Hey everyone,

I just picked up my 2018 M2 last week! Man, this car is incredible. For those questioning whether or not to get the M performance exhaust, I highly recommend it. The sound is insane.

I put together this video and I'd really appreciate it if you guys could check it out! I'll be posting a lot more videos of the car in the future as well so feel free to subscribe if you're interested in seeing those

I hope everyone is enjoying the car as much as I am!

Congrats ! Happy motoring. Of course you know that your car is 0.01mph faster with black kidneys, don't ya.

Do yourself a favor and record a cold start with the MPE valves all-open.

And you'll notice the difference in 'burble loudness' when you toggle between the 'DSC' (traction) and 'SPORT' buttons when releasing the throttle when cruising (toggling: just one touch between the buttons right next to each other).

Question: does your car feature 'the red pimple' to activate the MPE ?

For the 2017 version of the M2 MPE, BMW added a red button in the boot:

• to activate 'track mode' with the original MPE version (2016): once you've started the engine just double-click the remote control;
• to activate 'track mode' with the updated MPE version (2017): once you've started the engine you gotta get out of your car, open the boot, push the red button, close the boot, get back inside the car and subsequently double-click the remote control.

I think the red pimple is Euro only

[pissclams]

It is, and he’s in Santa Monica.

Cool video and congrats. Waiting to get that feeling in about 3 weeks when my 18 LCI will be ready for pick up!

Congrats and enjoy.

So glad I got the MPE. Hopefully picking mine up tomorrow!

That is so stupid

Thanks everyone! I'm enjoying the car so much already.

I'll be getting my black kidneys installed tomorrow I've been loving all of the different modes on the car. MDM is insane with how many crackles it has. The sound is so addicting! Turns heads everywhere, too.

As someone already mentioned, no I don't have the red button in the trunk. I just have the bluetooth remote.

Nice Video! I'll see you around in SM for sure...we're driving "twins". The exhaust is totally worth it.

[dr3wsM]

Congrats on the car! Cool Video! I was debating between the M performance and the Akrapovic, but ended up going with Akrapovic. They both sound pretty awesome tho! See you around SM!

[BMW_M2]

Congrats !

[deeechun]

Congrats! Maybe the LA owners can meet up one day

Typical Euro-crap. My French dealer said that he automatically re-sites the button to the front of the car whenever the M-performance exhaust is ordered.

congrats!!!!! simply perfect!

[mattschu]

I'd love to meet up and go on a cruise. I've been following this thread: http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...1407856&page=3

Hopefully there's another meet up soon!

Agree the MPE makes a great car even better. While in ED I had the regular exhaust so I got to experience both and MPE makes the car soo much better. I pretty much drive it with the valves open all the times.

Congrats and great video. You're a runner I see

Btw, how long did it take you from order to getting the car?

Thanks so much! Yeah I'm a big fitness enthusiast haha. I received my allocation on June 19th and got the car on the 12th of this month so a little under 4 months.

Cool video bro. I'm not really an exhaust guy but that sounds killer, looks good too! Santa Monica is so damn crowded now you're going to find urself trying to escape with that car.

[geogerf]

Congrats! I was just in SM this morning near the airport.

Smart move by that dealer.
