What did you do to your M2 today? (G87 Edition)

RootsTootsMagoots · 03-21-2024, 02:37 PM

Ditto. I had a guy taking photos of my car while in McD's drive through. The same week, I a teenager in front of me held the phone out of his window and snapped pictures, giving me a thumbs up. I've had a few other incidents of people giving a wave or a yell.

For all the hate the car received about its looks online, it sure draws a lot of attention irl.

Sat and stared at it haha. Only had it a few days and am very much loving it

Nice! In the same area.

Couldn't tell from the photo if it was Alpine White or Brooklyn Grey.

I'm still under two weeks and a bit over 500 miles and loving it!

RemoWilliams84 · 03-21-2024, 06:02 PM

Got her washed and detailed

If that pathfinder is the creeps car you should not have blocked out his license plate.

My first G87 post on this forum.
- wrapped rear reflectors
- interior uv protection
- protected bolsters with a seatbelt pad 😁

Out of curiosity (forgive me if this is dumb): could you explain "protected bolsters"?

Thanks!

Sorry you were too quick. I was trying to figure out how to post pictures from my phone. I updated my post.

Ha, was not his vehicle. The creep was on foot.

I feel like you're blocking close to 35% of the airflow to the radiator/Intercoolers. I'd rather get pulled over constantly than block the intercoolers. Front plate rules are so dumb, and they're strict in my area as well. Good luck!

50th steering wheel emblem to match the rest on the car. $13 on etsy, sticks over the original emblem.

Same here. And in VA too!

Calling my electrician asap.

Nice! I'm just over 500 miles in just under 2 weeks.

How are you enjoying so far?

I over-laughed at this. Or maybe it was appropriate-laughed.

That is all.

I hear ya, and that was definitely a consideration, but ultimately I decided I didn’t like the look of anything up around the kidneys. And I tell myself it’s not that much different than the radar/sensor on the automatic cars.

What did I do today after work?
Gave her a solid wash, cleaned summer wheels. All in preparation for Bimmers vs. the world event this Sunday.
Hope to see some of you there (if you’re in the Northeast).

Also, replaced color matched front diffuser (which was cracked) with a new CF one.

CadolinaRipr · 03-22-2024, 10:19 PM

Installed the AA single mid today.
