Detailer's Domain's 2016 BMW M2 in Long Beach Blue

good lord. what a build.

 

Eventuri Carbon Fiber Engine Cover for the BMW M2 F87

I picked this up from the team at IND not sure if it's on the site yet but I believe they have them in stock.

Everyone can use more carbon fiber.....

Items that you will need - BMW Logo - part # 11 14 7 788 967 (this is not the same part number on our BMW M2 Engine cover)

You will also need to pull the rubber grommets (total 3) out of the oem engine cover and put them into the carbon fiber cover as well as the insulation. Pics below.

Since I'm a bit ocd I went ahead and used the Rupes Ibrid Short Neck with the Rupes Yellow Pad and Jeffscar Micro Finishing Polish (coming soon) to remove some of the hazing left behind from possibly the wetsanding and compounding after the clear coat was sprayed. I went ahead and polished it out to remove the haze and bring out the shine. Following it with 2 layers of Nanolex SI3D HD ; )

Polishing the haze out


I opted to remove the Eventuri decal.....
Probably should have removed them first before polishing



BMW Roundel Emblem




Used Nanolex EX to prep the CF Engine Cover for Nanolex SI3D HD


A nice thick coat of Nanolex SI3D HD goes on

Removing the rubber nib, removing knobs, removing hair off your tires.



I used one of the razor blades that we use for clear film installation to clip them off, some use nail clipper or box cutters all good.



a nice clean look. something so small and such a big impact ; )

 

and so the guys at Rogue Engineering just informed me that my brakes are in ; )

The dash camera installation -

I would recommend a pro doing this install, even though I'm sure I was capable of doing this install I was glad I left it to our in house pro installer at our shop. It's a little more in depth than hardwiring a radar.

Winy Insight FX - Dash Camera

Unboxing.



Proper tools


Removing some panels to get some easy access to hardwire the dash cam.



Removing the trim pieces around the mirror


Testing for ignition - on/off




Wires/Fuses

Nice and tidy.


Tucking in the wires (not the best photos)

When I saw the following threads I was inspired to get this done to the M2. I thought it would not only look good but would be a great way to do some OEM plus mods to make the car a bit tighter.

Steve_Jr's thread on his F30 - http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1234698

And this one from Europe
http://www.babybmw.net/forum/viewtop...710096a1ec1bf5

I believe the below are all the parts needed to do the M3/M4 F8x Carbon Fiber Strut Mod on our M2's.

Hex Bolt - 11-28-7-839-136 x 6
Guide Sup - 31-30-7-853-702 x 2
Hexagon S - 094C3 - 07-11-9-904-141 x 6
Torx Screw - 31-10-6-859-809 x 10
Fillister - 07-14-7-162-464 x 2
CFRP strut front end 1EA : 51618061631
Alloy Strut brace (left steering) 1EA : 31122284855



The tricky part was hoping that the eventuri carbon fiber air intake would fit.

Jesse my mechanic took the hold out and reversed the bolt on top to make it fit nice and tight put some padding under the high points that would touch or potentially rub.





All in nice and tight and looking good.

Some cutting was needed on the cover and some trim pieces



More pictures to come.

 

it's been a bit of time.....update

Got Ben at Rogue Engineering to flash my M2 with the VF Hex Tune.
