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

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

Did you ask him for oh $hit handles? Can’t believe this car doesn’t have them

This!!! The first thing my brave passenger noted as I took our very first sharp turn… at legal speed of course!

Eisenmann axle back installed! It’s a thing of beauty! Paired up perfectly with my AA EL! Sounds glorious! Now I just need to figure out how to post videos!

Looking forward to your take on it and once you figure out your vid situation. Teetering if my AA EL needs an AB upgrade 😁
And you mentioned this was all oem controlled valves no separate remote etc? Any chance you weighed it vs oem? Looks like it would be a good deal lighter.

Love it thus far! No drone and it retains the OEM valve controls. Didn’t weigh it but it’s at least half the weight of the OEM muffler. I’d guess somewhere in the 25lb range in comparison to 45lbs or so for the OEM. Just based on my lifting it around.

Awesome on controls and even more so on the weight. What about volume / tone? I found the AA EL increase the volume and made the tone significantly more aggressive with the oem ab and decel especially violent. How would you describe it after?

Just louder and more aggressive sounding with the valves open. It sounds like in comfort it has more tone as well since the muffler section is much smaller. I posted a link to a YouTube short I made real quick over in the Eisenmann thread in the exhaust section.

Continued installing the mods Santa left under the tree.

MHC+ BMW V Style Rear Spoiler from R44. The car looks naked without the lip spoiler but a taller ducktail would look quite good. But no more mods for the back of the car… for now. LOL!

Anyone else getting creative with the OEM rear lip as a painted front “spoiler”? (See last picture)

playswcars · 12-29-2023, 06:10 PM

Today I ordered the car!

G87 6MT, BSM, Cognac Interior.

Expected delivery is in June.

Beyond stoked to add it to my garage

Newgenbimmer · 12-29-2023, 07:16 PM

Installed some under the hood bling from Goldenwrench.

Next is to top it off with a Downstar dress up kit.

Looks great! I really want this style rear spoiler but body colored.
Hopefully somebody offers one soon.

sammyj · 12-29-2023, 08:39 PM

Put a down payment on it.

Came with port installed CF inlets and rear diffuser. Still ehhh about the color (but like it above other options). Styling in person is so so much better than pics, I’m beyond “not minding it” or “growing used to it”, I genuinely like it.

Bearded-Driver · 12-29-2023, 09:41 PM

picked up my M2 yesterday, and i couldnt be happier.. I also picked my wheels back up this morning from getting the tires mounted and balanced. next ceramic coat the wheels front and back

Mr.McNutty · 12-29-2023, 11:23 PM

Threw on the Mishimoto skid plate then washed and waxed the 135i since it was feeling left out.

AZG87 · 12-30-2023, 01:33 PM

Finally did the remote software update lol. Shorter than advertised. Found it interesting an audible high pitched beep/hum was heard externally during the duration.

Well, yesterday I left the passanger window opened overnight… right before all the rain! My stomach turned after seeing the interior all wet this morning

I am an idiot. That’s all.

M2GTI · 12-30-2023, 06:58 PM

KW HAS installed along with 15mm spacers all around.

Gets rid of the diaper butt.

Bumpinjeep · 12-30-2023, 07:08 PM

Mishimoto oil cooler skid plate came in.
I started a review thread that was moved to a sub forum: https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=30772034
Feel free to post your reviews there and answer questions.

Update: Installed. Total weight difference between the plastic crap vs actual protection is 4.9 lbs. Pics in thread above.
