2016 640i M Sport

I'm new to the forums and trying to figure out what mods to do next. I have a 2016 640i M Sport and 2014 X5 M Sport.

With the new release of the M5 M Performance Parts, I was inspired to put the stripes on the front of my car and because they don't really make splitters for the 6 series, I had my "splitters" wrapped.

CURRENT MODS:

- OEM 351 Wheels Powder Coated Black
- Front splitters wrapped in gloss black
- Front bumper M stripes
- Side skirts wrapped in gloss black with M Performance Logo
- Roof wrapped in gloss black
- Rear diffuser wrapped in gloss black
- Painted calipers in yellow with M logo (front two got scraped by the dealership when they were replacing the front pads ..need to get them redone)
- Side mirrors wrapped in gloss black
- Side windows and rear windshield tinted 35%
- OEM Gloss Black Kidney Grill

(all the above was also replicated onto the X5...only way my wife was willing to let me start modding. )

UPCOMING MODS:

- Arkym Carbon Fiber Aerosport Rear Diffuser (will likely have this wrapped in gloss black)
- Interior trim wrapped in gloss carbon fiber
- Full front Suntek PPF
- IND front reflectors

NEED HELP TO DECIDE:

- M Performance Exhaust...is this worth it? Does the exhaust note get any better? I want to stay OEM as much as possible. OR is it worth considering a Megan Racing Supremo Axle Back Exhaust?

- JB4 Tune...is it worth getting? Have you guys encountered any issues?

- Center piece Carbon Fiber Diffuser...not sure what route to take with this. I saw some guys on the forums have ordered from ebay (china parts) and others have gotten the real deal. What's the best route to go with the center piece for the diffuser? Not trying to break the bank but also not trying to have my car parts crack 3 months down the road.

- Trunk Lip...trying to get the M performance style lip. There are a number of brands including BMW. What's the best option?

Definitely get to know $howtime456.
A really down to earth and all around good guy. And if you’re thinking of doing it to your 640i. Chances are he’s already done it. So he’s a treasure chest of information.

Yeah they do. But check out their website. They have a lot of sweet designs. And also look at their forged line.
