What did you do to your M2 today? (G87 Edition)

yuzu · 10-25-2023, 03:10 PM

I'm on 07/2023.35 in the US fwiw

Chet for short · 10-25-2023, 03:57 PM

I'm on 03/2023.45, and no update. 6MT, no heads-up display. I wonder if updates are for specific builds.

The sound is definitely not as loud as others I have heard example MST or RK but I couldnt bring myself to spend the Eventuri or Dinan money although that could always change. I suspect once the Midpipe goes on I won't hear anything but exhaust.

I have the MST with Valvetronic midpipe, and valve controller 100% open. Definitely still hear the intake. It’s good fun.

Tint done. 20% all round. Summer's coming, not that you would know it, today 15c and overcast. Melbourne Australia.

My first thought looking at it was that it seems very well engineered and built, but probably kinda quiet.

Installed Acexxon rear reflector inserts

GregW / Oregon · 10-26-2023, 10:03 AM

To me the rear reflectors are a safety feature that could be important. Fronts not as much.

RemoWilliams84 · 10-26-2023, 11:11 AM

I installed "M" door lock pins, led puddle lamps, and floating center caps last night. Added about 50hp.

How do those door pins look? I have them but have had second thoughts on actually putting them on (doesn’t help that I couldn’t figure out how to do it either)

My daughter kept telling me my new bmw wasn't as good as the old one because it didn't have "spinnies". She helped me install last night and everything is good now.

I think they look good. Very noticeable when approaching the vehicle to get in.

As far as putting them on, removing the old pins was harder than they make it look. I couldn't get them out just pulling up. You have to grab them with pliers and kind of wiggle back and forth and they come loose. The new ones just slide in.

Then that makes those centers very special!

Interesting, I picked my car 2 days ago and it came with floating caps.

sacowich · 10-27-2023, 10:03 PM

Tired of scrubbing outer sills from whatever streaks are on there. Hardest part of the car to get clean, especially with wheel spacers.

Hence, installed TLG mudflaps. Had those on my F80 and they functioned well. Hoping they will mitigate some of the dirt/damage on a spaced G87.
Super easy instal. No need to take wheels off.
Few quick night pictures included. They are nicely thin and sleek. Recommend.

Geighty7 · 10-28-2023, 01:13 AM

Decided to take advantage of the R44 Performance sale and got myself the MCH Pre Preg CF V style wing on a discount! Taking delivery of the car next week. Figure I'd give her some character right off the bat.

Any update on these? Planning on ordering as well.
