Some proper pics. Bummed to still be stock tune but thrilled to be under a warranty and maintenance plan. Everything feeling pretty dialed in. The m performance coilovers do WONDERS to the drive comfort and handling on a car that was pretty, pretty, preattayyy good anyway.
The full list of mods so far is: 18% carbon tints all around, 45% front IND paint matched front reflectors Autotecknic dry cf front splitters and shark fin, blue m and start buttons Psm dynamic rear dry cf extensions Horizon motorsports cf side extensions Kpf gloss black roof wrap and light tinted roundels/reflectors M performance coilovers 19" Vorsteiner v-ff103 in carbon graphite

Well y'all, I wrecked my car. Totalled out by the insurance. Just had a full paint correction and ceramic too. I wasn't driving crazy, I didn't hit another car, we are ok, and I didn't receive a ticket. I guess with that I'll say goodbye to the m2comp forum. I called my guy from the crash site, and told him I was gonna need a new m car. You may disagree with my choice but I was stoked to somehow score an unclaimed allocation for a g87 on the spot. I'm very excited, but sad to lose my dream car. Cheers everyone.

Hey guys. Hate to say it, because it's never happened in 30 years of driving, but I just lost control of the car. I entered a sharp corner safely. I gassed it out of the corner, which I like to do ( I think we all do), and I didn't realize the road surface was covered in fine gravel pit dust. Back road. No cars around so I was accelerating in the middle of the road. Rear stepped sideways. I corrected. I hit clean pavement, it bounced back, and the front driver's side tire caught the edge of the grass. Sucked me right in, and I couldn't steer it back again. We were only going 35mph maybe. My fault. I didn't see the dust. And I was on a narrow road. Sometimes there are L's in life. This was one for me. The homeowner across the street said they keep trying to get a sign put in there, because there's so many wrecks. He also, strangely told me he had to go to jail for fighting the owner of the gravel pit (I didn't know one was around the corner), because they won't "clean the goddamn street"... then the gravel out owner showed up and did his own inpromptu investigation before the cops arrived. Overall a very strange experience. And now I have a g87, which... y'all are gonna hate this... I personally enjoy more for a bunch of reasons. I feel lucky. The f80, f87, and g87 all have things I love though.

I called my bmw guy FROM THE CRASH SITE. "What m cars do you have"... he had a 2020 m2cs for $88k, but that's more than i wanted to spend. Told me about the incoming g87, and i said YES. Approved the next day ON 3/29. Delivery on 4/10. I love this car. It is more similar to my f80 than my f87 though, but in all the ways I would enjoy. I am relieved, happy, and excited to do some things to this car.

If you don't mind me asking, did you have traction control off at the time? I've been really pondering lately just how much the magic can save you from, and it would be an interesting data point. I, stupidly, DID have it off when I had my accident and am rather convinced that's the only reason it was anything more than an embarrassing whoopsie. And I basically NEVER drove with it off, just turned it off one time on a fluke. Go figure. I love my M2, but man I miss my Z4. |

I burned up a set of rear pads leaving traction control on. I have a flashed motor and the car kept metering braking on the rear coming on WOT out of a turn. Lesson learned-- DSC/MDM.... OFF on the track. R.
