Ah ha! Now I know where I saw your car. Sorry I didn't remember when I was down there although I think we ran into each other anyway. Sorry for not remembering. I also saw your car on Kassle Performance instagram.

Car exceeded my expectations for what an entry level factory Motorsports car should be.
Let's just say I've spend almost as much on a home built E30 M3 race car and wished I could get my money back and spend it on another M2 CS Racing. Are they all sold out now? Wouldn't be surprised if they are. Anyway A HUGE shout out to James Clay of BimmerWorld for everything you have done to get me this far. I'll forever be greatful. Here are a few shots from VIR. Friday was spent with James in the drivers seat and me in the passenger seat. Showing me what the car is capable of and getting me comfortable for my first go on Sat. If I only had 1 /10 of his driving skill I would be a happy man. Very impressive. Although more impressive is his generousity and courtesy. He is a true Gentleman. My personal best at VIR thus far is a 2:09.17. I have about 50 laps in the car. I won't share Jame's time but let's just say we were cooking! And that's with me in the passenger seat and about 25 gallons of fuel and on Hoosier R7's. With Michelin slicks and qualifying gas and without my arse in the passenger seat, whoa nelly! I let my long time friends take laps around the paddock as well as some new friends. I shared the car as much as possible with everyone and what a pleasure doing so. It's safe to say I'm enjoying it as much as my M2 CS street car. Without further ado here are a couple pics from my time with the car. One of my favorite parts of the car is the fade bimmerworld bumper stickers they made for me. As of Monday 10am she is at the detailers getting polished, some PPF and ceramic coating. I know she is a race car but gotta keep her clean.

Heya, a favor if you don't mind.
When you go to adjust the wing, let me know how much spring tension is in the uprights. I had to pull them inwards quite a bit when screwing the wing in. |

Please, if you don't mind, post more pics of the wing. I'm really contemplating installing this. Although many of us may think it's ugly, I'm thinking it must be functional as hell for BMW Motorsport to sign off on it. My understanding is that it's an easy installation, using the strut mount location.

Just keep in mind though. The rear wing on the CS Racing is paired with the smaller trunk lip from the M2C. Not sure how the wing would work in conjunction with the larger CF lip
