You DIY? If so, any hints or tricks you want to share.

Also interested!

Pyrat what did you end up doing with the wheel setup? Saw the comments R. Pobst mentioned about keeping a staggered setup vs a square setup for track purposes given the balance the car has in this form and now I am not sure about the 18x9.5 all around.

No final decison. I did order some Volk TE-37 in M2 fitment staggered. I think I'm going to try those with 255/275 and the camber plates and see where I stand. Then decide if I want to go square with another set of wheels. I talked extensively to the BMW team at the MPE including the guys running in One Lap. They said the same as Probst - stay staggered. During my track events so far I didn't feel the need for more front traction at the track. Only trying to get myself from not destroying the tires. If I can get the front wear taken care of with the camber plates then I will stay staggered.

Let me know how you like them, I may grab a set. Also curious what kind of toe specs you will get if you set to 0 toe at -3.0 camber and then reduce the camber to say -1.5 for daily driving.

I agree with Pyrat 2

255/275

That is what I did.

Sticky Icky rubber with hard sidewalls (for wear) on OEM wheels.

I don't think I have Pyrat 2's modification budget...looking forward to seeing the new wheel set up!

Are there any other work arounds in terms of cheap and easy mods like for example using the m235i black grill surrounds and then swapping the slats to save money rather than buying the M2 specific black grill and slats? Is that the only one or has anyone discovered any others. My plan is black grills, black side gills, mirror caps, diffuser, painted front reflectors and the slatted rear reflectors made by the guy on this site.

Scratched the lower side of the front bumper Grrrrrr

Hey Pyrat!
Yes, just picked up from Knauz last week! They had another LBB but a DCT delivered the same day as mine. One year wait for me..

cbmmm3 · 11-04-2016, 07:07 PM

My Week 41 arrived. Asked Dealer to Not wash. And they did not. Put about 50 miles on - what a kickass Driver's car - and then washed her. Now in garage going through complete Zaino program.

Oh no! Hope you fix her soon.

I didn't get the TE37s for track use. They will be my street/track wheels. I'll put RE-71Rs or RE-11s on them. I've always wanted some TE-37s and never had a good bimmer for them as I wanted the high concave face on them. Solved with the M2!

Holy #$%^!!! Seriously. Are they hiding behind the legalese that states they aren't responsible?

///MIKE M · 11-04-2016, 11:19 PM

WTF did they do, run it over with an SUV tire?!

That's why you never valet the car. If you do, park it yourself and tip the guy.

Valets are usually hired for the day no real association with the valet companies.

Good choice.

Can't wait to see the set up!

Installed my ASD bypass harness today, and I'm very happy with the result. Maybe it was my imagination, but with ASD engaged, not only did it send obnoxious fake sound through the cabin, but extra vibrations through the seat and shift knob too. Good riddance to that ASD crap, as far as I'm concerned. This car is now capable of being both an absolute beast, and a civilized cruiser on the highway.
