I feel like if BMW had matched the wheel-to-fender/quarter gap front and rear that a lot less people would lower the car. It's a question of millimeters, but quite obvious.

I also 100% agree that the 788 was just the wrong choice for the car, for the exact reasons you mentioned.

The 788s are a bitch to clean, but I like the look of them a lot. But if I were to stumble upon a nice set of 437s at a good price, I might jump on them, so change things up once in a while

I do not mind the 788 wheels, but I do prefer the M2 (437M) wheels.

Still do not understand why the M2C can be optioned out in Canada with 437M wheels, but not in U.S.?

I wonder if that will continue to be the case for 21' M2C?

Yes, I realize the M2C only comes with 788 wheels in U.S., and was inquiring if the M2C will continue to have 437 wheel option in Canada for 21' model.

OK, here's a 788M wheel wash crash course.

Breathe and focus on the car...

I watched a previous video of her's when she installed the M performance lip splitter. Kinda curious why she has not added other mods, especially considering has the hydraulic lowering function on her car.

Also, she nods her other car frequently as well.

As an aside. I am in the mindset that if you add a lip splitter, you have to add a few other CF bits to complete the look. A spoiler or mirror caps can be added as a standalone as accent pieces. But a splitter...come on, go all out at this point 😂

Nice but it looks like aftermarket parts being used. For me it has to be original.

Interesting. Europe getting shortened production run. Not sure of legitimacy

Yes, this is somehow correct. My dealer told me that the production already ends in 09/2020 and it seems already impossible to order an new M2C today (due to shortened production cycle and no available build slots).
The end of production (for EU only!) is due to the new EU emission regulations in 2021...

Hmm. So no 2021 model for Europe, but the US will get another year at it, as originally slated for the US

Looks like the 2020s are moving. Did a quick browse of local inventory, and one dealer went from 4-5 ---> 1 M2C. The other from 9-->7 (with some gone and new ones arrived). This is during COVID SIP

Also a lot of inventory that got moved were DCTs. Automated manuals have been sitting on lots for months. Especially with new inventory coming in at the end of the summer as '21; and rent / mortgages of buildings coming due, it makes sense to discount them. Traditionally, Memorial Day Weekend is also a popular time to buy cars.

They were giving 10% off back in December too, but nothing moved for months, now suddenly a bunch are gone in 1-2 weeks. I've been watching the M2s at these 2 dealers closely...

They didn't move at pretty good discounts before, so I wonder what they are discounting at now (based on your theory)?

Rates maybe? More of a guess here...
