Fantastic build.
What are the weight savings with carbon fiber roof and other carbon fiber parts? How do you like Ohlins coilovers? |

Looks fantastic.
I absolutely love that roof skin vs the crappy skin BMW is now selling for the M2.

who did the cf roof install? I'm thinking about having IND do it, but they are kind of far away.

Thank you! The car itself came with iDrive4 in Hong Kong with GPS, so I had iDrive6 EVO (8.8" Touch Screen) installed at a local guy that can also have CarPlay enabled. That was the idea! Thank you Quote:

I've since got rid of the Ohlins coilovers because they just aren't suitable for the roads here. OEM: My kid would vomit during/after a drive Ohlins: My wife asked me if my car was broken Quote:

Thank You, and actually I had put the badge back on for the Photoshoot. Now I am on the fence about taken it off again. I mean you can't really see the M and the 2. If the styling of the MP roof matched the M3/M4/M2 CS I would have likely chose it. I didn't use the M Performance one because the indent of the roof ended at the antenna with a U instead of flowing through the entire roof. There was also the issue that I wanted a 2x2 CF Roof to match all the MP parts that I want to use. Traditionally the CF roof is 1x1 CF and all the MP parts would be 2x2 CF, driving a lot of OCD people off the roof. It's also this very reason that I chose to paint over the hood buldge of the MP hood, that it was not in 1x1 CF. Low, not really. But I don't get cramps anymore after long journeys because the seats are using a denser foam It was the OCD me. This is my own take on the M2 CS It's still cheaper than buying an M2 CS

ashtaron14, thanks for the feedback about Ohlins coilovers. So - in essence no amount of adjustments could yield a more comfortable ride?

Updates: YCW Suspension, E90 Clutch Slave, MP Lip
I've actually been busy
I've been working with YCW Suspension since the end of January. They are basically MFactory's suspension division. The process is that I get my car weighed, cross weight recorded, data is calculated, spring rates are suggested, and then the suspension is built. After they are built, each shock is put onto the shock dyno to make sure the valving meets the target. Then it's installed onto the car. All this happens in Hong Kong, so for me it's local and I can get the support I need should I want to rebuild/revalve them in the future. Specs: Front 8K/Rear 12K Swift Springs. Black & Orange to match the car and the stitching Rebound adjustable, At the top mount for the front, and it's here for the rear Did the E90 Clutch Slave mod. The pedal is lighter because the hole is bigger (less pressure for the same volume). I don't have trouble with launching the car in 1st and shifting from 1st to 2nd anymore. This clutch slave matches the programming of the Auto Match-Rev better than the stock one, but the downside is that there's the some sounds coming from the clutch pedal (was also in the E90, no idea how to explain, but it's only there when clutch is engaged). The MP CF Front lip In 2x2 CF

In any case I've moved on to YCW Suspension, and I am very happy with them.

It was looking relatively promising till you swapped out Ohlins for this other suspension. LOL
I do like what you did w the Recaro seats, mine may need reskinned as well. |
