What did you do to your M2 today?

18EM2 · 05-23-2018, 07:12 PM

That must be amazing. Congrats! Let me know if you’ll be in the Bay Area soon. Love a ride

Thank you.
Forgeline GTD1. Stock sizes, tires and offset. Running 12 and 10 mm spacers.
Stock suspension apart from some camber plates.

Forgeline will make any size and offset you want. And talk about any color you would like.

@amelia.f87m2 I was sooo close to going with FI.. will be interested to hear yours once its done

No problem buddy... I'll hopefully make a video over the weekend. And will share the link with you.

Alternatively you can look me up on Instagram for updates under the same user name.

Good deal. I’d be tempted to upsize the rims and tires so spacers wouldn’t be needed.

i would definitely change the offset of the wheels to eliminate the spacers.
Stock is 29 and 40.
These are 27 and 38. Just FYI.
It was recommended as such and I just stuck to it but like I said you make them whatever you want.

Any noticeable difference? I know this has been covered and reported extensively by many. I don't believe anything is done ECU wise but I wonder if the ECU does in fact operate differently with the break in service light off. Or maybe it's just placebo reported by many who knows

:

I've supposedly heard that they re-tune it or something after the break in period. Which, provides the full amount of power as advertised by BMW.

As much as I don't think they do, I certainly hope that's the case! Guess I will know in another 1400kms

I noted that my car left Bremerhaven (Bimmer Heaven) yesterday on its way to the states aboard the Boheme. I will be so happy to have it back.

Also told the dealer again that I do NOT want the front license plate bracket installed.

Wish I didn't see this.

I mean it in a good way. I got the intercooler in and everything works great. I was debating going with the larger turbo. Do you have any lag?

LFaist · 05-24-2018, 11:58 AM

It feels very similar in linearity to stock. Just more

Is it worth the 6-10k worth of parts?

Cool. What do you estimate HP. Or did you dyno yet?

It's only money.

LFaist · 05-24-2018, 04:45 PM

The whole package installed was about $7800. Dinan dyno charts show 101 hp gain vs dyno'ed stock M2 at 6500 rpm. It does feel like it

12kish miles on them stankin contis and rears were done. Finally got new shoes!

Today I got the windows tinted with LLumar Stratos 35%. Have to wait a couple of days for it to dry before the film will adhere to the dot matrix on the windows.

I'm planning on doing the same but I don't drive the car enough to wear the rears out fast enough, Lol.

Might have to do a few burnouts to speed up the process.

It's well known that is absolutely not the case.

Celebrated the end of break-in with a 2300 mile round trip road trip to the white mountains!

McGary911 · 05-25-2018, 08:58 AM

I just made my car slower. Not many posts like that here, huh?

I removed my Dinan sport tuner for a trip to the dealer tomorrow morning for my 12k service. It'll take a good bit of self control not to reinstall it in the parking lot.

I AM curious to see how much of a difference I notice. I really noticed it when I installed it. I keep it set to race most of the time.

I had a wash planned (kind of a Friday tradition for me), but with a ton of rain in the next few days, I think I'll just vacuum out the inside.

When you remove it, is all trace of its use gone? I'm interested in getting one but don't want to lose my warranty.
