What did you do to your M2C today?

Karlosm2c · 03-09-2019, 04:46 AM

Aluminium billet paddle shifters finally put on. Love these! I know I'm being biased, but I personally think they're better looking than any other aftermarket paddle shifters I've seen on the market. They have a solid feel and you can pull on the paddles right at the top of the shifter and it changes gear effortlessly (I've heard on of some paddle shifters that struggle to change gear when you click in at the very top).

Should the wheels ever need some special attention, i'll take out that brush. So far it was not needed

Made the first stage of the chemical decontamination today. Used Gyeon tar remover on the whole car. Next week will do the second stage with CarPro Iron X...

Very soon the car will be dropped off at the Swissvax headquater. They'll shoot a wax application video featuring my M2C and afterwards make a full detailing using a 1'100$ wax

(happily i don't have to pay the detailing since I lend them my car for the video shoot

)

Thats how it looks at the moment, after tar removal today.

I have the same tint! It is absolutely wonderful and at a bargain of a price. $350 for me! Heat rejection is fantastic

Did 30% tint on the sides and 25% on the rear. as it's my daily and the wife may drive it on occasion. Only managed a quick shot as it was raining but it helps the look.

On the 18th, the car gets a make over as all my parts arrived and are ready to go on: M CF Front Splitter (and Acexxon Universal Front Lip Protector), AutoTecknic CF Mirror Caps, M CF Winglets, and IND painted keyhole cover. After that, service appointment and then get to write my bootmod3 tune that's sitting in my backseat as well as AA midpipe. I want the MPE but I'm sure it's going to be super overpriced if the rumored prices are true. Gotta find a good sounding one without breaking the wallet.

Tar remover on a new car? Hrmm...

I'm a huge fan of Gyeon myself

recently ceramic coated it with Mohs

His car isn't new, but i used tar remover on mine at 6 weeks / 1000 miles and the car was covered in black steaks as the tar spots dissolved, especially in the lower side areas as you'd expect. Plenty on the rear end too.

Benefit of silver / lighter colour car, you can really see the tar and iron removers working...

I refreshed the BMW build tracker for an unhealthy amount of time. Does that count?

Another fellow biker (and in the UK)! I had a 2016 S1000RR and M car combo a little while ago - sold the S1000RR and got a 1290 Superduke R to try and slow me down a bit lol. I still miss the S1000RR though (amazing bike) 😔

Another SS Pedal Cover / Performance Matt addition. As others have said, the pedal cover install is a PITA... The kit does not come with install instructions.

Go pedal and clutch pedal were easy for the most part. I found starting with a 3/32" bit and increasing to 1/8" worked well for the gas pedal as the screws will self tap. There are no nuts for these fasteners. Thankfully the gas pedal has adhesive on the back side.

The clutch pedal is a hard plastic. The screws came with self locking nuts. I started with 3/32" and gradually increased finding 5/32" needed to make the holes large enough for the screws. One concern is drilling a straight hole without any deflection. I found depressing the pedal accomplished this. Just be sure your parking brake is on if on a slope. Some may laugh but I could see this having a bad ending. My brake was on. Once the screws seat, attaching the tiny self tapping nut is... well a bitch. Be sure to tighten gradually at each corner (similar to tightening wheels lugs) to draw the SS cover down evenly.

Now the steel brake pedal. Getting a straight line without deflection is very difficult; or at least I found it to be. The pedal has little travel so depressing it is useless. Same drill bits as the clutch pedal. Attaching the locking nuts took me over 40 mins as access to the backside is very tight.

Love the Performance Matts. Excellent quality and feel. They will repel debris and wear much better than the OEM matts, imo. Look great IRL.

What are the recalls?

///M Houbi · 03-18-2019, 04:08 PM

1. It seems the tyre/pressure sticker has some wrong infos about the speed index of the tyre. New Sticker

2. Calculation of backpressure in exhaust not correct, DME needs to be updated
