Literally drove it round the block only hahaha 32km on the clock now ��

Re the seats, ummm well that codpiece is a joke, why have it? The Mrs hates the drivers seat and isn’t keen on the passenger one either. I’m HOPING I get used to it, “shrugs”.

Which tires have you got?

Michelins, got lucky there. Also I did get the ///M clips on the rear calipers which apparently may not be on later built cars.

I was lucky also to ensure neither front or rear number plates plinths were installed. I usually double side tape my Perspex plates to the car, however the front of the M2 makes that tricky. Solved the problem by ordering these.

Sadly I have only had mine just on 2 months and it's already had some unwarranted damage. Came back from a week away to find damage to the drivers side front guard - that had penetrated down to the metal.
Added to that it looks like the carbon inlets have been attacked by an animal. In the process of getting the thing fixed.

Reason enough for fitting a dash-cam, it may have identified the scumbag motorist that caused the damage...not so much for identifying the miscreant animal that has an appetite for carbon fibre.

Feel your frustration.

Hi guys, for those of you who have an australian spec M2, does it come with rear climate control panel in the rear passenger row? In the media press pic, it looks like the EU and US spec cars have a climate control screen for the rear row, but the ones I've seen at the local dealer don't seem to have this? Is this just a AU thing or can you spec this?

I will never sit in the back so don’t care hahaha

I will have a look for you Laz.

Haha fair call, thanks Alpine. Upon further research it seems the dealer cars now are probably 2024 spec and only have 2 climate zone FWIW.

Can confirm this. 2023 cars have them..2024 don't. Dealer told me this a few months ago.

Got it! Loving it so far.

A couple more pics from day 1.

Posting from phone put a photo upside down

Wow, did you get magnetic control suspension Lex?

Nice buddy, enjoy!

Replaced all BMW badges, Storm Trooper look.

The guys at Flow will make a custom bracket for any sized plate.
This has just been completed for the rear of my car so I don't have to use tape as a permanent solution. Such a nice product.

[OzBeemer21]

Anyone ordered the new Frozen Pure Grey Metallic or Frozen Portimao Blue Metallic?
I really like the look. Apparently only $5k more and if you order now February production.

Hi all, we’re new to the forum, from Sydney.
We picked up ours a couple weeks ago from Brookvale. Beautiful car!
We made sure to get the plinth and bracket from Flow designs so that horrible stock plastic rubbish that came with the car wasn’t fitted.
Went on our first proper drive down to the Southern Highlands yesterday, lovely lunch with the wife and we snapped a few nice pics.
We’ve called him ‘Pedro’ due to his Mexican origins.

Ours is Aug 23 built and doesn’t have.

Any Aussie buyers looked in to the radiator and oil cooler protection and what might be available in Australia?

I went with the ZunSport “Oil Cooler Grille” but just haven’t had time to fit it. Thinking fitment may take priority between Xmas and NY following that unfortunate occurrence in the States.

Just ordered the zunsport grill for the bottom side, already in the post from the uk. Good service by them!

Not sure about the other grills, all mine are covered with the plastic ones since it’s a manual and I don’t like the look of the aftermarket ones on the front.

Thanks Grace, just saw your install in the other thread. Just ordered the zunsport version for the oil cooler. Still looking for 'more attractive' alternatives for the lower front grille.
