The black sapphire and gold go so well together. I wonder if the M2/M2C will be as iconic as the 1M one day?

The gold is growing on me.

There's a very noticeable difference in handling over the standard 788:

1. Tires are definitely stickier than MPSS.

2. Better steering feel and response. Not sure if this is just the tires or the wheel and tire combo.

I have a feeling these cars will stay right up there with the 1M as a "best of BMW" for many years.

Regardless, I'm enjoying the hell out this car. I hope I can replace it with something that has the same bang-for-buck after I run this one into the ground.

After I switched to the winterset of wheels yesterday I gave the 788Ms a nice wash and some sleeves to store them for the winter... car is also washed and stored in the garage so I can watch it while making some diner for the family...

Did the same in black, minus the son. Cute kid!

Picked up a set myself yesterday!

Black Prinz · 10-26-2020, 12:03 PM

Option 2 replace with a carbon fiber roof, Jazz up the shark fin and trim in gloss black

AW, gloss black and some carbon looks great

The moral of this story: Park under a tree

The thing looks amazing!

Sarg33 · 10-27-2020, 07:18 AM

Took a Sunday drive.

McChris · 10-27-2020, 10:54 AM

painted the muffler. man what a difference

iBurble · 10-27-2020, 11:35 AM

This may be my last manual transmission car ever, so I figured I'd support the cause...

Added a The Manual Gearbox Preservation Society sticker...

They're the apex EC-7 flow formed. I originally purchased them for track wheels but I decided to make them street wheels and keep the OEM wheels for the track. I know ... I know it doesn't make sense 🤣

M2Cmtl · 10-28-2020, 10:13 AM

Dropped her off at the dealership for a new wheel bearing, rear passenger side. Had the front passenger replaced as well, but it was so loud that I couldn't hear the rear one...

Damn.. how many miles on yours?

M2Cmtl · 10-28-2020, 08:47 PM

Oh, I should have pointed out both bearings are due to me going over a curb at warp speed

. This is a loud car but the shot bearings where VERY loud. Like a very obvious grinding noise that gets louder with speed. Just drove a mile from the dealership back today I immediately noticed the car was so much quieter. 6k miles on my car.

rcouchh · 10-28-2020, 09:38 PM

Remus race axleback and AA midpipe (UEL) installed today. This thing sounds so good now

My 1200 is on Monday...counting down the days.

Put on the winters. Happy with the look, just too much stretch for my tastes. Really wanted 245s at most since this is my daily and we get lots of snow here. Tried to install my wife's new winter wheels as well...they sent the wrong bolt patern.. have to deal with that now. gave the 788ms a good cleaning. Also took the opportunity to clean the calipers with the wheels off. The new wheels feel light if that makes sense.

whoa this is the first i've heard of this brand. Cheaper non-forged alternative to Titan7 TS-5 wheels and from the specs on the website are only 0.2lbs heavier?

MSRP $1560 compared to $2740
