BMW Performance Accessories

Took this pic of the Zed today



It then reminded me of this pic I took 2 years back of my former 1 Series M Sport fitted with BMWs Performance carbon roof spoiler and diffuser,



Pity BMW haven't brought out anything for the E89 apart from the Carbon Splitters, I would go for a diffuser and possibly a boot lip spoiler if they had bothered to produce the goods :(

I am 100% with you on this I really wish BMW made some exterior cf mods for the zed...I am tempted by the lip spoiler from the M3 but I don't think it will fit!
 
Yeah it's strange that BMW don't make performance parts for the Z4 yet do for a bog standard 1 Series D.

Would love a BMW performance Exhaust & air box for my E86

I've got the carbon mirror shells too fit but thats it. I doubt the M3 lip spoiler would fit without modification :|

When I was at Bird BMW last week they had a small lip rear spoiler (body coloured) that I liked the look of.

A small lip spoiler would look good although I would go for one in carbon for the contrast against Titanium :)

I am calling them tomorrow about a couple of things and I am going to ask them about it. On their website it comes with a front spoiler. I don't like the front spoiler and I have my splitter on anyway but I will check if it is available separately.
 
I just googled Birds and realised they are literally 15 mins from my place...if you dont have any joy over the phone let me know and ill pop in over a weekend :thumbsup:
 
Why are they called "Performance Accessories"?

What's so performance about them?

Your 1 series alloys would probably suit the Z4 quite well, shame they're 18s. :)

Because some of them enhance performance. They do "official" re-maps for certain models, new sports exhaust systems and then other stuff like uprated brakes, sports seats etc.

I think they must only be able to justify making them for the really high volume selling models because it's always just 1-series, 3-series and 5-series.

The BMW carbon accessories look the dogs danglies and weigh virtually nothing compared to the factory trim bits, I had the Performance Exhaust fitted on the 1er as well which sounded pretty good on a diesel :D

I wouldn't go for the 19s as don't trust them staying in one piece, I actually prefer the standard 18 M sport alloys on the Zed over the 19s now.

Had the carbon spoiler and Black grills on my 1er coupe they looked good :thumbsup: thinking of having the Black grills put on my new35i going to see what I think of the silver ones first. :|

Did manage to have a chat with Birds ? If not I might pop into them this weekend and see what they can offer :D
 
Yes, sorry forgot to come back to you, £295 + vat, but that's unpainted. I was going to get one but put modding on hold for now because I'm putting my money into a new car project.

Any ideas what it looks like? Their site doesn't give much info away! I wouldn't mind picking one of these up at that price :)
 
I'm afraid it looks like excactly what it is, a stuck on aftermarket adornment.
Not my cup of tea!
 
When will they make an official engine upgrade for the 20?

I would even be happy(ish) to pay the ACS price if it had an official BMW warranty.
