M2 available on realoem, what parts can we rob from it?

Looks like the M2 has bespoke strut hats, perhaps they dial in a bit more negative camber...

And why, again, is this in the 2Addicts forum? (The M2 has its own forum here, with its own suspension subforum here).

Please explain why this has anything to do with other 2 Series cars in the subject field.

2Addicts like me enjoy evaluating M2 parts for back-porting, e.g. fuel pump, body braces, turbo, strut hats. It's also nice to know how the M2 differs in ways that are harder to change, e.g. pistons, crank journals, etc.

Subject updated; hope it meets with your approval.

Before we know it, M2 owners will fear roving bands of 2 series owners who strip their cars down for parts like locusts consuming a field of grain.

Anyone willing to bite the bullet here and compare? Alternatively, any vendors on here with access to M235i and M2 strut hats?

Sorry that I haven't updated this thread...

I had a look at the strut hats on Dinan's M2: I couldn't discern anything about them that would indicate they give more negative camber.
