I'm not sure of the benefit of the UCP if keeping things with stock settings, but I may be mistaken. Is it possible that the UCP is designed to counter the the CDV to some degree?

CDV restricts flow of hydraulic fluid into and out of the slave cylinder. UCP changes the pedal position and stroke. Neither should effect the other, but both will alter feel in their own way.

Is anyone planning on getting a winter tire and wheel set for their M2 CS?

I am planning on getting a set of Michelin Pilot Alpin 4’s. I have been told they are great on cold dry roads. Can anyone attest to this?

Pilot Alpin 4s are good, but if you're going to be driving in serious snow (snowstorms or a regular 5+ inches accumulations) go Nokian Hakka R3s. While the PA4s, Sottozeros etc are all great tires in their own respect, if you're in truly deep snow, the Nokians are a class above and truly unparalleled.
This is from personal experience over multiple vehicles in upstate NY winters.

For those that don't want to cut up their factory exhaust. This seems like the part number for the BMW CS muffler. The tips are welded on so would they be a seperate part. BMW doesn't seem to sell the midpipe and rear section as one unit like it comes from the factory. This tells me that it would be nearly impossible to get an original intact piece. I may be incorrect about this.

18308747750 is listed as m2 CS, bit no picture. $1500 plus the EL midpipe would be a reasonable price imo to not cut up the factory system. Just swap the parts over from the original system. Can anyone confirm this part number?

Apologies if you already posted this elsewhere, but what springs are you using? Ride height is perfect. Also, any issues with rubbing?

Thx! KW HAS. Very slight rubbing now at full lock reverse. We will just heat up and bend the liner this week.

M Performance Carbon Fiber Gas Cap

I added an OEM M Perf CF gas cap. It's just a CF piece that weighs nothing and sticks over top the original gas cap. I could not find this piece in the USA and therefore ordered directly from Germany. It came with so many stickers that I had to add a couple lol. They come off easily if need be. All my Porsches have the aluminum Motorsport gas cap which is overpriced ($160). This is cheaper, but still expensive for what it really is. Overall, I think it's cool and makes my car different in my eyes.

Always been happy with Rennline phone mounts on my previous BMW/Porsche's, and they finally released one for the M2. Installed today, but then swapped the magnetic head of it with one from Amazon that holds my MagSafe iPhone case. 👍
