So shiny you almost need to wear shades.

Doesn’t that wall bother you?

It does, a bit, but it's off-street parking, so no one can park beside me. The building is very old (historic dist), so yeah, on windy days I'm like, hmmm...

In an earthquake just forget it, whatever is parked there is toast.

Bye bye CDV.
Much crisper shifts and a nice predictable catch point with the CDV removed.

Also installed the ASD delete harness. No more ridiculous drone and having to yell when talking in the car. MPE is still nice and loud but more natural sounding, coming from the back end instead of enveloping the cabin.

They look great though!
I have only driven like 5km from the workshop home with the new springs but I actually felt the stock springs beeing harder.
Well time Will tell. Looks better though

Interesting. I'm not aware of any lowering springs made for the F87 that are a lower spring rate. It's probably placebo effect.

The reason they kill your stock shocks/struts is because they take them out of the range BMW specified them to be built for. Depending on how many miles are on your car and how you drive it, this can take 5k or 20k to do this.

However, if you're happy then go with it bro! That's the whole point!

Yeah, what a PITA. We removed the coolant pump and replaced the coolant. Car is a 2018 with 25K on the clock, so it worked out in my favor.

Recently installed my 034Motorsport 2 Piece Floating Front and Rear Brake Rotor for BMW F8X (m2, m3, m4) and the Review is right here: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=2049119


It's a super indepth review regarding the 034 motorsport brake rotors, and also encompasses: how brake rotors work in general, what 2 piece brake rotors are, how floating rotors work, the different types of slotting, etc.

I also scaled the images down to 40% size so they should be more viewable without being too large. I think they are still a bit big, so in my future reviews I will likely be using a 40% scale.



Also these are pretty significant upgrades for anyone who tracks their m2 and requires additional braking performance and rotor cooling to counteract brake fade.

Yup, that's why I really love these rotors, because they have the potential for life time warranty which is insane for a track item.

A few interior mods. Comp seats for my OG from a local sale / swap. Matching polar blue stitching too. These seats really are a step above the original, it really keeps you in place.

And door projector lights

I originally wanted to buy IND cf emblems and have them custom paint the white quadrants to LBB but since there’s a long wait for it, i started to look for an alternative.

I found this company that makes 3D emblems for the full set (hood, trunk, steering wheel badge and wheel caps) and had them custom painted to LBB and Gloss Black to match my vehicle.

Sorry for the crappy pics as the vendor sent this actually via video. I’ll send updated pics later on once i get them. I’m pretty stoked!

This is a good time to add mesh behind the bumper and grills if you were ever thinking about it.
