What did you do to your M2 today?

Bimmer28312 · 05-10-2016, 05:47 PM

Random question but does anyone know the diameter to the idrive button in the center console? Is it greater than 29mm??

Closer to 57mm
(This is the OD of the knob)

Just Code them off.

Then I'd have no front signal?

No. They flash Amber when you signal. But with the headlights on they remain off.

So you can do color matched reflectors but code off the ambers without having to change the color of the bulbs which, by the way, IS most likely illegal.

If you would like video I can send you something ... Let me know.

Interesting. I think the original question was in reference to an LED swap that I installed. I'll send a picture of what I've got when I'm back in town.

Nice. What's the M2 emblem for?

shemeld_135 · 05-11-2016, 02:52 PM

I couldn't wait so I added them all for the past hour or so!

Most difficult thing for me was the rear reflectors! Holy crap be careful for anyone removing them... take your time! Everything else was cake.

Can you take some far away pics so we can see those color matched reflectors a bit better?

Adem1534 · 05-11-2016, 03:05 PM

Anyone know how I go about coding my car/who to contact? I want to code the rear lights to be on as DRLs.

Very nice! I want the black ///M2 emblem; I'm just philosophically opposed to spending $105 for it. The black ///M3/M4 emblem is $21! Yes I know that's because the M3 emblem is OEM, and the M2 emblem is painted by IND. I guess I'll wait til the OEM black M2 emblem comes out.

Regardless, great choice of cosmetic mods

I'm seriously debating if i should get the MPE exhaust.

Twix · 05-11-2016, 03:17 PM

Everything looks good except the colour matched rear reflectors. It looks so out of place. Looks great in the picture with the reflector just removed.

No one offers black exhaust tips yet?

Are you planning on doing performance mods? I ask because there are videos of our cars with DP's installed, and it sounds nasty (in a good way)...

And you'll actually get some performance gains as well. I'm just waiting to see how people are addressing the CEL/DP fix before jumping in...

Active auto works does but they're sold out at the moment.
