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

M2Jorge · 09-05-2023, 09:36 PM

Got the coveted iND painted front/rear emblems and painted floating wheel center caps. Waited a little over 3 months for these.

So, got my plates, permanent registration and $500 rebate check from BMW all in the same day. Now if I could just get my car back from the shop, but probably at least 1 1/2 weeks out.

I'll try to get some daytime pics with a better angle when I get a chance.

I am waiting for IND's cf painted roundels that were ordered in early July. Backorder time was 10-12 weeks...looks like I have another 2-4 weeks to wait (if all goes as planned).

KW HAS, 15F/18R spacers, Valvetronic single midpipe, and F&R reflector deletes installed today!

Will get a better exhaust clip later, but here is a quick rev from interior. Sounds surprisingly great from just the midpipe

M2PDX · 09-07-2023, 09:12 PM

KW HAS, lowered 20 mm. And 12/12 Macht Schnell Spacers. No rubbing!

Car is much more responsive and the steering has better feel.

Sounds great. It's hard to tell from the video, is it noticeably louder in the interior with the windows up?

In comfort w/ valves closed I literally couldn't even tell a difference when they brought it out. Had me worried at first

With valves open in sport+ it sounds a LOT better. Not crazy loud just a way better tone and more aggressive.
Still in break in so didn't go too crazy, but hit 5.5k a couple times driving home. It sounds awesome and pops a lot more. Probably shaved a solid 20 lbs off too

Sounds great, looking forward to hearing better videos. How much did the install run you?

DCC · 09-07-2023, 10:19 PM

What's the max drop on the KW HAS?
Anybody bottom it out and take a measurement yet?

Looks mean and fire.

Any rubbing with that setup?

1.5 hrs of labor, stock midpipe needs to be cut out as it’s all 1 piece.

Not even close. Can probably run 20mm spacers all around without issue. Rears are pretty much flush with 18 but front could use a few more mm.

I’ll likely add a 3-5mm front spacer when my wheels arrive, which would be like 18-20mm in front w stock wheels.

My HAS can go down another ~1/2” but I’m letting the springs settle before I max it out.

Forgot to post here. Last weekend we added Eventuri intakes, the Eventuri engine cover, the CSL brace, and hidden away is a RaceChip. This thing moves. The other night with dog shit air I was able to pull an 8.56 60-130.

Nope lol I just didn't stick the original one on there because I had vanity plates coming. The new one came, I threw it in my glove box with the registration and never put it on. I haven't had a problem yet, so I don't think I'm going to.

rcouchh · 09-08-2023, 05:32 PM

Better sound clip of valvetronic single midpipe

Does the oem “mid pipe” have cats? I’m down with removing resonators but not down with removing cats.
