So does that mean for those that lease, you will have to pay out of pocket and not be able to residualize?

And for those that buy, you cannot put it into car loan - but have to pay later when it's available?

If so, that's a high price of early adoption...
Correct.

The more I look at these the more I plan on waiting for some other manufacturers to release their products. I had Vorsteiner components on my F10 M5 and they looked great.

Nothing wrong with BMW parts, but I don't think we need any more M logos on these cars. And some of them are just asking for problems.

Hi Kip1, what is the moment? Can you provide the website? I need to get the info on how to get the grill and CF mirrors asap as my car is coming soon. I agree about the side panels though. Not proceeding with that.

Ask your dealer parts department. Mine are already ordered.

Question...

Do most of you guys like the contrast of the carbon fibre against a lighter, exterior colour like Alpine/Mineral White, or do you like to see it blend in against a darker background, like a black or carbon black?

I prefer the contrast of a lighter color with CF components.

Has anybody been able to find these options on the bmwna website yet? I haven't been able to find any information.

They had an alpine white X5 with all these options at the Chicago auto show and my wife & myself saw them in person. I would definitely say that are a must buy. The car looks stunning!

No they're not.

While listed on Tischer's site, they aren't available in US inventory channels. Not sure about EMEA where you are, but here only CF mirrors and grilles are available at the current time.

I have them all pre-ordered through my parts guys. Latest availability seems to be mid to late March.

Sorry, I missed your question. By saying at the moment I meant right now. The CF mirrors are ordered through parts department at local BMW, they also had a part number for kidneys. Just ask your dealer. No one knows when the rest are due. All the above mentioned dates are dealer guesses, I dont think anyone has the exact date. I am waiting for the rear spoiler, will post if I get any info.

I also regularly check the German parts search, because I bet they will be there first.

Me too. And already received it. But it looks like the fronts are 4 piston and not 6.

Are you sure that you're not looking at the rear calipers? Strange that BMW would advertise them as 6 piston when they're really only 4. What did the shop you ordered them from say?

The rear calipers have no logo.

These are correct. It's a mistake (not uncommon) in BMW's marketing. They were developed from the X5 M, but aren't the same. I guess whoever wrote the materials copied that over.

EDIT: In doing some homework, the X5 M has 4-piston front calipers.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm hoping that these brake systems are at least that much better than the stock non-M setup that's already on the 50i to make it worth upgrading to.
