Nice to see an automotive KZfaqr who isn’t a fan of obnoxiously loud exhausts.

The M2 looks awesome, you did an excellent job rebuilding it, you should be very proud of yourself for the work you do 👍👍

The M2 was dropped off for MOT after video and will be done Monday 🙌🏼

This has to be have been one of your most challenging projects Dean, virtually every panel had damage. You have done a brilliant job on the rebuild it looks amazing. Hope who ever wins it is able to keep it in one piece! - it sounds like a car that needs a firm hand😃

What a great car. We all know why it was damaged...you have to be an experienced driver to handle this one. These pops and bangs are ridiculous, I would be ashamed to drive it in Sports mode. I would have it removed from the ECU by a tuner. I feel the same as Dean, with that amount of horsepower you need fourwheel drive, much safer. I hope the cash return on the raffle is 10 Pounds, this channel is all about cars, if you buy tickets, you should get the car, not the money. See you in the next one. Have a good weekend!

Great work again! The C63 builds were how i discovered your channel a couple of years ago while trying to sort some bits on my own, been tuned in to every episode since!

Another great series. Loving the whole journey, dont change anything, you're on top of your game fella.

Just binge watched this rebuild and the R8 today! Awesome work Dean!! An absolute pleasure to watch, amazing job.

Very well done. Are you going to go through a breakdown of the costs? I'd be interested to know.

thankyou Dean,,what a great project this has been,youve done an excellent job on this,,👍👏

Hope your really proud of this build Dean, stunning car, love your content, keep up the excellent work pal......

Looks absolutely amazing 👍🏻 you must be well chuffed with how good it’s turned out 🤗

Never really been a bmw lover but definitely wasn't a hater this car looks awesome will be entering the competition but the pops and bangs will have to go they sound ridiculous well done on the build cant wait to see whats next

Great video the car looks awesome and sounds out of this world you have definitely out done yourself this time what a motor 👍👍

Great job on the car looks lovely, could NOT live with that exhaust. 👏

Car looks amazing dean you have dun great job keep up amazing work you do 👍👍

One of your best videos Dean 👍

Fantastic work as always. The M2 competition looks absolutely amazing with the carbon roof and spoiler. Great series, my favourite part was the addition of the carbon roof, it really works well to enhance the overall quality of the aesthetic of the M2 competition. 😊

Them boys at NVM will tune out those pops and tweak the gearbox map. What you have achieved with this car is amazing. I had my doubts but you made replacing a roof look easy. Cannot wait for the GT4S

What an awesome job Dean, fantastic transformation. That said, whoever wins has got to remove the pops and bangs.and maybe even dial it down a little..it's almost too hot!!

Well done Dean, car looks awesome, loved this rebuild, cant wait for next one

Fair play to you pal and you should be well and truly pleased with the work you've put in and the absolutely amazing job you've achieved..... Honestly can't wait to see your next build 💯😁💪👍🔥💣💥💯

What an amazing car. Really enjoyed watching the build on this. ❤

Really nice work looks gorgeous. This is my fav KZfaq channel

Hi Dean great video as usual changing the roof was a game changer well done on an awesome build

Really enjoying the video so far. Nice to see a bmw on the channel. Just a couple of things though, never charge a BMW directly on the battery. There is a positive and negative under the bonnet that you should connect the charger to (you can Google why). And the valvetronic controls valve lift not camshaft position. Cam position is controlled by the vanos gears which in turn are controlled by the vanos solenoids. Thought I’d mention those things in case you have some more BMWs to work on in the future! Car looks amazing by the way, what a transformation. (Just finished the video and just thought I’d add that you’ll need to use diagnostic software to get the DME to relearn the valvetronic postions.)

Absolutely stunning amazing thats perfection as always

Brilliant job, didn’t think it was fixable when we first saw it, very well done Dean! Tickets bought of course

I've really enjoyed this series, keep up the good work!😁

Looks a beast. Great job on fixing it up. Tickets purchased. 👍 look nice on my drive that 😊

You should be very proud of what you’ve done to that M2. Really nice job. Just bought my tickets….. 🤞

Brilliant channel always enjoy your videos 👍🏻

Respect Dean! It started looking hopeless(for me). But the endresult is stunning!!! Very well done! Personally I agree with you about the bangs. Quickly disable them😅 Tickets will be bought obviously as the M2 comp looks amazing in that colour❤️ Keep up mate!

Honestly Dean, research or not I’m constantly impressed at your mechanical ability. There’s me chimping just about having to take the undertray off my GR! 😂😂😂

A pat on the back from me, not seen you smile so much on at test drive ,can understand why your gonna let it go,you need to keep your license great video as always 👏

Hi mate...You have done a brilliant restoration on the M2..Well done..Looks great 👍

Absolutely beautiful car. Awesome job on this as well as all the others too.

If you’re not impressed with a M2 Comp there would need to be something wrong with you. The best M car built in for a long time imo.

Awesome Dean great series on this car, fingers crossed as I've bought some tickets.

