Thanks Visualecho. Will do. We have excellent 93 here (Shell).

I got excited with my BM3 too and did the exact thing. The other upgrades were still on route. We have 100 octane here. Took it out for a few runs and blew my charge pipe. Crawled back to the house. Then the car was out of commission for the next 2 weeks while I waited for the CP to go around the world back to me. Mine were short runs to check what the BM3 was going to give the car. Kinda like previews I guess. Looking back it was rather stupid and could have been worst. I agree with the earlier suggestion. 😷

I’m seeing minor timing pulls running 95/98 octane aki from Chevron on the OTS BM3 S293 tune in temps above 80 degrees.

Sure, the Chevron 95 and 98 options may be suspect, but I damn sure wouldn’t be running the S293 map on just 93 (Sold by Shell or God himself)

YMMV but I’d be turning it down and reviewing logging ASAP

And it's worse here in the USA. With a S2 car and using the OTS S2 93 map on 93 octane I'm sure there are times when the car pulls timing. It leads a lot of guys to run 93 octane, but use the 91 map. But honestly, the stock car pulls timing, so I don't consider it an issue as long as the mods are there to support S2.

Exactly what I did. Warmed her up and WOT. Appreciate the feedback, I think I knew enough to stay away from the 30% ethanol map, (have E85) right around the corner here!

I’m actually in Alabama. The Chevron by my office has non-ethanol 95 ($4.30) and 98 ($8.39) for sale.

I only see the timing pulling 2-3 degrees when IATs reach 99+ fahrenheit but it still isn’t ideal. That was on a blend of 95/98.

Curious if the Sunoco GTX 260 98 octane they sell at the road course is any better. Will have to log to find out next year when I’m back for an HPDE.

Wow, you got lucky here. VisualEcho is totally right here, you need supporting mods to run stage 2. That being said, I have found the e30 tune to be absolutely addictive. Getting the fuel mix is a little annoying, since the closest E85 station is about 10-15 minutes from me, but the power with a proper intercooler, DP, and upgraded CP is just awesome.

Did a few interior mods today.

• Polar blue start/stop button
• Alcantara / matte carbon interior kit
• M Performance matte carbon steering wheel trim with the inner trim painted mineral gray

First DIY oil change
8500km since last change, CBS suggested to change within 22000km (!) That's 30.000Km on the same oil

Custom spring rate for my Öhlin's, 60/120 (absolutely not diy)

Is that possible!?? How many months change interval, and most importantly what is the oil??

Took delivery of my 2016 M2! Absolutely LOVE this thing.

A depressing day…put the winter shoes on. 245 square on 18s.

They're no KL11s, but I think they look ok for budget rims.

Looking forward to May!

heading up to the mountains off and on for the next several weeks. So with snow potential and temps in teens, no go on summers.

They do look good, and are quite functional. I'm going to use my Ferric 437 set for Winter (we don't get real Winter here), so they won't be as functional, but they don't need to be.
