Also, are your footwell lights stock? They look much brighter than I remember mine being.

I got the lights from the dealer. $105 shipped. If you want to order them, contact bkeller@sunmotorcars.com

PN: 63-31-2-414-105

I used a small screwdriver to pry the stock lights out. The driver's side popped in pretty easy, but I had to cut a bit off of the passenger's side to get the new light to slide in. You'll see, very easy.

Everything you see here looks off because it's a photograph, and quite manipulated, so no, they aren't that bright .

I daily mine so i drive it often in the rain, it sucks sometimes
I love driving the m2 in the rain. I feel much more aware of the driving experience than in the dry during normal driving.

That's how it came on the original M2, guessing they changed in the LCI/Comp?

I tinted my front headlights! They look pretty good during the day but the light output at night is terrible, I'm going to take them off tomorrow.

You should paint the housings instead. Same look without affecting output.

So for our white elephant at work. My painter got me a white hot wheels m2. And painted it Grigio telesto to match my car.

Need to find a bigger scale version, so he can paint that.

Gave the steering wheel some love, arrived from overseas a bit earlier then expected.

"Configured" the screen to show the current drive modes rather than MPG. Also discovered my M2C's default steering is Sport... Dunno why, don't know how to change it, but on start up it is on Sport.

There's another thread specific for M2Cs.
Wanted to clarify... you're talking about a M2C, not an M2, right?
Did you buy it used? Is it possible the previous owner programmed it?
Still, I've never heard that changing the default start mode is possible via off-the-shelf programming. If previous owner did it, it must have been a serious hack...

Yep M2C. And no, I bought it brand new, 17 miles on it.

Default setting for steering is Sport. I don’t believe you can change it however you can program your preferred settings in the M1 and M2 buttons.

I assumed default would be comfort. Odd.

Just re-read your post... you're talking about the steering being in Sport. Not the drive-train. Sorry, my bad.
I think your steering can be controlled by the M1/M2 buttons.
I'd like my M2 to start the drive-train in Sport by default. The Comfort mode is brain dead and I have to press the Sport button every time I start the car.
