What did you do to your M2 today?

Just finished a 4.2k mile road trip out west before next weekend when I'm going to pick up some new wheels and suspension for her![IMG][/IMG]

How about a blinker video? I'm curious.

Not a great video but you get the idea...

Dropped the car off at EAS for the charge pipe, intercooler, and Dinan exhaust install this morning.

I'm still waiting on the M2C carbon brace to have a bracket re-bonded, so I may just install everything but that (like the top hats and aluminum brace) today and just put the carbon brace on later.

Any other pictures of that front lip? What brand?

This is the TRE Performance Front lip. I absolutely love it, I think it's the best looking lip for the OG M2, personally

Looks amazing!

Went back to blue and white roundels (they've been black and white for several years). They're the IND variant with the exterior chrome ring painted gloss black. Also got my rotor hats painted satin black, both for aesthetic reasons and to prevent corrosion as well.

+1 for the roundels, have done this with mine also

Definitely makes for a cleaner look

Looks awesome! Did you have the rotors professionally done?

Hats look awesome, but the wheel color is just awesome. So well done.

Thanks! Yes, I had them painted by a reputable shop to ensure a quality job that would last. Ran me $150.

Thank you! Wheels are powder-coated a matte dark bronze color. They look very dark brown (almost black) in the shade but have a distinct metallic sparkle in the sunlight. Wanted to do something different than the run-of-the-mill gloss black. VisualEcho helped push me in the right direction

6ixSpd · 04-03-2021, 10:29 PM

Surprised my other half with H&R springs for her M2 and swapped on the Style 666M wheels. I have to say, the F87 looks phenomenal with these wheels and it drives soooo tight with the stiffer and lower springs. If it wasn't for my E92, I would buy an M2 myself. Great cars!

TargaM2 · 04-03-2021, 10:34 PM

Good choices, it looks great too.

SebsM2 · 04-04-2021, 12:02 AM

I ordered AP honeycomb reflectors from Ban_M2C

Fixed my front ind front reflector since it was misaligned

Switched to set of silver 18" wheels finally.
Started to hate my black wheel set up. Satin black 19" wheels started to look a bit cheap and juvenile. I got TA16s in 18x10 et33 paired with indy 500 265/35/18. Wheels are 8 pounds lighter than my cast bbs wheels while being 1.5" (f) and .5" (R) wider.

I also reinstalled my ind keyhole cover since I'll never have to worry about a freezing winter draining my battery. Goodbye Kansas City!

Timeless design wheels, great choice.

Six6spd, I love those 666m's. When I first saw them online, I didn't really care for them, but once I saw them in person....wow!! They are great and I feel like direct-on photos of them do them no justice

Thanks! As I've said a few times, your build is one of my favorites! First m2 to ever pull off 666ms.

I'm honestly quite surprised it's not a more common setup. The look fantastic on the F87 body IMO. I only found one car that had them and just a handful of pics in my Google Image search. I guess the only "con" is having to use 20" wheels but it still rides well.

I see that Richland Forged now offers 19" 666M replicas, that might be a better option for keeping more tire.

Agree, they look good to me, building an 'M2 GTS' style theme so a no brainer for me.
