What an unbelievable rip-off.
What kind of price tag is that? Black mirrors, grilles, wheels and some contrast stitching? Oh, right, a 10mm drop. Should be $2,000 US dollars. Tops. And that's going by typical rip-you-off OEM standards. It's a waste of money if you plan on modding your car. You can easily paint your mirrors, get a nice set of coilovers, new wheels, and some matte black grilles and still save cash. That is, unless you have to have that stitching or that blue paint...which I admit is amazing looking.

If it came to the US, it probably would be.
RoW prices are far more expensive.

Gloss black powder coated wheels will be same look as that?
I'm digging for the wheels and (not shown) white center console on AW car.

But if you do most of those things by yourself, it'll end up cost almost same- painted wheels, Painted mirrors, all grills, Dinan Springs (considering keeping the same new car warranty with lowering spring), custom order body color (unless ordering AW) etc. Will end up cost about 5k. No?
So I'm assuming it's reasonable if somebody wants to have that style (+about 15% M tax).

Don't know how to describe it, but it looks aftermarket... was hoping for a more aggressive but still OEM look. Sound weird?

Incredibly lame, exactly the kind of crap that BMW now represents. Especially since this comes just a couple of days after they cut and run from F1, like a bunch of cowards.
tl;dr ///Meh

well you get the 19inch upgrade which is a fair chunk of change so I don't think its that bad value for money. The blue is sweet though no doubt although I think would look better with the silver 19s than the black.

Too bad every modded M3 in the US already looks like this with blacked out everything. Oh except the painted mirror bases ... that looks funky.

well, if they can paint it in Dakar yellow for $2000. It will be worth it. Those cheap bastards could've at least throw in a performance sterring wheel.
