Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

It's officially been a little over a year since I first received my 2016 M2 LBB. I received the car on May 9th of last year and it's been through many changes. In this post I'll be listing the modifications done to the car and all the companies who have contributed to my build.

After displaying my car at Monterey Car Week with HRE Wheels, the car was taken straight to PSM Dynamic to be used for the development of their aero dynamic kit for the M2. Pictures have been posted previously on the forum by AutoTalent, but at the time my build wasn't quite complete yet (and I'm sure it still isn't). There is a few other mods that I have planned for the future. The car has been through a few changes throughout my build, in terms of suspension and wheels.

I first started with H&R springs (.8 rear, .8 front drop) I wasn't satisfied with the drop height, but performance was pleasant. Soon after, I went with KW HAS, the drop was lower than H&R since its adjustable BUT this time I wasn't satisfied with the ride quality (too bumpy). Now, I have switched to BC Racing Coilovers with a StanceParts cup suspension kit. It has been about 2 weeks since install, and I believe to have found the right drop, quality, and drivability I was looking for. I have settled for the drop level due to tire fitment. I wanted to run aggressive fitment tires, therefore I couldn't drop the car to the max level.

Here's the list of my mods:
(Thank you to all the companies that have supported my build)

Exterior:
PSM Dynamic - Full Carbon fiber aero kit
Autotecknic - Carbon fiber door handles
Carbon Axent - Rear Bumper carbon fiber reflector delete
HRE Wheels - Classic 300's (rear: 10.5x19+31, front:9.5x19+17)

Performance:
ECU Tuning Group - flash tune
Perfomance Design Unlimited - catless downpipe
GT HAUS - Meisterschaft straight pipe exhaust
Eventuri - Blue Kevlar Carbon Fiber Intake
BC Racing - Coilovers
StanceParts - Cup suspension kit
Toyo Tires - R888R (front: 265/30/19, rear: 295/30/19)

Interior:
Gaphix - LBB color match seatbelts
BMW Accessories - M Perfomance electronic steering wheel
BMW Accessories - Alcantara armrest
BMW Accessories - Alcantara Carbon Fiber Handbrake
Autotecknic - Carbon fiber shift knob

Here are some pictures & videos. Hope you enjoy!

Nice ! Been following ur build on IG

emargul · 06-07-2017, 09:56 PM

Wow it looks incredible!! Where did you order the Gaphix color matched seatbelt?

jayg80 · 06-07-2017, 10:01 PM

looks great, the matching seatbelts are a nice touch.

kevlee23 · 06-07-2017, 10:01 PM

Watched your build since day 1!

Orange fever · 06-07-2017, 11:06 PM

love the wheels

ssuene93 · 06-08-2017, 01:03 PM

Nice build and looks awesome. Great pictures too. Well done!!

raysspl · 06-08-2017, 01:06 PM

Diggin' the setup, especially the fatty tires!

Blindside_137 · 06-08-2017, 01:06 PM

Perfection inside and out. Spoiler works well too although I still wouldn't want it myself, it flows very well with the car.

Also love the blacked out fangs and the wheels. Again, all around perfection.

inFamousKicks · 06-08-2017, 01:23 PM

Super clean. Love this build.

SpartaEvolution · 06-08-2017, 01:29 PM

HRE Classics are the way to go. They look so good on the car with the meaty tires.

The color matched seat belts are a really nice touch. They do a lot for the interior without being overstated.

Great build!

Who's on first · 06-08-2017, 01:31 PM

Really. Nice. Job well done.

Just need to hard wire the radar detector.

GOLFFRR · 06-08-2017, 01:42 PM

Would love to see it without the stickers. Great build, could be one of the meanest M2s Ive seen!

Cars · 06-08-2017, 01:47 PM

Sick build bro but please dear god get a mirror tap for that radar detector lol.

M-Pilot · 06-08-2017, 01:55 PM

Huge fan of your build and your lovely British Shorthair! Been following both of you guys on IG

AK. · 06-08-2017, 02:46 PM

Sick! I've seen this car last year and this year's Bimmerfest. Went from stock to modded real quick. Looking forward to seeing the car again!

Fab_R · 06-08-2017, 03:10 PM

Love this... Long following on IG

K1won · 06-08-2017, 03:24 PM

Love those wheels.

Bosozoku · 06-08-2017, 05:31 PM

I'm pretty sure I took a shot of your M2 last year at Legends of the Autobahn.
Huge improvements since then. Hope to see it there again this August!

P.S. Your IG feed is great. Have been following for quite a while.

LBB has to be one of the best colors BMW has ever offered, and it's put on one of the best, and not best, (cough, cough, X4 M40i) brand-new Bimmers.
