@@JoeAchilles1 I only watched the end of the video (conclusion), but it seems you fitted a shorter (maybe original) gear stick instead of the longer CAE? I personally think a shorter gearstick (like the standard fiited on M2) gives you more feeling and accuracy on shifting and feeling in which gear you are, but could be a personal thing?

@buffectomorph9657 Ай бұрын

My E46 has been sitting in my garage over 5 years now... My E90 transmission transmission died on me... And I've been working towards an M2 Comp for years now. So happy for you to have your car back, Joe. I hope to enjoy that feeling soon too!

Congratulations on getting your M2 back on the road, Joe! I was really surprised to see Fabian stick the engine mount bolt into the rattle gun and blast it in. I always like to start bolts by hand to make sure they don't get cross threaded. But maybe I'm paranoid and it's not as easy to do as I think.

A lot of people won’t get to see these parts of the engine, how it all goes together etc. That moment when the engine starts for the first time after a big rebuild is really difficult to replicate, so many won’t quite understand the level of jubilation!

Fantastic to the M2 back, it’s my personal favourite! Still watching the video. Just wanted to say I think I’ve also managed to get a deal from the Berry BMW? Not from Tony but one of his colleagues. Believe it or not I’m from Aberdeen but they had the best deal, so I’ll be travelling down for my wife’s new car hopefully. We don’t have huge budgets but me and the wife will then have a 2017 M240i and her 2023 M235i - for us that’s a mega garage! Keep up the content Joe, especially M2! Love it 👍
