M2 CS Modifications - What have you done to your M2 CS?

Anyone add any leather conditioner. I can't tell if the leather is coated with something that makes this unnecessary? I put some leather honey on the front seats today and it looks like it absorbed. Testing front before I do the rears.

I would test the rears first . . .

I have avoided interior conditioning products for a while because they tend to have an oily residue (I HATE the artificial wet shine) and as they vaporize off they constantly fog the windows with a streaky mess. I just picked up a bottle of Griot's interior protectant . . . I am going to apply it in my leased X5 (returning in 6 wekeks) and see whether it does that before it goes in any other car.

Go through the Leatherique process. It's a great product!

So far so good, no unnatural shine and not greasy. Am wondering if there is a coating on merino leather that prevents absorption. Or it's just a good product. It does get very good reviews.

Yes! Looks great.

Same as I went with but I'll have EL midpipe. It's supposed to ship today but it is Groundhog day so one never knows.

In any case, both setups will make some "good" noise.

First day with the car, couldn’t help myself

A few minor cosmetic things that were bothering me.

Also want to add carbon side skirts, but I can wait until after the winter for that.

These are nice though,
https://ind-distribution.com/product...side-skirt-set
https://ind-distribution.com/product...er-side-skirts

Or maybe the M skirts with winglets, lol the pricing though,
https://ind-distribution.com/product...-rear-winglets

Wasn’t going to do anything under the hood, but these are nice and maybe easy enough to swap out in the event of a warranty issue. Though I doubt I’ll really do anything for awhile under the bonnet.

https://ind-distribution.com/product...harge-pipe-set

Maybe pedals too but there’s a lot of options I can wait.

Got these also which came just in time for the first drive.

I am in Australia and I looked on the website you posted to order, sadly I can't speak german. How did you navigate that
