Past M3 owner to M2

ranyan10 · 01-25-2019, 09:48 AM

I've owned an E36, E46 and E92 with a couple of 435I m sports in between. I'm so glad that I didn't wait for the 2019 Competition and picked up the 2018 BSM Black Shadow. Now what mods to do?

And why, if I may ask, are you ever "so glad" to not have waited for the M2C?

CosmosMpower · 01-25-2019, 09:58 AM

He's just trying to make himself feel better

ranyan10 · 01-25-2019, 10:00 AM

Mostly because I was 12th on the list at my dealership and wouldn't want the wait time

Looking good in black! Makes me second guess my colour choice.

The mod list could get quite lengthy if you leave it up to the forum to decide

. What do you plan on doing with the car?
If you plan on tracking the car with a dedicated tire setup there is an active group buy for Apex SM-10 and FL-5 18" wheels

Congrats! Looks awesome. As far as first mods go, a Fabspeed catted DP was where I started. It's fantastic!

+1 on the downpipe!

I sourced a HJS 300 cell from Fabspeed. Definitely, one of my favorite mods if not THE favorite.

He would have been waiting 20 years for the Competition.

I would start with the M Performance exhaust. Greatly improves the sound of the exhaust.

I see what you did there! For a second there, I thought he might have a time machine

Drive his car and your HS through the same rain storm, then stop and look at both cars next to each other. You'll reconsider.

Car does look sweet though, OP.

It's a 200 cell catalyst.

Their own downpipe has a 200 cell. I got the HJS Euro 6 cat which is 300 cell.
