I need more of your E36 content on your YouTube page btw 💪

Thanks a bunch man! We're loving it.

Appreciate the E36 love. We will be getting on with the E36 in the new year.

I LOVE the fact that you carried over the old man factor in your mods. The thing that drew me to this model was the fact that I could take my daughter to school, drive my wife around, not annoy the neighborhood but then have the ability to put it in rage mode when needed. I’m going to be working on a budget (wife restricted!) and was wondering in what order you’d add mods. It sounds like JB4, intake, downpipe, exhaust but I’d like your opinions.

Great build!

Congrats mate

that Satin Black....ooooowweeeeeee

This car is perfect. Would much prefer this over an M2 which is too much for me where I live if it were not for the automatic trans.

P1 · 12-12-2022, 01:56 PM

Well done making the new M2 look that much more unattractive.

Zero7 · 12-12-2022, 04:14 PM

Don’t like it, looks a bit inner city drug dealer’… sorry. Love your laps of the red bull ring, the endless brakes certainly made a difference.

Thank you! I did try to keep the mods subtle. I prefer the OEM+ vibe with my builds. This car really suits that kind of build too

The order of my mods would be:
Front Splitter + Rear Spoiler
Lowering Springs + Spacers
Exhaust
Intake
JB4
Wheels
Downpipe
Mirror Covers
Diffuser

Thank you. Super happy with it. The xDrive makes it unique to the M2 as well.

Haha, I know. I feel the same at the moment. Hopefully the M is a grower...

No worries man! Can't be to everyones taste. It looks great in the flesh.

The Endless pads are a must!

Jack@AUTOID Why would you recommend spacers and then wheels, would it not be more cost effective to got for a wider wheel and dump the spacers?

Depends on the time frame between getting new wheels and springs.

If you're doing them all at the same time, then you're right.

If there is going to be an extended length of time between lowering springs and new wheels, I'd recommend spacers in the interim. Spacers are a relatively in-expensive mod and are always of value on the used market.

Totally agree, mine is on order so I’ll start assembling bits over the next 6 months…I’m sure I’ll be in touch for some parts, keep up the great work

So we've been working hard on development for the G42 and one of the things I've wanted for my car is a splitter without the winglets. I do like them, I just envisioned this car working well without them.

Fast-forward, we rendered this to the car. We liked it.

Using CAD data, we transformed this into a real-life product. The sample was 3D-printed and test fitted on our car.

Mounted using all OEM fixings + 3M VHB or Bonding.

I liked the 3D printed sample so much, I rattle-canned it in Satin Black. Think it looks mega on the car as-is. Suits the satin-black wrap. Not sure I'd have it this colour otherwise because it scuffs and marks.

Our finalised carbon fibre version will be launching within the next 4-6 weeks but wanted to give you guys the inside scoop.

What do you think?

cannockwolf · 01-04-2023, 02:06 PM

that looks pretty damn good tbh

Zero7 · 01-04-2023, 05:41 PM

not bad, would love to see it in CF

Any plans on a gloss black variety?

Will consider down the road but carbon fibre is the focus for the foreseeable.

donm527 · 01-08-2023, 09:38 PM

Wow! Really changes the look of the front end... instead of kinda flat faced, having the splitter stick out more and even add subtle lines/angles to extend the lines of the front clip gives it a little more dimension.

I like it without the winglet myself.

It will probably add a bit of real downforce eh?? If so, will the mounting points handle it?

With that new spoiler in developement, I'd say you have an awesome body kit for the M240i. Haven't seen anyone else do more than you guys on this front and very clean design.
