I head to my friends at Motech Performance for a Remus exhaust modification and some RP1 EBC pads :-) I also fit some really cool Rimgard wheel locks, a very interesting Swedish brand I had researched online!

The last really gorgeous BMW. I see more upgrades, I click the like button. No but seriously, what is BMW thinking with those new models... Anyways, you did a good thing to buy the M2. These will go up in price mate
*edit: And it's a manual, a rare beast you've got there!
Thanks buddy, yeah their latest design language is very strange... I wish prices would go up, reality is they most certainly wont as anyone could walk into a main dealer and buy a new one at a discounted price.
@@JoeAchilles1 you never know.. yea there are many around, but when they will stop producing m2comp and cs next year, there won't be any m2 produced for two years
Two years owning an m240i and I keep looking at these especially as there are some great deals. Got 2 years left on my PCP and I think the m2c will be next.
I swear my missus uses rim guard in the bedroom
Haha classic!
Good to see you enjoying the M2 Comp -- Night and Day with the mid pipe :) I never get bored of the increased noise just pops a smile on my face especially on lift off...
Sounds great Joe !
It makes you realise how much it adds to the overall experience of a car, I have a 1M with amonst a few other choice mods a full Akrapovic system and it totally transformed the sound of the car.
Really need an m2 in my life 😂
Pro tip : watch series on KaldroStream. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Alan Lennon yup, I have been watching on Kaldrostream for months myself :D
I’ll be honest Joe
I prefer the look of a OEM car as opposed to a blinged up version but I do like your M2 Comp
Cheers man, I love keeping my car as stock looking as possible, no wings etc ;-)
@@JoeAchilles1 Wingist!
Wow an S55 that actually sounds good! 😮
😂
🤘🏻👌🏻 well done 💪🏻
That sounds as loud as they m140i you had with the Remus was!
Yeah I would say it is now as loud as my pre OPF M140 with a Remus!
I just fitted Rimgards to my new M2C with jet black wheels - looks great. Thanks Joe!
Finallyyyy! Love seeing your M2 videos Joe. Keep them coming mate! Loving your content 👍🏼
Cheers man, yeah apologies for being a little quiet of late on the M2 front!
Joe Achilles haha no worries I know how busy you must be, I’m loving the new channel too. M2 sounds awesome now! Can you legally take the OPF’s out in the UK or must they stay in for MOT regs?
Hi Joe! It looks to me that we are of the same kind. I went from M135i to Subaru BRZ and ended up in my beloved M2.
I have Remus exhaust, thin alcantara steering wheel, I love driving and I am trying to make videos sometime :-) . Thank you for all your amazing videos you have made! I enjoy them very much! Greetings from Czech Republic! Pavel
Rimgard looks quality. M2 Comp keeps on improving. Great your still loving it Joe
Cheers buddy, yeah over the moon with the Rimgards :-)
The exhaust sounds the way it should without too much , those lock wheel nut protectors make a lot of sense too , excellent mods
Well ... I have to admit it sounds really good - if you don’t drive a Mustang GT (manual of course 😉)
This was fun to watch, you should do more like these...
Good to have a catch up on M2. Exhaust sounds how it should now.👍👍 Reckon it would be great to get Mike from Motech on car chat channel where you could go through some of the mods they do and how much the cost is. Could review what you have done and has it been worth it. Maybe a discount code? Quality content as usual.
Good idea 🙌🏼
Nice to see that you made new mods. Engine light still on ? Did have already resolve it?
Best regards Joel BMW M2C Portugal
I was going to do downpipes for my first mod but now because of this video i kinda wanna do res delete and remus axle back first
Defo a good starting mod bud.
Sounds great, interested to head more on the pads over time! My 140 wheels got nicked very recently, so that product makes sense (I thought wheel theft was a thing of the past but hey)
Great vid bud .. sounds great , rim locks look great too , fit and finish was great too !
Cheers buddy, great to see you guys as always! love the sound and the stopping power of my car now :-)
It sounds sooooo good.👌🏽 love the M2 Comp. Such a beautiful and badass machine.
Awesome video as always Joe... your cameraman robbed us a bit when y’all guys were explaining the exhaust setup at the beginning of the video 🤦🏿♂️
Yeah that was my fault, I told him to film us and not the exhaust, I was meant to then film the exhaust more and have better overlays, I forgot 🤦🏻♂️🤷♂️👊
13:40 Joe, Dan here. I put up with squealing Brembo brakes on my Fiat Coupe turbo for years and it’s a pain in the arse 😆
Those Rim Guards actually make the wheels look better/cleaner 👌
Joe, this is great news all round. This gives me hope, that the resonator delete, will have the same results on the M5 Competition ?, that is also plagued with the OPFs, as you know. Will give Mike a ring, and see if there is a delete pipe for the M5. Thanks for the info, regards, Simon.
