I will show my wife random pics and she might acknowledge some of them.

To my surprise she thought the lip looked great.

She does find it weird that I look at pics of mods for cars I don't own.

I just realized I still don't have a wife. Probably because I'm looking at car pics all day.

Still have those lips?

I don't know if it counts as an impulse buy or not, since I've been looking for a month or so. BUT in order to buy mods, well to use them anyway, you have to have the car. So that's what I did, I bought the car. 2020 M2C in LBB, 6SPD, with Executive Package. I've only driven it twice since I bought it Saturday, but one of those times was a 4 hour trip home from the dealership...so that was great. I love the car already and it hurts me to walk by it in the garage and get in the daily, but she'll get her turn later this week. I'm excited to be a part of this forum/community and hope you all forgive me for any ignorance that bleeds through onto your monitors...this is my first M car, first BMW, and even first Euro!

I found this gem online yesterday, it probably was stolen but whatever; for that price, I still have money left over to afford a conscience..

Apparently, the guy sold it within an hour of posting the ad and it's from his old car.. Damn!

This was a true Missed Connections...

Picked up a set of 5mm spacers (running 255s / 275s on 437M's) as well as the parts / tools necessary to install a set of Eibach springs I've had sitting around. The shops here want ~$1500 for a spring install. Not sure how they keep a straight face when they type up the quote. After watching a few YouTube videos I'm willing to bet I can knock it out in less than six hours on jack stands.

Good god. Not sure I could have taken them from him in good conscience. Don't get me wrong, would have taken them, just would have felt terrible about it for about five minutes.

That's four minutes longer than I would of..

Man, I was kicking myself that I missed that deal, those retail for $6,000 with Pilot Cup 2 tires..

Yea, I'm guessing they were stolen, as no reasonable person is going to sell wheels like those for such crackhead prices but whatever..

Day 20 of stay at home and I finally cracked.
Just ordered from Extreme Power House
- Carbon Fiber/Blue exhaust tips. (I have been waiting for these to come back in stock).
- IND Matte carbon fiber M shift knob w/blue stitching shift boot. (Per the auto vs manual thread).

I should have plenty of time to install them once they arrive.

OEM mperf cf diffuser

blackline reflectors - been checking for weeks finally back in stock.

Undecided on a front lip/diffuser. Like the cf against the LBB but don’t wanna go over the top. Already have the cf mirror caps and rear spoiler. Next delivery may be be final touches of cf on the M.

Jack answered all my nit pick questions- good dude.

Be well and be safe.

Update...

Installed the autotecknic satin red m1/m2 buttons and dry cf matte paddles with red -/+ indicators.

Looks stellar IMO. Feel like the buttons and paddles are tied together visually. Very therapeutic install- little over an hour. Little finicky given tight quarters but I enjoyed the process. Many thanks to the forum for the wisdom and pics assist. Only cheated once or twice looking at the directions!

Me and my wallet are done. DCT FTW...6MT FTW as well!

Be safe be well.

You should get the Active Autowerke signature exhaust from them too . They can give you a great deal and wow it's awesome. I had it installed on mine a day or two after it arrived and it sounds like a completely different car.
