The tips are perfect, finally.

The lowering topic comes up every time I speak to my guys at ACM. I am different than most I guess, I like the ride height of the M2cs. I could easily do it, just not my taste.

Thank you! My first set up was the Dinan M2c valved system with x-pipe. The sound was pretty good, typical S55 only amplified. The overall quality of the system was not great. It looked very generic in construction. Tips were huge and the clamps were very visible from all angles.

The Eisenmann system is a much higher quality construction. It completely tucks under the car. The sound with the res AA EL is near stock dB's, perhaps a bit louder, but not much. The sound however is very clean. It is a very sophisticated sound now and the LeMans tips are just perfect. This system looks near OEM in design and quality.

One thing to note, the hangers on the system allow it to hang too low. One option was to remove and re-weld so it pulled closer to the car. The other is simply use band clamps on the rubber hangers. As you tighten them it pulls the pins that hold the hanger closer to one another snugging the system to the car. Perfection is in the small details...

Sounds good! Thanks for sharing! Any suspension upgrade planned?

Honestly, I like the look at stock ride height. The guys at AUTOcouture Motoring are with most others encouraging me to lower the car.

My car has a very aggressive stance with the tire size and spacers, it looks very purposeful in person. Perfect in my humble opinion.

That Eisenmann Performance Exhaust is one of the nicest I've ever seen. I wonder if they make one for the OG M2.

This might have actually convinced me to go with resonated version, the sound is very clean! Might also minimize the chance of that weird rattle people were complaining about too.

How are you liking the CS still?

Resonated mid pipes are a must for me. The volume might be lower, but the sound is very clean. I value tone over volume.

I love the cs, it really is a special car. I will say I have had internal struggles now that mid 2020+ cars can be tuned... Need I say more?

If I still had a comp, it would be 500whp by now...

Once I sold M3 I ordered a LBB M2 comp. Once I took delivery I realized the color was not for me and traded it in for my M2cs. Story and a few pics in the link below.

https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1846257

Mods so far:
80% PPF
OEM 763M "cs" version wheels powder coated (I still have the original black wheels and Cup 2 tires)
255/275 MPSS tires
12mm spacers front / 7.5mm spacers rear
OEM M2 competition steering wheel
AA EL res mid pipe
Eisenmann Performance Exhaust - Valved
ASD delete
Carbotech 1521 brake pads

Some of the pics are at similar angles, however I couldn't decide which ones to cut out. I love this car!





















[...]
Just to be sure this is the Eisenmann valves exhaust and the AA equal length mid pipe and I don’t need to cut right?

I believe they had to add a bit of pipe between the two. It was straight forward for them as they have likely done hundreds if not thousands of cars over the years. I would not let this deter you, the combo sounds awesome and the quality is just as good as OEM. Perhaps better.
