Biggest change you can make aesthetically is to wrap it in some different colour. Or get stealth PPF so the it gets a matte/satin more sleeker look.

Can someone by the way can confirm that the M Performance Engine Package for the Engine Cover fits 100% the M850 as it got stated earlier here?

Also does the extension set fit on the M850 of the engine cover?

Very much appreciated if someone could confirm it.

I’d quite like to know this too - so if I find out from the “all-knowledgeable dealer” (while I’m cleaning up all the rocking-horse sh*t) I’ll let you know!

I’m just not really into the whole Matt/satin fad personally. I’ve seen a few cars that look good with it but I think the best looking stuff out there will always be a mirror finish, see your face in it type of shine.

I’ve just come in from my Sunday morning polish and the finish is just beautiful! 😍

Garage List
Back to the quad tips have you searched the forum as there have been a few different quad tip mods on the M850i not requiring a full exhaust overall. This one even includes a member who pulled it off with the M8 bumper, diffuser and tips.

Decision made - I’ve ordered the full 3D Designs kit (front, back, sides, spoiler) all in CF together with some springs and a recalibration of the alignment for the dropped level. Adding a gearbox remap and rear box to finish off the work.

Massive thanks to bloozemanAZ for the heads up 🙏🏻

My credit card thinks it must be Christmas but the show photos coming up in July should be pretty special 🥰
