Thanks for uploading. I don't care about the tips per se, was more interested in whether or not they stick out far enough. Are you running the standard exhaust, MPE or something different? If MPE do you have the one for the performance diffuser if you happen to know?

I'm just running the standard exhaust. The new tips I installed are 93mm in length and stuck out plenty. I actually cut the studs off the top of the tailpipes with a hacksaw so I could set the new tips back further. They we're sticking out awkwardly too far for my liking. I'm not sure how far the original tips would stick out.

Installed M perf rear diffuser.

MassNerd · 03-14-2020, 10:21 PM

Installed black grilles. Apex group buy EC-7 rims in Satin Black on the way and they wouldn't look right with chrome up front!

Today I installed new courtesy lights with the BMW rondels. On my mustang I had running ponies and a friend was so impressed he would bring people over to see them. Thought I would keep it up with the rondel BMW lights.

This broke my heart. That's just tragic.

I noticed one in my tyre yesterday. No loss of pressure so it can stay there as far as I'm concerned.

cristo · 03-15-2020, 07:10 AM

Boneman:
Since it’s new, at least you can buy just one
instead of a pair.

Middy2000:
Would get it plugged (I’d just do it myself,
personally) while its still easy to do, since
at this point you haven’t compromised the
sidewalk by driving on it with low pressure
yet.

Wakka · 03-15-2020, 07:52 AM

Dinan midpipe went on

cooolone2 · 03-15-2020, 08:22 AM

Trying NOT to wash it again... Lol. Wife says I'm becoming obsessed!?

I say it's the brake dust

(Drives me nuts)

How many washings is too much? Lol

It's close to the edge so no tyre place will fix it as the plug won't sit flush. The nail is probably the best plug there is.

In that case, add another hundred or so more and call it a studded winter tire!

Fixed that for you!

cristo · 03-15-2020, 07:41 PM

Dynaplug it yourself.
If it’s really close to the edge of the
tread, then just replace the tire.

You should check out Obsessed Garage.

PDM5 · 03-16-2020, 07:22 PM

Installed the 18" Arc 8's from the group buy! I completely forgot how good the car feels with a nice setup! I don't think I ever want to go back to a winter tire ever again, it completely ruined the feeling of the car. Plus, I don't think the dedicated snows are really necessary in the DC area anymore . . .

I can see no way this cunning plan can go wrong.

You got your wheels from the February 2020 group buy already? Still waiting on mine, although I wouldn't put them on until the end of March anyway...

Let's see some photos!

Yep, got em on Friday! I'll have to wait until I can give the car a good wash for photos. Also, I need to look into lowering the car slightly . . . it looks like I drive a lifted truck now!

All good. Just drive fast and the virus can't stick to you. Scientifically proven.

Today, I saw a FaceTime of my son taking delivery of his new M2C. I feel like a proud grandfather!

Or, does my 2 now have a cousin?
