Hang in there! It's worth the wait. I got mine on Thursday (after European Delivery). Placed a deposit on it 14 months ago.

I'd love to be able to do ED, but I have young kids (3 and 6), and it would a) cost a lot to have the whole family fly over b) the M2 is pretty small, and though I'm sure we could all fit, we couldn't carry all of our things to make it a family holiday, and c) if I were to go and do ED alone, my wife would be pressuring me to make it as short a trip as possible, which would be no fun either!

Yes, it seemed to open up a bit around 5K, especially after the heat from the 2 hour drive to Monticello. Past experience tells me driver school and autocross help to open it up quicker. This is from daily driving and 4 autocrosses.

I'm still playing with the recording setup and hoping to get some better recordings.

Changed the turn signal bulbs to the Philips Silver Vision bulbs. They still light up yellow but look a little cleaner.

rouxeny · 08-16-2017, 01:33 AM

Dropped the car off to get coated. Going to put on Modesta.

arwin · 08-16-2017, 11:23 AM

Wrapped the roof and mirrors in gloss black and installed my alcantara dash cover. looks great!

Nice!

I did this mod the first day after picking up the new ride from the dealer.

How long does a wrapped roof last if daily driven?

Break-in service complete! Thanks Charlie@McKennaBMWService

Time to get some track pads and hit the track

Deso · 08-16-2017, 09:44 PM

So my last contribution to this thread - those terrible M driving gloves - didn't go down too well here *thanks for being so frank, Corinne*

So hope I can redeem myself with my second contribution.

Every once in awhile there’s a picture of LBB that makes me regret switching to AW at the last second.

This is one of them.

They said about 3 years.
But I drove my last car with a roof wrap for around that time and it still looked good after 3 years

GinsMarc · 08-17-2017, 11:11 AM

Took my M2 to an autocross. It car was great. The driver was just okay.

dave72 · 08-17-2017, 12:08 PM

Tinted headlights

you should wrap it and PPF it to protect the wrap. should last you at least 5 years.

How is output affected?

Installed reflector deletes from IND. The rears are 100% easier than fighting the fronts to get the foam adhesive off.
