Mine arrived Dec and I picked it up 6 Jan - it had MPSS. I've changed the wheels to Vorsteiner and got new MPSS in a wider tread. Which means i have an original set of MPSS on original wheels as spares. Might have to cut someone a deal

Let us know when you're ready to sell. I always like to have a spare set handy.

Good luck with that ,knocked back my original order due to issue with tinted band on windscreen ,dealer and BMW looked after me on new order,the M2 I refused sold in twenty minutes off the showroom floor for more than I was paying ,and they sold a new order next day while the car I refused was waiting to be moved on to the new owner.

My original M2 order had continentals ,new car delivered this week ,fingers crossed for MPSS.

KW HAS and 12mm. It's a fraction too low at the moment, but I'll have that revised next week.

I had the subframe "campaign" completed last week, along with the revised backing plates and a look over the diff- the car feels perfect now- noticeably quieter.

The backing plates for the rear brakes? I spoke to my dealer a couple of weeks ago and they still weren't aware of any revised shields available.

Did you get a recall notice or anything for the subframe bolts? I haven't heard anything about it.

Your car looks amazing by the way.

Yes- for the brakes.

Apparently it's a reasonably common part?

Which spacers did you go with? Also so the tyres poke out the fenders or flush?

I think they're ST (were installed by CPC in Sydney).

Fitment is great- sits perfectly within the guards.

I'm looking to go up about 5mm as we're having some driveway issues.

Since ordering in May 16, I found out last week my M2 had completed production! (16 Jan). Patiently (not so patiently) awaiting to be boarded on her cruise holiday to down under. Any one else's car finish around the same time? How long did you guys wait between production end and tracking to appear on the 2wglobal site?

Specs:
MG
DCT
Sunroof
Heated steering wheel
Sun protection glazing

To add:
CF mirror caps
CF rear diffuser
Window tint
PPF
Opti-coat
