Looks terrific! I'm waiting for mine to be detailed before posting pics. The brakes (while only 4 piston) make a huge difference I feel. So do the pedals.

The brakes are around $3K. I can't remember what I paid.

Check getbmwparts.com. BMW's site STILL isn't updated. (NO surprise.)

Yes, that's where I got mine from Getbmwparts.com for about $2700. Took a bit for them to get it at the time but hopefully they'll be able to get it sooner. I had the dealership install them for me to retain the warranty and maintenance coverage. If you install them yourself or have an independent shop do it then you lose that coverage apparently.

Sirajkas,

Brake is lovely. Downside on the rear, only single piston with old design.
But of course, with bigger rotor, it helps.
I had this for 3-4 weeks now, I notice that it is producing much more brake dust than the original.
I am debating if I should put on my Brembo or keep it on the M Performance.

The last time I check, my source can get it in 3-5 days.

r33, have you thought about just swapping out the pads to see if that helps with the dust issue? I just got mine so I don't know how bad these M pads are.

R33, thanks for the info..
I use akebono brake pads for 5 series and it produces no dust at all. Not sure if they have one for f15 or if it helps with the m brakes.. But my mechanic who works at BMW told me not to change it on the f15 since it will void the warranty on the rotors. May be worth checking.

No. The exhaust and power kit are only for the 6-cylinder gas engine.

It was shipped in multiple boxes that combined weighed over 200 pounds. You should buy locally.

Is there an actual part? Or is it software/tuning?

Any info on the exhaust?

It supposedly actual parts, I haven't seen the parts picture yet.
On the ETK didn't show much, just sticker etc.

No info on the exhaust yet, didn't show on the last version of the ETK.
IMO, MPE wouldn't do much, since the original exhaust are straight pipe already.
I believe the most that they will do just more sound and different tip finish.

hmmm ok....for what its worth, I contacted Dinan...they don't have anything available, but they are hoping to release a tuning upgrade in the summer for the F30 3-series and hopefully the F15 as well. The Dinan E70 X5 tuning upgrade is priced similar to the MPPK but theirs puts out 355 hp / 401 lb-ft.

I agree the MPE wouldn't do much for performance, but hopefully they include a sticker cause those add 5 hp each!

Why don't you consider JB4 Stage 1 for the N55.
I am running that and it has been a thrill on the stoplight and freeway entrance.

The funny thing is that when I first got those three boxes I didn't have any problems picking each one up but when I picked up the boxes with the parts from the stock brakes, it almost broke my back trying to carry them. I should have weighed the M parts and compared them against the stock parts. I'm just speaking on behalf of some empirical research.

I've seen somewhere (couldn't remember where) that M performance brakes are not compatible with with (advanced) safety package. Is it correct ?
