M2 from OZ

Hi all,

Picked up an 'as new' 2017 LBB M2 8 weeks ago with just 7,000 klms on it.
In the 8 weeks since I've begun modifying it & am much happier with it now, however there's plenty more to be done.
This car replaces my AMG A45 (below) & joins the garage with my Megane RS275 Trophy-R (below), my Golf GTI daily, the wife's Audi Q2 & the daughters Hyundai i30N.

FOR CURRENT PICS GO TO LASTEST UPDATE POST

*Initial mods so far (@2 months)...

M 666 20" wheels
Michelein PS4S tyres
H&R sports springs
Black M2 badge
Acexon rear reflector inserts
M V2 alcantara/leather steering wheel
M Raw Carbon fibre steering wheel insert
M Raw Carbon fibre dct shift knob
M Raw Carbon fibre handbrake
M Raw Carbon fibre/alcantara shift surround
M pedal covers
Vorsteiner Carbon fibre rear spoiler
Auto ID Carbon fibre front lip
Autotechnic Carbon fibre shark fin
Autotechnic Carbon fibre mirror caps
Autotechnic Carbon fibre diffuser

Here's the pics...

The interior was a little better in the AMG, good seats, leather dash, a brake pedal in the correct location etc. The exhaust sound was maybe better on the AMG too although I had Renntech mods on mine. The AWD had both benefits & flaws. From my experience so far the M2 is a much better drivers car & the AMG is a better all rounder. Both great cars.

No idea why BMW use the manual brake pedal in these cars, this is the 4th DCT equipped car we've had (Mercedes, Renault, Audi) & they've always been fitted with an auto pedal box which makes more sense in a 2 pedal car & is much better for left foot braking.
Looking into an F30 auto brake pedal assy & will see if I can adapt that similar to what BMW Motorsport have fitted to the DCT 240R race cars.

EDIT; Job done :- F30 brake pedal fitted. Should have come from the factory like this. “Must do” mod for any dct equipped cars imo. Pic added below.
