Purchased my 2017 M2 almost 12 months ago now, as new with just 7000ks on it.
As with many I like to improve & personalize my cars, so I thought I'd post a few pics & put together a brief list of what I've added for those interested in modifying. Cosmetic mods are always subjective & some mods add to durability, whilst some offer incremental improvements that all add up to improve the car overall, thus I have assigned *recommended* to the mods that imo provided a substantial improvement to the car/driving experience in their own right. Maximum bang for buck is always a priority so many of the parts used are sourced non-genuine & aside from paint I perform all the labour, thus I am able to complete quite a lot for a modest outlay. I always try to achieve an OEM look when modifying my cars & ive tried to follow a 'GTS' style theme with my M2... Exterior: Carbon fender vents Carbon grills Carbon mirror caps Smoked sequential mirror indicators Carbon diffuser Aluminium GTS bonnet - *recommended* Carbon front splitter Black rear reflector inserts Carbon rear hi-kick spoiler Sapphire black painted roof Carbon roof fin Black badging Carbon side skirts Tinted windscreen sunstrip - *recommended* Interior: Custom Cobra Nogaro seats w/electric slide & lumbar - *recommended* V2 steering wheel 3D alloy shift paddles - *recommended* Carbon steering wheel inlay Blue starter & M buttons P3 vent gauge - *recommended* Carbon dct knob Alcantara dash pod cover Carbon handbrake knob BMW puddle lights Carbon/alcantara console inlay Idrive M badge Custom extinguisher & KAP bracket F30 auto brake pedal - *recommended* Pedalhaus alloy pedal pads - *recommended* Schroth 'qik-fit' harness (track use only) Carbon dash inlay Carbon window switches Engine: Bm3 stage 2 tune - *recommended* Alloy charge pipes Wagner 200cel downpipe - *recommended* Dinan mid pipe/res delete - *recommended* Wagner Evo2 intercooler AFEpower intake & grill duct - *recommended* Lithium battery Alloy oil filter housing with heatsink Alloy oil & fuel caps Carbon engine cover CS dct, steering, diff, dsc, re-flash Suspension & Brakes: Bilstein B6 dampers - *recommended* H&R springs - *recommended* Powerflex sway bar bushes KCD front & rear alloy bracing Ferodo DS2500 brake pads - *recommended* HEL braided brake lines Custom finished brake calipers Wheels & Tyres: Road - 20" 666M wheels & PS4S tyres Track - 19" 437M wheels & AR1 semi slicks

Cheers.
It's from Aliexpress but is virtually the same as the AutoID lip.

Your car is just fantastic. If I could change one thing it'd be the wheels to 19's instead of 20's. They look really fantastic on your car.

Yes lots of negative stuff written on this forum about 20's, I have them on 2 of my cars & honestly notice no difference to the 19's except they look better imo. I have smaller wheels & semis & slicks for track use where it actually matters. People said the same thing when I was fitting 16's to cars that came with 14's & when fitting 18's to cars that came with 16's etc. The whole smaller/bigger wheel thing is totally overblown for road cars imo. There are positives & negatives to both & despite what many armchair experts think it's not a black or white answer.

Cheers for that.
It's the aluminium GTS hood, I got mine from aliexpress but it's the same as the suvneer one & most the others. It's lighter weight, extracts heat, fits great & looks good so I'm pleased with it.

Nice! Do you have a part number or link? Car looks great overall but I like the unique touches like control knob and the black fire extinguisher.

For me my car is a 2 seater club/track car & i will likely add a half cage sometime soon. If you want to retain the rear seat usability i’d advise you go for a folding 2 piece seat, the drawback is you can’t use a 2 piece seat with a harness in some levels of Motorsport.
