M5 carbon fiber engine cover pricing discrepancies
So I ordered this with my car. I realize it gets put on in the port. On my build sheet it says- ZK0 MPP carbon fiber engine cover $3730
Then I find one on the BMW shopping website for $2387.00 https://www.shopbmwusa.com/product/6...--CARBON-FIBER And of course IND has it for $3670.00 https://ind-distribution.com/product...n-engine-cover Somebody here knows the difference between these three and why there’s a price discrepancy. Maybe even the guy from IND I don’t know. Can someone please explain to me what it is I am getting compared to what else is out there? Or are all three of these the same thing? Thanks |

OP, if you’re looking for better pricing check with GetBMWparts.com. I paid $2800 for the Engine Cover + Extension Set.

I appreciate that but thats not what I’m looking for. I’m just trying to figure out the discrepancies here. Somethings missing or more than likely. I’m not reading it correctly.

It’s sold as a 2 sets - Center Piece + Extension Set (3 additional pieces). The Build Sheet and the IND include all pieces while the Shop BMW only includes the extension set.

I noticed this too. I don't know why it's more to get it port-installed. Is it some kind of hidden labor charge? I thought about getting all of this stuff after delivery (particularly MPE) to save money, but I realized I was kidding myself. I am far too lazy to mess with it and prefer someone who does the installs of the CF and MPE all day, every day to someone around here.

I purchased the MPP Front Lip, CS Rear Spoiler and CF engine pieces from GetBMWparts. There was no way to get the MPP Front-Lip as a port-installed option if I did not get the MPP Rear spoiler with it. When I decided I wanted the CS CF Spoiler, I was left with no choice. I decided to go GetBMWparts for the CF Engine Pieces due to the savings and very simple install (5-10 minutes).

I do like that CS spoiler. It looks like the Pro spoiler but a bit more refined/smooth. I just got the MPP one. They force the MPP pairing with between the spoiler and splitter due to aerodynamics, right? IIRC, they also have to code something to accommodate it. Definitely one of those "what?" moments like the disabling of Lane Assist with some of the metallic individual paints.

Here’s my build list. I think I got everything available. Except carbon ceramic brakes. Lol.

Very similar build with a few differences. Funny thing is we both ended up at $157k. I got the all-weather mats, though. I didn't put much thought into those and wonder if I'll end up regretting them.

Also in case there was any doubt.. When it comes to the engine cover and extension sets — if you can get it cheaper yourself — go that route. It’s probably harder to set your M1/M2 buttons than it is to install them. It’s literally pop-on/pop-off. The only experience you need is having hands.

Not a big deal, you can get it much cheaper elsewhere which is what I did and I was able to pair with the CS rear spoiler.

On my order form, it says “Z17 MPP Carbon Fiber Frnt Splitter $3,005” Help me understand this. I’m assuming, and this had better be the case, that front splitter also includes the front lip in one big kit? In other words, it’s going to cover the entire bottom of the front of the car? It had better for $3000. Lol. I thought splitters were just on the sides of the front of the car. Correct me here please. Educate me. |
