Those stainless pipes look so good.

More power to you if they work for you, I know for everyday driving there is no way for me (and the wife, with lower back issues) would throw me out of the house (and keep/sell the car) if I brought the M2 home with the CF buckets.

I have lower back sciatic issues, and for some reason the cf bucket seats felt really supportive in a way that would not amplify that. I 100% agree that would not be the case for everyone and the seat would have to fit your hips n back right and everyone should sit in them before actually considering them. The adjustability was electric.

Thanks. She has L4 & 5 disc damage. If she got in the cf bucket, not sure she would be able to get out (I currently also have a 2018 S5 with the S Sport seats and she doesn't do well with those seats).

What I meant, is the cf buckets dont have all the available adjustments as the M electric seats (like the Full Merino or the seats in the '23 M240).

I would stay away from the cf bucket seats with any L disc damage, not enough padding.

I also have blown out lower discs.. sitting is ok but I don’t want to risk torquing my body in weird positions to get in and out. I’m 6’2 and I always felt I was compromising my low back when getting in and out of my cayman.

These have previously been posted. I am just bringing them up front since this ZB is equipped with the bi-color wheels which we do not see that often.

One more.

Personally, I think it looks better with the all black rims (and cf roof and trim). Of course, its all subjective as I ordered mine ZB with the cf roof and trim (no seats). Rims will just be temporary until I get my Vossens

I wonder if the LCI will have headlight housings that fill the space instead of reusing G42 headlights and filling the void with plastic? Seems like the new bumper design is ahead of the headlight design

Cool. Which Vossens are you getting?

I have a set of CV3Rs gloss graphite on my X3 and they look great.

Don't love these wheels in either finish. The gloss black will look filthy all the time and don't care for the spokes they chose to machine silver in the bi-color finish. Don't know if it's just me, but the design looks weird. Really wish we had a choice of getting it with 18's so I could use the stock wheels as a winter set and just get some nicer looking forged wheels.

Was thinking the CG 205Ts.

Ive got color matched Advan GTs on my S5.

I’ve said it before but these wheels in bicolor just look like they belong on a SUV imo

I have heard the G87 in person and that video is 100% accurate. Of course it is somewhat expected to sound great at cold start, but when it comes off cold start and the exhaust is switched to sport it sounds great as well. Edit, burbles and pops.

Ugggghhh. Just when a Tesla Model 3P was starting to draw me in this pops up...

Sounds so good.

The B58 sounds better IMO, but they've really improved the sound of the S58 versus the S55 which sounded raspy and farty in certain RPM ranges. This was due to the S55 having two turbos and therefor two banks of exhaust that were of unequal length. This resulted in the exhaust pulses traveling the length of the exhaust and exiting the tailpipes at uneven intervals. That all changed with the S58, it still has two turbos with two exhaust banks but they are now of equal length. Check out some pics of the G80/2 undercarriage and you'll see one of the exhaust pipes does an odd U shaped bend around the center of the chassis, that's to add extra length to one exhaust bank to make it equal with the other which makes all the difference. The S58 sounds way better than the S55.

And that is all stock. A few mods (at minimum a cat back and if the timing and cost warrants, downpipe and tune)...yowza!

Personally at most I'd just change the midpipe based on what I've heard from the G8x crowd. Don't need much more than stock.

They really screwed up with that stacked M Performance exhaust, looks just as childish as the rest of the M Performance parts. I would have gotten that it if it kept the tailpipes the same as stock.

If the exhaust is anything like what is on the M3/4, it will breathe much better with a full upgrade (cat back). Downpipe only if tuning..

As for tune, if you want to pay the price, take the time to be down for a couple weeks (to ship the ecu to Finland) and risk the warranty, these babies can be real monsters.
