I’m keeping this car stock. Only ‘mods’ are the wing mirrors, aluminum pedals and full screen Apple CarPlay.
anymore pics of the base area? always like these but in some angles, it looks the mirror housing over laps the base.

I actually think (unless I'm mistaken) those rear window spoiler things are really bad aerodynamically. This is because it forces the air off the roof and doesn't allow it to flow along the rear window. This creates a massive separation area in the air flow (more drag is produced as a result), and in turn this really poor flow over the trunk lid which reduces the downforce that the rear spoiler produces (however little it may be, and now you have more rear end lift).

So imo those aren't exactly the best modifications you can do, I think vortex generators would be a better option as it'll improve flow attachment along the rear window reducing drag. It'll technically also increase rear lift a bit but I'd expect the better flow over the rear spoiler to counteract that. If you had a rear wing, then the cleaner flow over and under the wing will absolutely increase down force in a very meaningful way.

The differences will be very minor, it's unlikely you'll be able to feel it on the highway or street. It might show up on track telemetry as hundredths of a second loss in laptimes (maybe way less), but it's not massive issue. It would be if you had a rear wing where the dirty flow hitting it would negatively affect downforce production.


Personally I would go with spage sport: https://spagesport.ca/products/m2-front-splitter
https://spagesport.ca/products/bmw-m...pr_seq=uniform

They have really good aero parts for the OG m2 that'll actually make real downforce. Ardo is good (I believe their aerodynamicist is from williams f1 team), but their aero packages imo aren't as aggressive and the price is kind of high for the performance delivered, to me ardo wants to make aesthetically pleasing parts but also make them functional - so form takes priority.

With spage it's all about downforce production and nothing else matters. Plus if you go with the spage rear wing it's designed to complement the front splitter so downforce production is going to be balanced.

Always had a love/hate relationship with those wheels. I love the way they look, but hate the way they change what I consider to be the nature of the car. Weird. Car looks great.

Oh, and the rear window spoiler reminds me of the old 80's Conquest TSi's.

Today I’m installing a Pure500 turbo, Dorch Stage 2 HPFP, Bend Calibration ultimate flex-fuel kit, and then flashing a custom Bend Calibration tune. Big day

If it lasts longer than four hours, see a doctor

My BMW M2 getting its final touches done! super excited to pick it up

Just installed:

- CSF race spec radiator
- CSF DCT transmission cooler
- Bimmer Masterpieces alcantara control center
- Bimmer Masterpieces alcantara extended knee pad
- Bimmermaster pieces alcantara arm rest
- Turner Motorsports carbon engine cover

Also, wanted to ask if anyone running an aftermarket oil cap cover with the turner carbon engine cover. Apparently, the GoldenWrench cap doesn’t fit! Let me know if anyone has any other suggestions!

Love the carbon side braces. Hadn’t seen that brand before. Which brand is it?

NRW carbon corner braces. Not sure if they still sell them but they are available on Mashimarho. I luckily got them for a good deal from M2 Ghost

How stiff are they? Can you flex them at all?

haven’t really tried to flex them but I think they are solid. I can check when I get the car back

Sounds good! Flex them when they're not bolted in if possible.

Hit 39k miles. I got the car with 33k on 2/11/24. I might write a review for you guys soon now that I’ve had plenty of seat time in the car, both stock and modified

Finally upgraded the rear spoiler, long overdue.

Just in time for spring time cruises