Charlotte Hutchinson we do bud , drop us a line 01604 810000
@@MotechPerformance Thanks Mike for the reply. I spoke to you on the phone in early May about a Remus for my M5 Comp, but ive since sold that car to move house. Im about to buy another, so will probably be in touch again, regards, Simon.
What a great sound as you pulled away in the wet. You must be chuffed. Good for you Joe 👍🏾
Thanks James, really happy with the cars volume now :-)
I’ve been pretty happy with my stock M340i exhaust but seeing your video has given me some thought about upgrades 🤫
Great video Joe! Nice to see an update on the M2 Comp - Big fan of that new exhaust setup, sounds great. Also amazed at how much traction that thing pulls from the road despite our awful weather conditions. I suppose that is why you invest in a good set of Michelin's!
Sounds great Joe!
So I have a BMW E93 M3. I have been debating with myself if I should trade the older M3 for a M2 competition. But damn that V8 is amazing. The car is so fun to drive.
brilliant video buddy 👌 it sounds so good!
Thumbs up for the Rimgards... Not seen those before.
Coming from someone who has had there wheels stolen, I think that’s the best idea tbh. I tried even putting multi locking nuts, didn’t help.
I'm sorry to hear that but good feedback thank you 👌
Those rimgards look like a top quality product. If I had rims worth stealing I’d buy a set😜
They really are, I genuinely wasn't expecting them to be so well made, beautiful bits of kit!
I PITY THE FUEL 😂 need a sticker. Please tell me there are stickers.
Auto blipper 👍🏻👍🏻
Rimgard is like the alpina alloys centre plate with the lock and key 😀
Yes lad the tone is just right🔥
Any issues with the exhaust modifications when it comes to warranty? I have my M2C on PCP with BMW Finance and not sure if I can even pull the trigger on the Remus exhaust.
Wondering this myself on PCP. Never had a car on PCP but considering it & wondered about mods etc.
Don’t think about it m8. Ask Rickey from llf bro
@@tsholohelojrkeagaelejwe7601 Are you telling me not to get a car on PCP?
@@MrDJLeeE depends how drastic of a mod your doing, also if you buy a exhaust you could just keep the original and put it back on when you want to give the car back then eBay the exhaust
Any modification (small or big, visual or performance, permanent/reversible) will breach the terms of the finance/PCP agreement and so you will be asked to pay the full amount of the finance outstanding if BMW/finance company find out. Don’t breach the terms of your agreement - not worth the potential hassle
Great video Joe, steering locks are more important now than ever though. With all the keyless entry thefts the thieves still don't factor in cutting off a steering lock once they get in and get it started. They just go to the next poor sod who hasn't got one. I use mine every night, takes 10 seconds to put on and take off.
Yeah totally agree mate, I always avoid keyless entry on my cars (impossible on the 7 of course). I get how valuable the wheel locks are, but just couldn't deal with one rolling around the cabin on every drive 😉
Dream car, great video, great bloke 🙂
Steve Lane thanks 😜
Haha thanks Steve 👌
@@MotechPerformance cracking job... what a sound! Will have a look at your products... have an i30N; car is fantastic but potentially interested in upgrading the brakes!
@@JoeAchilles1 totally deserved!
Steve Lane ok bud happy to help
Great video as always mate
Joe! Did you notice a big difference when you had your midpipe installet? The "A-pipe" Just ordered mine with the midpipe aswell, thats why im wondering.
Can you give some insight into why you chose the Remus. Did you look at any of the other setups... Eisenmann, Tubi, Miltek, Akra etc?
Tune that b58!!!
It's a S55 😉 Car is less than a year old and in the public eye, it would be too risky doing any kind of engine tune, I also believe 410bhp in a manual rwd car is more than enough in the UK
@@JoeAchilles1 i dont know nothing about BMW 😅, any plans in the future for a project car?
I took my M2 to Phantom Tuning in Bedford (they’re in Kent to). The car is like a rocket ship now. Shame the weather is so bad now I can’t enjoy it.
