It'll be interesting to see what you can do with the car once (if?) you take it to the track. Would love to hear your comparison vs your M4. Also, are you planning on carbon fiber roofing? That should save a little weight but it's also expensive AF.

I really wanted the CF roof if I could spec it from the factory or even port installed but neither is available as of now. CF roof saves 12-13lbs tho and I only wanted it because of the looks not really for the weight savings. I'll get my roof wrapped in black instead. I might get CF hood in the future tho. Some options save about 24-25lbs and I might do the lithium battery at the same time. But I already spent quite a bit on the mods so far. I'll take a break and enjoy the car for a while |

For those who are still looking for an M2C or any other BMW, I would like to give a brief review on my experience throughout this whole process as well: Even though I live in Bay Area, CA; I got my car from Rallye BMW in NY. F85Matt (Matt) referred me to one of the best Client Advisors I have met so far. I contacted slalomfever (George) probably in February and we have been in touch regarding this car since then. He not only fulfilled all my small requests regarding ordering, delivery etc but also went above and beyond in pretty much everything. Even though I was tracking the car based on my production# and what I hear from BMW genius, George was giving me updates whenever there is something new about my order. On top of this, he was very patient with my countless emails and always got back to me with an answer in no time. You might think there is nothing extraordinary here but these days it's very difficult to find client advisors like Matt or George. Not to mention, both of them have been receiving "M Sales Awards" on an annual basis In my opinion, car buying is special experience and a great CA can make this experience well-wroth it for you. I highly recommend both Matt (Knauz BMW) and George Javier (Rallye BMW) if you are looking for a new BMW. |

I think that's a decent, fair price for the brakes, I'm potentially going to sell mine too so I'm curious if yours sells easily or not LOL

I've heard of AP Racing brakes before and after watching these videos I have just messaged my dealer to de-spec the BMW 2NH big brakes so I can get an AP setup instead. It just makes sense if I am going to be tracking my car and I love how he talked about getting consistent braking throughout the whole of the track day too. I loved the width of those pads too!
Cntzl - In one of the videos the Essex rep talked about putting the brake set up at the front and still being able to leave the OEMs at the rear. What made you decide to put Ams front and read (I think that's what I saw from your pictures). Also, what are the product codes for the front and read brake set ups from AP?

I just sold mine for $5K plus shipping.I originally listed for sub $5K but several members, friends and my shop warned me not to let them go for less than $5K since they are basically brand new. In the worst case, I was just gonna keep them. If I sell my wheels I too, I will have recouped a big chunk of my spending on the mods
