As an owner of a 2018 LBB M2 w/ Manual with similar tasteful mods, I'm excited to try this car out later this season when I head to Europe from the states.
beautiful car misha and beautiful addition! in terms of the "crank hub" non sense, ive heard that was only pron on the M2 COMP S55 engine. The N55 were relatively reliable/ correct me if im wrong :)
Yeah, I think the same 👍🏼 The M3/M4 is to big for a real sports car. Okay, the weight of the M2 is high too, but I think it's more nimble and agile 😊 Love from Berlin, Ramsi 🙋🏻♂️
Very good looking M2. Although I agree with the absence of cooling problems (in regards of oil and coolant), the stock intercooler does produce very high intake air temperatures when pushing it, often setting back ignition timing (in its turn making the car slower). A larger intercooler would be highly recommended. Just my 2 cents. Furthermore, great content!
This 100%. I think for doing a lap or two at a time, the oem cooling might be ok for them. That said for a track day, anything over 70F/21C ambient temp, these cars pull timing pretty bad. I was nearly 6-7 seconds slower on a 2.5 mile circuit when timing would get pulled.
thank you so much misha for bringing all this content to us every day. you’ve made me fall in love with this track and studying every lap you post. 😂 been watching every day for months now i am hoping to come one day. i have been playing sim nordschleife every day and i love it i really cant wait to take a taxi and drive myself one day.
Great job George. This car looks set to hit the track in a few weeks' time. Interesting to learn of the M2 not requiring any cooling mods over stock standard on such a challenging track as the Nurburgring/Nordschleife.😎🇦🇺👍
long beach blue is the most beautiful blue color in automotive history. if there wont be any individual program for the G87, i will definetly bring it to a paintshop for LBB makeover
The new CR'S Nankangs are awesome, running 265 18s in my wifes 510rwhp FD RX7, now they are the first 'semi' (not semi lol) tyre ive used but in out Superlap here in NZ, in Street Class, im beating more track oriented cars (while not running closer to 480 rwhp) that should be faster and are running the AR1s. Love the M2, gorgeous car, would love to drive one.
I thought that for the harnesses to be street legal it was mandatory to have a push button to unlock them, not a twist knob (that you usually have on 5 points harnesses) but if you had a push button on a 5 points harness it was OK.
I hope you keep it long enough for me to drive it. I can't make it to Europe this year. As an owner of a LBB 2017 M2 there is no other car I want to drive around the Ring.
I’m planning a trip for my 40th to Germany and have been looking in to renting an m2 for some laps at the ring. I tried your link but didn’t see a way to book. Is this still available to rent? I would be coming in a little less than 2 years from now. Planning ahead so I can do Oktoberfest in Munich as well.
Just saying, my Beetle is stock power and constantly running into approx. 140 degrees after 1,5 laps, latest. I know, it is no track car but more fun to drive than one would expect. Anyway, I’m going to fix that this year. Most likely even just around the corner in the Rudolf-Diesel-Straße.
As a younger guy with much less cash I do wonder are the less powerful 2 series coupes as good to drive relative to the power difference? Or are the non-M cars way too soft for sportyish driving on the street?
For all lassy people like me ther are prices listed in the link in the description. I hawe just one aditional qestion. Becose the wify thing will take care of the dog do we get the instructor with the car. Or it's just the rent of the car at Apex house on the spot, drive to Nordschleife, do the lap return the car???
I think the German State and Nurburgring should update their safety protocols. Four point harnesses, no HANS. This is a bit dangerous. Motorsport is giving us solutions. Keep up. Finaly, I love Racetech seats, because they are comfortable and come in different sizes. Are they allowed?
I'm going to drive from Norway to the Nürburgring for my first time this summer with my audi rs3! Really looking forward to it! Is it better to get there right when it opens or later in the day? Or is there any specific day where there are less cars on the track?
@@adrianhh Do check the calendar tho! On weekdays it usually only opens for TF around 17h15-17h30 till about 19h as the trackmarshalls are mainly volunteers who help out after their dayjob.
does anyone know if the rear seat delete carpet is from stern performance? i've heard mixed opinions on its fitting, as im looking to buy it from them + the net
BTW is ther any info for the deposit for diferent cars ? In 2011 i had to hawe around 7.000€ on my card for VW Schiroco GTI, SUZUKI Swift was much cheper depozit but i hardly doubth i will hit 220km/h with it on diferent part of the track...
@Franzino I'm referring to 2:38 when he talks about crankhub upgrade on s55 motors. Doesn't take a genius to figure out the m2 in the video is a non comp n55 m2
M2 LCI is a such Beautiful car! N55 has actually the best F8X engine sound!!!
As and OG M2 owner, I agreee wholeheartedly
I’ve heard some arguments that it’s even stronger than the N55… slower, but stronger! Lol

I was there 13-14-15 february at apex. Thanks for helping us George!
Love George’s calm manner. Such a diamond geezer

Awesome! Can't wait to drive it in a few weeks on the Nürburgring!
That is absolutely gorgeous. Amazing work!
Wooow looking fantastic!! 🎉
Awesome attention to detail combining that beautiful M2 blue with silver stickers and wheels 😊 Lovely ❤
What a lovely piece of kit. The perfect Nordschleife car

