For the amount of money you pay for MP suspension, why not go for KW V3? My friend has the GPower stage 2 for his M5, seems very stable. They currently have stage 1 kit for M2. Intake, Eventuri or wait for GruppeM, but not too sure if they plan on making one for M2. For wheels... I ordered BBS FI-R, I always have the perception that RAYS are for Japanese cars, but that's just me.

If you plan to just do high speed runs with the M2, then ECU mods are cool, but I don't see how increased horsepower and torque is gonna make open back roads easier and fun. 370hp is perfect for 106 and other twisties.
For now, this is gonna be future GF's car so not all out just afraid future GF gonna blame it not fast enough and I'm not gonna drive often, I got a driver for weekdays and a SUV and full SP Engineering GTR with over thousand RWHP to drive on weekends... but not sure what future GF gonna say once in my GTR... just no exotics cuz my boss sold my old 458 spider and paid me back 6 months later...

Glad you going BBS FIR, originally the wheels I wanted, let me check it out when installed, ordered TE37 cuz only saw BBS CIR correct fitments for M2, and found the final set of 20" TE37 in Japan or 3-6 months wait, gotta make fast decisions within that day...

Eventuri makes a intake for M2 but not shipped yet, my friend ordered it for me already. FTP=Fabspeed Motorsport AA=Active Autowerke WT=WAGNER TUNING? Which brand downpipe you installing?

If you are in Taiwan, you can get FTP pipe here locally. Yes, AA and WT are the companies that you listed. For downpipe, I ordered Akrapovic, they have catted and catless downpipes for M2 along with their full exhaust system.

oops i missed the Akrapovic downpipe part, what charge pipe is FTP, and where can you grab it? You must know Mr. Chow if you got Akrapovic exhaust, he recommended my tire size... Maybe I can drop by later to see your car, which shop and address it at?

You can add my line: davidyc224 and I'll send you the detail

No, I am getting my Akra stuff (downpipe, exhaust system, diffuser, mirror caps) from US directly, will be shipping them back by ocean freight when they are ready.

Trust me, when I was young and couldn't even afford a E30 M3, you don't know how I feel, that's why a few years ago when I can afford a E92 M3, I refuse to buy a complete one and bought a 458 spider instead, you would not wanna know what I did to that non complete E92 M3...

You got a point but if she doesn't like it, I'll just drive it, and get her another car she wants if I can afford it. Also my boss decided to let me keep the Cayenne if I just in case I need a bigger car.
