I am in a decent-sized metro area and thankfully haven't gotten any negative attention yet. Honestly, based on talk on this site I thought I would be getting a ton of different types of attention and was bracing for it. Outside of a couple passing comments of "I like your car" and one short...

The Acuity gas pedal spacer has been a game changer for me. With the spacer the FL5 is the first manual car I have owned that I can easily heel toe. I do it for more driving excitement in my daily driving. If I am doing any sort of performance driving (AutoX, HPDE, etc) I am just going to...

I haven't tried again, was waiting to get my 2CH dash cam setup wrapped up and the blendmount I am trying to use for the radar detector was from my M2, so it isn't a perfect fit but it is really close (may try modifying it to get it to work better). I will likely try to get power from the...

I installed the Acuity gas pedal spacer today. Selected the "B" position but haven't tried out the spacing yet. The plan is to turn rev match off in the morning and see how I like it on my commute.

Glad to hear your impressions, especially about the use of the roll foot method. My body mechanics never work with the actual "rotate your foot" style heel-toe. I have somewhat short legs and relatively large feet (US 13), so rotating my foot in that way to hit both pedals is extremely hard...

My car fits just fine in my garage, even with a weight power rack in front of it, and the hatch will not contact the garage door if the door is open. One time I did back my car up several feet so that the rear of the car was about even with the garage opening. I opened the hatch to throw...

BMW M2. Technically just over a gallon larger but from what I have seen so far the amount of "usable" gas tank is roughly the same. Whereas the smallest car I have ever owned ('93 Mazda RX-7) had a 20 gallon tank. Oh course that needed it, just rotary things. I was modified single turbo so...

Ehh, not bothered by it but I feel for people that have a longer commute. My last car had roughly the same size tank but had worse MPG so I am actually in a better spot with the FL5 regarding range.

Technically last week - Install MRT resonator delete. Small increase in volume and the exhaust note is a little more aggressive. I am happy with it for now but will go full exhaust in the future. Today I installed the ITS ADS module but have yet to test it out. Also paid the car off in...

Several of us got it from Alldiscountparts.com but we may have blown through their current stock.

Burial is fantastic. Also some of my favorite can art.

I didn't take any pics but I installed mine today as well and had the same thoughts on the outcome. I have a set of Quickjacks so getting the car high enough wasn't an issue thankfully. After you mentioned coating the pipe with some high temp paint I took a look as I thought I still had some...

Same here. Got notification that mine shipped earlier.

Mine arrived yesterday as well. Same observations, very basic, somewhat oily 304 stainless that has the tubing mfg's markings still on it. Basic hanger booger welded to tubing. Definitely no piece of art but it should do the trick for $200. Looking to do the install tomorrow or Saturday. I am...

Just trade it in if you don't care about maximizing your value or do a private sale. Trade-ins are easy which is basically the only upside for most cars on trade-in. I know on my M2 I pretty much only had the option to do a private sale even though it was a low production vehicle (only around...

I do a lot of street parking in the city I am in. Folding mirrors are nice to avoid getting your mirrors being tagged by moving cars, bicyclists, etc which happens more than you would think. Also nice for a little extra space around the car when parked in my garage. Is it necessary? No. I...

Welcome! I am also coming from a 2017 M2, so you are not alone. I absolutely loved the M2 but I can tell I will love this car as well. I just need the new owner to pick up the BMW in a couple weeks so I can pay off the FL5. I haven't done any real aggressive driving yet but it has already...

I had a rattle up in the mirror plastics as well. It sounded like the center console at first but confirmed it was up by the mirror. I put some sound mat up in those pieces and on/around the center speaker trim piece directly behind the infotainment last week. Happy with the results; all the...

Nice vid. Looking forward to impressions as well. After having Ohlins on my last car, they are hard to beat for a street/track car and the build quality is top notch. Was nice to see you guys remove the end link and toe links to remove the front struts. Way easier then removing the axle nut.

I agree, OP's sound is not rocks IMO. My M2 would get rocks stuck between the brake rotor and dust shield and it was a known common issue. No biggie, just flex the shield to let the rocks out. It made a really obnoxious/embarrassing sound that was like someone crushing a soda can. At least I...
