Interesting, although still a bit insane. You're pretty much on the way to a $90k M2.
The Rogue website is f'd up. Shows the set as $17k.
For once BMW has gone to fixed calipers after all these years. You get a 911 and it's had fixed caliper monoblocks since the 993 series. Seems like the fade has improved as well - stock M brakes were mostly crap.

they have a different set up on their site - the BREMBO RACE BRAKE KIT is $$$$$! and specific to their club racing program.

Possible stupid question. What are the 2 prongs sticking out from wheel/ hub in pics 4,5 & 6? My guess is it helps remove and mounts wheels. If so, where can i find them. Thx in advance.

Detailers Domain · 12-18-2016, 09:51 AM

you are correct they just hold the wheel and or the hub/rotors etc, makes things much easier.

something like this.

WOW that looks great! Really cool. I've never done a BBK but the looks alone are convincing... How do they feel? Are they much stronger? Or do BBK's offer less fade over time?

Looks good! Do the Brembos have a removable bridge? Or do the calipers need to come off for pad changes? I've had Stoptechs in the past, and removable bridge was a huge win for quick pad changes for track days.

all of the above they just lock up in a good way.

Detailers Domain · 12-19-2016, 08:07 AM

the brakes are great. they grab and grab hard, definitely an improvement over stock.

Detailers Domain · 12-19-2016, 09:15 AM

A few dirty shots.

Love those rims. Why is that side reflector still there though?

Do you have to remove the front bumper to access them? I had to do this on my e70 x5d and it was quite a pain so i still have mine sitting after 6 months. I have my set on their way so i was curious.

Detailers Domain · 01-08-2017, 10:58 PM

just some of the wheel liner bolts to remove them.

Detailers Domain · 01-29-2017, 09:20 PM

The dash camera installation -

I would recommend a pro doing this install, even though I'm sure I was capable of doing this install I was glad I left it to our in house pro installer at our shop. It's a little more in depth than hardwiring a radar.

Winy Insight FX - Dash Camera

Unboxing.

Proper tools

Removing some panels to get some easy access to hardwire the dash cam.

Removing the trim pieces around the mirror

Testing for ignition - on/off

Wires/Fuses

Ground

Nice and tidy.

Tucking in the wires (not the best photos)

Installing the micro sd card

Mounting the front camera

Rear camera mounted

Final install photos - more to come

Nice install job! Seems a little on the large side, is it intrusive to the passengers view out the windshield?

Detailers Domain · 01-30-2017, 04:41 PM

I thought it was large at first but it's so high up on the windshield it really doesn't affect much at all.

Do you think the trim removal resulted in any additional NVH / rattles?

Got these in and got them installed, I think it looks great!

When I saw the following threads I was inspired to get this done to the M2. I thought it would not only look good but would be a great way to do some OEM plus mods to make the car a bit tighter.

Steve_Jr's thread on his F30 - http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1234698

And this one from Europe
http://www.babybmw.net/forum/viewtop...710096a1ec1bf5

I believe the below are all the parts needed to do the M3/M4 F8x Carbon Fiber Strut Mod on our M2's.

Hex Bolt - 11-28-7-839-136 x 6
Guide Sup - 31-30-7-853-702 x 2
Hexagon S - 094C3 - 07-11-9-904-141 x 6
Torx Screw - 31-10-6-859-809 x 10
Fillister - 07-14-7-162-464 x 2
CFRP strut front end 1EA : 51618061631
Alloy Strut brace (left steering) 1EA : 31122284855

The tricky part was hoping that the eventuri carbon fiber air intake would fit.

Jesse my mechanic took the hold out and reversed the bolt on top to make it fit nice and tight put some padding under the high points that would touch or potentially rub.

All in nice and tight and looking good.

Some cutting was needed on the cover and some trim pieces

More pictures to come.

medphysdave · 03-15-2017, 05:46 AM
