Beautiful car. I have a Brooklyn Grey car coming at some point and this makes me believe I did choose the right color.

Totally agree! That rear end just doesn't work well.

  • MMS Adjustable Spring Kit
  • Eventuri Intake
  • Milltek Cat-back Exhaust System
  • WestForged x AUTOID Forged Alloy Wheels (19/9J +12, 19/10J +22)
  • M Performance Rear Spoiler
  • TRE Carbon Fibre Interior Trim Kit (Steering Trim, Paddle Shifters, Seat Backs)

Anyway, we're really happy with how the car is looking at the moment. Plenty more in the pipeline.

Said it before and I'll say it again. This really is a design you need to see in person. It works well.

I remember the good ol days of squeezing 8.5/9.5 wheels on the f22. Glad they are able to go wider now.

Do agree.

It's all in the proportions for me. Makes the design work well.

Looks awesome! What size are the tires? Also where can I get those wheels if I wanted to get a set for my car?

What size brake rotors does this car have? Looks like maybe 348x36 front and 345x24 rear?

Only wider by 1/2" front and rear, and to do that they've stretched the heck out of the tires… looks like maybe a 255 on the rear? Too stretched in my opinion.

I'd rather see a 275/285 on a 10" wheel, if it would fit the wheel well of course. If not, keep the wheel width to 9.5 max on 255 tires, especially Michelins with their huge rim protection bead which adds to the stretched look.

Having seen a few modified m240is recently I will admit it's growing on me. I still prefer the look of my M2C overall but it gives me hope for the new M2.

definitely love the new springs. fixes the stance to where it should be. I object to putting 4 pipes on a non-M car, but the mod shows how much better 2 pipes would look without the silly finishers. nicely done guys. I have no cash for mods.

What are the tire sizes? Think you would still clear the fender with that offset running a 255 up front?

Camber pretty much stock. Not much adjustment with xDrive.

19x.9.5 ET should be fine.

Definitely, we have 245 up front. Could do 255 upfront, 285 on rear.
