Best Accessories under 100$?

Petrified13 · 12-28-2024, 10:45 PM

Hey all,

I will be picking up my new 2025 M2 in a few days and I wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations for small things that serve to improve the look or your experience when driving the car?

I already bought some things like:

- Screen Protector/Glare Reducer
- Carbon Fiber Gas Cap
- Carbon Fiber M License Plate
- M Tire Caps
- Car Vacuum

Thanks!

Over $100 but a lot of peace of mind:

Mishimoto skid plate

Windshield Sunshade
(may be > $100 depending on selection)

There's a ton, I'm sure...but here's a few I've found useful.

Large Trunk Organizer . Proves useful every day.

Rear License Plate Frame Bracket
This replaces the stock bracket that came with my car, the screw holes of which allow the screws to pass through and damage the paint--which the dealer did when installing it. There are other solutions, but this one is turnkey and as cheap.

Console Organizer
Another useful way to organize space. Offers a perfect solution for storing/holding my phone (when the charging pad heats it up), the small remotes I have for my valve controller and throttle booster, sunglasses, etc.

SAMSUNG Flash Drive https://a.co/d/f91yqBn
Holds all the music I need and it's very low profile.

Center Console Storage Box
Removing the OEM cover involved a slightly larger pry tool. You'll hear a snap from two clips facing the rear (if I could have depressed those first, removal might have been easier). My MAD remote valve controller fits nicely.

MiiKARE Phone Mount
MiiKARE makes a few options. I bought a Magsafe version and the standard clip style (which comes with a tripod mounting base). This may not be a very elegant looking mount, but they both fit securely and don't bounce around. My viz is excellent (for those rare occasions I ref my phone). This isn't my actual mounting solution (still waiting on parts for that--but it's also under $100).

Key fob cover. These keys love to show dents and dings when they are dropped or they they party in your pants with your home keys.

X_Drive Do you have any recommended ones?

I personally have been using this. Both for my past F87 Comp and now the G87 which i too delivery on Saturday . Nice thing is it doesnt add too much “girth,” compared to many other covers out there(subjective)

Also, they are a BMW product. I believe they cost 70usd? I got mine for 80 CAD.
You can get the copy version from overseas, however the font is all wrong and looks off.

Plus one on this, with thanks to mks. Mine just arrived and the quality and fit seem solid - it makes the console way more useful.

The skid plate is for sure the first upgrade on my build recommendation

I ordered one too! With the little cubby missing on the lower left dash on the 2er, I don't have a good place to store my sunglasses. This will do just fine without cluttering up the compartment!

Mine came in today! Great fit!

I bought the same one and it fits nicely. The o ly thing I don’t love is that it “sits high up.” As in, you lost all the depth of the armrest console. Sure you can still lift the piece out and have storage below it. However, anyone buying this should just be aware with this in you now only have a few inches of vertical storage room with this tray.

That’s actually what I like about it. I can keep things separated top from bottom. The tray easily lifts out to access the stuff on bottom.

Same. My lower level is for stuff I want handier than in the glovebox, but don’t need frequently. The upper level (this new piece) is for some mints or gum, sunglasses, a pen and small pad of paper, etc.

Zunsport radiator grill cover. Significantly more than $100.00, but IMO, absolutely priceless.
