Which M2 Performance parts are a must have?

I have an M2 comp on order, LBB, 6mt, executive package. While I'm waiting, I have the option of adding M performance parts. I'm 100% on the spoiler and for $750 it's worth it. The M performance exhaust at over $6000 I may have to pass on, maybe a better non OEM option out for less.

What M performance parts do you think are a must have? Any regrets on parts you got that you think are not worth it? Or parts that you didn't get and you wish you had? I'm in the US.

Congrats on the order!

For parts, l'd say all the carbon bits and dress up parts are worth the splurge. I've found that there's a very limited market for aftermarket aero compared to other platforms. Also taking into consideration that 2021 is the last of this generation so parts might be harder to come by as manufacturers start to phase out and discontinue parts for the platform. I mean it's not a big deal if you're ok with replicas but even then there's only a handful of different styles you can choose from.

All the mechanical bits appear to be alive and well, plus we share parts with the F8x M3/M4 and those guys have a stronger aftermarket. Things like the MPE and suspension will be up to personal preference but if it were my money I would hold off on those from M division and look to the aftermarket.

Man, there's too many to choose from for the M2! for us in Australia we don't get the "port installed" options, so we have the leisure of keeping our original parts and slowly picking at the parts we want.

For me, the first part I added was the genuine carbon rear spoiler (Same as you), the interior is where you spend a lot of the time whilst driving so I opted for a lot of the interior pieces

- Foot Pedals
- Steering Wheel
- Carbon trim pieces

Most likely going to add some others at some point and it's more fun if you do it little by little

Don't you lose the heated steering wheel if you get that steering wheel? I paid for the executive package which adds heated steering, then i'll pay to get an upgraded steering wheel which takes away the heated steering haha.

Front lip for sure, makes the car look more aggressive.

Should also note I'm from Australia,

Heated Steering wheel is a redundant option for majority of the year here, it gets blistering hot to a point where a cooled steering wheel wouldn't be a bad idea

I agree, but does it lower ground clearance?

M performance rear diffuser! Definitely finishes off the rear nicely along with the m performance spoiler.

Definitely can get a cheaper replica diffuser but you get what you pay for!

I think I'm gonna do rear diffuser and spoiler, but skip out on the front part because it lowers ground clearance. I have some steep driveways to go up and it's my daily.

100%! it'll just be grief when the bottom lip scrapes!
On my previous cars I hated to not use my car in certain places just because of low clearance in certain places!

Sometimes the best mod isn't actually to the car.....

I have now had my M2c for a month and in my daily drive i hit the front underside of the lip at least once a day. No lowering or lip for me! BTW i live in San Francisco so hills and bad roads are to be expected.

Been looking at designs that don't lower the corners, as that's where most contact seems to happen.

You can go with the OEM M2 CS spoiler that is around the same price.

The high-tech steering wheel with the built in display and tach-lights is my current object-of-desire from the MPP dept.

Do you have a part number for this? It wasn't on the list my dealer sent me. 100% sure it fits with the comp?

You should check out IND's website whenever you get a chance. Full of all kinds of goodies!

https://ind-distribution.com/collections/m2-competition-f87/products/bmw-f87-m2-cs-carbon-trunk-spoiler


P/N: 51628085400

The trunks are the same across all 2 series cars (EXCEPT the convertible) so this spoiler will fit. It won't show up on the order list because it's *supposed* to be a CS exclusive (as opposed to CS specific). However, it does fit.
