Thank you.
Please note correction to original post i.e. Brushed Aluminum not Brushed Gunmetal.

Found a set of RW Carbon mirror caps on FB marketplace to go along with the TRE spoiler I installed today. Very happy with it all.

Following. Would like to know how this goes for you. What part number did you order? Assuming it’s the same for m3/4?

Its universal fit, so yes to M3 and M4.

I slightly bumped a curb today parking with my Sto n Sho license plate bracket. No damage but just a call out that these sensors are lame.
If you are approaching an obstacle press the button to bring them on more quickly.

I made a trip to fill up the car with Shell 93 and guessing this will be the last ride for a while. The temps here in MN will be single digits later this week. Time to get the car on a battery tender and get her hibernating. I will try not to get jealous of the other M2 owners in better climates flexing while I wait it out in the tundra.

The lucky girl will have the heater set to 55 degrees, and will be 70'ish when I'm hanging in the garage drinking bourbon and watching football. Not a bad life for an M2.

Parking like that just attracts vandals. They see a “bmw driver” and want to run some keys along the side of it. I park in an actual space but do try and be somewhat away from the crowd, never by myself in the middle of nowhere. Mostly I won’t drive the M2 to the mall or shopping centers though.

At least you will keep miles off the car. In NY, we have had mild winters lately but traction sucks with summer tires and 40 degree roads and instead of putting winter tires on, I don’t drive it unless it’s really warm for a few days. I will start it up frequently though so haven’t used a battery tender. Probably should.

Agreed. Colder temps and parasitic draw will drain these batteries. As I recall with my previous F22 I would get a low battery warning in colder months after about 2 weeks of not driving the car. That's when I started using a tender.
