What did you do to your 2 series today?

hernandez706 · 06-01-2020, 10:46 PM

Treated her to something nice. New wheels!

NISFAN · 06-02-2020, 04:56 AM

Seat swap completed.

Recaro CS Sportster with pretty much all BMW functionality. i.e. passenger sensor, side airbags, seat belt pre-tensioners, etc.

What a difference to the standard seats. On track I had to consciously brace myself in the corners, now no such effort required.

Carbon driveshaft and Alcon brake upgrades in progress.

I'd love to see some more pics of the interior from a bit further distance if you happen to take them.

Oh man, that really kills the trunk space

o don't think getting a "donut" would fare any better than that, right?

Also how are you tying it down? Surely it isn't going to just hang around in the back unsecured.

cristo · 06-04-2020, 07:25 AM

I got a pair of heavy duty 3/4” x 8’ Velcro
tie down straps and X-crossed them over
my compact spare and through the tie down
holders at the 4 corners of the trunk.
Works very well, even in a convertible’s
trunk.

That does look great. I wish BMW still made an MPerformance CF center piece with the convertible switch cutout.

I've shown this before. The minispare allows itself to be strapped down easily, while allowing enough space for a piece of luggage on top. Of course, since I've had it (5+ years), I have never needed it.

Threw on some 17x9 wheels along with some m4 lca's. Car feels much more planted now.

Excellent choice on the 17s! Kicking myself for not getting them. Looks great! Spacers and a drop?

Thanks! There are some good benefits to 17s.(weight, price, more sidewall) 5mm spacer in the front just to clear strut and h&r springs for now.

That's with LCAs and H&R springs?

I've got 18*8 et40 245/35/18 and it's rubbing where the bumper meets the fender. I'm on LCAs and Dinan Springs with fenders rolled.
