Wow, that's impressive!!
I didn't even think one could install the M1 and M2 buttons and make them fully functional. Will definitely be looking into this with my car sometime in the future. |

[QUOTE=Slingray;29351343]M240i Modifications to date
Super helpful videos, thank you! I have a BSM '23 arriving next month and will install MSS springs and a JB4, among other items. A couple of questions. (1) How low did you go with the MSS Springs? Are you happy with the ride quality? (2) I have a Milltek exhaust on the way but am also considering the AA high flow cat... any drone? No CEL? What's your impression of it? |

Awesome build so far. When I read the title I was thinking you shaved some weight off it

How'd you do the drift mode and whatnot? Honestly I'd love the M buttons and RDW mode. The responses in the video are vague like you just want to show off but don't want anyone else to have it lol

I sort of don't believe that you're actually able to change your xDrive into RWD. That would be huge news all over the forum.
Also, those M1 and M2 buttons don't function the same way as they do in a true M car. In a true M car, those buttons go to specific settings. You're just using them to cycle through options. But to be fair, I don't think you said that they function the same as a true M car. Just that they are functional, which is true. |

what's "M2" about this?
not sure I understand some mods don't make an M2.

Thank you, they take a lot of time to create, much quicker to mod without shooting but I hope they help someone. I've had the springs for about 3months now. Very happy with the ride quality, they have a great reputation and I had pretty high expectations but they exceeded. Remove body roll, just as comfortable as standard but they obviously have less compression which you will notice over medium to large potholes, otherwise they ride like factory but stablise the pitch and roll very well. The AA is a must do mod. Removes back pressure from the turbo and sounds great, deeper tone, maybe 10-15% louder, no drone at all. No CEL with AA. |

And no you can't have a custom M1 or M2 program with the buttons, the software just doesn't support it but I just wanted the ability to cycle through Sport>Sport Plus>Sport Indv>Comfort, etc which it does well so that made it worth while for my needs. |

Agree. Just say M240 not M2. They are technically both M cars anyways in their own segment so not sure the comparison verbiage.
