Hi!

Short history. Filip from Sweden. M Nerd! This is my ninth M total.

1 X M6 E63
2 X Z4M Coupé

And some other cars like Z4 35is, 135i N55 etc + many others.

Well. Now the M2.

Have been looking for a LOW SPEC M2 for years! Finally found it!

2017
MANUAL
1 previous owner
28900 miles / 46500 km
Slicktop
Manual seats
NO NAV!
Still on OEM tires from 2016 haha

Bought it bone stock. Gonna keep it clean and OEM +

Mods so far:

Black grills, gills, mirror caps
Zaero front splitter/lip
M Performance style exhaust tips
Carbon fiber stone/mudflaps

Future mods:

H&R springs
M Performance trunk lip

Hope you enjoy! Great community

Yes. Nav is nothing I need, just 3 pedals and a N55

Hi Pete. Thanks!

Well it all comes down to what you want from a M car. The most fun to drive if you consider steering and sound (with Supersprint race) is the Z4M no doubt. But the sound and ride could also be a pita haha.

I have a 4 year old son and another one in the oven so the M2 is the perfect car right now

Its Also the best looking together with the M3 E46 in my opinion.

The N55 sounds great but I want more sound so maby a DP in the future

Beautiful car!

Tell me about the Zaero front splitter, is it a quality piece? Good fasteners?

It's this one, right?

[QUOTE="///MPhatic;30333251"]Beautiful car!

Thanks mate!

Yes Thats the one.

It’s ABS plastic so I think it will be destruera pretty easy haha

Fitment and quality 100% though!

It,s like a CS lip without the Winge on the side.

It came with regular screws and bolts but I didn’t use the bolts just 3M and self-tappning screws + the OEM bolts

Will attach pics in the next reply

Looks fantastic. I think the shipping to me in the US might be a bit much. I wonder if they have a US distributor.

Rubber ages out after roughly 5 years, so friendly reminder if you’re on original rubber it’s time to replace.
