Really good content Misha,but also I would like to say to George a massive thank you for constantly sharing with us his knowledge and passion about cars!
Love these tech discussions Misha. Really looking forward to additional deep dives on the M2 and I think the “tips and tricks” information is super helpful. For many of us that track our cars but don’t plan to do a full track build as we still drive them around town, knowing more about the recommendations from you and George would be very welcomed.
Nice work good to see the N55 standing up to its ardous life. My 2016 M2 has 170,000 klms. I kept it std for 160,000 ks but now it has FBO with Ohlins and runs 11in rears and 10 in fronts with 305 / 30/ 18 and 275/ 35 /18 fronts so 295,s are a lock.
Misha with these videos you answer so many questions about these things I have had since I was a kid ... I love how in depth you guys go about actually explaining the modifications
I've always thought George was a bit of a tight ass, just a bit too serious. But watching him with Pancake you see he's just a softy at heart. It's nice to see that side of him.
It has been a while we have seen one of these videos. Really interesting things happening to the M2, it would be great to follow the process all the way through.
I love your dog Pancake, you need more action content with cars because Pancake is the most action in the video. Blessings to all of you from Northern Israel!
Somedays I miss my M2, but then I go out and drive my 991.2 Carrera. Maybe Pancake needs a leash when she is unable to be watched and wonders off. Not sure if they have them in Germany, but my bulldogs have always loved a chew bone called Nylabone. Available in many sizes and flavors.
Awesome channel, love all your content! Please ask George why he says 'obviously' when he is explaining something that is not obvious at all!! Anyway, great knowledge and top work on the cars George! 👍
Great informative video. But really be careful with pancake eating stones. My puppy swallowed one when he was about her age without us noticing it - we think he might have played with one, got startled and swallowed it by mistake - and we had to get him surgery because it got stuck in his intestines. Luckily it was a fairly round one, so no internal damage. But it was scary nonetheless. Ofc, I don't want to scare you, but pay good attention, and don't let her play with stones. Wish you all the best!
Approximately 4:00 minutes when Pancake takes off after the other dog, her name gets her attention you forgot to give her her recall command. I’ll bet she will obey already, maybe she was just checking for a lap ticket!
With the diff solid mounted, did you change the motor and trans bushings as well to stiffer polyurethane or solid? To match up the drivetrain. Love my diff whine with polyurethane bushings, sometimes wish i went w solid aluminum bushings to get more whine as i only really hear it while cruising on the highway ha
I really like those diff lift kits for the M4 and M2. Do they make them for the E46 M3 by any chance? I want to lower the rear of mine more but then the roll center is a big issue if you lower a E46M rear too much, for that reason usually can’t fully lower the rear cause it messed it up and the car just rides horrible.
Can someone explain again how to obtain that diff whine sound? Does the diff have to be lifted? And can you still hear it if you don't strip out the interior of the car?
Just get solid differential bushings and the noise can be achieved without stripping the interior. Lift is only necessary when lowering the ride height to the extent that you need to correct or restore the angle of the axles
Thanks for the video, Misha. Very much appreciate the Tech talk :) What are your thoughts about the differences between M2 and M2 Competition for a hobby track day use? Is it worth to upgrade or would you be looking for something else?
I feel like Misha you should make this a M2 a combo of being a very good road car while also a very good track car because so many M2 owners have modified it completely to be a track tool & so I want you to do a 1 of 1 M2 like a lovely combo of being lovely to drive on a great road & fun on track.
Instead of Sunroof, put a carbon fibre roof on it. That would save more weight & cooler too. And forged wheels too like the CS to make it a little lighter.
Dus het kriebelde te hard om de minst aangepaste auto in de vloot zo te laten, dus dan zijn bijna alle auto's met achterbank omgebouwd naar clubsport. Alleen de Polo niet.
@@Leadership4Results yep, popular tried and true option on this car. Schirmer also offers an AP Racing kit so I suspect they'll goto them once they feel it's time
Missed the tech talks. Good to see the M2 getting some updates and upgrades. Pancake being a good distraction in between the talks. What a cute doggo.
Really good content Misha,but also I would like to say to George a massive thank you for constantly sharing with us his knowledge and passion about cars!
Always like the vibe talks with George deliver. Such a calm guy/voice!

Damn, thats really good, any major problems with your m2?

He's Brittish so dry humor guy. And he's serious about his job with cars.
I‘d love to know more about the wear of this M2. How many km on track, first engine, first gearbox?
All first!
@@mgcharoudin Thats quality! How many track KM has it been driven?
Never thought the m2 would survive for so long😁👏
The first Apex car. Glad she’s getting some love. She’s a special girl.
The M2 has to be the best BMW yet
Definitely not
The apex M2 back on the channel and straight with the upgrade, lovely
Good content, I'm sure however that the OEM size for the M2 is 245 & 265 (instead of 255 & 275) @ 1:57
Yes. The 255 front en 275 rear make a big difference in grip tho, already a great upgrade.
Cars and dogs go together perfectly. Congrats on the new family member!
It has been a while we have seen one of these videos. Really interesting things happening to the M2, it would be great to follow the process all the way through.
Love the M2 content, keep it coming!!!!!
Great stuff! Keep us updated on this build interested to know what you will add to this beast.💯🏁🔥
I am excited about it, actually... I might like it, a lot!
Want final results asap
Hi Misha, i'm heading to the Eifel tomorow for a motor trip. If all goes well i'll come over to say hi!
I love your dog Pancake, you need more action content with cars because Pancake is the most action in the video. Blessings to all of you from Northern Israel!
Sounds like a nice drive 🚗

Not sure if they have them in Germany, but my bulldogs have always loved a chew bone called Nylabone. Available in many sizes and flavors.
put on a bigger intercooler and an oil thermostat that gets the oil cooler. it should run way beter. m2's have some heat issues if you drive it hard
Awesome channel, love all your content! Please ask George why he says 'obviously' when he is explaining something that is not obvious at all!! Anyway, great knowledge and top work on the cars George! 👍
Thanks for technical videos
Even for a technical nerd like me it's a nice video, thx!
Great informative video.

