Wasn’t too sure on the suvneer hood fitment but now I feel confident on its quality if fritz bought it, as always appreciate the high quality videos you produce
@@lifeofsiy7521The hood definitely is. Especially if you're lowered. 20 pounds isn't much but in the front it really is. There's this speed bump that I could never quite fully clear before the hood and now I can. Would you mind sharing your thoughts on the exhaust you end up getting when the time comes?
@@FritzRamos that’s awesome that the weight reduction is that apparent/beneficial in your case. And I’ll definitely link some sound clips when I purchase a exhaust.
Great video. I'm about to do this myself. I'm trying now to figure out how to remove the stock silver springs in favor of the black CS springs. Any tips?
Wished I lived in your area , I live in NJ and have a 2016 M235 xdrive convertible , would love that mod , it also dissipates the heat from under hood , great work
What a great video. The corners of my hood sit slightly higher than the top of the front bumper. The middle is aligned well. What do you advise? If I pull the corners back the gap became too big. What do the turning bump stops do by the hooks?
Great Video Fritz! Have an M235i and live in the Bay as well. Seriously contemplating doing this. Were you able to sell your OEM hood and where did you list it?
Nice! I was. Just listed it on Facebook. The hood has mad a considerable improvement in my daily driving especially since I'm lowered. It's also noticeable during wider turns. Let me know if you have any other questions
Hey Fritz, hope you see this. I’ve got an M240i, and I’m using this video as a guide to installing my own new hood. Everything makes sense, but I’m concerned about one thing: that black portion on the underside of the OEM hood toward the center, what do I do with this? I see that you didn’t take it off of your OEM hood/ put it on the new one. Is this some sort of weather protection? I don’t want to miss anything and potentially open the door to a water damage situation. Thanks
Do you mean 50 Total? I think the wheels only came in 4 lbs lighter per wheel and the hood is 20, soonly about 36 pounds in total. The wheels you can tell a difference right away, the car feels less sluggish off the line. In terms of the hood, the weight in noticeable a bit during take off, but more in a turn where it feels more balanced opposed to its previous front bias. You also can hear the engine and turbo as well.
Nice looking car bro,now you've done the hood/bonnet in the UK,how about a front lip to tie in with the gt hood,that aside the car looks really good bro,excellent choice of mods too....
Hey fritz i have a 2015 m235i do you think they have sequential mirror caps for the f22 ive been following you for a while now and thought it would look pretty cool just never seen them on the f22s
Thank you man looks great ! Dang looks like i missed that video gotta go back and see what else i missed ! Your work and builds are amazing thank you for keeping the f22 builds alive !
@@FritzRamos Wavetrac would be a good choice. If you are willing to have your car down, you can send directly to wavetrac for modification of the ring gear and install into the "pumpkin". Then just re-install and fill with oil. You'll need a 50?mm wrench to break the drive shaft loose; output shafts have a special tool to disengage but you can do it with other simple tools.
damn kinda wish I did this before getting full ppf on my new M2c 😓 Got the ppf done the first week as I got a friggen rock chip on the way home from bmw mountain view 😪

Thank you, but there are other videos out there on this hood. Was there a piece of information that this video included that other ones left out?
@@FritzRamos much more details on fine tuning the fitment and per usual torque specs
@@bigredbeanie3310 I see. Thanks for letting me know. I'll continue to include those parts of the video
Looks pretty good - especially when you consider you've taken a wrecked, salvaged M235i and turned it into a miniature M4.
Thanks! That M4 GTS looks so sleak and beautiful. Hopefully the m235i will get there
Why do your videos make me grin from ear to ear?? Such a beautiful m235i that you have there, Fritz. Thank you for these videos!!!
Honestly the best tutorial video I’ve ever seen
I’m so happy I found this video, when I heard you say Bay Area I got so happy
Got to represent lol
Your channel is awesome fritz, appreciate the time it takes to make this quality content. You do great no nonsense work!
Thank you, I am happy to help. What plans do you have for your car this year?
@@FritzRamos I’m looking into an axle back exhaust, and possibly the gts hood, seems like a great price for the quality and fit of hood you got.

@@lifeofsiy7521 thank you! 🙏
GTS Hood is such a game changer 👌
Sure is! Especially on a lowered car
On a rainy day how does it perform with water pouring on the motor ?
How much water does it take to damage engine?
Here's after a night of rain

Union City!! Wooooooo!!! I recently got an m2 (im from the bay) and been watching all your videos! Keep it up
m2 front bumper next?? i been wanting to do the m2 front bumper for a while and completely changes the front
Great video. I'm about to do this myself. I'm trying now to figure out how to remove the stock silver springs in favor of the black CS springs. Any tips?
Definitely on my list of mods to get done this year 👍🏼
Nice! What other plans do you have for your car?
Wished I lived in your area , I live in NJ and have a 2016 M235 xdrive convertible , would love that mod , it also dissipates the heat from under hood , great work
I think they'll ship to NY
Question for you.. do you regret doing this hood!? Or do you think it’s worth gettin? I’m looking to possibly getting it myself…
Great job Fritz!!!! Looks Killer!!!!
Thanks Scott! I bet your car is looking killer as well now that you have all your suspension in 🙌
Hey it looks pretty good- Do you know if this hood fits also F20 hatchback.? Thanks
What a great video.
The corners of my hood sit slightly higher than the top of the front bumper. The middle is aligned well. What do you advise? If I pull the corners back the gap became too big.
What do the turning bump stops do by the hooks?
Ik this comment is a little old but you can adjust the latches which effects the height of the hood

Nice upgrade Fritz. Wish I had the funds to do this kind of mod. Great production work as well.
Thanks Thomas! It's definitely one of the mods that you can wait on. How's everything going with you?
@@FritzRamos going well. love your videos. would like to make some changes but getting some of the parts here is not as easy as if I were in the USA
Nice work! Your videos have helped me out drastically

So far you’ve saved around 40-50lbs with aodhan wheels and now another 20lbs with the hood, did you notice any improvements in terms of driving ?

I have a ‘16 m235i I wanna buy a m3 hood but unsure if it will fit ! Do you know the size of our hood ? Or know if it will fit or not lmk
The m3 hood will not fit on a 2 series
@@FritzRamos Ii bet I loved that hood had a feeling , bout to just get this gts hood carbon tho appreciate you bro
@@fryannn6163 no problem!
Hey fritz i have a 2015 m235i do you think they have sequential mirror caps for the f22 ive been following you for a while now and thought it would look pretty cool just never seen them on the f22s

@@carlosflores5064 Thank you foe the encouragement. Hope they continue to help
Hey Fritz, does your hood shake at high speeds? I can see my hoood from the driver side a rattling.
Nice fritz love the vids do you have lsd? Or will you ever plan on going lsd ?
It's definitely on the todo list. I was thinking Wavtrac. Do you have one that you could share your insight on?

Got the ppf done the first week as I got a friggen rock chip on the way home from bmw mountain view 😪
Oh no! Well if you decide to get it, you could always sell your current hood for more because of the ppf
How long does it take to arrive for shipment?
Was about a week for me
As always, excelent video.
will you do a exhaust?
At some point, just haven't found one that I really like yet.
next upgrade has to be the M2 front bumper man
It's definitely on the list!
Nice!
Thank you!