Some pop & bang maps will only work after throttle inputs over a certain %, so if you back off from 1/2 or 3/4 throttle it won’t do it only if it’s seen 90% on the pedal within a set timeframe

The one we've all been waiting for🤞

Awesome job Dean well done

Hats off to you Dean. I thought it was too badly damaged. Tickets purchased and let’s hope whoever wins it doesn’t mangle it again because it looks an absolute handful 😂

Have absolutely loved a BMW build. You have done a brilliant job with it. I purchased some tickets earlier today 🤞🙂

Fantastic result, the M2 has come a long way. 👍👍

About 20 years ago I had to replace a Mondeo front wheel bearing on Christmas Eve. I managed to get the part by my regular mechanic was closed obviously. I needed the car back on the road as it was my taxi and therefore my living. Managed to get the old one out whilst it was actually snowing and the forced the new one in with two very well placed sledgehammers. Not conventional but it worked. But never wanted to ever attempt that again. Wheel bearing was fine too 👍🏻 Also entered for both cars fingers 🤞🏻

What a great job you have done dean. Been wanting one of these for years. Bought tickets for the first time.

i thought this one was beyond repair you proved me wrong give your self a pat on the back great job. would love to enter for that one but iam outside of the uk.

Kudus to you Dean, I thought you had bitten off more than you could chew! An EPIC rebuild! Congratulations 👏😎👌

Wow the noise from that watch you don’t get an asbo 😂😂looks amazing and sounds tremendous 👊🏻👍🏽👍🏽

Stunning motor Dean, you wouldn't think it would have turned out so stunning given how it was, Well done Dean.👍

Mega job Dean, this looks so so good and I am 100% buying tickets to hopefully win it! 🙏🏼😂 I want to get one of these to replace my M135i with the 3.0 N55 engine.. And believe it or not, I currently have a valvetronic fault on mine too! Very common on modern BM’s from what I’ve been told.

Love the snare drum hits on the overrun

amazing finish from start to finish

What a cool looking car ❤ Outstanding job 🫡🙏

Great video thanks

quite agree dean peope who go in for the raffle should be going for the car and not a cash alternative keep up the good work

My Smart Forfour has the same noise when I turn the ignition on. That clicking.

Looks absolutely epic. Well done. What a job. Tickets bought 👍

It’s amazing how long your eyes were off the road trying to adjust settings. Something we all take for granted but surprising no less.

Cracking car Dean, I think you are doing the right thing in selling it - keep it up.

Brilliant car, always always always wanted one of these

Hope someone like myself who needs it wins it... 🙏 I enjoyed the journey 👍 I might enter anyway but I have entered many of these sort of thing before but still been happy to see the handover especially when it's not someone with alot of money.. Great work !

Brilliant work Dean, and i'm glad its not just me that drops bolts into the engine bay giving a whole headeache to retrieve :)

To answer your question, I watched the video (first half). From my own perspective I thought the work was nearing completion just needing paint so much of the most interesting content was already covered. Some KZfaqrs talk about prices and costs which increases interest but I wasn't expecting that here.

A great series Dean. Difficult to say, but probably the roof strip and rebuild was a highlight for me 🤷‍♂️

perfect build

The M2 looks awesome, great job also sounds awesome

Bloody good job. Looks mint

Great job Dean 👍

Looks fantastic 😊

Fantastic result, Dean. Top marks.

Looks great mate

The eye roll that you gave the camera one the first pops and bangs was brilliant 😂Good job on the car Dean, fingers crossed for the competion!

Tickets bought for this. Nice one Dean and thanks for giving us the chance to win it.

What a car! Nice job buddy.

Really enjoy your content keep them coming. Tickets purchased woop !

That is really a beast off a car !! You did fantastic remake and it is looking perfect again ! Unfortunately i cant join the raffle because what can i do with a right hand driving car in on the Continent....... but wish you a great raffle and hopefully somebody is winning this super BMW !!!

Been one of my favourite cars you've repaired 👌

Superb series as usual and well done Dean. Love to win it but at my age what the hell would I do with it, so good luck to all you folks!!! Cheers, Bob

nice 1 Dean !!!

More or less on 20000 miles i had the same problem with the vanos solinode on my 2016 M135i. Unfortunetly the excentric shaft was also damaged, it seems the two things go hand in hand. My local dealership gave me a price of £2400 for parts alone. Even though it was 1 year out of warranty BMW agreed to pay for the whole repair so it seems pretty clear its a known issue but they would not admit that but fair play too them for doing it for free i suppose.

Wonderful job Dean should be proud of yourself

Great job.

15:46 Yea that's the time when I just say "Sod it!" (I'm not from the UK but I thought I'd use a vernacular you would know LOL) and drive to BMW and buy another bolt and not go hunting for the old one underneath LOL.

You deserve a pat on the back for the effort you’ve put into this dean. Most people would have walked away from that. I’ve got my tickets. All the best. 😊

Stunning car, looks lovely in white! You've done an excellent job on this! Got my tickets and will have fingers and toes crossed :D

Very nice job, dean well done. Still prefer the focus RS but "it'll do" !!!!! Best wishes , Ben 🇬🇧🇺🇦🚌🚐

Great work! White cars are tricky to color match. With that said, the driver’s side door seems to be off a bit.

14:32 I was sat here saying "that's upside down"!🤣

Unbeleveble!!!! Very very nice how You repared the car, I hope you win a litle bid of money because you deserve it!!! Greetz from the Netherlands , ramon

Hi Dean. This M2 is Beautiful bro. There's a fair bit of damage done too it. Nice job on the Roof lol. This job is a Credit too you. Keep it up bro. 😅😅

Morning Dean, Saturday morning I'm watch this and think I might just have to put a direct debit to you 😂😂, got my tickets again 😂good job I'm single the ex would have gone mental money I'm spending on your competition's 😂have a great weekend

So great your videos Dean and what an epic car. I would love to buy tickets but unfortunately I cant from Germany.

Great job, mint that now
