i wish there was restraint when it comes to autozone parts (the little slats).

It would be cool to see the unedited color of the rims and Zandvoort blue paint together (you posted too saturated photos with skewed hue as well, making as others said the color torquise or tiffany blue almost).

That's a lot of money to pay for an intake manifold that only cools better than the stock unit does when you turn up the boost to crazy power levels. Wish I had that type of coin to add an CSF Intake Manifold (custom painted CS gold) to my G87 for mainly looks. With that aside, nice car man...

I don’t agree with the shifting knob but the rest is a big fat yes! Your enginebay looks great with the painted engine cover and CSF Manifold in CS gold.
Drive safe and enjoy your beautiful M2

I like it. I wouldn't do those comb-like thingy behind the wheels, but the rest is tasteful.

@X5M2 NC - Does the CSF Intake manifold run cooler & perform better than the stock unit does at relatively stock boost levels... ?

Noticed the Carbahn Stage 1 Tune is the only power adder so far.

So haven’t run it hard because I haven’t had break-in service yet. Same with the Stage 1. Carbahn didn’t want me to have it sent to flash until after the break-in. We are estimating it’s about 550 at the wheel with the mods so far. Once I have a chance to open it up I’ll be able to tell better how the work we’ve done so far is benefiting the performance and if the manifold is making making it run cooler.

Got run in service a couple weeks ago. Have had a lot of fun getting it higher in the rev range (as you’d expect). Probably only thing I could say I’d like to change is the burbles. It’s pretty excessive if you are higher in the rev range and let off. I’ve debated getting it flashed so I can control that, but I really am not looking for more power and I hate to flash it being so new. Little sluggish off the line, but definitely picks up as you get over 3,000ish. Working on a few exterior changes. Don’t love the the wheel arch carbon, so getting that removed and replacing front splitter with MHC and going with the Alpha N front fenders.

The car will be in the CSF booth at MPact East next month if anyone wants to drop by and check it out.

Im debating doing the Carbahn stage 1 as well. Probably wait a few months though to let them send out a few software updates first as they work out the kinks
