Lol beat me to it. I scrolled up and saw the vid. It sounds pretty amazing!

I want a pretty aggressive sound but not too obnoxious. I was also thinking about going full fabspeed with muffler delete. Any regrets? Ever wish it was more aggressive sounding?
Regret going Fabspeed Bypass, couple pages back you can see all the BS I went thru regarding fitment of it. Should have done Dinan from the get go.

This sounds perfect and in comfort mode it is quite enough to have a conversation while doing 80mph on the highway.

They all require cutting the stock Exhaust. Dinan, FS and MPE all require cutting!

Thanks for the feedback. I forgot the Dinan midpipe only goes so far. Also, nice pick up on the 135. Looks like it was well maintained.

The 135i was a damm good find! Was lucky. Thing has minimal options but did bring the DCT and Active Steering

And was very well maintained.

Thanks for dropping a line!

Havent done much more to the M2 lately but have kept busy with the 135i! Enjoy driving this car as much as the F87..

Changed up the wheels and did some mods to make it more fun!

Also have a couple carbon parts coming in for it.

Was finally able to revisit South Carolina last week. Loves the place when I went to do the PCD of the M2 last year. I had always wanted to come back and visit South Carolina again since I was only able to spend a day there when I did my M2 PCD.

After picking up the 135i I started planning a road trip to do some sightseeing at SC and Georgia while Extreme Auto Colors Spa worked on my 135i.

If you guys have followed my M2 thread you know they did my PPF on the M2 when I took delivery last year.

The 135i went thru a full paint correction and a 5 year Ceramic Pro treatment. They also pulled my wheels off and did Ceramic Pro on the entire wheel (face and barrel) and finalized with also doing my calipers.

I thought the car had good paint until I saw how the car looked after finishing it, now I think it was thread worthy since it looks like it rolled off the assembly line. Pretty sure I will now need to do the M2 since I am being told the car will be easier to clean and will remain cleaner longer.

Dropped the car off on Monday around 9:00am:



Got some teaser pics while the process was undergoing and was able to pickup on Wednesday around 4:00pm.

I can’t get over how much better it looks now!

Will have videos up in the next week.

How’d you manage to get gas with both cars at the same time?

Had the opportunity of doing the BMW Ultimate Driving Machine event held at Palm Beach International Raceway on 6/27/2018 with a couple of friends.

Had no idea what cars we would drive until we arrived. Drove the 240, 340, 440 vert and 540.

Then moved to the M series driving the M2, M3, M5, M6 and the X6M.

Obviously the highlight of the day was pushing the F90 M5 around the track.

Track was wet so they had us with all nannies on and also on Sport setting, but the cars still felt amazing with tons of grip. The M5 is simply a beast!

My buddy Fubar_M3 was driving the M3 in front of me and my girl was driving the M2.

Traded couple weeks ago!

I got the text that I had an allocation available on my name on 6/14 but wasn't able to go by until Monday this week.

On Monday we laid down initial numbers but had a brain fart and brought my 135i to work that day so couldn't work trade details.

Went by next day and everything lined up and left the current M2 at the dealer.

Week 40 build, October European Delivery.