Such a beatifull M2, well done team!
Just got a M2 for track with and daily driving, can’t wait!
This is my track/daily set up since 2016 :)
Just out here being first
But will you be the first one to drive it?
@@mgcharoudin probably not 🤣
#TierOne
😂

A little advertising before the season doesn't hurt... ;-)
Such a nice car, looks like so much fun to drive!
Dream car, really hope I'll be able to give it a go this summer

Such a pretty car 😍
Interesting comments about the down sides of manual transmissions.
All the car you could ever need for the track realistically.
Mmmm very shiny 😂 The upgrades made it look mean. Very nice car. 🔥
Good video
Good comment
@George: Sure it is 9.5J, not 10? If 9.5, it is offset 25.
I hope you keep it long enough for me to drive it. I can't make it to Europe this year. As an owner of a LBB 2017 M2 there is no other car I want to drive around the Ring.
I booked the M2 and the GTI on May 27th and im so excited to Drive them💥
🔥🔥🔥
My next visit isn’t till July, ugh. I’ll reserve soon.

The M2 is just a great little track weapon proven in the Nurburgring. I’m very proud to own this exact spec minus the DCT. 6 speed gang here 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💙💙💙
HERMOSO coche. Un 10. Abrazo grande desde Uruguay .

Nice colour.😁
what is the manufacturer of the wheels studs conversion please? I don't get the brand.
The Recaro Pole has street legal homologation for M2? Regards!
Car looks super clean..... for now 😂😂

The M235/240’s are pretty solid but below that price u can better get a older 3 series like E36
I’ve owned both an M2 and M240i and if you get a 240, good tires and an LSD on the M240i you’ll have a blast.
Where were the studs bought from? Could't understand the name he said...
For all lassy people like me ther are prices listed in the link in the description.
I hawe just one aditional qestion.
Becose the wify thing will take care of the dog do we get the instructor with the car.
Or it's just the rent of the car at Apex house on the spot, drive to Nordschleife, do the lap return the car???
First lap an instructor will join you, second lap you can take the wify (minus the dog) for the lap
@@mgcharoudin I remember someone lapping the Ring with a puppet. 🥰
Any installation tips for the MA-46Bs or is it straightforward and they dont squeal as much as the N39s?
I’m purchasing a new G87 M2 what engine oil and weight are you using in your cars for all the Nuremberg ring driving at High speed high rpm use
Weight?
I think the German State and Nurburgring should update their safety protocols. Four point harnesses, no HANS. This is a bit dangerous. Motorsport is giving us solutions. Keep up. Finaly, I love Racetech seats, because they are comfortable and come in different sizes. Are they allowed?
Need to be in the papers

During the week is better with less traffic. Weekends have been crazy busy last year.
And the second part of the day sometines is less busy
@@TheTechnoaddict Awesome, thank you!! I'll make sure to not be there during a weekend then.
@@adrianhh Do check the calendar tho! On weekdays it usually only opens for TF around 17h15-17h30 till about 19h as the trackmarshalls are mainly volunteers who help out after their dayjob.
@@adrianhh weekends are fun for carspotting and maybe get some passenger laps.

Has it got standard charge pipe ? 🤔
One day the standard charge pipe will break....mine broke at the ring :(
BTW is ther any info for the deposit for diferent cars ?

We don't do deposits, just cc copy
@@mgcharoudin cc copy ? What that means ?
@@Archer28M copy of your credit card
in my opinion the M/T cars are the ones that need the crank mod because clutch kicks can be violent
Doesn’t need crankhub, as it isn’t a S55 engine.
@@SeanSer its like you didn't read my comment
M2 or RS3 are my top 2 dream cars, but I guess for track use RS3 is nowhere near M2.
You're right
This is great value, I have the exact same car and a lap in that will cost you 30'000 euro.
😉
What do you thing about your jrz suspension ?
Wait so m2s manual trans is bad?
Any manual is challenging for today's average driver
@@mgcharoudin 😳😁👍
@@mgcharoudin makes sense from a business standpoint
Hoop dat de M2 dit seizoen een keer schade vrij blijft.
Square setup?
Yes
what front lip is that?
An unavailable one🤣 jk idk
You really want to know ?
🤑
😁
it looks like GTS front lip, replica of the one they use for M4 GTS (F82), without the bottom splitter, its a 2 piece splitter
Ля, вот это хорошая жма, одобряю
But im not ready to track an m2, thats for suuuure
People here in the states just do stupid shit with their s55's, that's why they need crankhub upgrade 💀
The M2 in the video is a N55 engine...
@Franzino I'm referring to 2:38 when he talks about crankhub upgrade on s55 motors. Doesn't take a genius to figure out the m2 in the video is a non comp n55 m2
Please, please, J is not an unit, its representing edge of the wheel. Its inch, 10 inch wide wheel, not 10j wide.
Classic Tate W
Lol
Kann ich diesen "Apex" aufkleber bei euch kaufen ?
Ich finde dieses Design so geil
Leider nicht
😵 sehr schade
you guys need to do the crankhub upgrade or ill blow up bruh . no cap
