Joined the OG M2 MT club

So long story short, the X3M as quick as it is leaves a bit of fun to be desired and I had an M2 itch that needed scratched. Just picked up my MANUAL M2 in LLB to join the X3M and I am loving it. Car is in fantastic condition and I have a lot planned for it.

The car was screaming for some M style mirror caps so picked up some carbon ones and installed straight away.

If someone could tell me what I need to get CarPlay (pre lci) that would be great. The wireless is not specced.

I know most people get the M2 for the fun/handling characteristics, but was the power underwhelming for you hopping back to back between the S58 and N55?

The X3M is a missile and is deceptively fast. The M2 is quick but no where near the pulling power of the S58, I don't feel like I need more power in the M2. Both engines are fantastic.

Fantastic news, congrats!

Agree on OG M2 power...not saying more wouldn't be nice, but I think it's plenty and fits the car perfectly.

That's a cracking pairing.
N55 and S58

M2 FEELS fast which is a USP Vs quattro and I imagine SUV fast cars.

Honestly down a narrow B road I couldn't handle much more power than 400 to the wheels I don't think.

Arguably one of the last balanced M cars are the M2s before we get into bloatware GTR wannabe HP territory!

Reach out to kubax for Apple CarPlay. He is the preferred coder around here. He's remotely coded my car and it was quick and easy.

Ditto. From "I want CarPlay" to "oooh this is nice" was 2 hours. He's fast!
