2015 BMW 2-Series Convertible M Performance Parts
At BMW the letter M signals the presence of high performance and a very special brand of sporting allure. And now Original BMW Accessories from the M Performance range can be specified for the new BMW 2-Series Convertible, stylistic and technical modifications combining to elevate the joy of sporty driving to even higher levels.
Extra dynamism for the exterior
Side skirts and skirt decals with M Performance lettering lend the BMW 2-Series Convertible extra sporting appeal, as does the rear diffuser. They also match up nicely with the exclusive front grille with black trim surround and the carbon exterior mirror caps. BMW M Performance accent strips which run along the flanks of the car below the crease line inject fresh visual momentum, while attractive BMW M Performance 19-inch light-alloy wheels in 405 M and 624 M styling advance the cause of exclusive sportiness. The 624 M can be ordered in either a bi-colour (matt black / milled) or a polished variant. A stainless steel silencer with chromed tailpipe embellishers and inscribed M logo ensures the car signs off in dynamic fashion. Customers can also specify the tailpipe embellishers in carbon.
High-quality carbon for a more sporting interior
The BMW M Performance Accessories range offers a host of finely matched products made from high-quality carbon (some combined with Alcantara) for the interior of the BMW 2-Series Convertible. These include the selector lever trim or – in manual cars – the gearshift lever with Alcantara gaiter, as well as a handbrake grip likewise with Alcantara gaiter. The centre console trim, centre armrest and interior trim strips can also be retrofitted in carbon as accessories. Alcantara steering wheels with carbon trim, which can be specified with or without an integrated Race Display, are impressively grippy and provide a sporty feel.
Like the easy-care BMW M Performance floor mats with eye-catching M Performance lettering, the attractive BMW M Performance pedal covers and footrest in stainless steel also emphasise the sporting character of the BMW 2-Series Convertible. Another highlight feature is the BMW M Performance key case, with its sophisticated Alcantara/carbon material combination and blue hex bolt. LED door sill plates in stainless steel with illuminated M Performance lettering even bring a sporty sense of occasion to climbing aboard.
Here’s how to convert machine screws and ring caps into a handful of impact sensitive cap darts, that don’t cost much to make, but are guaranteed to be a blast.

This was an original idea for new exploding ammo adapted for my laser blowgun project. (https://goo.gl/lu3o0M)
Project History & More Info:
Ever since I made the Laser Blowgun project (https://goo.gl/lu3o0M), I’ve wanted to develop a blowdart that explodes on impact.
So I picked up some shot-gun primers, which worked impressively well, but I quickly realized they may be too powerful for using around the neighborhood. Not only are primers extremely loud, but a lot more dangerous and expensive as well.
My next prototype was with modified ring caps. Ring caps are safer and more readily available, not to mention they still give off a satisfyingly loud bang.
I had some 2″ finishing nails around my workshop, and I was happy to see the heads made a perfect fit into the cups of the ring caps. I used those to prototype darts similar to how we made nail darts in the Laser Blowgun project, only this time, the nails were assembled backwards, with the tip of the nail in the hot glue. This made a kind of stun-dart with an exploding tip.
By carefully cutting the individual cups off the rings, I could get 8 shots that made a bang when they hit a target, and they were simple enough to load and shoot, that even my 4 year old could handle them without any issue.
In preparation to film the project, I went back to the store to find more 2″ nails like the ones I had, only to find that the heads were different sizes. In fact I couldn’t find any finishing nails with heads that would work anymore. They were either too large, or too small to securely fasten the caps, and since they weren’t consistent, I had to develop a different option so these cap darts wouldn’t be so difficult to duplicate.
While searching the hardware store for other options, I accidentally stumbled on the idea of using machine screws. That thought hadn’t crossed my mind until this point, but the more I thought about it, the more they seemed perfect for the project!
On experimenting with different sizes, I found that #6 machine screws made a perfect fit into the caps, and the threads held them on securely. The best part was that screw nuts could be added to weight the tip, and adjust the center of gravity. Excellent!
With this simple machine screw modification, the darts are heavy enough that they can double as cap-bombs. And to use them by hand, all you have to do is simply throw one into the air like a dart, and watch it flip over and fall to the ground, impacting it with a loud bang.
I’m excited about these cap darts, because you can make 5 of them for around $2, and they’re literally a blast. They’ll last indefinitely, and are a fairly safe form of firework entertainment. Anything that goes pop, buzz or bang is always a great way to get attention and have fun!
This was an original idea for low cost exploding blowgun ammo adapted for the laser blowgun project. (https://goo.gl/lu3o0M), but feel free to make modifications to the idea, and enjoy your exploding tipped blow darts, safely.
