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

anthemavm · 12-23-2023, 11:26 PM

Installed carbon shark fin cover. I tried satellite radio on the way home and it did cut out.i mainly use Amazon music, and prefer the carbon to black.

apez · 12-24-2023, 03:37 PM

BG front end looks great - I may have to do this instead of shelling out more $$ for a front lip. This really is how the car should have looked stock.

Thank you and I agree 100%.

Installed my xmas present, blend mount with V1.

JABCAT · 12-26-2023, 08:42 PM

Added the Alcantara center console lid. Easy 5 min install.

Fastfwd · 12-26-2023, 09:30 PM

Break in service performed.... Finally!

Highly recommend Slybracket for anyone in state which requires front plate. Solid fit!

I don't know about the license plate (gonna try to avoid it as much as possible!) but where is that front lip from? It's CLEAN!

Tslbmw · 12-27-2023, 02:14 PM

Kahanathon, that bracket does look sharp. Install easy? Sturdy? I've been debating on whether to simply risk getting pulled over if I don't put a bracket on or finding something like this.

DarkNight707 · 12-27-2023, 02:31 PM

Installed the fuel cap cover. I was trying to match the blue of the calipers. Not quite but ok. The door closes but it feels like now I need more force to close it than before. Will keep an eye on that.

AZG87 · 12-27-2023, 02:35 PM

Tried out the hydroview on the windshield and Vossen/Adams wheel detailer on the wheels when washing. Shines up nicely though still absolutely hate the design of the oem wheels for cleaning purposes (and weight) and cannot wait to get the SLAs on there.

Looks like a nice bracket. Obviously doesn't work for cars with ACC though.

The one thing about it mounted low is it blocks some of the radiator from stones.

Super easy and very sturdy

Correct does not work with cars that have ACC. Tow hook options are likely only way to go with that

Yes, definitely will help deflect oncoming rocks

M2 CCO · 12-27-2023, 09:14 PM

Joined the crowd with the zunsport oil cooler! Also installed the M Performance front air inlets… not gonna lie it was a little trippy cutting the car!

Is that the Suvneer front lip or which one is it? No winglet design is nice.

Thanks. It’s the MHC lip. It’s really a great design IMO.

Ah got it. Nice!

LCDRJohn · 12-27-2023, 09:37 PM

What I did today is talk to a BMW product engineer for over an hour on a conf call and he probably hates me now. At least he knows that we really want to be able to save our base drive set-ups without using the M-buttons, and also that we want assignable Instrument displays, and displays that don't use a toothpick for a tachometer.

Was he actually listening? Probably not, but it felt good.

I felt like steve jobs; I kept saying, "Oh and one more thing"

Nice. I provided my opinion on the removal of the climate control "rules" from iDrive 7 (I hate the Automatic program), as well as removal of buttons for things like heated seats. It now takes two steps to turn on/off the seats (and my eyes off the road) instead of just one with a button. Plus you can hit the button without taking your eyes off the road.

Jeep removed all the climate buttons in the Grand Cherokee for a year or so, and then brought them all back, likely due to owner complaints.

Added the MHC front lip along with skirts and diffuser