Can that link pipe be fitted to the standard exhaust and unleash some of the character back in to the exhaust sound (by character, I mean of course the pops and bangs lol)
Matthew Coleman no bud only lines up to the Remus rear
@@MotechPerformance Sounds like there's a gap in the market for Motech to develop their own to fit the stock exhaust then?.... :-)
Matthew Coleman 😉😉
Have you done an everyday driver review of the M2 like you did with the 1 series? As in mountain bike fitting in the back etc
I watch all you videos on your m2 comp if I’m honest it’s what convinced me to get one over the rs3. I’ve done a lot of upgrades similar to your self have you or would you ever get a tuning box like the one race chip have made for the m2 comp for the extra power ?
Hi Joe! Love your videos I’ve got an M2C just wondering what your winter setup will be like this year? I love the OEM wheels but can’t find much info on winter tyres for them.
That Achilles Car chatter channel sounds interesting.... ;-)
Newton Blossomville, near me 👍 I do those country roads to work everyday. Wish it was in an M2 not a mind numbing diesel!
Only issue I can see is you lose the exhaust crossover with the resonator delete. This can reduce power and torque in some cases. I wonder if anyone sells an H or X crossover resonator delete section?
Joe your car is sick!!!!👌💪😉🙄
Another great upgrades congrats...
Hey Joe! That M2 is a stunner! When can I test it??👊😁
Joe, how do you feel about the M3 and M4? How do they compare to your M2?
Do any of those upgrades void your guarantee? I have an M4 Comp coming to the end of its warranty and think about some spacers and a few other bits but I'm also in two minds wether to extend the warranty?
Asked my BMW garage about this... spacers will void your differential warranty as you've widened the rear track. Springs will obviously void your suspension warranty also.
@@moleBRUV cool thanks for this. So long as the more expensive bits are covered like engine and gearbox I think it's worth doing.
I also find it odd because berry bmw send their cars to motech for some mods so it's a bit annoying that a dealer will do it, but if we do it after it voids the warranty.
Ellis Shepherd it’s still at the dealer’s discretion (some are more anal than others) so don’t take my word for it but that’s what I was told. Maybe ask them at your next service (ask to speak to the mechanic working on the car, not the service reps as they won’t know what you’re talking about) to double check 👍🏼
Curious to hear your thoughts, I have a M235i right now, but I'd love a M2 Comp.
Right now the 235 is PCPd at 320/mo (in positive equity too!), and the cost of an optioned up M2C is about 600/mo & 11k down.
Do you think it's worth the extra money? Would you keep the 235 or is it really that big of a step up?
After all, it was your videos on the M-lites that helped me make the decision to pick the 235 up. Finding it incredibly difficult to even get a test drive due to my age (most places don't cover under 25s for M cars unfortunately), so any additional thoughts with the consideration of owning a 235 would be great. Thanks!
Keep the 235 till your really bored of it and then get something completely different. m2 will be different but only when you are really pushing it
Hello Joe, sadly I had the wheels of my BMW m340i stolen recently. Are these rimgards wheel locks available in UK? Went to their site and there’s no UK shipping option..
Love the car I have mine as well 2020 white, love very much, looking for some mods
Hey man - do you know of anyone who can still fit the Awron gauges in the Birmingham area?
Great to see the m2 on the road again in a video - more please!! Cheers
Have you considered the akrapovic downpipes with opf support for S55?
Can you snyc the climate controls in the M140i just off topic. Thanks
Wondering what will happen if a catless downpipe is installed, and the resonator and oem exhaust are retained. Will it be too loud?
Hi Joe! Great video! Do they sell that resonator removal pipe in Canada?
Yan Frank yep bud speak to Michael in the Remus US office
Hi Joe, what material are the wheel guards made from? They look nice quality but hard to tell from video.
Hey buddy, check out Rimgard.com for more details on them, use "ACHILLES25" to get €25 off a set of you decide to buy them. Cheers
To bad the brake calipers still change colour when you brake hard sometimes.
Lots of m3's that go on the track have this issue.
Joe have you got the car coded or will you? Also have you got active sound turned off?
Car sounds 100% better.
Anyone know what the rimguard weighs? Great idea, but not keen about adding un-sprung weight to the wheel
Does the exhaust breach track sound levels?
I would love to Remus my M140i, but its financed so I think BMW would pull my strides down and spank my bare arse whilst demanding I pay in full and taking my left kidney!
I can hear a bit of overrun rumble in sport mode, despite the OPF's (mine being the last from the factory 19 plate).
Would also love to fit those M2 comp seats.
I love my M2 S2. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Interested in the Remus race axle back system for my M2C but I am concerned about the check engine lights coming on. Is this still a problem? And if so are there any fixes?
