I thought it might be useful to list the official retrofit kits available from BMW. Some of these are country specific, but seem to be generally available (well orderable doesn’t necessarily mean available!). Where I have included a price this was the UK list price quoted by a UK dealer and the time to fit is taken from the BMW fitting instructions. This is based on the BMW parts list which isn’t known for total accuracy as regards applicability and an LCI M5 is not even listed…. Enjoy if any bits are new to you. I have ordered the reversing camera retrofit and the M steering wheel with shift lights. I balked at the Akrapovic BMW branded exhaust and the ceramics as the price was a bit chunky, although to be expected. Ordered the Turner muffler delete pipes, should be in the UK next week! If you don’t have access to BMW’s WebEPC, realoem.com should have most of it.

18 30 2 344 071 Akrapovic M Performance exhaust system (£6,350 + fitting) must be ordered with 18 30 2 348 836 titanium tips or 18 30 2 354 801 carbon tips

If you have a non LCI steering wheel you have to order that as well (inc buttons, shifter paddles, vibration motors, airbag, cover etc) to act as a donor!

If you have a non LCI steering wheel you have to order that as well (inc buttons, shifter paddles, vibration motors, airbag, cover etc) to act as a donor!
