What did you do to your M2 today?

seanyx11 · 03-05-2019, 11:17 AM

I just realized how much I've posted in this thread the past few weeks

So many mods, so little time

Anyway, I got my autotecknic carbon fiber key fob case and carbon fiber antenna cover. The key case is very nice and high quality, and just snaps on over the key fob (no adhesive). The antenna cover is very high quality and nice and thin so it fits over the existing antenna cover with some 3m tape. It's thin enough where you can't really tell it's a cover and not a replacement. I'll post more pics when I get it installed.

I have the same key fob cover. It fits super tight and doesn't pop off when dropped. It has lasted 3 years with my M235i and now 6 months with my M2C. Highly recommended!

I just did this as well! Wish front plates weren't required in Illinois, but at least there aren't any holes in my bumper!

Haven't had any issues with no front plates in the suburbs. In Chicago though my dad has gotten a couple tickets with his M3 for no front plate.

Installed VRSF FMIC and chargepipe and BM3 stage 2 tune. The car is an absolute beast now!

The project for today was a rear carbon tower bar installation.
It's a great looking and heavy duty product from Meister-K from Japan.
The install was easy-peasy, took less than 1 hour with clean up. It replaces the factory reinforcement plate behind the trunk side trims, only some little cut needed on the side trim panels.
Some more pictures can be found in my build topic.

Looks good, any difference in feel or just for looks?

Will see on this year's first trackday on Saturday.

Those look good. I've been thinking of doing the same. Please post some photos when you get them mounted

rtr76 · 03-08-2019, 01:22 AM

Show us photo of your car with them, please.

Today i got a package, it was the Weichers front strut bar i'd ordered. I expected it to arrive much later so i was positively surprised. I installed it already, just a 30 minutes work.
It was just in time before the trackday tomorrow. I will see how the car behaves with front and rear strut bars installed.

Shouldn't strut bars be mounted directly on the strut bolts?
In the picture, what is the bar doing? Holding the strut body?

Got this bad boy out after 5 months

M2CJL · 03-09-2019, 09:09 AM

Put my wheels back on after powder coating.

M Fifty · 03-09-2019, 11:52 AM

Set the rivnuts in the inner wings.

Tazer999 · 03-09-2019, 06:06 PM

Bought some carbon fiber side grills from Yomato Carbon. 3rd order from them now. Can't wait to order the side skirts and front lip. So nice having a Canadian supplier and not having to deal with shipping cross border from the states
