine yards we are talking $2,535. No thanks.

Jeffelite · 01-23-2006, 01:41 PM

What about labor, make it $3,000-$3,500? heh

AW330i · 01-24-2006, 10:00 PM

Will do, hope to have it tomorrow. Dealer did indicate that the part was so new that it was not listed, but he was able to find the part #'s by checking the Euro catalog.

Or perhaps E90Fleet can locate the #'s before I receive it tomorrow.

PS - I have rear PDC and headlight washers, which may have increased the labor estimates.
