Sitting in the drivers seat I haven’t noticed any changes to the exhaust note, but in reading the bmw mppk product info (https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/at...1&d=1441583503) it does mention the following:
The M Performance Power Kit ensures an optimised engine and exhaust system sound. Exhaust bubbling is enabled in "Sport" mode. As a result, the car sounds like 'performance'. I’ll see if I hear a difference next time I take bae out. |

Question I ordered this and the button looks mirrored, when you shine a light one it it looks black. But the button not the surrounding is like mirror. Is yours like that?

Truthfully the mods were going to be subtle, but I think I went a bit overboard. Yes, I have the red one were when light reflects off it gives it a red glow |

Which film did you use for the fog lights? I tried tinting them before by cutting out a circle that would fit the area but application was difficult since they are convex and the film would wrinkle at one end

Lamin-x precut fog light covers. Took a few minutes to apply on each side. No wrinkles or bubbles and the film is very forgiving as you can remove and reapply as many times as you like. Also ended up paying only $11 for the pair. Used 20% off coupon code “WELCOME” + my credit card is offering $5 credit for purchasing from small businesses and Lamin-x qualifies as a small business

Any shots from the side of the car after side skirts were installed? I’m debating on only putting the rear middle part on and leaving off the sides on the rear bumper. However curious to see the look with everything.

When I was installing the kit I debated on adding the rear flaps. IMO I think it looks fine without them but since I had the flaps I figured I’d install them

BMW of oyster bay. They charged 2 hrs for the installation for a total of $330 which was the best price I was able to find since I purchased mppk from another dealer. The dealers ard me would only install it if I purchased the kit from them.

For emblems no need to take them off. Just mask around the emblem and leave a 3/4 inch gap. You want some of the car paint to show between the emblem surface and the tape. If you tape too closely to the emblem then the tape will pull up the Plasti Dip from the emblem surface. When you spray cover the emblem and masked off gap. |
