Trims turned up quickly, I've put the dash peice on ebay hopefully someone needs to replace a damaged one, you never know, but i got the kit £300 cheaper than list price so good deal anyway.

• Acexxon Honeycomb Rear Reflector Replacements
• Zunsport Front Grill Set - Black Finish
• WMS 4" Quad Exhaust Tips
• Side Skirts and rear bumper colour coded BG (TBD)

I went with the seat backs because my OCD needs them to match the arm rest, even though I only see the sides of them.

Ive gone full mental break down and decided to go full CF all round as soon as I decided I needed the Black side skirts and rear bumper colour coded to BG. I saw R44 do this and it makes a massive improvement for me.

The car had been specced rear debadged (Inc. X drive) on order and the dealer is going to put my black one on for me. I'm going to fit the rest so a little apprehensive but should be ok.

I want to put Eibach lowering springs on, but I have a free extended 7 year warranty included in the deal and I'm not sure how that would work.

I will be going CF on the console trim panels when we have clarity on what BMW are doing with that

Been told to expect it Jan-Feb 2023.

Pics will be posted as I get stuff in.




Here's my build spec from my E46 330Ci, I wont be going this far again! LOL

Thanks for reminding me how great BG looks on the 2 coupe.

Cheers, it looks great, I can't wait to get mine, been 3 months already 😩

Did you have to use Spacers with these btw? I used willtheyfit.com.com and it looks like they will need 20 & 15mm Spacers just to get back to stock fitment?

No spacers. The 898Ms are the same ET as they 791M/792M staggered sets and I wasn't worried about replicating the 893M look as it's my wife's car and she won't see the difference.

[cannockwolf]

I have these values from researching the web

M240i standard 893m OLD
8.5 ET25 front 245/35
9.5 ET35 rear 255/35

M240i M Performance 898m NEW
8 ET27 front 225/40 -8mm poke
8.5 ET40 rear 255/35 -17mm poke

so im adding 20mm spacers to the front and 15mm to the rear so it will be

M240i M Performance 898m NEW WITH SPACERS
8 ET27 front 225/40 +7mm poke
8.5 ET40 rear 255/35 +3mm poke

[monagram]

Cool - I just didn't feel the need as they look fine to me in this application. Here's how they look from the side.

[cannockwolf]

Thanks for that 😁

[cannockwolf]

The WMS Exhaust tips seem to be unreliable getting stock so I had a brain fart and thought about putting my favourite eurostyle tips on that i have on my E46, so i got these off ebay hopefully the quality is as good as my original ones

[cannockwolf]

These are the tips i have on my E46

[cannockwolf]

These just arrived, quite impressed with the quality seeing they are ebay specials £50 each

[Ajax30za]

Can you post a closer pic of your AutoID rear carbon spoiler installed? I just want to compare it to the job done on my car and see if I need to take mine to another shop to get refitted to be more flush.

[cannockwolf]

I haven't got my car yet bud, but the rear spoiler is genuine not auto id, the rest is though
