[QUOTE=BigKutta;25843832]Awesome! How you liking the M so far?[/QU
Short answer...This is the best all around car I have ever owned. I love pushing it to the limits and how it rewards it by making me look like I know what I am doing. lol |

It's fun, makes it more enjoyable to drive IMO. Ive been driving manual cars since before I had my license, downshifting and heel-toe'ing are easy to me. But just driving around in the M, whether on some curvy back roads having fun, or just putting around the city, it makes it fun. If I want to really focus and get the most "connected" feeling possible, I'll just turn TCS off and do it myself.
I might end up coding it off at some point so I don't have to have TCS completely off, but for now I like it. |

Installed the new wheels, new mudflaps, and new brake pads.
BC Forged TD01 in Matte Bronze 19x9 22 19x10 32 Michelin Pilot Sport 4s 255/35 275/35 Rear looks surprisingly stretched. Hawk Performance Ceramic pads. Rears don't have a slot for the brake pad wear sensors. Also they have that small click when you go from reverse to forward as the pads move in the calipers. Otherwise they're feeling good so far after a few miles around the neighborhood.

Also, wheels look good. So many good options it's hard to narrow it all down. |

And yeah I wanted to go a different route. Originally wanted to TE37s but so many complications with that. I like the 763m or the Apex mesh style wheels too but decided to go with something else.

That seems strange that there is close to an inch difference for tires that are both 275 width? Is that normal?

One tire is SL (Standard Load) rated at 1,565 lbs. with a tread width of 8.9" and the other is XL (Extra Load) rated at 1,764 lbs. with a tread width of 9.8".
The XL tire is reinforced and has a stiffer ride which probably accounts for the wider width, so it can carry more load spread out over the width. Tire Rack's explanation. https://blog.tirerack.com/blog/tucke...xl-load-tires- |

Edit: I actually checked the MPS4S in 255/35/19. It has a 92Y SL with 8.2" width and a 96Y XL with 8.9" width so the load rating and width difference must be a thing. Last edited by AlpsRider; 02-25-2020 at 02:50 PM.. |

I read somewhere that if you reuse the rear clips from the OEM brake pads they won't move in the caliper. |

It's a BMW star spec (for which vehicle and location I don't know) According to the Tire Rack, it's also a 96Y XL https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...XLV3&tab=Specs It supposedly has a 9.0" tread width (versus 8.9") and weighs 25 pounds (versus 24 pounds) |

Rear - HB193Z.670 I do remember reading that before but it didn't come to mind at the time. The hardware around the pad did feel a little loose. Few days into dailying with them and they feel really good. Still have good bite and not getting any noise besides the click going from reverse to forward. Can't say I could do a fair judgment on dust just yet. Since I changed my wheels from the stock gloss black to matte bronze I don't have a good visual. All I see is the rust that came off the rotors since I wash the car every Saturday. So maybe after this Saturday when I wash them I can get a better idea looking at how dirty the wheel bucket water and my brushes get. Also the remnant OEM brake pad material on the rotors are probably still coming off. Going to wait for a month or so before I update my thread about them.

I found other cars that use the same pad size and searched that part number. Most places don't say it fits the M2 but I just trusted in the pad size and it fit.

Sorry guys just saw this. I just got my M2 and just started driving with a group of guys that grew up in my hometown. Specifically a Viper ACR and his friends, my buddy in his RS3, etc. Looking forward to some BMW drives with y'all soon. |
