LBB LCI Noobie Onboard
Hey Ladies and Gents,
So I've had my M2 LCI in LBB for almost a month now, since switching from an RS3 which is my mum's 'hand-me-down' I'm absolutely loving the change, despite the similarities in power, its more fun to drive... Mod wise, I've been a little timid and sticking to more cosmetics over power increases though I have looked at dropping the height with some Eibach's, insurance increase is only a tenner more so maybe a 2021 project, currently I changed the chrome front grills to gloss black which I feel should have been the way it should have come from the factory, also swapped the side fenders for the carbon look for a more aggressive look up close. I did get one of these Road Angel Pure detectors this week, got a deal for £150 including a years subscription, hoping to keep my licence clean for the foreseable future lol PS - Excuse the poor photo quality |

Ya, that is the way I'm leaning. Slightly concerned that the plastic windshield cowl will not sit properly but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I've gone over everything a couple of times and can't find a problem but if this was a normal part of this retrofit, you'd think it would have been mentioned before now...
Anyway, I'd like it to be one spacer (per side/bolt) so if I can't find a washer thick enough, I'll have to make something. It will have to wait until Monday now.

Not from the UK so excuse my ignorance, did I read that right? Your insurance increases if you put on springs? |

I dont see why you would have to report to the insurance company that you've made any changes to your car. In the US, you typically have an option for additional insurance coverage for modifications and that would increase your premium cost but its entirely optional.

Fitted a pair of Kumho PS91 295/30/19 to rear today, looks great and drives nice, also notice the road noise is a lot less than the Continentals that were fitted.
The tyre fitter was moaning all the time as he struggled to get them fitted. |

Mine is second hand too. Second hand exhaust with second hand original exhaust tips and everything electrical is new. No drone at all. Just a little rattle at startup, but after 10 seconds it's gone. The sound is louder and otthers than before. i coded active sound design out wich is much better at the highway. The MPE is second generation.

I coded ASD out it the same time of installing the MPE so i do'nt know how it is with MPE + ASD. I did a short highway drive and what i know is that it is much better without ASD. I like to hear the engine and exhaust. MPE + ASD delete looks like a nice combo to me.

Tips look a bit low, no? I would try some tighter fitting exhaust hangars:

Remus race axleback and AA midpipe (UEL) installed today on my M2C. I must say I hated the S55 at first, but damn it sounds so good now

If comfort-stock is 100%, than comfort-MPE sport = 110% but different sound. Comfort MPE track mode = 125%. If sport+ - stock is 100%, than Sport+ - MPE track mode = 135% with more pops and bangs. |

curb rash repair underway
Just brutal. Thankful for easy/quick access to first rate wheel shop here in ATL. This happened 3 days after I converted to full screen carplay (thanks to Kubax86) and was my first curb rash in years. Not saying the two events are connected but...
