I was able to take some photos at the Lightweight Heaquarters in Germany during the first analysis of the European spec M2 Competition exhaust system.
The intention was making a comparison to the standard S55 M3/M4 Midpipe and get more knowledge about the new OPF/GPF (gasoline particle filters) in order to build a new performance exhaust system for the European market.
By the way: the project car was one of the very first delivered in Germany.
Hockenheim Silver is definitely not white

The silencer of the M2C is obviously really really big...

Indeed, it was a very interesting day with nice people and beautiful cars.
Lightweight has now an idea, how to develop their new M2C exhaust system.
