I don’t live far from BMWNAHQ, wondering if they’re hiring…

On top of not being sure if I would be satisfied with the maximum range these can drop considering how much wheel gap the G87 has, this price point has just made my decision easier. Definitely going aftermarket.

I don’t have any mods planned for the near future. I have a feeling this car is going to be a great daily drive straight out of the box, and it seems to sound great with the stock exhaust valves open. However, after finally seeing the car in person I think I’ll need to have the muffler painted black. It is wayyy too visible from the rear. I’m guessing a simple can of high heat rustoleum should work just fine.
Thoughts??? |

Mine will come in Sapphire Black and I’ll do right away the following changes:
- 1000M Bronze wheels - ECU Tune - Pipercross Airfilter - Midpipe (OPF, secondary cat and resonator delete) Depending on how it drives with the 20/21”, I’ll also be putting a HAS or KW V3 afterwards. |

Yes I agree. To be honest I wanted to go for the 827M wheels, but the dealer stated he cannot order it since it is not “foreseen by the system” for the M2… Anyhow I will not have too many issues with some decibels more since it will be my weekend car. And hopefully the exhaust note will overtake the tyre noise 😃

$2820 option z58.
I also opted for the cf trunk deck spoiler. It's the only cf part on the entire car so if it looks off I'm gonna wrap it in satin black with the roof (around the sunroof) and the air inlets at the bottom of the bumper, along with satin black wheels. My only dilemma now is seeing if I can get a set of wheels with the right offset to not need spacers. |

From my understanding, they will do what you want. They offer "tuner" spec as well which is more aggressive. The set up we're trying is ET +14 front +11 rear. I want close to OEM setting. Also keep in mind that they don't have offerings specific for G8X platform yet. That's part of what I'm piloting.

Teeing up our first mods at the moment, think the steering wheel is going to be the first. Just done an Alcantara wheel on the G42 and love it!

Anyone going for straight downpipes? I am actually thinking to keep the whole catback OEM. I am worried about the smell, but I am not sure if with secondary cats + OPF (EU spec) + muffler it is even noticeable. Catted downpipes might be a good compromise, but I don’t expect great DB gains. Huge dilemma 🥹

Why not go with high flow catted downpipe? Catless will be loud, smell and could cause CELs you may not be able to clear. |
