After reading and hearing that BMW was entering the post-market performance parts market, this month both Bimmer and Rondel carry full page ads for "BMW Performance Parts".
So I own a BMW, and I know what a performance part is, I expect to see at least a dedicated link on the website. After 10 minutes of going into MyBMW, and the Owners site, I find "Accessories".
Accessories?
Not what I would call performance parts, but maybe something got lost in the translation. So here's where I can find my performance parts: roof racks, bike racks, lighted door sills, iPod connectors, a nice leatherette case for my extra oil.
I'm in seventh-heaven, I just can't wait to see what this beauty going to do with all my "PERFORMANCE PARTS". [FLAME OFF]

those accessories have always been available, and well advertised by bmw - on its website and by the dealers. i seriously doubt they are the new performance parts we've been expecting. perhaps the website just isnt updated yet. what does the bimmer and roundel ads say?

From what I have read, most of the BMW performance parts for sale will be for the e46 and e90. I didn't see anything for the e60.
