..::PSI::.. - The Next Steps in Perfecting our G87 M2

The BMW G87 M2 has quickly become a topic of conversation across the entire automotive world. With many people referring to it as "the ugliest car BMW has ever created" and others stating it may be "The best driver's car for the money" there is only one thing for sure, it need some modification. In this video we focused on some of the smaller tasks that many owners might overlook. From converting the BMW lugnuts to studs and swapping out the rear reflector to throwing in a short shifter and CSF Heat Exchanger. Each modification is one step closer to building our version of the perfect M2.

Never realized how big of a difference the rear reflectors make. Looks great.

Think I’m starting to regret going with the staggered setup for my 827Ms, I wanted to save money by reusing the same stock tires. 20 inch square setup looks to be the way to go

When were you planning on midpipe sound clips?

20 square looks nice. Alas, dealing with Boston's shitty roads, I'd never run 20 inch squares. Or 20 at all really, I want to run 19 square.

Garage List
The stock wheels are heavy as hell. I wonder how much better the ride would be even with just the M3/M4 wheels, we are talking about 20 lbs of unsprung mass, this should be considered in reviews when saying the M2 behaves too much like its big sibling.
Give it the same wheels (lower unsprung mass) and the same carbon roof (lower center of gravity), and then let's see.

I have a set (actually two) of 826m waiting to go on. I should have my car in two weeks or so and have the wheels swapped shortly after.

Wow, what a transformation deleting those rear reflectors make! Sean@PSI, do you have any plans to paint the muffler black?

20s squared definitely helps fill out the large wheel gaps that this generation M2 has.

We have a whole separate muffler system already on its way!
