Saw this funky modified Porsche and had to take a picture with my M2 next to it. No roll cage in but back seats gone.

Turns out it's this car http://www.speedhunters.com/2017/11/...ew-beginnings/

Took the family out this weekend... this car is very slow with 2 adults, and 2 toddlers in forward-facing car seats, but it managed!

Needs more power though...

Downpipe + tune? Or swaparu with M2 Comp?

Needs more power than that. I'll try to get through the next 6 months in this form and then it's stage 2 turbo and supporting mods with a good tune. I'll bet 450-500hp feels perfect in this car.

Edit: no competition for me. Sticking with what I've got.

M3 Alex · 03-06-2018, 03:11 PM

Two more.

At first I thought you were joking, especially wanting more power with toddlers in the back seat

I guess you were not! You seem to be a true power junkie (in a good way)

F87_LCI · 03-13-2018, 03:34 PM

PPF. Tint. check...and check.

Next up...Ohlins R&T and VVF 107's.

Took a drive into town, where Oahu's most creative mural artists are allowed to show their talent, on the sides of buildings.

Haha! I would never drive like a crazy man with the kiddos in the back, but some spirited driving is ok, right? The car felt like it was towing a minivan with just a tiny bit of weight from the car seats, children and wife. Goes to show that this car is all about balance, but yeah, it needs more power!

There's something wrong with your car. You've shown photos of yourself and your family in photos you've posted, you and your wife plus 2 kids and child seats can't be more than 450 lbs. We test drove an M240i convertible, which is heavier, and has only 335 horsepower, and with the sales rep in the car the three of us must have weighed 425-450lbs and that M240i was fast. If your car, with the same 450lbs, is driving like you're pulling 4000 pounds behind you, something is very broken.

Watch this nice car comparison.

First post in a BMW forum ever, from a lifetime Honda owner:
Just picked up my American spec, LBB M2 from BMW Welt in Munich this past week. I then proceeded to do some cruising around Bavaria and Austria. Here are a few pics of the gorgeous Alps.

Nice!

Kaiserslautern? I lived there for a total of 12 years; miss it. Have you made it to the Ring yet??

Nitromidah · 03-18-2018, 02:18 AM

Yep! Current resident of K-Town for the next 3 years or so. I'm loving it so far.

Also, what is a good photo hosting site? Photobucket is exceptionally annoying.
