Pandemic Impulse Buying

Can't go out to the city to hang out, can't go watch a movie, can't go to my favorite restaurants, can't jump on a plane to travel..........so I ordered two new goodies for the M2C.

1.) M Performance CF grille.
2.) M Performance CF rear diffuser.

Anyone else bored to TEARS and buying stuff, lol.

I'm still going to the office, because I'm finally not travelling each week. So I get to take the long way to work and back in my M2C My office is fairly empty so not much people interaction.

As for impulse buying, my wife directs me to where the toilet paper and other essentials are so i can get them. Other than that, none.

Sweet, I have been looking at the CF grill for a while. I would love to hear your review of it once installed. My concern would be are the parts even going to be delivered in a timely manner?

Only the second day of WFH for me, so not to bored yet. Still trying to adjust to it.

lol, stay safe out there Kutta.

I'm actually glad that (knock on wood), CT hasn't been shut down to where we can't even go out for weekend drives.

If anything I see a TON of people out and about here.

I was planning on taking a break from work and doing a quick trip to Quebec City for some R&R, but guess that just went down the toilet, since the border is now closed.

MD has closed schools, bars, restaurants, movies, gyms etc. I feel that at this point we should be in curfew, and only travel if necessary based on criteria (like Italy). Most communities have taken similar measures, so I'm not sure why we don't go all the way in and nip this shit in the bud? Anyway. I'll enjoy the M2 until then

WFH day 3, feels like week 3.
Family and friends are really starting to piss me off complaining about this non-stop. No shit, we're ALL in this together you blabbering morons. Then there are those that are still in denial and don't want to accept the truth. They scare me the most by being careless and outright selfish aholes going out etc without give two F's about anyone else.

In the coming weeks I will look to all of you, my bimmerpost friends to keep me sane and make the time go by easier. Unfortunately don't have any plans to get parts etc., but I do plan on mocking the new grille on the 4 series and G80/82 quite extensively.

I took the car out and drove around looking for other desperate M2 drivers yesterday.

All it got was two kids in an Infinity that wanted to race me. Hard pass!

For sure. Yeah, I figured it might take a while to get delivered as well; hoping that's not the case though. Oddly enough, my job is fully remote so I've been doing this for years already, so work-wise, there hasn't been any change for me.

Yeah; right now M2C is really the only recreation I have left. Only so much Netflix and Prime you can watch. But hey, I'm cooking more, haha.

Definitely, other than dropping my girlfriend off to work and picking her up, working, and looking at carbon fiber parts, I haven't really done anything else but self-contain. Just want this to be over as soon as possible, so if I can do my part by staying home, then so be it.

lol @ the new grille on the new 4er. I still can't believe they're going that route! Saw an article where they photoshopped a normal "small" grille on the new M4 and it looked so much better!

Haven't driven the M2C since last Saturday, but I did pass an M4er and we waved!

I’ve been sitting on getting some 763M wheels. Ever since Sun Motors stopped their eBay selling, prices seemed to have crept up.

Nothing too fancy. New rotors, pads, and wear sensors for the front. Planning to do that this weekend!

Makes dating hard...we ended up going to "Curbside Pickup" for Potbelly's Sandwiches. How romantic.

Word.. I bet you a Coke I could break down a dealer to 58k OTD (including 8.65% tax) for a M2C w/ moonroof..

Dealers (that are still legally open) are highly motivated to move the 2020 units and BMW will throw them a ton of backdoor incentives to help push out their old stock..

If you're in the market for a new car, I would say this is as good as it will ever be.

I've bought some sunglasses and a murse (no idea why I would do that) but I've been okay on car parts. Still gotta install my lip and diffuser anyways.

Got my stuff on GetBMWParts.com

I usually get mod parts from IND, but they couldn't cut a deal for me this time.

I thought the link was to the article with that nice photoshop of the smaller grille M4; wasn't expecting that!

For some reason I had to think about what a "murse" was. Then came the "Ohhhhhh." Haha.

Still waiting on my parts to ship/arrive, then dropping them off to my PPF guy to get XPEL'd. Glad he asked if I needed him to install it because I can't work on cars for shit.

I tried removing my headlights (for a deep clean) once in my old MB (RIP) and didn't realize it involved removing the entire front bumper. Screw that. (No pun intended.)

I still really want the 763M's in Orbit Grey. But apparently, they're impossible to get?

Anywhere I've asked said 763m's in orbit grey are no longer available. Let me know if you find them. I feel like they'd look great with HS which is the color of mine.

It's been the same for me. I mean I could just get black ones and have them powder-coated, but I've done that before in the past, and it just never holds up well.

Much rather just have them OEM.
