Thinking of spending for a Mikuni 42 carb
2002 M2 have gone thru 2 of the stock carbs.
Or should I just rebuild stock carb again ??

Over 70k miles on my 1998 CV carb without a single issue. What the hell are you doing to kill 2 of them?

I got a mikuni 42 for my 99 M2 several years ago, gives slightly better throttle response but that's about it. With hindsight I could think of better performance mods to spend the money on.

I think tuning the carb has as much to do with it as what one you use. Something must be wrong with your setup, what is going wrong??

I prefer the Mikuni 42 over the CV (even with a Dynojet kit). In addition to better throttle response, I also experienced much improved fuel mileage.

the longer you wait the longer you will regret not acting sooner. all kinds of stories about kehein, how many have you heard about going back to kehein from a mikuni?

get a dyno tune with it and you will be wishing you did it sooner! I waited too long.
