BMW is packing a power SAV line-up comprising the new F39 BMW X2, G01 BMW X3 and G02 BMW X4.
And now the German automaker has released a slew of BMW M Performance Parts for all three models, similar to what it has done for its other models. On the X3 and X4, there’s front lettering with a gloss black theme, the latter being available for the for the X2’s kidney grilles as well.
Customers can also order M Performance badging and an LED door projector kit which includes BMW M and BMW M Performance logos. The M Performance exterior mirror caps in carbon fibre are another eye-catcher available for all three series. They are crafted elaborately by hand from carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP).
There's also a massive range of optional wheels available. The cabins of all three models can also be fitted with a number of M Performance Parts, starting with an Alcantara M Performance steering wheel. Pay a bit more, and you’ll even get steering wheel trim panels in carbon-fibre/leather, but thats only available for the X3 and X4.
All three models also get M Performance floor mats made of velour velvet with M Performance branding. The complete range of M Performance options are available from all BMW South Africa dealerships.
Also worth a look: the BMW Glc and the BMW M3.
FAQ
Q: What BMW M Performance parts are available for the X2, X3 and X4?
BMW offers a comprehensive range of M Performance upgrades including carbon fibre exterior mirror caps, gloss black kidney grilles, LED door projector kits with BMW M logos, Alcantara steering wheels, carbon fibre steering wheel trim panels (X3 and X4 only), M Performance floor mats, optional performance wheels, and M Performance badging throughout.
Q: How much do BMW M Performance parts cost in South Africa?
BMW South Africa hasn't released specific pricing for the M Performance parts catalogue, but based on previous BMW M Performance offerings, expect to pay anywhere from R15,000 for basic items like floor mats and badging up to R85,000 or more for complete wheel and exterior styling packages.
Q: Are BMW M Performance parts worth the money?
BMW M Performance parts offer genuine BMW quality and fitment with proper warranty coverage, making them a solid investment if you want to personalise your SAV without voiding warranties, though they do carry a premium price compared to aftermarket alternatives.
Q: Can I install BMW M Performance parts on any BMW X2, X3 or X4?
Most BMW M Performance parts are designed to fit specific model variants, so while the majority of X2, X3 and X4 models can accommodate these upgrades, you'll need to check compatibility with your BMW dealer as some parts may require specific trim levels or engine configurations.
Should You Buy It?
If you've already committed to buying a BMW X2, X3 or X4, the M Performance parts are definitely worth considering, especially if you want factory-backed modifications that won't affect your warranty. The carbon fibre mirror caps and Alcantara steering wheel are particularly good value additions that genuinely enhance the driving experience. However, with pricing likely starting around R15,000 for basic packages and climbing towards R85,000 for comprehensive upgrades, budget carefully as these costs can quickly add 10-15% to your vehicle's purchase price. The best approach is to prioritise the interior upgrades like the M Performance steering wheel first, then add exterior styling pieces as budget allows.
