What did you do to your 2 series today?

nike001 · 07-09-2016, 03:20 PM

Drove mine to MPACT

Vortexginge · 07-09-2016, 04:46 PM

Picked her up from the Panel Beaters.!!
(after my wifes mistaken selection of first instead of reverse trying to back out of the garage)

So tried to salvage something from the whole experience and put in a set of M Black Grill Surrounds

Not exactly earth shattering stuff but its the first of many I hope!

Elvisfan · 07-09-2016, 08:15 PM

Installed my first mod. Rear license plate frame. I'm not too adventuristic. You won't be hearing too much from me on mods.

SteveInfante · 07-09-2016, 08:35 PM

Drove the snot out of it on the way to work. As usual I guess though. Trying to decide which track event to go to at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, SC.

Madmatt · 07-10-2016, 07:01 PM

Today I gave her a full wash and polish and then installed the US Millworks front no-drill tow plug license plate mount. Had to fiddle with it quite a bit before I finally got a position that didn't set off the PDC sensors. It's a bit lower than I had wanted, but came out pretty well.

Also mounted a new rear plate frame that I picked up while I was down at the Performance Center.

Lastly, I installed the ///M Front Fender badges that got removed from US models after the '14's.

I think they look great and make me proud of my car. And to all those that say it's not a real M car... Hmmm, the guys that made the car did put that letter M in front of the name for a reason...

I used some small plugs to fill the screw holes from my number plate and relocated it to the towing eye

(excuse the dirty car, I just finished it up and with the cold/rain every other day I haven't had the time to wash it)

Interested to see how/what you did for this.

Is it the hot------cold meter?

Question, what did you buy exactly?

did it void your warranty?

any suggestion ... i want to drop mine

Sorry but the position of the plate looks horrible. Use double side tap as this is what my dealer uses to install my plates front and rear.

I installed exactly what my post said: H&R Springs w/ the Dinan Supplemential Ride Quality Kit (bump stops for more suspension travel so you're not always bottoming out the suspension)

It'll apparently void your suspension warranty so if you blow a shock, they'll likely blame the aftermarket springs as the culprit so they don't have to replace one themselves.

Installed TechnicPnP active sound removal harness. Love it!

Replaced the halogen h7 low beams with these LEDs:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WNQHAIY..._OLzJxb4HFBF1H

Pretty easy install and initial impression is that they are a pretty big upgrade over stock, both in brightness and distance. The OEMs were frankly unsafe. These also give off a nice xenon white/blue-ish beam which also gives the car an upgraded look, no more ugly yellow

Haven't had any flickering or errors, although I am unsure if I'm still supposed to code the car for LEDs? If so, what do I code?

Here are some pics of the lights. Planning to do the DRL/high beams next.

Old vs. New

Both lights installed