How many laps will it take for Robert Kubica to spoil it.....😁

I’ll bet she will obey already, maybe she was just checking for a lap ticket!
I almost hate clicking on these type of videos... I know it will make me want more parts 😂😂
Me having just purchased Bilstein B12 kit. "Hmmm wonder if I can raise the diff in the F31" probably not even needing it.
@@shiftdnb I have awd audi and am wondering how I can do it 😂😂
We love the shepperd!
I'd love a parts list for all those bushings, diff lift, suspension etc. That's the next stage for my M2C build
Good video
lovin these laid back tech talks and pancake adding drama with stone eating, why do dogs do this? is it some mineral deficiency?
You guys only started Apex 4 years ago? That's awesome considering your success.
Would love to see more tech videos!
Where is new golf R with performance package Misha?
Way safer to drive compared to Yaris ;)
That makes me really wanna have an m2 comp with the Schirmer kinemetic parts 😅
Big hi to George from Russia! Cool guy😎
Cool video 👍🏻
Have a good evening guys . ty
Lets be honest, Pancake is much more entertaining than suspension upgrades anyway :)
Hello Misha, nice video as alway. Just wondering, where do you buy the JRZ from? I have trouble finding it in Europe. Thanks!
Waiting for more videos on M2
are the spring rates secret too? can you at least give ball park? I'm curious what kinda spring rate is good for the nurburgring...
Nice upgrades! Question did you also considered the Öhlins Road & Track suspension for the M2?
No
@@mgcharoudin a lit late but, why? To soft?
With the diff solid mounted, did you change the motor and trans bushings as well to stiffer polyurethane or solid? To match up the drivetrain.
Love my diff whine with polyurethane bushings, sometimes wish i went w solid aluminum bushings to get more whine as i only really hear it while cruising on the highway ha
In for an alignment video!
Dude! Pancake is huge now!
All 10j et25 275/35/18 x4 ? Thank you
Great
RIMAC ON NURBURGRINGGGGGG
Such a semi-rigid mounting of the differential can lead to premature wear?
I really like those diff lift kits for the M4 and M2. Do they make them for the E46 M3 by any chance? I want to lower the rear of mine more but then the roll center is a big issue if you lower a E46M rear too much, for that reason usually can’t fully lower the rear cause it messed it up and the car just rides horrible.
Actually the stock size of the front tyre of the M2 are 245 not 255...am I wrong? 245 front, 265 rear...
Do you supply the pro track wheels thanks
I'd love to know what your click rates you're running. I just ordered my RS Pro 3 way as well for my m2c
sparco QRT-r is a good option
U use JRZ but spring rate is how much exactly ? Tyre size is 18 inch 295 rear with how much front?265/18?
Hi. What controllarm bushes are you using ?
Hey misha, small question did you have any failure with the stock disc ?
Everyone: Pancake stop eating rocks. Pancake: These are delicious what are they again?
The challenge I've had with full adjustable suspension in the past is dialling in the right settings - how do you decide ?
Ah, do you get all of the settings from Schirmer ?
We test and adjust
M2 update - I really need to come lap it again on another track day!
how often do the fluids get changed?
Don't know why but M2 reminded me to Philip. Can you make a video with him
Can someone explain again how to obtain that diff whine sound? Does the diff have to be lifted? And can you still hear it if you don't strip out the interior of the car?
Just get solid differential bushings and the noise can be achieved without stripping the interior. Lift is only necessary when lowering the ride height to the extent that you need to correct or restore the angle of the axles
@@mullner88 Thanks, but are you sure this increases the sound? I found some differential bushings and none say they add sound.
what alignment you use?
Hi, can somebody please tell me where to find the higherring kit for the diff ?
Thanks for the video, Misha. Very much appreciate the Tech talk :)
What are your thoughts about the differences between M2 and M2 Competition for a hobby track day use? Is it worth to upgrade or would you be looking for something else?
Stock downpipe??
How about Recaro Podium seats :D

dogs and open road don't mix, but puppies are good for meeting chicks.
Nice
I want to be an intern at this shop. Talk to guys 👀
Upgrade dacia logan!!!
南港ＡＲ-1好用嗎？ 台灣輪胎耶！
So... George didn't get to shop groceries after all. 😬
More Pancake!
your dog needs a chewy stick (rawhide chewing stick)
Have plenty of those, sometimes she just does not care
But will this very special "NEXT LEVEL" demagnetize the BMW from being attracted to walls, barriers and other knuckleheads on track?
🤘🤓🤘🇬🇧
Literally…obviously…literally
Go Racetech 4100.

That’s basically what George said 😅
Bad joke of the day 11:33 She just wanna get stoned

Uhm, that's what we say?
Mischa if U still remained in Russia
Pancake would eat Black bread with
Vodka and pickled salty cucumber instead of Stones etc.😜
Why is pancake playing by the road unattended. That's gonna be a dead dog, that's upsetting 😔
Maybe only a small chance, but you're right. I'd never leave my dog unattended when off leash, especially not a puppy.

no
