Order update:

The current order status is 165 - transit from Mexico to Bremerhaven. This was updated on the 6th of April 2023. This means your new car has now been built and is in the process of being transferred to our logistics partners for delivery.
The estimated deliver week is 23, which commences on the 5th of June 2023.

Another month on top 😩 it used to take 8 weeks from order to get the car now it's just to ship it

Good luck with that. I don’t think 2023 cars have the under seat lighting that I believe you need to tie into. Happy to know if there is a solution for when someone copies those seat emblems to bring them down to a realistic price.

Have to ask, with all the stuff you bought, why didn’t you just get an M2?

Yes I agree they are too expensive, but its no different to all the ther stuff.

Im getting a loom made that will follow the factory seat loom and tap into the footwell lights, with a piggy back connector so none destructive.

Yeah lol, got/get asked this constantly with my current E46, but this is different, what would I have had on a standard M2 that I wouldnt have had to buy anyway.

I wouldnt have had to get the interior trim, seat badges or paddles, colour code the black outside and the exhaust would be fine too, but the rest I would have had to buy for the M2 too to be equal.

I'm not keen on the M2 wheels tbh and I don't like black wheels plus im a bit of a sucker for Y spokes so would still replace them.

Also I will prefer the ride comfort of the M240i as Im getting old now and the 'M' would probably only be just a bit softer than what i have now.

And lastly I prefer how the M240i looks (with the mods listed) to a standard M2.

So seeing as I will keep this for 10 years minimum (I've had my E46 18 years so far) I see the extra cost as worth it to have my 'perfect' car.

I decided to give these a go as its easier and they do look good. Hopefully they will last, I'll put some poorboys wheel wax on and make sure they are kept clean. If they fail I will always have my euro style to fall back on.

I'm hoping to match a wrap to BGM... It would be easy to pull rockers and could even tone down some on the back bumper.
