What did you do to your 2 series today?

gdoan · 06-01-2016, 06:10 PM

I've had the Dinan S2 Tune installed for a month or so, but today I had the CAI and exhaust installed to complete the P1 package!

Too much DC traffic trying to get home to get a good feel or sound for the difference, but I do like what I have experienced so far. Butt-o-meter and sound on a few quick "tromps" both seem greatly improved, even over the S2 tune which, as I mentioned, has been in for a month or so!

Hoping the weather holds out for Skyline Drive run on 6/5 to put her through her paces and get some pics and vids!

Looks fantastic!

How/where did you source the alcantara seats in the US? I've been unsuccessful at finding them so far. They look so much better than than the sensatec....

My car is nearly complete with everything I want to do. (Just needs lowering springs ha-ha)

I'll make a build thread of everything I have done and explain how I got the seats tomorrow, but in a nutshell, you must import them from over seas as they were never an option in the US or Canada, and it'll be pricey close to $2k or more. (Plus, none of the seats wiring harness nor safety equipment will work with our ecu, ask me how I know haha).

Installed some cf mirror caps. Considering selling the ferric ones that came off.

Are those the RW ones or OEM out of curiosity?

Never mind! Just saw your post-purchase post to CloudIX.

BD_F22 · 06-05-2016, 03:04 PM

Start putting it back to stock to part it out and trade it in

EternalVendetta · 06-06-2016, 07:43 PM

I just installed a Lightweight front lip spoiler:

It was super-easy to install once I was able to decipher what the instructions were trying to say; the included instructions are pretty horrid. In case anyone is interested, here's how it goes: you basically remove the two middle screws from the bumper and then mount the spoiler to the car with the two long screws included with the spoiler (put the included plastic spacers over the screws before mounting).

After that you just drill in the 10 other included screws through the pre-drilled holes on the spoiler (you'll be drilling holes into the bumper, which was easy to do with a cordless drill). I did need to use jack stands to have adequate clearance to use my drill.

Installed some Bavsound Ghost Subs, I feel like I just put in $400 snake oil.

EternalVendetta · 06-07-2016, 03:48 PM

Thanks guys. I also want to give a shoutout to eas - they replaced the initial spoiler that I'd received damaged, hassle-free.

Here's their thread on this item in case you're interested in picking it up as well:

Well, I just received my VIN today from my dealer so all I did is do a bmwvin.com check to see what's up! lol

BentZero · 06-08-2016, 01:37 PM

I'm driving 400 miles back to it and I've already made an excuse to take it out on a food run. A week is too long to be away from Zero.

crbalch · 06-08-2016, 02:13 PM

Got these done this week:
- Fabspeed Sportcat Downpipe
- aFe Magnum Force Intake
- iND Sticker

iND Sticker probably adds the most performance but still to be determined

nike001 · 06-08-2016, 03:04 PM

Signed up for a track night @ Pocono Raceway
Plugged a front tire till my 2 replacement front tires arrive (MPSS)
Prepped for JB4 install (cleaned engine bay, removed JB Stage 1 box)
A quick vacuum & pat down with Griots Garage Interior Cleaner (10/10 product btw)

I've been there twice so far. Great shop, great people, and those BMW's inside

Just received my black OEM grilles from Passport BMW. Can't wait to install them when I get the car back.
