Your first G87 modifications...
So... yes, we've not even seen the car yet, but its exciting to think about.
So I wanted to open the floor. What is going to be the first thing you do to make your M2 your own? For me, it's going to be wheels then exhaust. Carbon Fibre will definitely follow....

Maybe a few carbon bits, but otherwise, I intend on speccing it from the factory the way I want for the most part.

Full PPF, ceramic coat, tint, front reflector delete, rear seat delete, changing the midpipe, then either springs or coilovers. All of these items will be completed within the first 2 weeks of owning the car. Afterwards will be looking at a nice carbon front lip and rear diffuser and keep it like that for a while

Aside from all the cosmetic mods I'd get the KW HAS to retain the stock adaptive suspension but allow for ride height adjustment.

I will do Performance Center Delivery and will have Extreme Colors in Greenville, SC install PPF prior to returning home. They have installed for me previously. They do all the PPF for the PC track vehicles as well as the marketing (vinyl) on the vehicles there.

Yeah that's a great idea! What happens if you need them to fix something?

It depends on what you are having covered. Generally two business days per our experience. They are closed Saturday and Sunday so it is best to arrange PCD on a Mon, Tues, or Wed. Note, Extreme Colors also perform paint corrections, ceramic coatings, and window tinting.

I also want to do PCD, Individual Paint, and PPF. Maybe just the full front option to save $.
After that, maybe 200 cell downpipes [Hate the sound of no cats] and whatever exhaust sounds right to me. IF there is full ECU tuning then I will go that route. Race Chip GTS-Black if the ECU is still an issue. Can't decide if I want to bother with intake. A lot of $ for basically some sound.

On their website they say specifically that the products that they use carry nationwide warranties and therefore shops dealing in those same products can take care of them.

Side mirrors, if BMW insists on the terrible truck style mirrors like on the G8x it's a serious bummer. After the F8x gorgeous mirrors, the G8x are just awful.

Wheels before suspension is always the wrong formula IMO.

Auto solution SSK, HAS, DP, and mid pipe. Also wheels will be transferred from my M3, and if the HAS works will transfer them as well.
