My new Toy
 

Here is the new toy :thumbs:
M2 Dct with a few toys heated steering wheel is great in this weather :whistle::thumbs:

What i have done since buying it.

I have fitted it with an Autowatch Ghost and a Thinkware F800 Pro dash cam
coded the stop start and the active sound OFF.

I then removed all the wheels and cleaned and waxed them inside and out
To protect them from the winter roads.

Then the Rear Spoilier was removed and a Carbon one fitted :thumbs:
I bought a standard rear diffuser and have coated it in carbon work in progress pictures to follow.:thumbs:

Mark, Congratulation :thumbs:

Like the colour, looking forward to see your carbon bits :hahaha:

Cheers Roland
I am liking it the F80 M3 comp was fantastic but big :thumbs:

Nice mate :smokin:

Very nice Mark !!! :thumbs:

Thanks Here are a couple taken in the underground carpark how the colour changes :thumbs:

Congrats mate :thumbs:

How are you finding it ?

Its just like the 1M but a bit more planted :thumbs:

I have a feeling it will be needing more power soon :whistle:

Retro fitted the LCI centre consol today looks cleaner with the cup holder lid:thumbs:


Part from BMW was £106.21 and takes around 40 min to change over.

Looking good Mark, nice choice and good to see the M's still coming in :beer:

Items were well packed and came with screws but i decided to use bigger
washer bolts from bmw to install the kit.

Awesome work.

Looks great!

Starting to appreciate these little M's especially when the price has not one the wrong way for the purchaser yet. the 1M is a little mad at the moment IMO, and I know the purists get upset but I hate the BMW manual boxes, and the DCT's are run to drive, nice car mate and you are making it better as you go.

The M3/M4 being a bit big now, the M2 seems a more nimble counterpart, and more in line with what the M3 should be ;0)
