I think they look way better than the two cheap looking stamped metal sheets that BMW throws in our M2’s.... |

I'll agree that it would be better if the LBB colour was a direct match. Having said that, they look much nicer than the stock one's (which honestly look like an afterthought) that's for sure. Has their functionality been tested and do you have any stats to share? Do they come in black? Is there any weight savings over stock pieces? What is the cost?

However, you will have a more rigid front end and these act like other braces, to hold your chassis in place under hard cornering and also offer a more precised turn in when entering a turn. We have tested these on a few M2's already and took the cars to the open back roads as well as the race track. Feedback is positive. Currently offering them in blue and black only. There will also be a special promotion when we launch these braces. |

These pieces look rather similar to ones made by CPM in Japan: http://cpmtech.jp/product/?cat=1 I installed a strut tower brace and front subframe x-brace in my S2000 many years ago. Totally transformed the car's road-feel and steering sharpness. Then again, it's a convertible. May not be as much benefit to my M2, but every little bit helps.

Did it make that much difference ?
Anyone know what are the oem part numbers for the M2C black plastic trim parts that run along under bonnet shut lines L&R between bonnet hinge towards strut tower ???

Tbh not sure as I simply haven't had the chance to push the car hard enough (I.e. on track). I got a really good price for the CF piece (used from a forum member), so I picked it up. figured it can't hurt. |
