2024 BSM M2 from a 2022 M235I GC.
Hello everyone, finally received my car over in Italy, it is U.S. spec however. Did the break-in servicing and now i'm off to the races with mods. Started with some small modifications.
As of February 2024: 1) VTT strut tower brace 2) Downstar titanium engine bolt kit 3) BMW door projector lights I was torn on wheels, couldn't decide between something flashy or sticking with some decent gloss black wheels. I ended up with the VT forged wheels, in gloss black. Went with a 305 tire from the rear and kept the 19 in the front with the standard factory size. Can't wait to put them on in the spring. updates to my mods as of November 2024: 4) mishimoto oil guard 5) VT Forged Wheels 6) IND paint match reflectors 7) Alpha-N Class 3 Spoiler 8) KW HAS kit 9) Stradale Design Radiator Guard And CarPro CQuartz Finest Reserve ceramic coating on the body, windows, and wheels. Exhaust is next! Last edited by Afchris00; 11-23-2024 at 09:38 AM.. |

Update time... Car is at Alpha-N as I write this getting the carbon wing and KW HAS kit installed. Been a minute since I posted due to me moving from Italy to Germany. We added a X1 M35I to the BMW family to compliment the M2. Got my VT forged wheels in, mounted 305s in the rear on a wider tire with the right offset. Painted reflected installed to remove the yellow in the front (wished we had euro bumpers!). Added heritage badges to the front and rear and PPF'd the large screen. Got the car ceramic coated right before the fall and put winter tires on the OEM wheels. Went with Michelin Alpin 7 for the winter and Michelin PS4S in the summer. Trying to decide what exhaust to get and lip once the car is back from the shop.

Very happy with my experience at Alpha-N in Germany. While pricy, they were pretty cool to work with despite the hour and half transit back and forth. They installed my KW HAS kit and my Class 3 rear spoiler. I chose to leave the carbon underside exposed, to compliment the small amount of carbon I will do on the car in the next few months. I have the M-Performance side winglets (knock offs) coming shortly. Don't mind the dirtiness, it was snowing this week.
I'm looking at exhaust... oh man is the choices challenging. I went with supersprint last time, and I have some components from them but i'm debating on something different. Always open to suggestions as I hate the BMW muffler look under the car. Want to find something that tucks the muffler or atleast hides it a bit better.
