    I’ve had 400 miles on my G87. Not yet through break in, but I LOVE IT! So glad to hear another BSM (black) owner say he considered satin PPF and decided he liked it glossy. Mine is getting out this week with full body STEK Dynoshield to let more of that metallic flake shine through. I’m also contemplating gold or bronze summer tire wheels. Tough to find a set I really like though.

    I’ve concluded that I’m just a grumpy old man now. I look back with nostalgia for the cars of my youth and irrationally don’t like anything made today. There are vehicles I would buy today sure, but I’d much rather have a car from 10 or 20 or even 30 years ago. Is this what happens when you get old, is this why my parents didn’t like the cars that I now love?

    I have a Toronto red M2 that is “ready for transport” at the factory. I am not sure when I will get it, ugh. I was wondering if anyone has put the M performance lowering springs on it to get the right tire to fender gap that it needs. I am worried about lowering it and then having BMW get bitchy on warranty items.

    I love the F87 M2 and the G87 is growing on me but I’m just curious how the M240i of precious is an excellent daily driver but the M2 is not? So far most of the content I’ve seen on G87 is how to make it look reasonably appealing with body kits and parts. I realize the new M2 is a comfortable daily but you’ve said comfortable as it should be but I’m not sure M cars were ever really comfortable they always had harsher suspension and a raw appeal to them maybe as I get older I just want to go back to where cars were more analog. Hopefully the refresh will fix some of the styling of the G87 we’ll have to see but if I were to spend the money I think I would go for a gently used M2CS over the G87 just my .02

    There are good reasons the M2 isn't sold like Archie's, which admittedly looks brilliant, especially the front splitter. Archie's made a track weapon, but his spec is compromised for the road. The ride quality will be significantly compromised and the splitter is simply impractical on UK roads. You talked about how you ruined your previous gen. M2 for the road and simply made it a track weapon. When are you going to start listening to yourself and resist ruining a car purchased for the road for use on the road???!!! When you finally grow up, you will realise that when it comes to road cars, BMW and its multi-billion Euro developments know better than some guy from Watford, and any other individual from anywhere! That said; BMW is missing out on money by not offering a version setup for the track, like Archie's, and letting the aftermarket take the money.
