Considering M-Sport Kit for e92 - options?

I already have the M-Sport suspension, seats (from factory) and steering wheel.

So just the body kit, window trim and door sills left.

(Not interested in changing the headliner)

Just toying with the idea at the moment really, contacted a few dealers and just the body kit (including all necessary bits such as fog lights and ducts etc) painted and fitted is 2.5K

Anybody know of an M-Sport e92 for breaking? Preferably in Sapphire Black?

Are there any other options (Genuine BMW parts)?

2.5K is a fairly substantial amount of cash to drop on a couple of bumpers and side skirts... Having said that, the car is quite nicely specced, I'd say the only reason it doesn't have the sport kit is because the production date is late '06 so they weren't available yet, so would be a nice addition - that and a few other subtle touches could really transform it :)

That would be the 2 cons to the 335i sorted :D (the first being the lack of an LSD)

If you are going to sport it do it right and go all the way that includes the headliner (its actually an easy job)

Maybe try this guy

Tried em, no joy.

I know it's not a big job, I'm sure it's also the cheapest of all the sport parts, but I don't think the black headliner would suit the beige interior to be honest.

John, do you know anything about these kits?? Are the made from ABS or GRP? Was trying to find out but all I came up with was info on the wheels they manufacture!

EDIT: I see FRP there now....D'OH!!

Love that rear, it's AMG-outrageous :D

That Quantum44 kit is class!

I have a black headlining with a beige leather interior in both the 630i & 525i. It looks well to be honest.
I would also try
- Www.partsfinder.co.uk
- Www.partshark.co.uk
- www.bmw-breakers.co.uk
- www.breakeryard.com/bmw-car-parts
- www.bmw-carparts.co.uk
& request each of the parts individually. They will call you. You may not get the full kit from one supplier, e.g. One car might have been rear-ended & another might have had a front on collision.

My cousin's chopped in his 335 for one...can't wait for a go in it! :D

Peter, not sure I'd go to the expense of the M sport kit, but it'll certainly improve the look imo.

I think the issue is the M-Sport kit wouldn't give an aggressive enough look on its' own, it'd be sort of the first step, and if the first step costs that much then maybe it's better left as is at least for now :p

Some inspiration Peter ;);)

That blue one looks well, rest if them look like they've crashed into
The spoiler dept of halfords

Ducktail works well alright :cool: wonder if fitment is good, given it'll be a non genuine part?

There was a guy, could be on driver, who attended Blarney 2 years ago with a 325 coupe, 3.0L, kitted out with carbon bits and CSL-style bootlid and twin exhaust (had blue tips) looked well. Think it was for sale on driver maybe a year ago. Wonder if there are some pictures available.

Found some pictures on facebook.

I remember that, that's Dr.Z's from Driver, he was selling it when moving to New Zealand I think, certainly stood out in Blarney :)

This is pretty nice actually (shadow line trim, aero lip, performance grills, and black lower grills):

http://i1350.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7fff3b35.jpg

Needs side skirts big time though. Trouble is - aftermarket is tacky, and my OCD wouldn't allow me to have m-sport side skirts without the bumpers.... :p

I am a big fan of subtle touches that ultimately transform a car, the kind of thing that makes a non-car person recognise that a car looks nice but not be able to identify what's actually different about it.

Sorry not a fan, just don't like the stick on apron look. Prefer a bumper and splitter/lip/CSL flipper look

That's a genuine BMW aero lip man!!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::exclamation:

Have to defend them, it's on mine!!! :wink::wink:

That's actually a BMW part, I like it :) I do like a bumper and splitter combo too for sure, although I think the CSL bootlid belongs on a CSL.

I will most likely keep it stock for now and/or possibly go full M-Sport at some stage, it's really good to brainstorm ideas and hear people's opinions though!

Ah I am aware of the aero kit. Just doesn't sit well for me - just my opinion :) Prefer standard SE to aero kitted SE.

Never understood why bmw dont just release the sport kit when the car is released instead of waiting a year or two to make it available

Same with the led rears should be standard from day one not just facelift models

To make you spend more money!

A model is around for what, 7 years? So first they release the SE then they tempt you with the M-Sport, and then they tempt you with the LCI.

I'm sure, people who tend to buy a brand new car every 2-3 years will probably buy the car when it's first launched, and then replace it with an M-Sport LCI, and then buy early models of the newer generation then sport LCI etc etc

Not mad on the M-Sport diffuser, prefer the SE rear no question. Once i paint the lower mesh black on the front splitter i think i'll be happy.

I do prefer the M-Sport skirts, would M-Sport skirts on a SE look out of place?

Edit

Pretty good, non OEM.

Now that looks nice!

100% agree on the rear, although if it was the sport bumper with a more aggressive (but not over the top) diffuser, I think it'd work nicely.

I'd be quite happy with the aero lip up front with black lower grills, performance kidney grills, shadowline trim, and M-sport side skirts if I could just get over the "sport skirts without a sport kit" thing in my own head :p Would definitely prefer the m sport skirts to aftermarket ones.

definetly just get a genuine sports kit from a breaker - €1,000.00 to buy and about €600.00 to paint and fit id say.

Worth every penny

Plenty of BMW breakers up north that would have them and if not ship them from the uk with paisley freight - only costs about 200 to ship a full kit - exchange rate might screw you buying the kit though

http://www.adverts.ie/exterior-parts/e92-mtech-front-bumper/7142707

theres a start haha

Just foned Quantum44 for the craic.

Full kit is for E90 saloon only i,e front bumper, rear bumper, boot lid and side skirts.

Roughly £850 unpainted.

They do a 1M style front bumper for an E92 and it is £280/290 unpainted including delivery.

Cheap enough considering the exclusivity compared to Msport kits.
