My new M2 Comp

Darien335is · 05-11-2020, 01:43 PM

So, finally traded in my 2011 335is, found a great 5K miles M2 Comp (HS, executive package, 6 speed manual, carbon fiber splitter, sides, spoiler).

Loving the car so far. Hopefully heading in for PPF soon. Tried to replace puddle lamps with the BMW logo ones, but I can't get them to fit. Anybody else having this problem?

Fun car, engine is amazing and it handles like its on rails. Also, waiting for OBD bluetooth to do some coding. How does the M2 Comp sound with ASD turned off?

Meh.. they reprogrammed the ASD the last time my car was in the shop and made it substantially less invasive.

Before it was kind of ridiculous.

Now it's subtle and I do not mind it.

The 3 things that are mandatory for sound are:

1.Remove fuses for exhaust flaps while the car has been parked in s+(the car is almost never too loud)

2. Remove charcoal filters

3. Put back seats down

That combo made the oem noises substantially more satisfying to me

I turned off ASD 1+ years ago and never looked back. I can finally here the engine and exhaust pops now. ASD was horrible in this car IMO. Very intrusive in Sport Plus.

Congrats on the new beauty! Enjoy it!!

JCZ5 · 05-11-2020, 02:21 PM

All you're missing is the carbon fiber wing mirrors!

Looks great! I'm actually looking to add the front splitter and glad I can see a shot on your car. How do you like it? For some reason I'm a bit underwhelmed at this point.

nearwater4me · 05-11-2020, 02:34 PM

Congrats on your new HS!

I didn’t have any issues switching out the puddle lamps.
You do need to shove it in with authority though.
Try using some force and see if it goes in.
Good luck and enjoy!

DanG · 05-11-2020, 02:37 PM

Congratulations. Nice to get someone else to pay for some carbon M Performance parts.

Congrats! Pretty much the same spec as me. Love this car!

Congrat. I almost bought this one myself.

bubsterino · 05-11-2020, 08:50 PM

FWIW, I coded ASD off with bimmercode and tried it for a few days and turned in back on, but I think i'm in the minority who like it. enjoy!

ROBM2C · 05-11-2020, 09:22 PM

^^^ I love it too. I don’t even care that it’s fake lol

HFW003 · 05-11-2020, 11:42 PM

What colour are you going to paint it

Kankles · 05-12-2020, 12:24 AM

Congrats! I also had a 335is at one point. M2c better car in every way minus lack of hydraulic steering feel.

Much prefer the M2C steering. Hydraulic steering is very overrated and also irritating at times. Agree with the BMW (and Porsche) engineers that it's a significant step forward for car control.

I didn't say it was bad but it is definitely muted compared to the hydraulic rack. But the plus side is less moving parts to break, etc. the feel is subjective of course.

I owned a 118d, e46 m3 and 335is while owning the F80 and driving them back to back you can really tell the difference.

I've been asking of this, and appreciate you reporting back your experience. Someone else describe it as getting rid of the sound that come on when you hit Sport or Sport + button/mode. I quite like that sounds actually LOL, and wait for the car to warm up so I can hit the M1 button. I also posted this video earlier which is probably the best comparison I've seen (but on an M4). I feel you just hear a lot more wind and road noise, because quite frankly the S55 sound is nothing special. I think I'll keep my ASD

nearwater4me · 05-12-2020, 10:49 AM

+1 here who’s keeping the ASD.
I have terrible allergies, so I don’t enjoy driving with the windows down.
With the windows up, however, you don’t get to enjoy the sounds of the car... too muted.
IMO, the ASD is pretty good at replicating the engine & exhaust sound that can be heard from the outside.
