2018 M2 Competition

[leshkin]

Hi all,

I've owned my M2C since Feb 2019 and bough it used at 230miles on the clock, so still was almost a brand new car... I've put quite a few miles on it, which included a trip to Nurburgring in September and a lot of Sunday morning drives. Was hoping to get it out on track more, but time is always tight...

Spec is DCT, plus pack, with silver wheels and the upgraded brakes. I made a few light mods to it so far, which includes a subtle front splitter, lower grill mesh mod, 10mm front and 12mm rear spacers (these may go to 10mm, depending on how it looks when lowered), AutoID carbon rear spoiler and a modded exhaust. It retains OEM exhaust valves, resonator and OPF, so a nice and subtle change to the sound and no udder in sight. I'm about to install the M Performance coilover kit to lower it slightly and get me a bit more adjustment - really looking forward to that!

Exhaust looks superb! No udder in sight, lovely stuff - great photos too!! How much were the exhaust mods in total if I can ask?

Thanks for your kind words, Mark! The total was £1.4k at Deutsch Tech, Milton Keynes. I asked to have the slash cut tips similar to the E46 M3 and didn't want the resonator removed as I am not a fan of the guaranteed drone at motorway speeds that you would have. The sound is still quite subtle and many would prefer to have a louder system. I just wanted an OEM+ sound and the result is perfect for my needs.

The video seems to magnify the sound, it's more subtle in person... At least from driver's seat it is

Oft. That is lovely and in my favourite colour too.

The exhaust looks lovely without the rear silencer on display. Some nice photos too.

Is that Stowe grounds?

Yes, was a nice drive down there.

I thought I'd update this with some more recent photos of the car... Now at almost 15k miles, M Performance coilover kit and a whole load of enjoyment

I'm about to go down in size with the spacers slightly (7.5front 10 rear) ar I'm having clearance issues with the chunkier Michelin PS4S tyres. Should still look good, I think.

Good taste 😁
