    Been offered a deal on a 2025 M2 (480Bhp)with Race and Track Packs

    I just test drove a 2026 M2 (manual) that I was thinking of trading my 2011 1M towards. I didn’t make the trade. The M2 didn’t have the steering feel of either my 1M or Emira, and while it was more agile than I thought it would be given its weight, it was nowhere near as fun to drive. That said...

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    If I turn my parking sensors off in Settings, they will not come back on.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    I switched to EBC Yellow pads last year after a few track days…Way better than the OEM pads for both track and street use. Those OEM pads shed chunks of material - it was really worrying when I noticed it during a track day.

    Slight surface rust on front bumper grates

    I’ve had my Emira since taking delivery just north of Chicago in March 2024 and have driven it in the rain and in the winter (dry days, but with salt remnants)…no such issue with mine. That’s crazy…

    Show Us Your Vanity Plates

    Not sure if you’re joking…"OG" commonly stands for "Original Gangster," but has evolved into a slang term for someone or something that is the original to something. My friends and family would ask if I was the “anal OG”…

    Show Us Your Vanity Plates

    Not sure I would have that plate…I’d probably get a lot of “$hit” from my friends and family…

    What things annoy you on Emira?

    When the side windows are down, the aerodynamics of the car cause hot air coming off of the front radiator to vent into the cabin…It’s crazy. Easily 10°F hotter in the cabin when cruising with the windows down.

    Does your Emira have these fitted underneath in front of the wheels?!

    I have a U.S. FE V6 manual transmission - delivered 3/24 - and it has these pieces. I have the Sport Chassis…curious if the Touring has them too…

    Love the Falken Azenis RT660+

    I got this setup instead of the Cup 2 tires…Saved $800 and they are nearly as grippy - and they lasting way longer too! Highly recommend!

    Streetable track tires

    I put on a set of Falken Azenis RT660+ and did a track day last weekend. I have another track next weekend. So far, I’m really enjoying them. I really want to try the Hoosier Track Attack Pro, so if you try a set, please give your impressions.
