Honestly this could not be easier. First off I'm not sure what the C pillar is but I don't remember removing it. Just the passenger rear seat panels, rear seats the back panels. Most just pull off and snap back.

Rear seat bench comes out easy. Then I was reading the instructions on removing the side panels and the third step linked at the top of the page was that c pillar cover. Here https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...rests/KLFmrbBp The armrest side section also didn't want to disconnect. I guess I'm just worried about breaking any on the plastic clips and not being able to put it back together. |

You don't really need to remove those C Pillar sections to get the rear side panels off, putting them back on you have to tuck them under the C panel covers if you've not taken them off.
I don't think you can break anything besides the white clips, and I've only ever broken those on the C Pillar covers. Besides, they're like $1 each at your local stealer.

The stealership is booked till Jul 4 anyway with doing airbag recalls. What about that section that's right under the rear seatbelt. It seems to be attached at the top. |

If you do want to take that off, it's held on with 4 8mm self tapping screws. Two can be found under the padded section I just mentioned, the other two are round the side in the trunk. You can pull the liner back to get them if you have a thin 8mm ratchet, but I normally just take the liner out.

Road noise from tyres or wind noise is not something that bothers me. But the drone/sound (non-MPE) OEM exhaust does bother me when driving long "cruise control" trips on the autobahn. I already got the ASD delete cable and this was a nice improvement with exhaust noise. When I drove with the rear seats down the car was so noisy...so I'm sure most of the noise (that bothers me) is coming from the rear. My after summer/winter project will be fitting some rear sound insulation...

Thank you for the reassurance! I'd bet that it was primarily due to older tires, and I can't vouch for any of it's maintenance. I'm days if not hours away purchasing a 2018 M2!!!

I just completed a major soundproofing project on my M235i. I just bought it as a DD and I wanted a quiet ride. I wanted a small, powerful, decently luxurious, and quiet manual transmission sport coupe. The M235i close enough so I added the last criteria myself! I looked at the M2 since I wanted the LSD and suspension, but I wanted a cheaper car to rack up miles, too little soundproofing, and although I used to be involved in motorsports, couldn't justify the extra price.
A smartphone soundmeter didn't show any difference before/after the same stretch of road, similar conditions, but I hear a major difference. Around town it's noticeably quieter. The stereo sounds way better. On the highway, tire roar was definitely reduced but not eliminated. I think this was due to reduction in some frequencies over others, which was not reflected by the smartphone soundmeter. If anyone wishes to take on this project, lots of pics which you can refer to in my thread here: https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1603280 . Long story short, the sides of the car are highest yield and easy to access. |

One of the best sound quieting tricks is to change those tires. I have M3 wheels on my M2 having just put them back on after winter. They are PSS 255 fronts and 275 rears. They are really noisy compared to the winters. Sticky and large road connection area = noise.

Didn't see a reply on this one. The first one is inside where the seat belt runs in the B-pillar. Is there on my 2016. The second one I haven't looked for if it's there, AFAIK it's behind the panel where the hood latch lever is. |
