CONGRATS - she’s gorgeous…hardest part about buying a car with miles that low is adding them hah! Drive it, enjoy it, cherish it - this car is nuts. Been a long time since I looked every (nice) day for excuses to go for a quick drive…last night at 9pm I just had to drop an envelope off at the post office drop box, hitting 7K rpm of course…mission critical

Well played Mr Shark.

But don’t satin it! You’ll undo years of garage queening at someone else’s expense!

Another CCB retrofit I wonder?? Excited to see another build..the obsessed way..the only way

Why thank you mr jimjamz. No worries - didn’t go with satin. Did the gloss and should be wrapping up this week. Can’t wait to start getting some miles in

I really haven’t thought much about what to do with this car yet. There will be some light tracking at least at the beginning. First and foremost I’m going to use it to develop our Nitron electron kits which will require a few track outings. First will be stock at COTA for a solid baseline. Then we go back & forth at our more local (and easily accessible) track Harris Hill to do the bulk of the testing. When finished will return with our suspension kit as the only upgrade and repeat testing for final results.

Other than that really I think the only other area that I will touch is the brakes. I decided to keep my comp for now which is now basically going full monster build mode (need to do a proper build thread on that car). That car will be my main M2 track itch scratcher but even for what I plan to do with the CS the oem brakes won’t be sufficient. So right now I’m thinking swap out the brakes for AP’s while doing the testing and then maybe do a CCB retrofit after that. Then have a nice lightly used set of AP’s for sale. Doing the minor cosmetic touches (reflectors, de-chroming) but other than that really like keeping the car stock except for the suspension and maybe the CCB swap.

I was actually picking up my Misano from service and did do a double take since I confused it to be my car for a second

I know that dealership... surprised my CA didn't call me about that one...
oh... its an automatic...

no thanks

Full PPF finished and ready to come home to start the break in finally. Going to be a few days though as winter is finally making an appearance here and we basically shut down as a city when there is a hint of icy roads Will take some good shots when it gets home and as we start the baseline process at the track.

Looks great, congrats!!!!

Almost bought the same thing before I bought my M2C.
The one I looked at was less perfect than advertised so I reluctantly had to pass on it.

I love blue BMWs and while different than my old Santorini Blue M3, it has a similar presence.

So nice congrats OG! Best color and imo the only color to have on the CS, glad you went gloss ppf but now I am curious if anyone has ever done the matt ppf on misano blue. I am not a fan of matt cars though
