The best money you can spend (if you want to be quick) is driver training. Start off slow and increase your speed slowly. Never overdrive the car! If you want to be fast, drive smoothly. Shame Joe, haven’t got my new Elise yet otherwise I’d love to have joined you.
Pro driver training is amazing and 💯 recommended (just like I've said in a few recent track day videos). But during these times it's impossible so a good set of Cup 2's is where it's at.
Joe Achilles Apologies Joe, Wasn’t thinking 💭 I was meant to be attending a driver training day on Sunday 7th June at Lotus in Hethel. Just got cancelled due to this nonsense. 😢
Hey Joe, I am very envious of you having such a great group of BMW mates! I very much look forward to your next couple of videos. I hope to SCCA autocross my 2020 soon, empty movie theater parking lots here in nowheresville Pennsylvania isn't cutting it anymore..
I’d throughly recommend swapping out the brake lines for braided, my preference are HEL, and do a full fluid change for some Super Dot 4. This will complement all your upgrades perfectly. Not an expensive job either, pretty simple to do.
Tyres are the most important upgrade to any car..... got MP4Ss on my M2 OG and have just booked Ascari for the 4th of July! Hopefully itll be a great day. Enjoy Snerterton!
Hi Joe! Awesome car and vid as usual. Maybe it would be cool, now that you can measure your 0-60 times that you put hem in some sort of excel type file, so everyone can see your times with every car you tested! Keep up the good quarantine work 👍
Your *M2* look's great mate 👍🏻 I have to say I miss a Manual Gearbox, the slip of the clutch when you wanna rev the engine in a tunnel etc, the engagement with it, I have to opt for the 8 speed paddles etc because of the misses in the M140 but I would change it if I could, im the same with driving the Beemer recently too mate in mine still puts a smile on my face every time I get inside it 😎 mines also had some work done & thx to Adrian Flux I could get Insurance lol as after a few upgrades some insurance's didn't want to know. But I agree with the weather the way it is it's making driving fantastic in the evening's 😀
Blimey Joe, stop making me want to spend money!. Looking forward to the track day footage. Track days are now restarting here in Sydney at Eastern Creek. Stay well mate
Well done again Joe, it does finally feel like we are coming out of the other side of Covid. We have our first event at Wanneroo in Western Australia 21st June. I am interested to know what tyre pressures you run (hot) for the track? I find my M2 responds to a higher pressure than expected. Stay safe Mate, Mark
I wanna give the Cup 2’s a go on a few of my cars and Joe I totally agree, can’t beat a manual car for driver engagement. Yes you can go faster easier with an auto for sure but I’d take the manual like you 👍👍
What really caught my attention on this video was the sound of the exhaust. Was it a new mic on the camera or a new sound setting? The car is obviously pleasing to watch but the exhaust note at start-up and under load is intoxicating. Did you mention the new set of cup 2s and how good they are?😉 In all seriousness, it is good to have your expert feedback on those tires vs. the PS4s, performance-wise, and feeling wise. Can't wait to see the next video with the 1M test drive (maybe in a dedicated video?).
Tyres make such a huge difference. I have a 330D M Sport and changes the tyres from run flats to Michelin Pilot Sport 4s and its as if a completely different car. Joe, have you ever considered having a remap? Would be interested to hear your view on this. Great video.
Joe, did u consider changing your tire size (perhaps 275's rear) & are u looking to do a future ECU HP tune upgrade/update (if u haven't already). I've been considering the Dinan stage1 tune for my comp. Thx for sharing the M2C material. Any thoughts on the new M4 (lol)? Holy nostrils batman...
Those pulls at 14:18 and 14:27 really remind me of the sound of the E46 M3 somehow (or how an M car should sound like). Completely different from the fake sound in the new M340i for example (ok that's a different engine as well).
That’s the thing, these autos are brilliant, but you can’t make them sound good at low speed setting off, or pulling out of a parking space etc!! Childish I know, but Lamborghinis, Ferrari’s and the like just look silly with their brake lights releasing and moving around on tick over! Anyway, those tyres look great Joe - makes the track day a tad pricey but yeah, they’re good and mediocre tyres can ruin the 2nd half of a track day! Looking forward to the next video.
I’d be interested to see what your tyres are like, running PS4S’s on my Lexus ISF and I get the same traits you’re referring too. Managed a 4.42 on dragy box with them, no tcs on.
great clip im as sad as you i`m away`s going on about tires iv`e said to people they really are the best upgrade you can do to your car.I know your bit of a michelin man and i`m not talking about his shape more taste in tyre`s i hear michelin pilot 5 & 5s are due out soon any idea`s on that? as i`m not a 100% sure if the new`s is correct if so please get them and do a review on them
I think manual gearbox doesn’t make it faster, i understand the enthusiasts will not agree but auto suits better this car,just my opinion,otherwise fantastic content like always
Thankfully it hasn't effected me and I don't know enough about the issue to make a video. As far as I've heard they have honoured all warranty issues and the S55 is about to go out of production, let's hope the S58 doesn't have the same potential issues
Damn that is really sitting low, looks awesome great choice of wheels (love the black weights) and the tires are a great choice...had something similar on a Renault Turbo R5 with the middle engine 😎 damn but they only lasted 8000km 😂 awesome BMW like that kit for lap time
@@JoeAchilles1 yeah indirectly selling cars by reviewing them, had a good 2.5 years with my 140 😂🖒now have a cheap MX5 as I missed proper steering feedback
Thanks for watching, hope you're all well and looking forward to some more freedom over the coming months... See you at the next video, stay safe!
Best way to make it faster is to put more M badges on it, naturally
Loved the video. 100% agree, nothing is more engaging than manual. Your car sounds awesome!
The best money you can spend (if you want to be quick) is driver training. Start off slow and increase your speed slowly.
Never overdrive the car! If you want to be fast, drive smoothly. Shame Joe, haven’t got my new Elise yet otherwise I’d love to have joined you.
Always a good tip, invest in yourself!

