I still wonder about the big deal concerning the weight. Does that mean if you have a passenger you should assume you'll get a few MPG less in fuel economy? That's what we're talking here. Even comments on ride... does your car ride significantly differently with one passenger? Not so sure. |

Liked your review, some freshness over so many repetitive reviews...Thanks!
p.s. Not pretty sure if I understood well, did you replaced your Harman Kardon speakers? If that so, why picking the option in first place? Just curious since I'm planning to get one with my M2C next year... |

To the OP:
Thank you for the video it was informative and I learned a few things. About your upgraded speakers. How many speakers did you replace? Was it a direct plug and play? What part numbers of the focal speakers did you use?

If it's a residential area I've not been to before, in the burbs (no lake/tower) to see, and perhaps dark out....I'm pretty much going to drive around in circles for a bit lol. Let's just say, for me, gps was the best thing to come along since sliced bread!! |

There is a lot of interest in modifying the stereo! Ah, in the US, the HK system is standard equipment, rather than optional as it is in other countries. Likely that a benefit is still a better head unit to use for other speakers! You'll see the equipment I used in my build thread (I'll have to add it to a future video). I replaced ALL of the drivers in the car and disconnected the center dash speaker. Also note that these speakers are not exported to the US, so you'll need to buy them from Germany directly if you want them. https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...1542089&page=2 |

Wouldn't be right not to refer to the compendium of stereo mods for the 2 series; it's a long one: http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1236238 If you don't want to suffer through that entire thread, I detailed my stereo on my build page. It was a great DIY install and well under $1000. Many suggested the subs don't make a big improvement, I found they really helped a lot. Oh, for the source of the equipment, I ordered from Extremeaudio in Germany. For a foreign buyer, they provided great customer service, even let me return something. https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...06&postcount=6 And the full thread on my car mods on my OG 2017. I'll be doing a video with more details and you can also check my build thread on my competition: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1542089 https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1420878 |

Really thought there were several things I missed in the first video, so put together another video. Look forward to doing one on mods! I'll add here, but might start another thread. Enjoy!

Informative video. Did you say the outside temperature was about 44 degrees? Be careful of this: As ambient temperatures get colder, typically in the 40-45° Fahrenheit range, summer performance tires lose a noticeable percentage of traction as their tread compound rubber properties change from a pliable elastic to inflexible plastic. The tire industry uses the term "glass transition" to describe the temperature where a summer performance tire's grip/slip performance changes dramatically. On top of this you will get micro cracks in the tires and this will definitely spoil your day. |

Great videos! Actually the first source of info I came across that mentioned the M2c steering wheel being thinner than the M2 wheel, and also the adjusted electronic steering programming returning the wheel to centre, different from the OG M2.

I am useless with technology, so I plan to ask the BMW genius guy/gal to program my buttons for me. What do you use/recommend (besides the TPMS -nice!)?
Thanks for the videos! |

So comparing modded to stock? What abt mod to mod? Is the m2c not more equipped to gain performance as a result of its numerator given that denominators are the same? We are not just talking engine here. OP covered brakes, electronics (amp), engine, handling, ETC. Missing cooling. My buddies OG always overheated with JB4. OP, Thanx for the shortcuts on settings! Very useful. Did u get a m2c specific owners manual for the car? They gave me an m2 og manual. Gotta say that I can't believe u went slick on the carbon though. That makes the competition unique. Like paying for it three time from car purchase, slick carbon, and resale for a guys who wants a comp. dry weave is sooooo much easier to care for, grips, and gives it a raw feel an m deserves. What do you think of the m4 cs doors? |
