I have exchanged it for a matte carbon cover instead

It's actually not cleanly mountable because they had QC issues

I had to bend my oil cooler line to get it to clear and the Roundel would not fit

Good to know. I'm still waiting for the other decals before I mount mine. What other issues did you have other than the oil line placement?

The way they cut the holes for the roundel to fit is a joke

I probably will get a much nicer roundel and just glue it into place

Oh and lastly you're gonna have to remove all the foam insulation that goes around the fire wall it's not going to be usable

That's exactly how mine was made

So you're not going to be able to mount the roundel either ⁉️

Mine is mounted. You have to take your time and align each tab. Slowly push it in, fold the tabs in after it's fully seated, and you're golden.

Wow I can't believe they can't get that roundel mounting straight

Yours looks great but my OCD will seriously go overload so I'm gonna have to figure out some other way to attach it

Love the… M POWER 😂

3k (paid up a bit because it’s looked new without a single crease) easy install with remote coding help to code out electric seat module functions.

Installed a high-flow fabspeed catted downpipe in my N55 M2 today!

Bit of a bitch with the top V-clamp and transferring the metal gasket over for the lower junction but otherwise not too bad of an install!

Yeah stock exhaust,
Feels good! Not sure if I feel a difference yet, haven't had time to open her up on a big drive yet though. The sound though, perfect, OEM+ vibes, sounds deep and amazing, worth it for sound alone.

I just bought a VRSF catted downpipe on the day my warranty expired (12-11). I decided to get the catted version because of smell.

I have the stock exhaust and plan to keep for now, so I'm curious how yours sounds considering we have similar setups. Any videos?

I have only a rough before and after vid only up to 3.5k rpm as I wasn't warmed up and didn't want my exhaust too hot as I was taking it apart haha. Got one little clip warmed up though.
Msg me on insta and i'll send them over! @f87_aus

Carbon & satin black grill.

WOT Bimmer · 12-13-2021, 07:12 AM

Bought a BM3 and high flow downpipe. Super excited for stage 2!

While I wait for their arrival, I applied a couple of coats of ceramic coating to my wife's X3. Does it count posting a pic of a non-M2?

Love it ‼️

Worth every penny

TripleU · 12-14-2021, 06:02 PM

Just did my first long distance drive in the M2 from Phoenix to LA. Got to test the comfort of my Cobra Nogaro seat. For a bucket seat it wasn't bad. Of course it'll never match the stock seat in comfort but it's a good dailyable seat if you need a bucket seat for the track as I track mine often.
