What will your first mod(s) be?
Hi Folks
I guess there are many which will just leave the car stock and enjoy it as it is. But I‘m pretty sure there are more which plan at least a few mods, some certainly more than just a few I also know MR will make sure that the BMW carbon fibre factory will be profitable for a full year at least... I ordered the M2C exactly to my liking (see link below), the only things i added right on delivery are the M Performance steering wheel pro with cf trim, the pedal covers and the carbon fibre rear diffuser. The only thing i have ordered so far is a BMS clutch stop since i won‘t be able to re use the one from my E46. But I can imagine things like steel brake lines, short shifter, liteblox battery, M Performance cf spoiler, winglets, mirror caps, etc. and a cf engine cover coming next year. No ecu tune untill the warranty period is over, but very likely after that. What are your plans?

- M puddle lights - Carbon kit for the shifter and handbrake - Alu pedals for brake and accelerator - Red M1 & M2 buttons from IND - Side scuttles in full black from IND - ASD removal harness Front PPF, then exhaust and downpipe, then it is a full wrap and maybe the suspension kit, then it is the carbon stuff...

Edit: Another side benefit is the weight savings. The new BBK on the M2C is about 35lbs heavier than the smaller brakes with blue calipers. Essex kit saves 20lbs (10lbs front and rear each) over the blue brakes. So a total of 55lbs weight savings. |

I'm also considering hoarding parts while I wait for the car to arrive. Alcon is the best option methinks. |

Worth it. ..has already saved the bumper, hood and rear 1/4 panel in front of wheels on my M2 from rock chips. It hurts the day you pay for it, but you quickly forget about it...sort of like childbirth for women I suppose.

- Full detail of the paint and quartz coating
- Carbon kit for the shifter and handbrake - Muffler blacked out if I find a decent solution - Likely metal pedals Depending on sound, might go MPE next. Edit: might also upgrade the shifting paddles |