Black chrome is a good explanation for the colour of the lovely Remus exhaust tips! :)
Pleaze dont stop
You are the best
Snetterton looks an awesome track from the BTCC races.
Well joe you have converted me to buying an m2 competition. Love the channel and content.
That old car at the end was awesome 😂
They need to make an M2 competition CSL.

great video, Look forward to your trackday
Top Joe, like always 👌
Is the Michelin tyre advert over yet 🙈
It will never be over, they make the best tyres on the planet and I'm lucky enough that they support me, quite simple really.
If he was plugging run flats I'd be concerned 😂. But Michelin do good tyres to be fair 😆
Definitely the best tyre superb grip have them on my GT4 can't wait for the track video Joe.
@@paulbassett1954 swap my 435 for ur GT4 😆

I agree on the black wheel weights. I painted mine with black touch up paint 😂

Great video Joe thanks mate
Good vid Joe! Enjoyed watching it! What a nice car! Would love to meet you one day! I live in north west London
The dragy can do the same thing that cost much less.
Can you talk about the car settings if they’ve changed with the cup2s? Engine mode, suspension and steering?
That sound 👌
Love it 😉👌
Is the rack box available In the uk as clicked on link and it's in dollars
Is it imported ?
Thanks
I’d be interested to see what your tyres are like, running PS4S’s on my Lexus ISF and I get the same traits you’re referring too. Managed a 4.42 on dragy box with them, no tcs on.
Hahah tip talk soon 😉
Can you try record 100-200 times with the racebox
How are the MSS springs doing? Think they'll help on track too?
If you do get a discount on race box then let us know!

Manual will always be slower, said that in 80% of my M2 Comp videos
Joe when will you do a segment on the bmw crank hub issue and why bmw will not do a recall and redesign but 3rd parties are having to

I see a new blacklined tail lights 😍
Stock lights
Joe Achilles Yeah those comes with 2020 models, it is the best rear end look upgrade you could do 🔥💯 looks like a cs👌🏼
Car's looking nice Joe, I do like an M2!
Will you be fitting new exhausts tips to the "front exhaust" at all... or just the rear one? 😜
Nice video Joe, always enjoy your videos buddy. I will be in touch soon about booking you & your "7" for me!
Awesome 😎
Nice car bro
Are the wheel spacers ok to keep fitted on track?
With the racebox can you switch it over to MPH?
You say bad fuel on the m2 but how bad?
Damn that is really sitting low, looks awesome great choice of wheels (love the black weights) and the tires are a great choice...had something similar on a Renault Turbo R5 with the middle engine 😎 damn but they only lasted 8000km 😂 awesome BMW like that kit for lap time
Is there any way to buy these exhaust tips from remus?
They are Motech specific, you can order from Motech and they can post worldwide
I thought he was going to say he sold it and bought a stock RS3
So......”to make the car faster” you fitted new tyres and put some exhaust tips in your boot 🧐😒
I fitted some Cup 2's yes
😂😂 fair
👍🏻 Tidy box.
A grown man defeated by an exhaust tip 🙈
Yep, spent an hour trying to get it off... But you're watching my videos so I'm clearly doing something right 💩

No, it's under warranty and will be gone before it runs out so pointless for me
