Crazy modded 235i or M2
Hiya,
First time on the 2forums..was previously over at the z4(35is) and f10 forums. I have a dilemma here in HK.. I called BMW to put a deposit on the M2 and they told me its (converted to USD) about 12,500 non refundable deposit and only refundable if the car costs more than 125,000 USD. I actually have a GTR but my wife might need to drive this car and the GTR is a big big...so..this is what I am thinking.. Used m235i 58K USD (I assume approximate install costs) KW DDC + HR 3k Manhart Widebody 5k Wheels (not important because would be on both cars) ER FMIC, DP (catted for my baby),CP 2.5K Sway+Springs 1k EBC Pads + New discs 1K JB4 .5K LSD 3K Pure Stage 1 or 2 (not sure..wanna make sure i can use it on track..not just short drags)...so another 2-3K So my total price comes to <80K USD for a used ..but pretty much fully modded M235i.....or 110K (I think that will be about the approx price). I want to use this as a DD but i can take to trackdays all the time..my only concern with the turbo mods is that I think it will overheat on prolonged runs..so need to look more into that what;s your thoughts on this...? I am genuinely confused..as I think the main concern is that noone knows the actual difference between M2 and 235 ..if its S55 vs n55..if the chassis is different and can't be bought..then its a big deal..i actually dun mind too much the resale...but more sheer performance (not just raw HP but also handling) the dealer also told me that the approximate wait time would be about no later than 3q 2016..which mean i can expect it in 4q 2016 or 1q 2017 knowing the reliability of dealers in general Last edited by AsiaKid; 09-21-2015 at 09:08 PM.. |

This is an off topic question but after doing a widebody kit like the Manhaart, where you have to cut out the rear wheel arches, is it possible to return it to normal if you want to take out the bodykit?

You would either have to repair or most likely replace the quarter panels, to return to stock.

However, as the front pieces are glued / swapped entirely it would only be the rear quarter panel that needs to be re-done. Yes, it is work. But entirely doable. So with the right budget, it even would make sense on a lease car. But who would want to remove such a cool looking kit anyhow? |

I assume HK has a similar market for modded cars as the U.S. here they are not easy to sell and in most cases you don't get much if anything for the additional money spent on mods. Conversely the M2 will likely have broader appeal and probably hold its value a bit better.

I have no idea how much should I ask for, this is only one Genuine BMW M235i Racing bodykit on the steet, after +modded $$ is higher than a M2.
We have a HK F22 FB group, most of our member use KW V2, V3, and I use KW clubsport. I think the price of DDC is too high, I highly recommended clubsport instead of DDC. |
