List your good, inexpensive mods

I'm borrowing the idea from our F80/F82 forum (thanks igagjan) to find out better quality upgrades at lower prices for the M2.

What does this do exactly, just shorten the distance of the clutch depression?

I used "CodeMyCar" (codemycar.com). I've used them in the past. Very good service. I had it done remotely. I believe I paid $150. Probably can get it done cheaper, but they've been every good to me in the past, so I went with them again.

Hope this helps

Yes, it shortens the travel distance of the clutch. Great mod for the money. I have it on my E93 M3 and it really makes a huge difference, especially in traffic. It also allows you to change gears much faster. Very easy to install btw.

Well, you sold me - just put one on order. Sounds great! It can keep the ASD bypass harness and Sto-n-Sho front plate holder company until my M2 shows up. Thanks! -scr

Good call, you'll like it! And get ready to laugh once you remove the stock one, what a joke.

Fitment is fine; driver's side is 10/10. Passenger side is 9/10...there's an tiny tiny uneven gap on one side. Truly no one but myself would notice, unless I point it out.

The caveat is, maybe I got lucky. I think that's the downside to knockoff parts, YMMV...

Any codes being thrown with those new turn signal bulbs? Also, are you using all 3 adjustment shims that are provided on the clutch stop?

I have no idea who sent you the quote for $65, but they are overcharging you compared to what you would pay if you simply went to the TechnicPnp website directly.

Are you not able to view the TechnicPnP website? https://technicpnp.com/product/asd-bypass-harness/

Here's a screen capture I took 2 minutes ago from the TechnicPnP website:
