Came here to say this. Stunning.

Giving me an itchy bidding finger

I clicked through the listing expecting to turn my nose up at another ruined "track" M-car, but have to admit... I was wrong. This car is beautifully done, and would be an absolute riot on the road or the track. Kudos to the seller for keeping the modifications under control, and doing things tastefully.

Great looking M2 and love the track focused upgrades.
Could I just ask a couple of things please?
Firstly, as part of the track upgrades, has the crank hub upgrade been fitted?
Was the work carried out at Aaron Reeve of King's Lynn?
Also, with the altered stance of the car, does it actually clear speed humps on the road?
Thanks.

A proper piece of kit done right! Will be fabulous on circuit. Wonder how the Moton units compare to the Ohlins kit?

Crank hub isn’t an issue on n55, in fact I run an M4 ( S55 engine ) on track with the standard crank hub, as do many others with no issue, the M4 GT4 doesn’t have an upgraded crank hub design. I’m not saying it can’t happen but generally it’s big power/torque that kills them.

Hello, thank you!
No, as one of the other members has mentioned, I dont think it is an issue on the N55 cars, and I also don’t think it effects manual cars?
No, the work was carried out by a brilliant specialist fairly local to me, Corten Miller Performance. I was very impressed by their knowledge and expertise.
Speed bumps are not an issue, however I actively avoid them. The only ones that are an issue are the ones that are a hump in the middle of each lane (that the car has to straddle), as there is no way of raising the whole car, and the diff/exhaust would scrape.

Thanks!

Thank you! A lot of research was done into the best units to buy, and a number of race teams running the cars were spoken to. Motons seemed to be the preferred option, hence the choice!
