2016 M 235i update

Dealer said should be able to order in May for July production
expect arrival early August...he has no idea if any new options like color choices or prices...my guess No option changes and no price increase
I would like to get M Performance Exhaust..i want more noise...
The sheet shows $1200 MSRP for M performance Exhaust..has anyone got them down in price.? and does this include installation at port?
Only other additions..going to get Akebona brake pads..hope the reported Eur 1609 and Eur 1656 brakes are ready ..trust they are ceramic
and window tint...that's it.....any constructive input about the content of this email would be appreciated...

This, but get it from Brian at Sun motors. The price he quoted me on my LSD would have saved me about $500, even including installation at a dealer.

Same for the MPE and anything else MP. If your dealer cannot match Brian's pricing or come close, don't bother. Buy from Brian, install, and it is still covered by warranty.

Keep in mind the LSD dealer install gives you 2 years of warranty on the part. Port installed and it carries the full 4 year warranty. Just an FYI.

I think I paid $3000 grand for port installed LSD +\- $100 bucks. Yes it's well worth it if you drive the car like it's meant to be driven. If you never pitch your car sideways and don't track it you won't care about having the LSD.

The exhaust with the rear diffuser port installed was $1320 for both parts.

Finding out that any decent tune added to the M235i increases the power enough that the LSD is just about a requirement to have. As of now, I keep spinning one rear wheel on hard acceleration in gears 1-3 with just a piggyback tuner. Add to that if you go tracking or drifting you will need the LSD.
