What did you do to your M2 today?

VisualEcho · 09-05-2021, 11:30 AM

Ordered my new wheels, so now it's just a 2 month wait, and then another 2 weeks after ceramic coating

. It'll literally be the end of November before I get my Summer wheels on, but it's all good, they will be worth it.

Went ahead with M4 comp seat retrofit, got brave with the colour too, think it payed off.

They're actually silverstone, but seem to look a lot more white in pics.

Anyone else that's fitted these, how did you get on with the rear bench? I've cut the metal bars I think in the correct place but can't seem to get the bench in?

The M4 rears fit in the M2/C? Wow!

Yeah back rest part goes pretty easily, just swap over the bracket at either of the ends from original 2er seats.

It's the lower part I'm having issues with as it seems too deep for the part it sits onto over hangs by about 1" therefore doesn't sit in the clips properly.

But I believe people do fit them with some alterations

Thanks! The colour was a bit of a gamble to be honest but I think they work well. Plus never seen this combo before on a M2

White seats definitely pop. Keep your seat cleaner handy

I think they look good. It's rare.

Installed the Amp Water Splash Cover on the OG M2... relatively easy, just had to remove a lot of the trim to get to it! Part number 65152715205

Yes indeed

Such a classic design

I have the exact same color… I am finally installing that MP Carbon rear lip later today

MikeF87LCI · 09-07-2021, 05:27 PM

Did some more work on the interior retrofit. Got both the seat badges wired in, swapped the seat control units from the originals so now switches work correct way round. Also managed to get the rear base in too.

Just waiting on the M2 emblems, they should be arriving tomorrow.

So happy with the results, some parts been a bit of an effort but really worth it.

Fantastic job!

Wow amazing! I can’t believe that the M4 rear would also fit in the M2. So nice.

I feel ok with the original seats but when I see these…. makes me want to also upgrade. But unfortunately used seats aren’t common in my part of the world.

MBP1865 · 09-09-2021, 02:43 AM

Got my BM3 activation code today, my charge pipe and intercooler arriving Friday, downpipe already at the house just waiting, looking to get everything put on early next week.

On the other hand, got word from the dealership that they recommend a full replacement of the diff(which will be replaced under warranty). So while the bolt-ons can go on, I'll be waiting on the tune as a just in case. No word on that lead time given current supply chain, so I must exercise a load of patience until I get that call.

Finally changed the kidney grills to gloss black! Looks nice.
