Beautiful pictures! Are you on Bilstein PSS10s? If so, how do you like them?

Thanks, yes on Bilstein B16s/PSS10s. Initial thoughts are that:
  • I like the look - eliminates the wheel arch gaps that come from the factory
  • No more "woosh" sound when hitting bumps
  • At the lower end of the setting range (I tried 4 all around), the car eats up the bumps and feels much more composed on horrible NYC streets, better ride quality than stock, especially over rippled pavement. Basically it rides similar to stock Porsches I have previously driven. On stiffer settings (I tried 8 all around), car feels extremely tight and stiff, as expected
  • Adjustments are fairly easy and straightforward across the 10 setting range with clear markings, audible click and confirmed feel when it clicks into place. No need to raise car or take wheel off, accessible by laying down and reaching the adjusters.

I haven't had a track day since installing the kit but have a number of days before the end of the year. I may do a more comprehensive review then, if there is interest.

Thanks for sharing your initials thoughts. Much appreciated. Haven't read anything on the M2 forum on the PSS10s, though there are discussions on the M3 and M4 forums. Most riding on them seem to love them. I suspect that their reputation for being bullet proof add to the love.

Did you lower your M2 about 1.25"? Also, I'd be interested in hearing a review after your track day. Thanks again.

It really is embarrassing how much I look back at this car after parking, or how much I enjoy seeing it when approaching in a lot. SO visually pleasing, and fun to drive, and still rare, it's such a great all around experience.

Pointless enough?
