What did you do to your M2 today?

particulardude · 11-03-2018, 08:24 AM

Just mocked up, not installed. What do you guys think?

Not feeling it, but it's your car. Be happy.

They look like they're a touch too big for a good fitment.

I think the right way to do fogs on our cars (still baffles me why we don't have factory fogs) is like this guy did earlier in the thread.

That looks pretty sick....but they're not something I'd call economical

Holy shit, 3 grand for fog lights?

I'd go for something a tad smaller.

You forgot to include the license plate. All considered, you're losing about half of the air flow to the engine. Form over function?

This is what I was wondering...those fog lights aren't just taking up dead space, they're directly in the cooling path. But I'm the least mechanically-inclined guy on this forum so I'll defer to the engineers in the room.

particulardude · 11-04-2018, 06:25 PM

Thanks for the replies all. These lights were purchased in for my LR3 and thought it might be neat to see how they look on the M2 to potentially run as a little fun winter mode addition. Overall consensus and my opinion after seeing them mocked up is a no go.

The $3200 m235i racing ones are nut sack. These were under $100 😆

I agree on the potential airflow issues.

Only one no front plate ticket since April - I'm holding out...

Thanks again for the replies.

Care to share first impressions after Stage 4 upgrade? Do you feel extra power throughout the band? If so, would you say considerable? Pretty costly upgrade so just wondering if you feel you got your money's worth.

After a minor fuel issue, car runs great. Love it, exceeding my expectations. Tons of low end torque. Have been traveling on business and we've had a lot of rain recently so I haven't put a lot of miles on it since the upgrade. But no complaints so far.

So cheesey, but for $12 it's tempting.

Yes I did. Used a sharp knife to trim a little plastic and was golden.

Prepping the car for a road trip to Road Atlanta for next weekend with MVP. Trying PFC08s for the first time after years on Carbotechs. Also first time using my Quickjack.

I loved the PFC 11s on my E46 M3. Not sure how the 08s differ, but I think that’s the pad I will use next year.
