That looks MEGA! Nice one!

Yes, the tray fits nicely in the wheel. [I'll add a pic later - done]

The kit comes with longer wheel bolts and a spacer that don't have specific places in the tray. I stored the spacer inside the wheel under the insert and the bolts in the insert secured by painters tape. This all looks like it is going to work well and overall I am pleased.

I am not as keen on the cover. I would prefer something that completely enclosed the wheel so nothing can get separated and it would be nice if it had straps built in to secure it with. BavAuto has a cover that I am going to try.

Just fitted my new GTS wing from Morph Auto Design and Signature wheels. Pending on getting some coilovers on but will see how it goes.
Nice build! The ///M Stripe grille looks really good on AW.

Using Google Earth and capturing screenshots on my iPad, these are images from inside OzBraz over the weekend here in Gilbert, AZ where our M2 is getting a full Suntek Ultra & Xpel Ultimate Plus wrap (Suntek on large panels, Xpel on high-impact areas). There's also a Speed Yellow M4, a Porsche GT2 RS, a McLaren and an I8.

Sunny and dry this AM so I drove it to work and back. Crappy traffic, stop & go at times (MT) and lumpy roads.

Smiled the entire way there & back ;^)

Finally joined the forum and tracked my car on the PARSIFAL on her way to Baltimore. It's been a long 3 weeks since I left her in Munich.

Went to the local BMW meet up in Fremont. Despite the apparent interest from some other M2 forum members before today, I was the only M2 there. Sort of disappointing, but my car was a bit of a celebrity because it was the only one!

On Friday I fitted fake Alibaba sourced M Performance Carbon Fiber Exhaust Tips to my stock exhaust. I have almost zero interest in a real MPE; with a downpipe and a tune, my car sounds incredible, and bordering on too loud in Sport and Sport+. These tips at only $289 inc. delivery at least improve the aesthetics of the stock exhaust:




Genuine M Performance carbon diffuser still to come... once I've saved up!

I hung with a buddy in Palm Coast over the weekend, but this morning it was time to head home. I could have taken I95 which I did for a touch, but figured if I broke off and headed west, I’d hit a road that went along the St Johns river. I’ll didn’t realize rt 13 went that far south. What a drive. 2 lanes and either farms or river. All beautiful. Closed canopy trees, farms, river views.....you name it. About 30 miles.

I suppose it may have added 20 minutes to my journey, but it’s the best drive I’ve had in quite a while. Plenty of places to let the loud pedal do its thing.

I've told my son how lucky we are. We live three blocks from Topanga Canyon, which leads to Mulholland Drive, a very windy, scenic canyon drive, ending at a strip of canyon affectionately called "The Snake"!

You quickly realize why it's called the Snake, when you see gaps in the fencing along the side of the road where drivers "misjudged" the handling capabilities of their car or motorcycle!

An area about a mile and a half from The Snake, there's a straightaway, which is covered in black marks, where Lambos, BMW's, Corvettes, as well as bikes of all makes, have all left their (tire) mark!

The entire canyon overlooks either the city side of Los Angeles, or the valley side of the San Fernando Valley, and continues for miles!

Just a great road for when all you want to do is take your car for a long drive, with nowhere to go!
