Add M2 Features to M235
I really like the m235i and got it for next to nothing so I don't mind it being "inferior" in some ways. There are few things I wish it had in comparison to the actual M2 however.
Is it possible to retrofit these things? -Greek god arms / front fender side arms with the M logo -M logo embossed/attached on the seats -Colorized stitching on the interior -M gauge cluster -Some kind of heads up display system -Some kind of oil temp readout -Fog lights? Just realized I dont think I have them... I have already added M2 mirrors, M2 Grille, CF rear lip and plan to get CF rear diffuser. Pretty mad the "M car" didn't even come with the M style rear diffuser lol. Its just plastic too, I can have adaptive steering and suspension along with M sized brake kit but cant have a better looking piece of plastic stamped out and attached to my bumper. Let me know if I missed any other fun upgrades inspired from the M2. My design goal is basically to create what the M2 would have been in 2016 had it existed. Cheers

Fenders will take quite a bit of work and effort with wheel fitment etc...
You can get m2 seats. DIY on the colored stitching https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1371568 Your gauge cluster is basically the same. You can try and fit the cover for look but I'm not sure how interchangeable these are. HUD won't be a easy addition. P3 gauge, awron, or the electronic steering wheel can all give oil temp and integrated into car. Cheaper option is to get it off phone with torque app. |

I'd be interested to see if the M2 gauge cluster can be retrofitted, that'd be a cool swap!

I just started complicated new job and am full time MBA student. I don't have a lot of free time to make it work unless it was plug and play.
