[Mark CSL]

Here is the new toy :thumbs:
M2 Dct with a few toys heated steering wheel is great in this weather :whistle::thumbs:

What i have done since buying it.

I have fitted it with an Autowatch Ghost and a Thinkware F800 Pro dash cam
coded the stop start and the active sound OFF.

I then removed all the wheels and cleaned and waxed them inside and out
To protect them from the winter roads.

Then the Rear Spoilier was removed and a Carbon one fitted :thumbs:
I bought a standard rear diffuser and have coated it in carbon work in progress pictures to follow.:thumbs:

Latest Mods are here

The BMW Performance Carbon diffuser and winglets are over 2k from bmw
so i was looking for a better price for the parts being a tight Scot :blalalala:

After looking on ebay i found a supplier in China with 100% feedback
and after a few emails were exchanged a deal was done :thumbs:

Items were well packed and came with screws but i decided to use bigger
washer bolts from bmw to install the kit.

Total cost was £580.00 inc postage

Starting to appreciate these little M's especially when the price has not one the wrong way for the purchaser yet. the 1M is a little mad at the moment IMO, and I know the purists get upset but I hate the BMW manual boxes, and the DCT's are run to drive, nice car mate and you are making it better as you go.

The M3/M4 being a bit big now, the M2 seems a more nimble counterpart, and more in line with what the M3 should be ;0)
