New Owner M2C
Hi everyone, new member and new owner of an M2C, long time lurker. I've had several BMWs in the past (e46, e92), but it has been a few years since my last one. I haven't taken any pictures yet, so forgive the txt only post, but the car is HS w DCT. While I wasn't looking for a vehicle with it, the car happened to come w an M Performance Exhaust. I was a bit nervous about having that loud contraption on my new daily driver, thinking it would be way too loud and make my daily commute uncomfortable. I must say, it's actually not bad at all; while being an expensive add-on, I really like it.
Quick question...what is supposed to come with a new M2C? I received 2 keys, an owners manual, warranty manual, XM satellite radio brochure, cargo net. My vehicle had been sitting on the lot for quite some time, just want to make sure I received everything I was supposed to. My prior BMWs came with a much larger leather portfolio, but I do realize times have changed and everything is available online for the most part. |

welcome back!
as far as your list is concerned, i think that is pretty much it. hope they told you about the run-in period (first 1k-1200 miles). just follow that and bring it in for the run-in service. enjoy the car.

Were wheel locks standard or an option of the M2C? I seem to recall they were an option and not standard, but could be remembering wrong.

You guys didn’t get two lock keys? I got two plus the four extra wheel nuts that were removed to add the lock nuts.

I got two keys + 4 nuts. Next time I get tires changed or something, I'll get the keyed nuts off, and go to the regular nuts. I had wheels locks once (on a Honda, not BMW), and over the years it gave me issues.

Wheels Stolen! https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1499799 Just remove them before they take your car into to a shop or a dealer because when they use an air impact gun on the lugs, with heavy torque, the wheel locks seize into the spline. They are really meant to be hand-tighten only. I paid hundreds of dollars, trying to extract stuck wheel locks because some incompetent grease monkey over tighten my locks. Each BMW wheel lock comes with a card, with a number on it. Save it and if you every lose the lock, the dealer can order a replacement key, for that lock, off just the number. |

Same reasons for not liking wheel locks...1) Losing them, 2) over tightened / stuck, 3) tire change guys forgets to put back in the car. I live in an area where this wheel theft is unlikely, but like you said, you never know... |

I spoke to some car/wheels thieves, since then and they not are a fan of wheel locks. It can take too long to remove, without drawing attention. So that was ringing endorsement for lockable studs, despite the shortcomings I've had with them, all of which stemmed from a dealer or local tire shop using an impact gun, to over-tighten them. It's obviously your call but I strongly suggest you try to make them work. You might live a good neighborhood but the thieves are mobil and they love shopping around, in nice, quiet, residential locations. Last edited by Poochie; 05-29-2020 at 02:42 AM.. |

Did your buddies say that they know that the lock keys are usually in the vehicle? I mean all it takes is a second to break the window and find the key, no? You're right, no harm keeping on. While my car is garaged, it is outside when I leave the house. And the M wheels are desirable, so makes sense to keep on. Yesterday I moved the box of lugs and keys to the glove box. Time to move it back to the trunk.... |

No one in that line of business is going to spend the time ransacking your car, looking for a key that might not even be there. And beside, I'm pretty creative where I hid my wheel look key; trust me, if they can find that, they truly deserve the wheels as a reward. |

And beside, may I suggest the 763M over the 437M, the color is dealer's choice but they're like 4lbs lighter, per side. If you're in love with your car now, trust me, reduce some unsprung weight and you'll be creaming your leather seats.. |
