The M Performance lip with Slip Lo installed under to protect it from scrapes.

Racedeck interlocking plastic tiles. Yes they go on top of the concrete. Installed the flooring in a day. The flooring is now about 3 years old and looks brand new.

Also a photo of the 3 together

Thank you. It looks really nice and clean.

I ended up working pretty much through an entire weekend, with very little sleep. On the following Monday morning, I pulled out the registration renewal for my M2C and headed to the site. I was tired, I had transferred my plates from my old car, they were a bit beat up and boring. I did something silly and ordered custom plates on a whim. They were supposed to take 8-10 weeks but showed up on Saturday in the mail.

Washed the car on Sunday, and then put my shiny new BMW geek plates on her today (I guess I'll leave these on the car if I ever sell it):

Congrats! How did you pick the finish? Did you check them out in person before ordering?

Thanks! All off of pics, didnt see them in person. I have wanted these since my first M2 back in 2017. I love the finish on them, I did swap the centers, carbon ones had been ordered also.

[flybigjet]

Bought it.

It's *exactly* as it was coming off the carrier-- All I had the dealer do was wipe down the windows so I could see out of it enough to get it home.

It goes in for paint correction, PPF and ceramic coating tomorrow-- so I'll *really* have delivery on Friday. Going to pull the reflectors, the M2 side flash and the keyhole cover tomorrow and replace them so it'll be ready for detailing.

Appreciate the pics... I've been in the market but have a tough time distinguishing platinum gloss and diamond black based on pics alone. These are great. Congrats on the buy.

Week 7 I believe?

The ship was only a day or two in delay. We picked up some additional delay getting it from the Port to the dealer in Denver, but it all worked out-- about 4 days later than originally planned.

That being said, the SA said he now has nine cars stuck in the port and transport is shut down for the moment, so they're stuck there.

Cant wait to see the finished product FlyBigjet!

I'm very surprised that the dealer let you take it without a PDI, it's required by BMW. And you paid for it anyway...

He posted on another thread that he got the PDI done, but asked them not to clean/detail the exterior

Exactly-- everything was done to spec except removing the interior and exterior protection. I'm removing the interior today, and the PPF/Ceramic guys will deal with the exterior. I did exactly as they asked.

I personally watched them pull the shipping blocks, initialize/update the computer, and charge the battery while I was there. Everything else was done per the PDI checklist.

Dropped it off at the detailer's today. Parked next to a Bentley, so that was nice.

The paint correction/PPF/ceramic coating guys were in the shop literally wearing full-body typed suits.

I think I chose wisely.

Also installed the hood sound insulating pad, IND matte slatted rear reflector inserts (a *complete* and utter B*stard, IND painted SOM front reflector inserts, IND painted SOM side markers, Nuclear valve stem caps (my Element, my V-Rod and my GS all have the same ones), Uxcell USB Type-A anti-dust plugs, MP front and rear floor mats, and sprayed Cosmoline RP-342 rust preventative spray on the interior of brake rotors.

The dealer installed the MP CF center steering column trim and the European aspheric side-view mirrors at no charge before I picked it up.

And, when I went to pull the wheels to install the IND slats today, I found that they'd put on wheel locks at no charge. So, that was nice.

The trick on the IND rear slats? Use curved needle nose pliers-- the ones that sort of curve 45-50 degrees. It makes the job a UNSPEAKABLY easier. 1.5 hours for the first one, 20 minutes for the second one. That secondary bumper barrier in there is a right bugger!

Sounds like a good idea but won't that stuff get flung around when the rotors get hot?
