I just picked up my new M2C on Saturday, and, wow the exhaust is an eye sore. I see these paint results and they look pretty good, but I was wondering, has anyone thought to powder coat this thing? Is that possible?
I realize it'd need to be a high-temp capable powder coat, and more costly than a few cans of Kryon, but I feel like a gloss black might actually look good. Am I crazy? |

Question for you M2C owners..
Great job camouflaging it but does this scrotum goiter ever rub over driveways or speed bumps? It seems to hang pretty low for a reasonable amount of ground clearance. |

Holds up fine. There's absolutely no reason not to do this.

If I had the C , that will just be an excuse for me to delete the muffler lol.

Anyone not painting the muffler?
Still "on the fence" after almost 3 months -- would like to keep the car in stock condition, but . . . Trying to not question the BMW design team -- they surely must know better than me!?!?

The hilarious part is that BMW knows it looks stupid - when you look at the M2 on the online configuration, the ass udder has been shaded out. Shady marketing if you ask me.

If you're keeping everything stock because it's a lease, I'd honestly not worry about it. If anything, you're making the car an easier sell for any future buyer |