I have had those lights come on a couple of times over the past 6k miles, there is a hardware fix now but you will need to research onlinem the exhaust makes a huge difference
if your looking at just the Axel back their shouldn't be a problem, its when you start to play with OPF's that its starts acting up but there are now solutions for this to! so you can now have a full catback too with out a problem.
Changed too the Remus axle back about 13.000 miles ago.
no problem with check engine light not even once.
Can these sort of mods be done @ BMW as well or is this only a private expert type of job? Great video as always btw.
BMW wont do any exhaust mods anymore due to German emission laws etc... Pads are fairly easy to fit in reality. Rimgards take 10 mins to fit
Should have kept that slide going in the beginning dude
Joe u want a chillie brother
My anti-theft measure for my M2 is to scratch all my wheels... sigh... at least that's what I told myself when that happened
What if the key breaks and it stays in the lock? 😒
What a question... What if the key breaks in your front door (that you use every day) and it stays in the lock....?
@@JoeAchilles1 A lock smith comes with a drill and opens your door and replaces your lock but with Rim gard once everything is locked even a drill cant penetrate it hence why I am asking what do you do when you put everything together and the key breaks within the keyhole? (Very unlikely but just a what if moment)
I’ve always had to remove the wheel to get the centre cap out without risking damaging the wheel face. Is their a way to do it with the wheel still attached?
What about applying some sticky tape. Then use the loose ends as "handles" and pull that thing out...
I use a very very thin watch battery flat head screw driver, thankfully the Rimgards have a grove to allow you to remove easily now
Joe Achilles might give it a go next time. Save me a hell of a lot of time! Thanks
Volker True the way they ‘pop’ in I’m not sure there would be sticky tape strong enough but I’ll give it a shot next time.
Is the M performance Exhaust louder?❗️
There isn't a M performance exhaust for the Comp
There is only in North America
Rim guard - Good product how much are they?
They vary depending on the car, check their website link in description
Hey Joe, please may I ask if you have a spare few minutes to reply and get chance to read this message! What are your honest opinion on the new BMW 1 series m sport 118i auto box? I'm trying to decide between that and a vw Tiguan r line tech DSG 150HP! Totally different cars which is a bit odd! I test drove the new 118i in manual and I was impressed it was surprisingly nippy, got up to 70mph really quite effortlessly! Yea I really appreciate your opinion and videos etc so yes would be great if you have time to get your opinion. Thanks thanks
Mate I did I video about it two videos ago....
@@JoeAchilles1 of course sorry yea I did watch it was very good. Just not sure thought I'd ask if you had any other opinion on it that you didn't get chance to say in the video, I'm really considering the parking pack of I get the car because the reverse assist, it looks great how you demonstrated it! If I get the BMW it'll be because your channel and you because how good your content is!
Oh yes also, not sure what you think, but I definatly feel at least in the demo car I test drove, the 0-60 time and the HP is faster than 8.5secs and 138HP 130mph! In usual BMW style under estimating, as you've noted many times before.
Does Any1 know if this will cause any sensors to go nuts.. getting the cat back Remus fitted next month but want the Res delete also ? Nice video again Joe & Mike 👍🏻
Yes you will 100% , the change in back pressure triggers the sensors on the OPF and you get a CEL. Clear it and your good to go for another 1k miles before it's on again!
@@silentkhan3308 how would I clear it ?
@@scottfromengland2303 I use a Vgate OBD tool and an app on Android. Bear in mind along with CEL you will likely get limp mode, when clearing you will need to take it out for a good blast before you get the power back again. I'm getting mine tuned as it's getting annoying now.
I hope you realize that it's not the OPF that limits the sounds on the exhausts. The OPF is there for emissions and does little to the sound of a catted car. It's the silencers for the noise regulations that restrain the exhaust volume. In so many videos you are (wrongly) commenting on the OPF...
Okay mate whatever you believe! Start your own channel and share your wisdom 👌
@@JoeAchilles1 well I do work on automotive engineering and development, but I'm certainly not a CZcamsr. I just suggested a simple fix to the presentation of the facts. Otherwise your content couldn't be more on point! keep it up!
i love your car man
Cheers Nick, I feel very fortunate owning and driving it :-)
Joe Achilles i will have one as my second car for sure man M2 or M2 Comp
I see you guys pointing. Lots of pointing. No idea where you are pointing..... (referring to the exhaust explanation portion)
please switch the ASD off...
I think bmw should recall all m2’s and re trim the back seats! Absolutely pony
remove the opf
