I love the look of leather, I just cannot stand it in the southern summer heat (even with Ceramic window tint).
I swapped the M2 Leather seats\door cards for the M-Sport Hexagon Anthracite Cloth\Alcantara interior that comes standard in a 2-series outside the US. Bolts right up without issues; though I had to swap all the electronics over, including swap passenger seat cover from one cushion to the other as Euro Occupancy sensor is way different than the US one (even though it uses the same plug). Entire swap (including un-upholstering and re-upholstering for the passenger occupancy sensor) took about 5 hours. The "Estoril Blue like" stitching color is very vibrant under the light. However, there's an obvious difference when comparing it with Polar Blue stitching (Shift\brake boot and center arm-rest). I'll eventually get those stitching matched. The US Passenger Occupancy sensor pictured I got from a junk yard, but it was no good (i think it had been rained on or something), so I just swapped skins from one cushion to the other instead. Just FYI, that sensor is "GLUED" onto the seat. No easy task to get it off. EDIT: Updated DSLR images attached Last edited by StarMan; 04-04-2020 at 06:04 PM.. |

Yeah that's my only gripe with this is that the stitching is different. Once it's all matching it'll look killer!

Started my M2 for the first time in a week. I went to the grocery store. I got a low battery alarm and it asked to be driven some more. I had to go for a drive because it became an essential task. Nice to have an excuse to stay out longer than the stay at home order. And since I was by myself I put no one in danger.

Pulled the cover off and did an essential run to the drug store. My wife wondered why it took so long to make the 2 mile round trip...
What is better than an empty twisty road? |

Got new tires installed to replace the original MPSS. Went with PS4S
Original tires were at 24k and still had some life in them but I got a nail in one so decided to change them all out. I'm very impressed with the longevity of these tires with a staggered setup |

The PS4S is a great tire. Much better then the PSS.

I just put 25 miles on her tonight after a 4 month rest.
Man it's so fun to drive when nobody is around. I saw 1 cop 🚓 just as I was sitting at my exit.

I drive today on a BMW m2, though not on my own. Mine should have arrived, but circumstances keep waiting longer. This is drive and power, so small and already powerful

Lovely picture, but where, in the Bay Area, was it raining today?

While on lock down i've been busy installing goodies on the car this past week
1. PSM CF Spoiler from Kies Motorsports. Great Quality and perfect fitment 2. Akrapovic Replica CF Rear Diffuser from eBay. Good Quality, though had to make adjustments to make the fitment good 3. OEM BMW M2 Black Emblem (obviously left the Competition part out) 4. Dinan Exhaust System 5. Tuner Motorsport CF [Glossy] Open Intake 6. CF Mirror Cap from eBay - Good Quality and Great Fitment 7. Precut mirror turn signal 25% tint from Amazon - good quality and perfect cut out 8. Added LED front turn signal 9. IND Front reflector I only have a few things left i want: I'm wanting M-Performance M2C style front lip for MG-OG (AutoID in Europe is making one, but will wait on others feedback), eventually will get rear LCI LED (Euro) Taillights and trying to figure out what wheels I want.

Well truth be told it was taken last Saturday by my GF in the passenger seat on Skyline I think. We saw sunshine, overcast, fog, and rain.
Down PCH, up La Honda until Alice's then to Skyline, then onto the 92 into Foster City/San Mateo Whole Foods, then sadly the 101 home. Last edited by akkando; 04-15-2020 at 09:30 PM.. |
