Has anyone else noticed that they have not built a single Hockenheim Silver with orange stitching? I hope you can do so!

Fixed / non-adaptive suspension? I assume so.

It hasn't been confirmed, but all of the M2 test mules have angled exhaust tips like the M3/M4 comp exhaust.

See this post from late October 2016 (AFAIK the first M2 Competition test mule was made earlier that month): http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...2#post20780982

^^^I wonder if so few of these have been HKS to prevent us from getting a good look at the color?
I don't recall any of the S55 M2 mules being a silvery white...but then again, who knows if I have seen all of those videos.

Does anyone know if this “Push the Limits” moniker is real?

I hadn’t seen those until tonight - they’re very good and looks as good as real BMW advertising.
