What's the story on the DRL color change? Easy swap out to a different (single?) LED?
Yeah very easy to do just gotta pull the front wheels and the front half of each liner and then its 3 torx screws on the backside of the headlight swap out the PCB and slab it back together.

Since the Adro Grille is so controversial maybe its because I didn't complete their vision until now.

Huge box of goodies including the entire kit sans the grille. Including the Swan Neck Wing.

The Adro Carbon Fiber is extremely good quality but it had some light marring from shipping. Sonax Perfect Finish to the rescue. I followed it up with a coat of Adams Graphene.

Installation was really straight forward and fitment was A+




Rear End minus the Wing for now until I get bigger balls to start cutting the trunk. Hopefully in a week or two.

Those grilles are a mixed bag for me. Seems it depends on the angle. Need to see them in-person. Since that is 98% not happening, I’ll probably not risk the price of admission.

The "ardo" in the center of the front splitter is tacky, does it come off?
Is there a small indent left there?

Kit looks clean and the lines look smooth.

It’s a small placard you could remove it…and your exactly right there is a small 1mm or so indent in the mold that would be left behind.

Nice color but a PITA to keep clean. I had a Saab Turbo the same color and it was a dust 🧲.

Agreed. That grill doesn’t work on this car.

Hello all, This is my first BMW I previously owned MR2s and WRXs and Tesla Model 3 Performances and some boring ish in between. After being in a Model 3 Performance since 2018 I'm back on that gas. I was very close to getting a 45th Anniversary Supra but the improved interior of the M2 and the bonus of some jump seats in the back for kiddos swayed me to the M2...



Mod List:
Interior
JQ Werks MadTrace Clubsport Paddles - Amazing Feel over stock and if you're into mechanical Keyboards you will love these.
M Performance Alcantera Arm Rest
M Performance Floor Mats
M Performance Door Sills

Exterior
Innozetek Midnight Purple by @wrap.magic on IG
TRE ID-01 Spoiler
SE Coating and Fab Oil Cooler Guard @legendary_track_experience on IG
Zunsport Center Grille
MS+ Yellow DRLs
M Performance Carbon Inlets
IND Carbon Roundels
Black OEM M2 Logo
Autotecknic Carbon Antenna Cover
Adro Front Grille
Adro Carbon Splitter
Adro Carbon Sideskirts
Adro Carbon Diffuser
Adro AT-R3 Swan Neck Wing (not installed yet)

Performance
Exhaust - TFL Italy Full Exhaust w/ resonators Thanks to DailyDownshift. This sounds the best IMO of all the combos I've heard so far and something about the metalwork with those resonators is so sexy.

Wheels/Suspension
TE37s in OG Bronze
Front: 20X10 +8 PS4S 285/30/20 * Spec (OEM Rears)
Rear: 20X11 +15 PS4S 305/30/20
Springs: Eibach Pro Kit
Millway Camber Plates
Raceseng Titanium Wheel Stud Conversion
Raceseng Titanium TNS-2 [...]
Remind me.of the E36 M3 pffff what a time

Yeah they're so fun to beat on they will melt tires pretty quickly because you will be launching the thing everywhere you go... But I needed sound again. My wife still has a Model Y it is such a good car for around town or even road tripping. They can haul quite a bit with the deep well in the trunk and the frunk.

I saw you drive by my shop in downtown Vancouver about a week ago. Looking good in the purple. Contemplating ordering Twilight Purple or Voodoo Blue

Absolutely gorgeous and as much as I love my Toronto Red, this is rhe purple I would have ordered.

The red turned out though too.. 8)

If there is anything I can do to help with Bimmertech or other upgrades, let me know.
