The chances are quiet high that somewhere along the line that components have been hurt or stretched beyond their design limits. I am not saying that is a fact, but the chances are high.

in Hindsight, i should have, those rear fenders were 30k a pop back then and now no stock or +80k per side which makes it unfeasibleMan was about to cut up his beautiful 135

Ive seen this one, its probably an animal to drive and value for money however i think the mods are just too serious for my liking as it will compromise it mechanically.

Agreed.
I sometimes ponder if not driving it is doing a dis-service and wasting the car away, and then I realised that I have spent more time looking at the car than driving it

Guilty 🤣
Should I just drive and enjoy ? Or keep it as it is ?
(I don't want to highjack the thread)
You already have a very scarce car... As much as car manufacturing bean counters have deemed automatics to be what the masses want, a collector will always pay for a 'pristine' manual M car simply because they are becoming harder to find
By not driving this car, you're only depriving yourself of the enjoyment and memories and experiences of owning such a car and paying insurance premiums for no real benefit? It's much akin to not having sex with your super model gf/wife because you're saving her for the next guy!
Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone bud... Please go out and enjoy your car and when the time comes to sell once you've had enough, please drop me a pm, i would gladly purchase that car from you 😜

I had a M2C Manual, big brakes and M drivers pack. Sold it for way more than I paid for it in 2022, biggest regret. I have not found a car as fun and practical enough to daily. I got it when covid hit and we were in lockdown, so any chance I could get I drove it..... hard
I kept it stock and it had a spiritied life with me, and it never skipped beat. I did a few long distance trips with it (JHB to CT) averaged 8.2 l/100km with bikes on the roof! A mate drove mine and immediately got one as well (DCT). We did a few breakfast runs and the manual was able to keep up with the DCT (I should have Dyno'd it because it did feel unusually quick). He eventually sold M2for a Cayman and also regretted it, not as practical and the Cayman on the edge is very different to the M2.
I'll still keep looking for one manual is a non negotiable for me, manual M3 would maybe be an option as well. It's not the best gearbox and the autoblip isn't great but for driver involvement it is unmatched. I may be wrong (quoting a BMW sales rep here) but there are fewer manual comps than there are CS's

Meneer you are gate keeping these toys!! if you won't drive them show us! I rate with your mileage an extension might be a waste of money since your probably won't utilise any of it.. before mine expired a made up a story on brake shudder when braking at about 180km per. it took bmw 2 days to approve new discs but they did. that was at 32k km...
U need to use it more often to prevent other issues down the line of having a car standing so just be cautious of that. Use it every Friday to work man these cars are meant to be enjoyed. 5 years from now whether your car has 2000km or 9000km - its still gonna be a wow and a unicorn…
