Where's all the M Performance Parts for the F97/98?

Just curious that they have all this stuff for the G20 and G30 but there's not much for us. Is it coming/yet to be released? Or did we get shafted? The rear spoiler is available in Europe, but not in the US? Is this just for now, wtf? The only things I see right now that are model specific are the carbon pieces that are available as options.

Rant over, please share any details/knowledge/etc

Which MPE part are you looking for? I think I have all of them installed besides the MPE steering wheel. The rear wing is not available in the US but easy to order from Schmiedmann.

I do want that wing. Mines got little paint issues. It'd be nice if they had one in carbon.

On the front page they put out all the stuff for the 5series. I want something like this:

I mean look at these wheels:

For the airbox cover, you can buy the Eventuri intake package that comes with a high quality CF airbox cover (see my picture below). And I would never buy the heavy and overpriced MPE cast/flow forged wheels. Instead, I would directly buy custom forged wheels (Vossen/HRE/BCF/BBS). In my case, I bought those Vossen EVO-3R wheels.

Unless someone comes out with something soon I will probably end up with the Eventuri. I mean, there's nothing else out there. But an intake like that M5 engine cover would be sick. That's a work of art.

I'm a sucker for heavy, overpriced OEM wheels. I prefer the look. But it's not like the stuff that's out there from bbs, oz, etc is cheap or all that much lighter. Our wheels need to be a bit more beefy due to the extra weight.

MPE exhaust would be sweet

Yes indeed it would. I have the titanium with carbon fiber tips on my F83 M4 vert and it sounds amazing.

Akrapovic Evolution for F97 is top quality. Can't beat that.

MPE is different than the comp exhaust, at least on the F80 it was

True, they started it before BMW added competition or CS into the line.
And maybe they are done with the program since it doesn't move too well.

Same as MPE for F15 X5, now on G05 X5, they don't even have MPE.

They still have the MPE for the non-M models though.

Good catch.
A few months ago, it wasn't listed under MPE, it was listed as Sport exhaust option.
