Hi,

i'm new here, my name is Ken and I live in Belgium. I've owned this car, my first BMW, for the past 2 years now and it's been great overall. I've not had the best of luck with my previous cars and i'm amazed at how little this car needs to be happy

It's been a modded a tiny bit already but I want to do some more stuff to it, thought this would be a great place to post all of this and maybe get some advice here and there.

The car:
2017 BMW M2 LCI N55 manual
I call it a lightweight spec because of the lak of sunroof and manual seats.

It's got about 50 000km/30 000miles.

Mods so far:
-Alcantara M performance steering wheel
-Black M performance kidneys
-Carbon mirror caps
-accexon reflector delete (honeycomb)
-Burkhart engineering braided brakelines
-RBF660 brakefluid
-Pagid rsl29 brakepads front and rear
-BMC airfilter
-Michelin PS4S front and rear
-Eibach lowering springs
-Red starter button
-Passenger sunvisor without health and safety labels

A few pictures:

-Do88 intercooler

Beautiful car!

[Ice_ken]

Thanks!

All the hardware has been fitted, uploaded the stage 2 93octane BM3 OTS map.

Wasn't happy with the OTS burbles, way to loud for my taste. So decreased those and so far so good.



probably won't be keeping the catless DP, might be to loud for trackdays.

Exactly my taste, my fellow Belgian!
I just bought a BMW M2 pre LCI with 37000 km and I am looking for a front lip. Can you share which one you exactly have?

I really love that wheel finish. Can you tell me who did the work, if it was a Prismatic Powder, anything?

Update:

had to pass technical inspection so had to remove some mods, but it went fine and passed no problem:


With the upgrade in power and with some findings from my last trackday, decided to upgrade the coolant radiator and rear brake cooling:


other stuff todo:
- fix the horn (mount broke, found it lose in the bumper)
-refit front brake cooling
-Fit the Pagid RSL's front and rear
-Refit the splitter

During:


Radiator DO88 vs original:


Fitted:


Brake cooling fitted and dustshield modified:
