All my filters and cats are still in place.
Yes, Milltek, and no - I’ve not taken any sound clips.
It’s pretty pointless really as listening to it on either your phone or speakers just doesn’t give the real sound.
I’ve had mine on since Feb and now think I prefer it in efficient mode where the valves open at 4K anyway - it has a gruff sound to it and is very noticeable over the oe exhaust.
In Sport / + it has quite a rasp at higher revs and whilst lots will like it, (I don’t dislike it) it’s possibly a little to much for me.
I’ve heard some of the US guys with the same system but obviously they don’t have the OPFs, and they really are a bit ott sound wise.
All that aside, this exhaust really does make the car that bit better.
Also worth disabling the ASD.
I’ve also now got rid of the bloody awful blue callipers - had them painted and whilst not quite as dark as I’d hoped, I prefer to the blue..
Ar yes i see after going back it was thats pretty shady who said they had removed the filters. Yes, Milltek, and no - I’ve not taken any sound clips.

Well I took out the particulate filters 
Car looks great and agreed the blue calipers look a bit out of place. I have just done nearly 4 years with the same colour calipers on an M140 though so can probably suffer them. Liamst said:

Yes, he took out his filters and has a different system on his car.I’m just not so brave as to tune the car whilst under warranty!

Enjoyed that; envious of the roads in your vicinity! https://youtu.be/BD630v5Uv0E
When is production stopping - any news and when would the last builds be ordered as a result?
I keep getting drawn to a new M2C having previously had an M4C and then an X4M which only lasted a few weeks before rejection and being shafted by BMW as a result. Having been very let down I suppose I'm a mug for still looking at an M2C, but I do like them.
The only reservation I have is the interior, but that seems to be compensated by the drive. I'm thinking of a manual.

If you contact them direct they’re £3300 plus post, or £2950 from Kirkcaldy BMW delivered
Oh no, now I really am in trouble!!I kinda like the frozen gold but they probably wouldn't look great with Hockenheim Silver. I can't find any pics with this combo so I guess that tells me black is the way to go. What's everyone's thoughts on this?

Do you recall which firm delivered them? Were they well packaged?
It was palletline I think. They were on a wooden pallet, shrink wrapped to death so no movement at all. Wheels arrived in perfect condition and I think it was next day too. got them over a year ago so not 100% on courier or delivery times. Pjb2003 said:
I've found a few pics of FG with HS. Thoughts?
Wouldn't be my instinctive preference but the images look great. From my experience, be aware the FG wheels are very very light dependent as to how gold they look... and even the slightest brake dust changes that too.Go for it I say
