Sure! Just send us a OM when you are ready. I am sure we can recommend some passes to drive. Or maybe you could join us - once we have a date for this summer's tour.

Did you fit the spring or leave it out?

I got somewhat used to it after driving the M2 for 2.500km and I can certainly live with it, but for me it was the only thing they could actually improve on the car…..and I did improve it on my car! After 3.500km I fitted the UCP replacement clutch pedal and it made everything I did not like about the standard M2 clutch go away. This modification is cheap and gives a night and day difference on how the M2 clutch feels. I love it and love my M2 even more

Just out of curiosity, do you think the M-performance Pedal covers will fit on this?

The standard rubber covers of the M2 pedal fits perfectly, so any other pedal cover will fit also...

Kept it in, with setting on Sport. If I futz with thing any more, it will be to take the spring out for a little more resistance. At least one other person on this board tried the Race setting, and the description wasn't so good. But the combination of the Sport setting and the built in stop really makes the pedal much more pleasant to operate.
As I've said, I'm also a fan of a SSK with this set-up. You really ought to try it. |

I'm now driving without the spring, but want to test with the spring...I forgot which side goes up of the spring Did you also haven to get used to the fact that the UCP clutch pedal is nog slightly lower then the brake pedal? Standard it used to be higher then the brake pedal and felt way to high when releasing the clutch. With the clutch stop in place it is a really short throw clutch....

Did not take me more than a couple minutes to get used to the pedal placement elevation on Sport. It felt just right to me, as did the new pedal throw. |

Question: I am gearing up to buy an M2.
Hearing some of the complaints about the MT in the M2's 6MT, it reminds me of the 135i I am currently driving (later model N55). On my 135, I added the stopper that reduces clutch overtravel and I love it - Best $10 you can spend on one of these cars if it overtravels (and apparently the M2 does). I also uninstalled the clutch delay valve, which if you're not familiar, only allows fluid to travel through a pinhole - the net effect is the clutch engagement is mushy and vague - probably to appeal to masses who are not very experienced with MT. Is anyone aware whether the M2 has a clutch delay valve? If so, removal of it should make clutch engagement much more defined.

Would be keen to hear more about how much difference there is between the auto and manual in terms of noise. I'm obviously guessing you don't get those bangs on the up shift? Would only guess they sound similar on decel? |

It might just be my imagination, but I feel like the DCT sounds louder than 6MT.
