The white stains on your Dinan intake and wheel well are definitely from a coolant leak when engine is heated up and under pressure. Check radiator hoses on that side of the engine and also check the water pump shaft (that's what the cause of leak on mine was). It'll be hard to tell the water pump shaft is leaking but you should be able to see it when under the car.
rly love the clean look of these 2 beauties good job! didnt expect to see these suckers go for 50k upwards on the german market so ye i guess ill rather get a f87 :D
I see you have the Dinan intake with euro headlight. What modifications or trimming , if any, did you need to make the intake fit with the headlight? I have the Dinan intake and want to get euro lights but have seen people struggling to get them to fit together. Thank you
I actually didn't have issues fitting the headlights with the Dinan intake, although it helps to remove both before install to make any minor fitment adjustments. It was harder to fit the headlights on the passenger side with the factory horn, but I just relocated it to a different bracket
@ thank you for your reply. It’s good to hear you didn’t have to trim or cut anything to make the headlights fit. Did you fit it with the Dinan filter or you went with a smaller filter like a K&N one to assist the fitment? For my car, I have both horns on the driver’s side. So I do have the added challenge to relocate one of the horns

fair enough, and I feel like the M2 is the only new bmw thats e36-adjacent
Nice cars, s50 isn't slow, it's ok, m52 is definitely slow but stout. Love interior on both minus headliner 😊
