What did you do to your M2 today?

Duke Silver · 03-06-2021, 09:49 PM

I replaced the MSS springs with bilstein B16 coilovers, also cleaned the hubs and put on 7.5mm + 10mm turner spacers. Pretty happy how it all turned out, didn't go too low with the coilovers as Australian roads are far from being the smoothest.

Had some parts delivered, parts for competition front bumper retrofit and full set of blacked out exterior roundels

WOT Bimmer · 03-07-2021, 07:27 AM

Changed the oil. Not overly exciting, but I noticed the little ///M logo printed on the underside of the filter. Kinda cool!

Some bits were sourced 2nd hand others new from bmw.

not too bad really, considering there's no good DIY and first time doing this on a BMW. Took about 3 hours or so, and could shave an hour off easily doing it the next time

Love your car!

Finally joining the club! My super sports are toast and I’m making the switch to a set of sport 4s. Excited to see if they live up to the hype.

Put my deposit in on an allocation my local dealer had about two weeks ago and was notified it went to code 150 and production has started

AndrewC1989 · 03-11-2021, 11:19 AM

Finally took it out of the garage and washed it

Those wider spacers make all the difference, even though it's minimal.

I agree, you wouldn't think 3-5mm would make that much of a difference but it absolutely does.

I have thought of running 15/12 many times, instead of the 12/10 I have. Aren't you using 15/15?

Yeah, I used to run 12/10 and switched to 15/15 so a 3mm increase in the front and 5 in the rear.

15/12 is probably the right balance, 15 rear is a little aggressive.

If you recall, I had to dremel a little bit of plastic/metal in the rear wheel wells because there was a small amount of contact going on over heavy compression:

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. 15/12 would be near perfect (depending on camber and drop).
