M Performance Alcantara/Carbon Fiber Interior - 5 pieces - installed

Well not exactly just 2 pieces out of the 5.

I'm not all that much a fan of our "dry/matte" carbon fiber interior trim, I knew that BMW made some the Alcantara Carbon Fiber Interior Kit.

So I pulled the trigger picked up the 5 piece set for the two pieces.

The two pieces that I needed


Take a look

Before
Trim above the glove box


Open the glove box door and pull the trim off - use a pry tool if necessary.


Removed


After



Before
Driver's side dash vent


very easy to install about a 5 minute install

just a quick pull


pull the ac vent out from the bottom pop it out and replace it with the new piece (sorry no photo)

Wonder if the A-symmetrical stitching is on purpose? Makes sense you don't want your elbow rubbing on the stitching.

Hi Phil, do you know where I can buy this steeling wheel? I can't find this one anymore. I like this one better than the current one showed in the BMW Shop.

Nice job Phil!

[Detailers Domain]

Lon thanks!

[Detailers Domain]

Akrapovic in coming. Look out for the photos and videos.

[Detailers Domain]

can't wait to get this bad boy on.

Hmmmm when do you expect to have the Akra delivered and installed by? I need to come stop by anyways and check the shop out my buddy Aiman from Park Ave told me about you. I picked up my M2 LBB DCT Exec from Paul miller my good friend is a SA there and he also recommended to check your place out cause I'm 15k miles in and need a nice cleaning lol.

I also definitely want to hear the Akra in real life and check out the other mods you've done. Much better seeing them in person to help make my decision easier between MPE, Akra, and Meisterschaft. All the other stuff I'll probably just get from M Performance like steering wheel and all the cosmetic stuff.

Hope I can stop by soon I may shoot you a PM. I'm located 10 min from the Garden state plaza. Thanks Phil!

Also......unbelievable work you've done to this beauty. Can't wait to see what else you do man. Great job 👊🙌

hopefully in the next 10 days, I'll be at SEMA this week and once I get back I should be able to get it installed, other goodies to come I just received the Eventuri intake system

Got some pics from the unwrapping of the Akrapovic

A quick description from the Akra site.

Made from ultra-lightweight high-grade titanium, which will lower the overall weight of the car and improve handling. This perfectly finished ECE-approved system has been tuned to get the most from the TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder engine of the M2 and is designed to deliver more power all the way across the rev range. This new system features two separate tubes from the downpipe to the muffler – unlike the car’s original single-tube configuration. It is perfectly routed and shaped to provide optimum gas flow from the M2’s stunning engine and deliver a noticeable performance increase. The sound has also been enhanced by Akrapovič’s engineers; the unique external sound is higher in pitch, giving a true racing feel in the upper rpm range. The Evolution Line is perfect for everyday use, with low-rpm driving smooth and refined, but still showing the true potential of the system – and, when higher revs are hit and the valves are permanently open, the sound has an addictive racing tone. A simple plug-and-play system offers a superb addition to improve the performance of the BMW M2. Carbon-fibre tailpipes give an added look to the rear of the M2, to display its sporting potential. Performance can be further increased with the addition of the optional downpipes, which can be purchased with or without cats. To set off the system to its visual best, optional parts are also available.

I'm already excited with Akra with such extreme attention to detail in just the packaging alone. Quality!

[Oakleyguy]

Get that beast on!

(Thanks again for the Rupes )

[Detailers Domain]

I know I can't wait, it's on a lift at Park Ave BMW at the moment, it's just about all on. More pics, sound bytes etc coming soon.

Will also upload the Eventuri intake install.

[M2Dynamic]

Damnnnn that akra got me jelly now. Holy shit you are Not kidding about the attention to details man. That's absolutely beautiful. Congrats can't wait to see it on. I just can't get myself to spend that kind of money on just that one piece alone. Although it does seem like it's worth it if you have the liquidity which god bless you do. Congrats man!!!!

[Detailers Domain]

it's in the details for sure

Up next the Eventuri Intake Installation

Pick one up at IND - the team is amazing!

Eventuri Intake for the BMW M2

[Detailers Domain]

Here is pic heavy install of the Eventuri Carbon Fiber Intake for the F87 M2.

Picked this up from the team at IND.

Popped the hood only to find it a bit dusty and full of leaves so I decided to clean up the motor first.

Products used to do the engine clean up
Kranzle 1122TST Cold Water Pressure Washer
Kwazar Venus Pro Super Foamer
Wheel Woolies 20 inch Black Boar's Hair Brush
Adam's Polishes All Purpose Cleaner
Sonax Plastic Care - Exterior and interior dressing
Metro Air Force Blaster 8 hp





Hit the motor up with some Adam's All Purpose Cleaner


Agitate the dust and grime


All clear to rinse it down


A quick blow dry while the motor was running will ensure good drying times

Used the Sonax Plastic Care to dress up the engine bay


Nice and clean and ready for my next step.


Unpacking the Eventuri Carbon Fiber Air Intake.


Great packing to ensure nothing is broken in transit

Lots of stuffing and everything was organized well - packing slip.



Opened it up and it was Christmas! Who doesn't love carbon fiber!


Detailed photos of the parts










Of course being a bit OCD I went ahead and polished it out and coated it with Nanolex SI3D HD

Rupes Ibrid Short Neck
Adam’s Paint Finishing Polish
Nanolex EX
Nanolex SI3D HD - Pro Use Only
Uber All Purpose Microfiber Towels

Now to the good stuff

Intake looks beautiful. Have you thought about adding the M3/4 Cf strut brace?
