I got them port installed so I can't help with that.

Take a look at this thread

They’d be better if they illuminated, but they’re just standard carbon fiber.

If it's anything like the G42 it's pretty easy. Existing sills just pop out (use a trim removal tool and carefully work from one end so you don't bend them too much)

Need a bit of a clean underneath and the new ones just pop back into place. It's a little faffy to align all the clips up, but not a massive problem - found aligning both ends first helped before popping everything into place. Again being careful not to bend them too much just in case.

The new sills came with replacement plastic clips too...

Added a bit of PPF to mine for some extra protection to save the gloss carbon marking up etc.

Surprised nobody has asked how much weight they save.

I prefer the standard ones, will be passing on these.

They save no weight lol. I installed them on my own in my G42 and they're being installed now by BMW on my G87. The issue is that they're mostly plastic and rubber, so the difference between the layer of CF and thin aluminum is negligible.

I just got them because the whole car has gloss carbon fiber on the inside and outside. There is almost no aluminum. Wanted to keep it uniform and they were like $100. I wish they made them in the same style as the aluminum, saying M2, just in carbon fiber. Oh well.

That I would probably go for to match my CF Trim, I don’t really care for the M Performance moniker, M or M2 would be my preference. Same for the Floor Mats. I kinda regret paying $250 or whatever for the Mats. I’m going to stay the performance only mods course after my initial purchases.

Agreed.

Install is absolutely easy, and installed a set last week. I will have the DIY video, though incredibly brief it is, up soon.

Felt a little silly taking off perfectly good new (still in delivery plastic) door sills, but do love the CF new ones even more.

Here is the video!
