How are you finding the M2 so far compared to your 1er?
Also our mutual friend shorty was telling me you know of a m235i that had m2 suspension fitted to it, any more info on it?

Dale,
Chassis-wise - you wont be disappointed as straight from the crate - M2 is very good. Having parked next to an LCI the other day, the newer car ride height is higher than my 5k miles 66 plate car - easy fixes to sort that tho'. I tried an eibach sprung car and one with OEM MP coilovers during my search - cos the stock chassis is so good, eibachs were ho-hum IMHO whereas MPS was a step up. Good example of "you pays yr money and makes yr choices"
Damping and steering is a big step up as M2 ePAS doesn't have mlite std fit VSS ePAS.
Grunt-wise - its lacking even compared to my M135i so considering what yr M135i is capable of - no doubt you may find N55m shortcomings. JB4 isn't worthwhile on M2 IMHO so I'm torn between BM3 and stage 1 p/back as I don't intend to upgrade turbo or fuelling. Maybe HFC DP and either JB+ or Dinan Sport Tuner or go all in with Ray at Wrench Studios for BM3 install and stg 2 OTS map.....
As far as KW V3 swap from yr Mlite to M2 - TBH - speak to techy guys at KW UK - they're helpful bunch.
