The recent anoucement of the release of MP parts for new M2C goes carbon crazy like no other in all time MP history. BMW is like taking apart the M2 CS and selling all its parts separately. Which is great.

There is no reason we're getting more jealous than we already are of the M2C, because all the stuff except for MPE they're about to release are retrofittable to our civic M2.

I have made a consolidated parts list in the poll above with trivial parts excluded. Let's see what you will do and already have done.

And share your thoughts in reply.

[SeanWRT]

My thought on below what I consider core parts:

I will do tailgate and M mirror, both of which are iconic and hardcore M elements that out base car is lacking.

I'll also do a M2C front bumper retrofit because the lower half looks wider. I'll put on carbon front grille because it has a split look. Not a fan of one-piece grille.

And 763m wheel/tire package when tire change is due. Gold it will be for my LBB. This package is an incredibly good deal compared to buying good tires and wheels separately.

Suspension - already did. Great performance and aesthetic value for 2k+labor. You'd do a coilover anyway if it's not the MP.

Brake, I'm not doing at this point because the upgrade brake line and pads serve me well for street and light track duty. 6-4 pot in red with 400mm disc is cool, but just seems a little too expensive for how much I need it.

CB roof I'm not too sure because labor and high level of install skill are required.

CB power dome bonnet, it's nicer and saves 11lbs on front. I will be waiting to see the real thing on car before pull the trigger. And I think our base bonnet is interesting enough tbh.

CB fender saves some weight but is a downgrade aesthetically with new side grille in my opinion. Plus it's way more than a bolt on affair.

So, I'll be looking at 2k(tailgate)+1.5k(mirror)+2k(bumper)+500(front grille)+5k(wheel pkg) = 11k in total. Damn...

Probably gonna do the decklid trunk, the bonnet, and the brakes. Maybe the wing but I might go with the DTM wing I found, that's just me though. As for the front splitter, if it's able to be used on the regular M2, I'll probably go with that

[Spa2k]

How about a poll category for “None of the Above?” Then you’ll get a much more accurate picture of what the true market is for these parts.

[Yiruna]

Wait, Sean, for the front bumper, is it the entire front bumper? If it is I'm gonna do this, my front bumper has seen some shit from track and daily use, even with PPF

Yes entire bumper. We'll see, I think many will do it when insurance company pays.

This poll isn't about how big the market is, but to compare values across parts viewed thru the eyes of those who is interested.

I wonder if itll fit exactly on the front

[Dirtboy]

I'm wondering if the MP splitter will fit on the normal M2 front bumper. The lower part looks the same as the M2C.

[Daleb]

Edison and lightweight already do a version of the M2C front splitter for our M2’s. I believe based upon the M2 safety car

[eeyang92]

How much of an effect will the front fenders with air outlets have on braking performance/cooling (and weight)?

I want the CF trunk - I assume it has mounting points for a wing? I’m kind of new to this, but in general, is it easy to mount/unmount the wing? I would only want it on while at an event as I think it’s too glaring on the street.

[Benef1cient]

For me:
1. Wheels for sure looked great for some time, waiting for gold option for my incoming LBB LCI also.
2. M Suspension - wanted aftermarket but I'm gonna lease this car only for two years so want to keep it as close to OEM BMW as possible.
3. Maybe carbon mirrors
4. Maybe brakes depending on the price
5. Maybe new fenders if the air exhausts are functional and will help to cool brakes better.

Not really a fan of all that CF, it's where they want to make big money on us and for me the weight saving is marginal, although could make our LCI weigh less than M2C by 100+ kg. Let's see the pricing

[Who?]

Front bumper for sure- I always found the fangs a bit disportional
The bonnet- maybe, if the price is the same as the Edison composite, I’d rather take the aftermarket, think it looks heeps better
The boot- again, I think aftermarket looks better
The roof- don’t want to lose my sunroof, so not an option for me

Would love the brakes and suspension, but unnessecary as I don’t track me car for now

[alscks0414]

F**k SeanWRT. I want all of them but I can only vote for one hahahaha.

Okay I was basically trying to hypnosis myself to say okay my MY18 M2 is better!!! But now it grows that I am starting to fail my process.

If MPE brings the SOUND, I might consider changing mine...
All MP CF parts will count around more than 20k in total I am sure...

Sorry my kid, daddy might just spend another money for his weekend track toy...

[arwin]

With all the new cool MP bits released, I actually still find that I don't need/want any of them.

Although, I already have:

MP Steering wheel
MP Rear Diffuser
MP Rear Spoiler
MP Exhaust
MP Side Gills
MP front kidneys
MP Shift knob

[Yiruna]

I wish someone made a CF roof that works with the Moon roof...

[RedCarrot]

I don't think I will be adding any of the new MP parts to my existing CF diffuser. The CF hood intrigues me as I would love to shave 20 lbs from the 40 lb steel hood, but I am afraid it'll be cost prohibitive to me. If BMW wants $1K for a set of CF fins, I'd imagined the hood has got to be in the $3K range.

isn't this an oxymoron?

Reduce weight with cf roof but add the weight back on with the moonroof

I mean, I like the color steady, but I might just wrap it black lol

ha!

That's what I did with mine. I debated over a CF wrap vs a black wrap but i didn't want to pretend that it was a CF roof, so i wrapped it in gloss black.

I posted pics of my car if you want to see what it would look like.

[akkando]

I selected a handful of things including mirrors but only if I could find a reasonable price on mirrors eventually. I am sure it's going to be super expensive but perhaps eventually there will be some good deals.

[SeanWRT]

Just noticed M2C front lip gets more votes than M2C bumper. But apparently new bumper has a different lower end shape and is required if you want to do splitter.

Yeah I'm super pissed the new splitter doesn't fit the old bumper... The new splitter looks so good

I won't retrofit anything... Keeping the money for the P-car.
