The M1/2 buttons are brilliant (not just the looks btw) I use them 4 times a day, they are respoinsive with no lag and they never fail to work, both things I was worried may happen with it being a BT connection. It's so much better (and safer) not having to look down to find the correct button.
Do you have a reference for how to get the M1/2 buttons? Is it hard to do?

It's easy to do but I got an auto electrician in to repin the wires for the power in the BT receiver, the buttons are easy to install. The hardest part is removing the center console trim

I've listed my CF Steering Wheel trims from Auto ID on ebay, but if anybody from the UK wants them on here I'll do them for £80 as I can lose the fees with bank transfer. (If abroad you will have to arrange shipping and use PP friends and family)

Are those rims OEM size or did you go wider?

Do you have a part number for the cubby box ? I have a G87 M2 and miss the extra storage cubby. I’m assuming it will fit on G87 as well. Thanks. Love the car bro 😎

Reading through the thread, first off amazing job on the car. Second, I noticed you ran the Apex 19x9.5” ET25 wheels with 255/35 square setup with stock suspension for a while and then with the Ebach Springs.

Did you need any spacers or was it a direct fit with the Michelin Pilot 4S’s? You only use spacers for the Winter rims?

Also did you ever have issues with the Apex wheels and the Michelin’s regarding loosing air pressure, as some others have?

No spacers needed they fit perfectly, but i did have to run 5mm to stop the clicking, i had no problems with air pressure loss for the 6 months on, im on my winter wheels now

yeah i only use spaces on the 898m

Cheers. The clicking is only on the front wheels? So only the fronts use the 5mm spacers? Do you think the 5mm spacer would work on the rears too? If so maybe the M2 wheels would work too, those are 19x9.5” et20.
