Or maybe it's the other way around and the DCT stays the grocery getter and the M2C MT hits the track?

I like the new wheels but the exhaust tips are not doing it for me.

How do you like the down pipe now that you are out of the woods on the CEL? Would you recommend it? How's the butt dyno? Any improvement on throttle response?
Manual will be for weekend cruising. We'll see what I end up with.

BMW had to replace my FEM after that CEL issue. So far, it's running fine. I wouldn't say there's a huge difference in power but in comfort mode, it's definitely more responsive plus it sounds pretty good!

Those stock chrome tips had to go!

Thanks! Was hoping this is an off-the-shelf item also for other models, but looks like some serious (and good looking) DIY! Jealous

Very grippy. Much more so than stock.

All parts from IND, will definitely be ordering through them in the future.

I would think you would want to hide those ugly US spec bumper cut outs, not show them off.

After driving 1602 miles on ED, dropped it off yesterday for shipment home. Saw 3 other M2's there destined for the states and had the opportunity to meet the owners (both Bimmerpost members) of 2 of them. Great time but sad to leave my M2 behind and head home. More anticipation I s'pose.
