What 8 Months of waiting will get you!

BMW_M2_BE · 09-03-2016, 02:08 AM

Hey guys orderd my car on January 10 luckily right before the car expedition in Brussels where it would be shown for the first time in Belgium.
Still it took 8 months of waiting before she arrived.

when it arrived i immediately removed my mirror caps and rear diffuser. To get it ready for paint together with the front splitter i got from lightweight germany.

i'm really happy with the overall result.

Nice!
Do you have the instruction available for lightweight lip.
Could you please PM that to me?
Had the lightweight lip on my previous Z4. Was stunning like yours.
Thanks

Great!! I can't wait for mine... I could take delivery this coming Friday but am leaving the country that same day and I guess it would be even worst for my heart so, will be taking delivery in exactly 2 weeks from now! Oh the anxiety!

Can you post a link for the lip and maybe also a more up close picture of it installed?

J.M · 09-03-2016, 03:34 AM

Never mind about the link, found it.

Where did you get that insert to hold the M Performance Exhaust Bluetooth remote? Mine just came with a piece of foam that I shoved into the cup holder. That plastic looks much better.

Clean job

and nice result

Nice individual and unique touches you did there, I'm a fan! Pardon my ignorance but what's that in the cup holder? Is that the m perf exhaust switch?

Loving the front splitter, especially because it's non-CF. I'm trying to wait to see what IND offers, but I may have to pull the trigger on this one.

I personally found that the carbon fiber doesn't really stand out at its best with the mineral grey M2 therefore I used parts same color as shadow line to make some contrast.

I knew people where going to notice the MPE remote. I got 2 insert parts for the cup holders of 1 series. Both are actually not really useful but I think it looks better than 2 holes you can't cover up like in the 3 series. Right you have holder for your key, left I drilled a whole to fit my remote.

Didn't you also get yours?

BMW_M2_BE · 09-09-2016, 12:41 PM

I added an BMC insert air filter don't seem to notice a significant amount of difference but then again I haven't really gone about 4000 revs. Still breaking in.

Indeed, and only waited less than 3 months. I really respect those who manage to endure such a wait!
