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!
The way I love these ProTrack Wheels on your M2 Comp. I need these for my F82 M4 one day. Congratulations Joe. She’s back!!!! 🎉
They fit perfectly, so impressed with how they look too 👌
Price/look/weight ratio is on point. 👍@@JoeAchilles1
@@JoeAchilles1 Which are the exact specs of the wheels and did you need to fit spacers? Is the set; 18X10″ ET20 & 18X11″ ET44? Or did you fit the ET25 at front? Thanks 👌
I’m honestly so pleased for you! It’s great to see it back alive
Thanks man!
@@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?
I was a bit late in your videos with the M2! I'm so happy for you that your little monster is back on the road again 🥳
Fabian is an absolute legend! Always happy to help and such a smart guy. Swift are lucky to have him!! Buzzing that you have your M2 back Joe!
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.
Congratulations on getting the M2 back on the road!!
what a great series Joe. The look on your face when she roared to life again! very pleased for you!
Great to see this car brought back to life again, Joe. I was there at Bedford when this happened and was really gutted for you. Thanks for your kind words about my E90 at 9:05. You're more than welcome to jump in for a lap when we bump into each other at another track day.
Fabian is a clever chap ⭐⭐🙌🏼
Sure is!
First start up must feel amazing 👌
It really did!
Your smile made me smile! Awesome to see it alive and back in one piece!
Wow! Congrats Joe. 🎉she’s back with vengeance better than ever. Can’t imagine what that first start up felt like after all that time. She sounds sweet now. Purring beautifully! Definitely agree with the Bedford comment. Get straight back on that horse! Fitting that it’s should be the first track it sees after what happened there.
I bet that was a good feeling Joe! It's great when a workshop like Swift let you in to see behind the scenes. Hope you have fun with it now it's had a freshen up
Thank you, Swift have been AMAZING!
Really enjoyed that video Joe being a hobby mechanic! 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!
Congrats Joe! Really happy to see it running again. Looking forward to the next video.
I think that's the most excited we've seen you behind the wheel of a car!!
So happy for you! You had to have had a tear or two of joy, no? That is a beautiful car, so glad it all worked out.
Really cool! Congrats, Joe!! 🏁🏁🏁
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Welcome back M2 Comp
Thank you!
I'm so happy to see that baby M beast back alive again and also to see you smiling Joe! Gosh, now I realise I'm missing my M car. Cheers mate!
Cheers man!
Brilliant!! Top technician Fabian👌👌
Its good to see the car back up and running again, looking forward to seeing you do some content with the M2 comp Joe.
So good to see the progress. I can only imagine how excited you are!
So good to hear that fire up again!!!!
Congratulations, Fabian is a clever chap. Pleased for you it is great to see it back alive
Yess Joe finally back on the road!
I'm so happy! 😁
Great to see the M2 back up and running. 😎
Congratulations Joe, You really love that car, and now I think that You will appreciate it even more, enjoy every ride!
awesome! some track days coming soon!
Am very happy to see you back into the M2! It just look amazing as ever! ❤
So glad you’ve got her back Joe 🎉
Well done!
Thank you!
Congrats. Let the new adventures begin.
Good to see it back together Joe 👏🏻
Get yourself a powerflex diff bracket. The extra bush really makes a big difference.
Good call, have been asking Russ about one actually 👌🏽
Happy for you Joe. I bet it feels great to be back in the M2 👍🫡🇬🇧
Thanks, it does feel amazing!
Congratulations Joe. I bet that was a great feeling to drive that again.
Amazing mate sounding and looking amazing 😇
Absolutely chuffed to bits for you mate, been a rollercoaster ride I know but the M2 is back!!!!
These guys really seem to know their stuff. Amazing to see this process. Glad the m2 lives on, turned into pretty good content!
Glad you’ve got your pride and job back!
I’d love a price breakdown video of something like this
Congrats Joe and congrats Swift, looks like you've picked a solid mechanic in Fabian!
Looks 🔥🔥
Love an m2 my favourite is the original just love the style!
Great bits of kit 👌🏽
@@JoeAchilles1 if I had the money spare I would love to buy one but for now I will have to stick with my mini r53 track/fast road build for the weekend toy!
Glad to see it’s all back together bro! So chuffed for you! As usual the boys at SP performing a top quality job! 🎉
Yes Joe, yes Joe, yes Joe.. Happy days ...
Cheers man!
Glad it’s finally back on the road/track, you look well chuffed. Congrats fella 👍👍
Would so love to have the M2 Comp in manual form .❤
Epic car, especially when it's fixed ;-)
Fit car Joe. New one starting to finally warm on me too !!! May end up with a ‘2’
Cheers!
Legend, Glad you are sorted! - Time to enjoy some summer road trips soon
Great to see it, and hear it come alive again! 🎉🎉
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 👍
Thank you and that's great to hear re Berry, sounds like a great pair/garage of cars! Cheers
Amazing news Joe! Bet you are stoked!! Look at the Rouge Engineering shifter it allows you to use the std gear knob!!
