What is the consensus on performance parts? Do we expect cosmetic accessories (diffuser,spoiler,kidney grille), to be available upon the immediate release of the car? I would like to build those costs into my lease.

Aftermarket parts are always there...this shouldn't even be a question. Typically during the release of a new car BMW will release parts...and then after market vendors just into the mix.

As for cost - no one in the world knows this...so just budget X amount or whatever you feel okay with spending.


Also 19" wheels are over kill for this car. Probably won't be an option. It's not an option for the current 1 Series...and chances are it won't be for the 2 Series.
In my opinion, the 19 on the 1M looks a lot better than the 18 on the 35.

Regardless, not a big deal.

I am certainly aware that there will be plenty of aftermarket parts, I would just prefer to stay OEM if possible.

Also, my question wasn't so much what the cost of the BMW performance parts will be, as much as it was: will the parts be revealed at the same time as the car is revealed?

It has varied in the past.
