Yoko A052 is very fast tire (maybe faster than re71).
However, it needs proper camber.

I heard people 'corded' it in less than 50 auto x RUNs in DS Focus RS.
If you have (or plan to have) proper camber (-2 or more) in front, you should be ok.
Otherwise, you may want to reconsider.
RE71 is nice because you can flip it.

I've got camber plates set at 2.5 deg so I should be okay. I didn't realize that the Yoko's were asymmetrical though. I might go with RE71's afterall so they can be rotated.

RE-71R is a directional tyre, but some people run them backwards in dry conditions at auto-x. It is advisable to run them in the correct direction if you are using the car in the rain.

I did the same on Friday but the non M2 ...

[VIN240i13]

60 days after purchase in Nov 2017, I had the BMW dealer install the Dinan Stage 1 V1, CAI and MPE Exhaust on my new 2018 M240i. Unfortunately, I didn’t drive the car enough to really enjoy the go-fast goodies, only clocked in about 2000 miles. When I did drive, she was a beast, absolutely no CEL’s observed.

4 months ago I had the car up for sale, I wanted to pull the trigger on a 2019 M2C M/T. After a month of joy riders, 2 buyers unable to close and silly trade/cash in offers, I decided to just keep the car and get back into SCCA Solo to breath some life and interest into the garage queen.

Since I wanted to start in SCCA Solo F Street (FS) Class, all the go-fast goodies had to come off and the stock exhaust re-installed. Today I sold all the go-fast goodies in one big batch to one happy M240i Coupe owner.

I am now looking for a car hauler and another set of rubber, this car chews front tires. Driving the car in pure stock mode is similar to when I had the upgrades, the only thing I am missing is the sound and a bit of top end pull on the straights.

Have these coming in tomorrow. How did you safely remove the caps without breaking the mirrors and how long did the install take?

[helloelectro]

Last bit of my exhaust done. Remus axleback.

Changed grill from stock to black and also vinyl wrapped the radiator bars in blue to match the brakes. [IMG][/IMG]

I used a plastic food scraper to clean cast iron pans to remove the mirror
(https://www.amazon.ca/Lodge-SCRAPERP.../dp/B0039UU9UO)

I popped the mirrors out from the bottom. Once I heard a pop and was able to get my fingers behind I gently pulled it off. Then the I pinched the 3 visible tabs and pulled away at the cap.

Takes like a 1/2 hr to complete. Easiest install ever.

I'm loving this too... Do you have a link or color/type description as you seem to have nailed the color.

Thanks in advance

[helloelectro]

I did a behind grill wrap too. Super easy. Also did some gray vinyl over the m color grille stripes.

Little hard to see but looks nice in person.

May want to try Metrorestyling.com. I get all my vinyl from there. They've got everything from 3M, Avery, etc.
