I'm thinking about selling it and put the funds against the diffuser...I knew that was going to happen.

Performance gain? Not so much. Although, with the marginal change in intake sound and knowing that there was carbon fiber under the hood, I certainly FELT groovier! The brace modification is small and could probably be done with some snips and/or a dremel tool. I won't argue with the others who've voted for the diffuser. Makes the rear look proper but a PITA to install. Fun problems to have though, right? |

I found a picture on the internet. I guess the lid sticks up over the brace so I guess it does have to get cut. I hate to cut it but it does seem significant enough that it would impact the car.

Need some more advice on rim and tire sizes. I'm looking at getting a set of rims with these options, 19x8.5 ET35 - 19x9.5 ET40. Any issues utilizing the OEM tires? If you were to buy new tires would you go with different sizing?

If you do go that route with the oem tires, would you be interested in selling the 437 rims? I'm local and would buy them immediately. Let me know. Thanks

I have the OEM tires and wondering if they will sit right with those rim sizes. I was unlucky and got Continentals so if you guys think another tire size would work better I'll just look to make the switch now to Michelin SSP4.

I agree it doesn't do much and is just eye candy and sound. The M2's stock airbox has a extra hole in the front side, that is plugged for the installation of the Dinan intake. The is a modification for other series called a m performance mod, I think. I debated leaving the hole, because the Dinan instructions don't specify anything for the M2; other than cutting the brace. I searched but there is not clear answer how much difference this makes, other than a guy on this forum, who said he left the hole open for more sound. I thought plugging the hole made sense, because it seals the system better. One thing i did notice is, it seems that my fuel economy improved by a few MPH during long trips.

Not sure what you mean about the hole. I remember on the M235 I had to remove the snow valve and replace that with a cover.

Hey guys, I didn't want to leave before saying goodbye and thanking the many folks on this thread that helped modify my M2. I've edited my posts and left a few pictures. I sincerely appreciate everyone's advice! Keep your forum interesting and most importantly be respectful.
Enjoy your M2s, they are great vehicles. Administrator, if you wish you can delete this entire thread. |
