Installed the Ultimate Clutch Pedal. I've had it sitting in a box for almost 2 years dreading the install since I'm a big guy and this is a confined space. Took all of 45 minutes. Should have done this a long time ago!

Hey, I know all about waiting to install mods, as I still haven't put the wheels I bought from you a year ago on the car.

They have new A/S 3+s on them for the shoulder seasons, and they've been refreshed and ceramic-coated, so maybe this fall – who knows, it might be time to put them on.

You should sell this - I'd buy one for sure.

Dealer offers valet pickup and return, using a nice trailer. Got brake flush, some computer flash that messed up my main menu, summer tires finally, and black m-style mirror caps. and they washed it, which is nice.

Finally debadged the rear. Only badging on the body of the car now are the roundels. Looks a thousand times better in my opinion.

yeah, so they did flash some computers tuesday. recoded some stuff: sensitive auto-wipers, mirror folding, turned off drive warning, a few other random things.

veepeak and bimmercode, good stuff.

i wish i could get mirrors to fold when i lock with top down, but the top starts to go up too soon. maybe it uses sunroof timing?

Here is a shot I took! Despite the car being dirty, it just makes the back look so clean!

I always wondered what these wheels would look like in this color! I was deciding between E46 ZHP or E92 ZCP style wheels. Decided on the E92 style.

Did the same and agree completely!

Ineresting part is how many folks who look at the car wind up asking what it is...the 2 is not immediately recognized by more than you might think.

I was going to suggest that's because there aren't too many of our cars around. I rarely see one where I am – maybe a few times each year, if that. That's likely a regional thing, though.

I called up the US sales through June for the 2 Series, and was pleasantly surprised at the May and June numbers. They're months six and seven out of the seventy-eight months these cars have been on sale. July, 2016 was the last month more 2s were sold than during this May and June.

Interesting stats. I bought mine CPO back in August '18.

As for seeing other 2-Series on the road/out-and-about here in San Diego I've only ever seen four other 2'ers in two years, and one of those is the M2 that a guy at my work center got.

The 2 Series has been around a lot longer than I realized!

My wife will probably kill me when/if she ever notices, but I did the same to her Estoril coupe today. The recent pics with no rear badging motivated me - thanks!
