Post by PeterL » Wed Mar 20, 2013 1:21 pm

Hi Guys sorry about this but does anyone know what parts I would be left with if I purchase the Performance Kit other than the running boards?  Thanks

Front bumper and fogs (the M50d bumper you asked about earlier does not have front fogs so you could need reprogramming as well to stop light errors), rear valance cover (new insert not whole new bumper) rear tow cover and side steps.

Also could be an issue if you have or even if you don't have side view cameras (I think you said you didn't when we met. So if the front bumper you buy has the holes you could need to sort that out too)

Quite a few bits of plastic ducting from behind the front bumper too.

Not too worried as the kit will be fitted by BMW if I take the plunge.

rear diffuser (3 parts to that) side steps and front bumper. and 4 pieces of mesh for the front end. I didnt need to use the brake ducts or the cowling that they say you need so saved some dosh there.

  I did require the side view camera stuff.  Your also need to trim your side plastic wheel arch as the bumper sits further back
