And can it be used without their splitter? $441 is very reasonable for the undertray with scoops.
It IS reasonable..but I suspect shipping $$$ to Conus for a box that size would be huge.

Looks like a man with moderate skills could easily modify a Oe bottom tray to achieve pretty much the same results.....hmmm

I bet an EAS group buy tho would be very well received.

Great infos. Can you tell what is the inner diameter of the hoses?
I have a splitter with proper inlets and I'm curious if i could use this dust plates for it.

Hello!

Yes I will have a look for you today

EDIT: I found a pic of the back plate, I will respond when I have the measurement of the pipe.

Count me in for interest in a group buy for the tray/plates as well...

Although I wish the backing plates were full diameter for the hose, it looks "squished" in the pics

Maybe this tray with the backing plates DrKev used would be killer

The tray looks really promising

Seeing this beautiful carbon tray gives me the idea to try and use a set of NACA ducts on the factory plastic tray. It would be way cheaper and even lower profile. I'll have to get under the car and see how much room is left on top of the tray...

I examined using NACA ducts in the undertray when I first contemplated this project. There is absolutely no room to accommodate them.

According to Realoem, M2 n55 uses different lower shroud (item #2) on m2 means no brake ducts (item #3) as per lesser F2x 2 series.

Makes me wander if retrofitting m235i lower shroud behind m2 bumper might allow space to retrofit oem brake ducts into the m2 inner wheel liners ???

Thoughts/views welcome

Shame RevZport don't sell their M2 Raze splitter components separately....

I'd buy the ducted top part of their kit...

I have the Lightweight cooling kit installed. Definitely noticed an improvement during my last track event at VIR. I will note that the ducts do hang down pretty low and scraped at a couple spots on the Grand Course during a downhill-into-uphill braking zone and wore a hole through the CF on both ducts.

Here they are installed:

Hello everyone!

Started a new job so haven't had time to have a look. So attached are pics of the pipes, and measured the diameter. Also a random pic of the stock back plate on front brake if you wanted to see it.

Does the backing plate have the airflow directed at the rotor or at the veins in the center of the rotors.


Important to know as the best design wouldnt cool just one side of the rotor but evenly across the entire rotor otherwise the rotor is subject to premature failure. ie cracking

Hi, I'm not sure how to explain, it wouldn't be at the center of the rotors (see the pic I have of the backing plate), but I do think it works well because the discs are ventilated. I will report back if I find any issues with cracking once I've done more track days this year.

I decided to go with the splitter kit of the brake ducts, just got a pic below if anyone else wants to see what it looks like (if anyone is interested in the rest of the kit).

I'm not a fan of the BP-E splitter, but it seems like their ducting system will work with the Edison Composite's GP lip, which I am a fan of.

EC's GP splitter is quite pricey...@ ~£1400 here in the UK.

This M2Comp MPerf style splitter to suit OGM2 maybe a better option with brake duct openings that look like they'll work with BP-E undertray brake ducts

Yea, I saw that. I'm just concerned of fitment issues, imperfections in the carbon, and the hassle of having to return it to China.

Returns have a 20% restocking fee and buyer pays for shipping

Really like the rear ducts thanks for sharing - where can I pick up a set?
