No regrets.

YMMV

Got the BMC in the garage, waiting on used downpipes to go on sale...

Trying to remember does Fab guarantee the no CEL like AA?

Yes, my understanding is AA uses GESi cats made in US and Fab uses HJS cats made in Germany.
Both are highly rated from what I’ve read.

Thanks! I waited three months for the v diffuser to arrive when I ordered it in may. Vorsteiner is so slow omfg! CT took 2 months too

How long did u wait for the diffuser??

So clean my man!! Can’t wait to have mine all done up like that.

Luckily I didn’t have to wait 3 months it took about 3 weeks; I don’t know if I would’ve been able to wait as long as you did 😭. There was no movement on mind for about 5 days after I ordered so I reached out to IND. They said Vorsteiner needed to polish the diffuser and it should be sent out the following week. I’m thinking they reached out to Vorsteiner to make sure it got sent out at that point because it got scheduled for pickup the next day. I’m not sure what happened but Vorsteiner missed the initial pickup (Friday) so it ended up getting sent out the following Monday and arrived a week later.

Figured that since these wheels are on the car for up to 5 months of the year I’d get something I like looking at. Too many ugly wheels are used for winter tires.

Keep an eye out and flag me down if you see me next fall!

I had my first "i really miss my M2" moment yesterday. The family and I are in AZ this week and we rented a BMW 430 convertible. Fun car but not in the same convo as the S58. We drove hiway 89a between Prescott and Jerome yesterday. I would have loved to experience those twisties with the M2. Jealous of the AZ peeps who get a chance to do that.

Highly recommend that drive if you get the chance and Jerome is a really unique spot.

We do a big run that route every year.
Last year we had around 80 cars, was a blast in the Miata and can't wait to do it in the M2 this year.

I did that in our car. Wife was speechless and that’s extremely unusual. Highly recommended.

Jerome is a fun day.

Mounted some G80 Comp wheels with fresh PS4S’s. Looks so much better, but damn they’re even harder to clean

The wheels look great on your M2. Did you notice any difference performance wise with the lighter forged wheels? My understanding is the 825m and 826m wheels are a direct replacement for the stock 930m wheels without any modifications needed.

Thanks! Nothing notable, if I remember correctly the weight difference is negligible for on road driving anyways. They 100% are, offset and size are exact, literally just mount and do an alignment. One to thing to note though, the TPMS sensors are not compatible between cars, so you would have to remove them from the 930’s and put them in the others. If you try and sell your 930’s the TPMS will not be compatible with another G87, only G80/82. I’m keeping my wheels so nothing to worry about, but super important to know

Dang, that must be a site with a flock of 80 cars!

Its definitely something.
There's 4 or 5 stops we make on the way up to Flagstaff and we have people drop off at every stop. So at the end we had around 20 left

Welcome! Enjoy our weather and year round driveability! And you're right the 89a drive is great. 89a from Sedona up to Flagstaff too but wouldn't recommend that one this time of year due to the conditions/weather further north.

[AZG87]

Finally put some proper fitting tires on the SLAs. 285/35 up front, 305/30 rear.

This is it….
Most of the G87 diffusers do not require drilling.. they use existing slots.
I did however use 2 small screws at the outermost edge & yes I drilled 2 small holes for a secure fit.