Thanks man, I will have a look, but really pleased with it now a couple of weeks on.... :-)
@@JoeAchilles1glad to hear it. Interested to hear how you feel about just the Powerflex bush after some more miles as I have a Manual F80 and the shift is a disappointment.
Congratulations Joe,so looking forward to seeing this beauty blasting b roads again,top their job by swift too....
🎉🎉🎉🎉So so happy for you Joe 🎉🎉🎉
Amazing news! What a car 🙌💪
Thank you!
Let’s just say I am very careful in my M2C when downshifting when spirited driving. Been waiting a long time for this one. Congrats on getting her back 🙌👍
Great choice to go back to standard manual shifter, glad you have got this back on the road where it belongs, if you want an old E46 M3 following you in the Alps let me know 😁
It’s Alive ! 👊🏻
Welcome back to F87 Land Joe!. Great to see. Good work Swift
The older M2 is so much prettier than the new Lego version. Glad you kept yours. I sold mine....and cried!
Incredible amount of work, wow! Should be running a long long time with that amount of care takeb to rebuild it
The Cold Start 😍😍😍😍
Shop floor is so clean!
Them pro tracks look unreal
🎉🎉
As a fellow M2C owner keen for more updates..& thoughts on power tweaks pros and cons…..
Here for the algorithm and now I will continue watching 😂 👌🙌
Haha thank you!
@@JoeAchilles1 glad to see the car back in one piece and the expression on your face says it all how you feel.
I have mentioned before but you have struck gold with those lads at swift 🔥
Enjoy the car Joe it's been a while. Hopefully this will keep you well going forward now we are getting better weather so we can all get out and about.
Hahaa. Great to have the M2 back. You must be a happy bunny 😃
I am 🐰
Awesome... get back on that horse! 👊👊👊
Happy, happy days!! Can't wait to see you at Bedford with this, easy 2.36 lap traffic permitting 👌 If you still have your star marked cup 2 it might be worth swapping them over, I think they're quicker than the generic cup2 even when in smaller sizes. Hope to see you there 👍👍
That's quite a weapon! Bet you're like a kid in a sweet shop 🙂
Great to see it alive again. I always see it down there looking sorry for itself lol
Must feel so good to get it back on the road. I know I would be elated.
Man has made himself a new car 💪
So nice to see the M alive again and thank you for showing everything, I now feel more enlightened about my M2, but I can't share the love for the E90, I think this rear just doesn't fit with the overall concept, but luckily Different opinions, I wish you a lot of fun in the future in the Alps near me :)
CAE Ultrashifter is brilliant, have one in mine.
Yes❤
Yes yes!
Just in time for the decent weather blasts, we're all with you on that. Winter always seems the longest months for driving and car enthusiasts.
Welcome back M2c.
Question for the more knowledgable, I drive a Z4 m40i is the oil cooler underneath the main radiator like on full M cars now?
At last great to see the M2 back .
I assume you have the running in procedure to do ?
It was more of a commanding shift that lead to an absence of function as opposed to a controlled shift. @ 6:02
Must be a proud moment !.................Then comes the bill, whoops ! lol
So Joe can you divulge the cost of your last gear change mistake ?
So good to see it back. But go on, share the bill for this work….
Congrats on being back on the road! Curious, what’s your thoughts on the Autoid splitter? I’m considering buying one but hesitant by them being located in the UK.
Any crank hub fix done given engine out?
Are you not going to add some brake cooling while everything is stripped?
Looks and sounds great. Did you change the crank hub?
Yep, all documented in first re build video a few weeks back 👌🏽
@@JoeAchilles1 cool. Just re watched it. Great the bottom end is future proofed and insane 4 pin hub has great reputation. It’ll be a keeper for life now particularly as its manual.
Perhaps a trip to the nurburgring with it😏
Can only imagine the joy of you hearing your S55 coming back to life. Recently listened to the Drive Torque podcast where you mentioned a potential interference from the gearbox being twisted by the higher torque output from the tune you were running on that lap. Was anything looked at or reinforced in that regard?
Edit: wrote this before I saw the bit about the power flex bush 😅
Is the power flex bush an easy upgrade for a mechanic to do?
Currently tracking my manual.
Ooooooh I’ve been waiting for this day! Congratulations Joe, im sure you’re over the moon having your baby beast back on the road!🫱🏽🫲🏾🥳
how much did the repair cost?
Hey Joe, question - did you ever install a clutch stop? Like the BMS one? Will send you Tim Tams for details 😅
Your hair wasn't grey when you blew it up but it is now, is that the 10 months or all of the stress? In all seriousness though, congrats on getting the M2 back on the road. Awesome job!
It’s been a long time coming!! Here’s to many more track days and driving adventures 👍
Joe I'm just wondering how much ten months is costing you and will you be doing a follow up vlog of all the costs 🤔
Curious what the final cost was to get it back on the road.
