(Updated with more photos) BMW and M have created a new line of accessories to help individuals customize their cars. Looks to be mainly a naming change in our eyes, BMW Performance has now gained a letter M to help move more product. As in the past, all the accessories are of the highest quality and designed from the beginning to fit and function properly. Warranty issues will not apply like going aftermarket and in the flesh these accessories should look spectacular as they have in the past. We have always been huge fans of the BMW Performance line, especially the engineering work and we are sure things will continue on that path, even if the M logo is now splashed about a bit more.
