The best thread on this forum. Man you know everything. I'm getting the black manual in August, taking delivery in Zurich.
First planned mods: *Drive in motion (Need to find someone with the knowhow) *Stereo upgrade. Not confident the HK system is as good as it should be considering the price. * Front and side grills to black. I did a test drive and I thought the stock exhaust was fine. This is my first M car (Previously had a Z4) so for me it sounds like a beast :-) |

I was always under the impression that single scrolls used ind cylinder manifold engineering and the engines natural exhaust pulse rate to ensure no two cylinders tried pushing exhaust through the hot side simultaneously. Thinking about it more thoroughly, that would hypothetically be possible in a 4 cyl like the Evos 4G63 but in a 6 cylinder, 2 cylinders would naturally have to be on the exhaust stroke at the same time at some point. While I understood Twin Scrolls had two inlets, i just thought that the entire hotside was basically split into two sections with two smaller impellar wheels. Thanks for the info and the article. I read it in it's entirety. I'm just getting back into pulling power out of a f/i engine.. Your post and the article were very educational and helpful.

I do too. However the reason I am considering bronze in I want to do something different than my last car, an e92 m3 Jet Black with gunmetal wheels...
Gold/Bronze may be too flashy and I'm not looking to stand out too much to LEO. The M2 stands out enough as it is lol. Thanks for your input.

Did you happen to be by the Tanger Outlets yesterday? I saw a BSM with Black Grill Surrounds and running no Front Plate.
I was in the Space Gray E90M3 w/ License Plate "M3VIL" coming from the opposite direction. This was the first M2 I see in the flesh, and I must say I was blown away but how aggressive and menacing this thing looks in person. The driver even gave me a downshift and I was able to have a taste of the awesome exhaust sound. |

Few new mods...
Carbon Fiber Mirror Replacements cames today. Ordered the actual replacement. Had the covers on my M3 and hated them...
Also while at the dealership getting the break in service, I bought the M performance Drive Analyzer which was cheaper there than I've seen it online, believe it or not... I also was due for a cellphone upgrade today so I went from Galaxy 6 to Galaxy 7 edge at best buy and to my surprise it came with a free 32" OLED smart HD TV (and for like $100 you have the option of a 48" or something).... So the new phone with the drive analyzer is a good time....No latency like the torque apps n others... Bad news, I smashed a pot hole and the mangled a rear wheel. the wheel which I know is strong as hell got SMASHED. So I ordered a new Michelin PS (OEM) from tire rack. The tire somehow only slowly leaked and I luckily made it home. Now I have to rush my wheel decision... Does anyone know where anyplace on LI, Queens thats stocks 19" aftermarket wheels with the proper offsets and BMW lug pattern and center bore??? Or F series M guys selling nice wheels? The offsets I know are the same or close to the m3/m4 and many other BMW's so hoping I can rent a car and just go grab some wheels tomm... the The bronze Ultra Leggras I wanted arent avail yet from what Ive seen so pretty upset that the M2 will be off the road for a day or two and I will be settling on wheels that I can get uickly and not get exact wheels Ive been wanting.

also vs a stock M2...All 6MT. Vids on reuest for obvious reasons...

New Mods...
As stated... mirror caps arrived, got the stainless M Performance pedals (replicas), some cool new GoPro stuff to ] capture the action, BMW M drive analyzer and some pics of the subwoofer/amp (did my best to make the installation clean and match interior... but it started to rain during the install but between the trunk amp and battery it's the easiest sub install ever...
Also the exhaust cutout...
