I understand there will be a price markup for one of the more expensive models made by one of the more expensive car companies out there...but $650 for carbon fiber grilles? That's probably close to the market bearing price for F10 M5 owners, but taken in a vacuum man that's alot of cash for very little product.

Someone would have had to lose their marbles to spend that kind of money for those grills.

I see a lot of inconsistencies in the weave of the carbon fiber. These parts are marked up 1000%. Where is the dislike button?

Made in China? If that's the case then these are way too expensive!

Carbon fiber is an ugly double-colored and very overrated material, even considering it's weight and physical properties. I blame the ignorant public with cash for buying these and making an artificial demand on these overpriced products. My M6 E63 has 10+ Kg carbon fiber inside the front bumper, and some 15+ Kg of glamorous carbon fiber roof.
P.S. I noticed there's no listing for Carbon Fiber spoiler, maybe because it's more expensive than official M Performance part? ![]() |

![]() I admit, I like the parts...but it's not Vorsteiner/Hamman/ACS...no reason to command such a big premium, especially since its made in China ![]()
