Awesome first mod. Can't wait to see what other goodies you're going to do on the M2!

Photos at the shop, M2's are starting to pop up. A fellow Long Beach Blue at the shop.

Some updates - Front Tension Arm Bushings and Sway bar links were replaced - suspension should handle a bit sharper with these mods, along side with the drop.

It looks even better on the E9x M3s as well.

E30 Racer · 06-04-2016, 08:05 PM

What products are you using (or recommend using) on the leather?

Daniel L · 06-05-2016, 02:28 AM

By far my favorite wheels right now but the fitment just doesn't look right

stefan · 06-05-2016, 09:41 AM

275s look stretched funny enough. I'd have gone 0.5" narrower on the rear wheel and put a little more meat on those bones but to each their own. I just don't think the wheels are being done justice. 275s belong on 9.5" width wheels. So at 10.5 the stretch is looking a little weird. Any more than 275 and you're probably rubbing though.. I'd probably do like the 9.5 rears 275/35 and fronts maybe 8.5 on 255s.

Does make you realize how awful the stock M2 wheels look. I am convinced BMW has lost its mind, considering they could probably just hire BBS as they have done in the past to make a decent looking wheel for the car.

The FI are arguably one of the best looking wheels on this generation of M cars.

I have 6 cars with Expel its great stuff- not cheap but when its on you cant tell- negatives is that while it protects your body against MOST rocks and debris- the road "stuff" can "embed" in the plastic or "bunch it up " a bit where it got hit, and looks a little old over time - but you can always replace it every 2 years or so- but that is money of course. But your paint is probably 90+% OK and thats the main point.

CLUBBER · 06-07-2016, 01:48 AM

Looks amazing. Can't wait to see it with the drop 👍

Detailers Domain · 06-07-2016, 09:13 PM

Nice clean install co's are in, ss brake lines are in, adjustable sway bar links.

Looks amazing! I'm glad to see you got the wheels to fit nicely with the drop. I have a set of wheels very similar to your specs but a tiny bit more aggressive. Would you be willing to share your alignment specs?

Detailers Domain · 06-07-2016, 09:48 PM

I will see if I can get them from the alignment shop
