Early Nesting
For anyone not in the know I typically order BMW parts like these from one of the 3 major dealers on here that sell parts. You can frequently save quite a bit of money by using them compared to other sources for these parts. *wink* wink* Thank you guys for being here! *nudge* *nudge*
Here are some parts I have ordered to have available as soon as the car arrives.
Rear M-performance Brake Caliper Clips
Black BMW Rear Brake Clips (BMW Part #34-20-6-881-294). Why BMW got rid of these is a complete mystery to me as they really complete the look of the car. They make these in red as well but I prefer the black for the contrast.
Black Rear M2 Badge
Black M2 Badge for Rear Trunk (BMW Part #51-14-5-A76-513). Like I mention above, I love contrast and nothing looks better against Brooklyn Grey than black. Must do for me.
Sto-N-Sho License Plate Frame
Had one of these on my F80. I live in a "not really enforced" front plate state so these are perfect. On the F80 it was held on by 3M double sided automotive tape and an optional screw. This one will be the same 3M double-sided tape but also is now measured to use the central 2 bumper cover screws so no drilling required. You can see the mechanism that clips it in place where you can take the plate off. This will put the plate centrally over lower middle black section. I think of it as radiator protection as well
. I don't want the factory screwed on license plate frame and I just don't like the asymmetric look of a tow hook mounted plate. LIKELY WILL NOT WORK WITH A LOWER LIP. I won't have a lip because I will scrape in my work parking garage likely just with the MP-HAS and they refuse to do anything about it.
Burger Motorsports Clutch Stop ("BMS")
Used one of these in each of my F80s. Must have for adjusting clutch throw stopping point to get engagement sooner. The stop point is adjustable by the number of washers. There is a white plastic clutch stop you remove and this pops in its place. I read somewhere that the diameter of the BMW clutch stop hole is either bigger or smaller so I will adjust the install accordingly once I get the car.
