Hey Magnus, how did you get those dials on your video? I have Harry's and use it for lap times but use GoPro for in-car camera... Do I just need to plug in my OBD and connect it to Harry's and somehow overlay the data to my GoPro footage?

Any insight appreciated, cheers!

cenz422 · 04-25-2019, 04:08 PM

Matched paddles to the start/stop

You can use Dashware software for such a job. I'm using it too.

Finally got my M2 on Wednesday. Things that i have done so far is perfect the seat position lol still learning the iDrive system and reading as much as the owners manual as i can. I would like to see how to go about coding the vehicle to fold the mirrors every time i lock the car.

BimmerCode is a really easy way to do this. There's a giant thread about it 👍🏼

Excellent!

El Torro. Looks like a little devil hiding beneath

Wrapped the roof of the car in gloss black vinyl. It was long overdue

Copy the video from the Gopro camera to the phone, then Harrys can use these video files to generate video with overlays just like you would with videos recorded with the mobile. One problem though is that the gopro cuts longer videos into 4GB files that you need to concatenate before Harrys can create longer videos with data overlays. If you have lower video resolution or shorter videos this is of course not a problem.

switzerr · 04-27-2019, 02:03 PM

Ground control camber plates installed! 2 degrees for the street up front. 3 degrees for the track!

Next are the wheel studs, Lightweight front spoiler, my PFC 11 pads, fluid upgrade, and my square Apex FL-5 set up.

Great, thanks! I would have thought an OBD would be needed to record things like throttle and brake input, or can Harry's do that too?

Some clean-ish laps around Spa.

M2er · 04-27-2019, 07:36 PM

Long time reader first time poster. I gave my car too much throttle in wet conditions in a rotary (roundabout) forgetting that my car was in DSC off mode. It was at relatively low speed, but it skid 180 degrees and jumped a curb with the rear wheels

Totally my mistake. I’m so fortunate that no one was hurt and there was no visible damage the car. I am very humbled and sad. Need to get the car checked.

You connect an OBD2 dongle over bluetooth to the phone where Harrys logs all data

How did your brakes hold up? Standard brakes?

Yes, standard brakes with PFC 08 pads. They held up great, but Spa is easy on brakes. Only 3 big brake zones and pretty well spaced out. I did come close to boiling the fluid at Hockenheimring though, so Castrol SRF or similar is a must with stock brakes.

ForniteFever_01 · 04-28-2019, 11:49 PM

Got the CS steering wheel, CF steering wheel trim, and the CF/Alcantara shifter trim installed!

///M TOWN · 04-29-2019, 03:38 AM

I hit 155 for the fist time.

What a rush.
