IMO the M2 can't pull of AW like the 1M. It doesnt emphasize the cars lines/shape. I'd had a 1M in AW and for some reason i don't seem to want to do the same with the M2. It just isnt really shouting at me.

BSM or LBB all the way. I get to drive the M2 demo a week today. Lets see if it lives up to the 1M.

But OMG this car looks so amazing.

Was considering the MPE and maybe turning the active sound off. Now the side grills look really good too - in black.

Ugh... can I own two BSM cars? I'm not sure I can... must never visit this thread again.

"...must never visit this thread again"

hahahahhahaha

you should go either LBB or BSM, IMO

Personally I do like the MG. A colleague of mine has a MG M4 and it looks fantastic. However, I test drove my dealers HEA MG and for some reason I didn't like it. I spend a whole day with it and it just didn't do anything for me.

My favorite is BSM. It absolutely looks menacing standing still. But, I already have a BSM, plus my son likes the LBB, so it will LBB for me.

you can't go wrong with either. The BSM never stays clean long, the LBB will look nicer in between washes

Agreed! And BTW, your M2 looks awesome! Enjoy it in good health!

I'm back in the LBB camp. Here in Chicago - it is always yucky and cloudy - the LBB will look better than the BSM most of the time. The exceptions being on those incredible days (like today) after I have washed it.

That's 1.75 days a year here...

M performance exhaust, Ti tips

Black grill, sides. I havent changed reflectors I think its just because its a Euro/UK car.
M Carbon mirror covers
M Carbon diffuser

Looks great...only the carbon winglets are not my taste... Rear diffuser looks realy nice!

full front bumper and a section of the bonnet/wings. If i was to do it again i would get full bonnet and wings.

BKBMW335I · 06-21-2016, 04:19 PM

Beautiful car, I only wish they made the M2 a vert then I'd have me one. Oh well, wishful thinking.

Sorry what does full bonnet mean over a section of bonnet/wings?

I still haven't found a solid answer but I swear I remember reading someone that made the comment in another thread... if you get the rear m perf spoiler does that mean you have to get the front winglets? which in the comment i read the individual pasted something from a bmw rep that stated for balance the front 'splitter' or 'winglets' or something like that was needed. all the parts were actually "functional" and not just cosmetic in nature. Its frustrating but i've searched and can't find the comment again.

FWIW, I read the same thread.

Giuseppe002 · 07-04-2016, 10:39 PM

I was told the same thing by my dealership when ordering the diffuser and the wing. Basically M recommends the use of all aero parts to work in conjunction with each other and keep the aero balance. I told them thats great but I would prefer my bank account balanced rather than my aero lol

Dabozo · 07-04-2016, 11:10 PM

I think this is that thread

Why would you go for the full bonnet and wings job if you were to do it again ?

I'm asking because I'll receive my LBB M2 in about two months and I still have to decide if I go for the Xpel protector that you put on your beautiful M2 or the full Xpel job that covers the full front of the car (bumper, mirrors, hood and wings). ?

Here in Canada my local car detailing shop do the small job (like the one on your M2) for $750 and the full job for $1,500 CDN.

Have you put Xpel on the side rockers panels too ? I'm considering it for only $150, I guess it worth it.

Thanks!
