There's nothing about an S2000 that fits the ethos of this channel. The reality is the S2000 is really not anything special, and too many people hype it up from their younger days. It's basically a step up from a Miata, except you a pay a pretty penny for it.
@@rustler08 obviously you never owned one before…… Most powerful per cylinder NA engine at the time, front mid engine layout with 50/50 weight balance, one of the best handling cars to come out Japan….I would say it definitely punched above its weight and don’t even compare it to Miata…..
From South Africa . I think you are the greatest man on u tube . Thank you for your knowledge and nice person you are . Go man , we like descent honest men like you !!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Schmee I’ve been a huge fan of yours for many many years lost count as soon as I subbed I love your videos they’re all very informative and educational thank you
Hurts my eyes as a mechanic, to see another mechanic not cleaning the wheel hub, and especially on BMW who tends to get shaky brakes, due to rust buildup behind the rotor :X
Jack made me one for my 1M a few years ago. I had a flat bottom performance style with orange stitching, orange leather stripe at 12 and also had the multi function trim around the buttons and airbag trimmed in the matching alcantara, totaly transformed the look and feel plus i have the trim around the start button painted VO tomatch my exterior.
Top tip, if you ever install new brake pads, rub the two pads together like a sand block 10-15 times and bang them together when done. Once you fit them to your car, the brake pads will work instantly and not have any glaze offering fade.
I love the 1m I should have got one before the prices went nuts. It needs a straight pipe, those brakes are awesome. I love the wheels but the orange and gold looks a bit odd, however I have a feeling it’s getting wrapped
With my initial impressions of the gold wheels, it’s kind of growing on me. I prefer the silver but I understand the choice and uniqueness on the road!
Shmee150 Great Video I'm glad your BWM 1M now has ECB Apollo Series Brakes and a New Custom Steering wheel from Royal Steering wheels and I think it looks great and I can't wait to see what's next for it
When you're next on the west coast of the US I'd love to see you visit the Brothers Collection in Oregon. They have a huge variety of exotics and historical American cars, all of which are kept in pristine, running condition.
Personally I really like seeing people do the smaller things to cars to really make them their own, it's always interesting to see how other people think about cars. Especially with people like Schmee and Mat who do cars in their spec and their way without thinking about what's "cool on the street" or "looks expensive" but instead all about personal expression
@@MuitoDaora You should try and look into how colourways actually work. The fact alone that people say that these two colours clash, says a lot about how little people know about colourways.
Congrats on the upgrade of the brakes! And if only you knew a guy who knows something suspension, a certain track and body parts/aero parts to make the 1M into a proper occasional track tool 😜
They should not say at all it's Dealership level diagnostics it siimply is not. They cannot say that to advertise it. Understand you have to say what they want you too. 1M looks amazing!
I added supercharger to my Camaro and now had to upgrade to 6 piston brembo zl1 kit for £8k they aren't cheap! But just as important as the power modifications 👍
It is good to mention that when you upgrade your brakes to more pistons per caliper, there will be more break fluid in each corner when you are on the brakes. That can mean that you require a bigger master cylinder. There are plenty of stories of people finding themselves out of brakes, especially when breaking really hard (because you need to stop in a hurry) due to the master cylinder not having enough capacity to fill all the pistons.
I would be bothered by the fact that the front has nice new shiny brakes, mixed with the boring rear stock setup. Tim, you gotta do the rear upgrade, to a 4 piston setup to match.
I have an EBC brake upgrade to my car. I would gladly pay a premium for properly bedded pads from the factory. Finally, when track use I've heard a lot of good things about the RP1 pads.
You should talk to Pagid and see if they have some pads for your car. They will offer a bedding service. That said, you do need to do it anyway, as you need the pad material transfer. It is not hard. Do it on a Sunday morning with nobody on the roads.
@@przemeknowak2905 Have you run RST3's? They are VERY aggressive for road use, and that comes from someone who's okay with using RSL1's on ceramic rotors on the street. I have them on a 991 GT3 that lives at the Ring permanently and never sees real road used. I have tried them for the road for short durations, and they were terrible. Short lasting, glaze within a few km etc. RS14 or RS42 is what I'd use for the street, or RSL pads if you want a serious but lasting track pad.
@@Andy8x I’ve run EBC years ago when I had my RS Turbo Escort (early 2000s) and all the discs did was warp and crack with hard use, were replaced twice. You’d think he’d have gone for some proper brakes like AP.
@@rupertm2542 EBC definitely had QC issues in the past. But I know from experience that their products has gotten better. I would still not touch their single piece cast rotors with a 10 foot pole. The good thing is that if he has issues, he can contact a company like Tarox and get better discs. I know AP is well known, but from my experience on the race track, Tarox discs are very hard to beat. I have run AP on my F430 GT3 race car with mixed results, we have yet to warp or crack a Tarox disc.
I put this kit on my fiesta st 330bhp and it’s just brilliant stopping power is unreal great kit ebc mine came with ebc fluid just to note, bedding these bad boys In takes ages if done properly!!!!! There no way you can do this in 1 drive cycle
I take it you didn’t get anywhere with the link about them BMW 1series competition seats I sent. They would have looked awesome specially as they had the matching orange stitching.
god i love the 1 series project, hoping for more vid soon Shmee
It'll be Ring time soon!

It’s going to be such a machine when it’s finished. Looking forward to the reveal of the Roma Spider soon.
Really soon!
Glad to see some more love being given to the 1M
I love driving it, just took a while to really get started with the project. Maybe we do an update on it every month or two as we crack on with this.
Love these modification videos on legendary old-ish cars!
I absolutely adore these kind of videos
Thanks for watching!
I love the way you say, "We do these modifications!" Is this the royal we? You never get your hands dirty!
I love seeing the older cars in the collection get some tlc. I’d love to see an s2000 in the collection someday. I think it would fit the ethos of the channel.
Like with the Clio V6, there is going to be more to come with the 1M
You should sort seats recaro m performance I have just installed on m2 check out AMX performance different level

How long did he keep his Supra and Yaris? Exactly

Hi Shmee I'm guys! Can't tell you how much I enjoy these upgrade videos ESPECIALLY at the Shmuseum!
how many times did he say obviously?
Once or twice, obviously 😂
Obviously a lot, obviously!😅
Dont stress yourself obviously
Blokes nervous, leave of the guy! 😂
I really enjoy your content that's not super car related such as your 1M, Clio V6 and 914. Keep up this type of content Tim!
The 1M and Clio V6 are one of my favorite in the collection, down to the specifications on both, absolutely beautiful.
What are you doing with the stock discs and rotors? I need an update for my 335i. Let me know if they’re for sale. Cheers!
Ping a DM to @shmee150 on Instagram, or email via website, let's see
One of the sickest cars in his museum. He might not think so, but I would take it over a few others. Amazing ❤
I like these oem+ episodes the best
Love these videos, also the Euro tour vids.
So much more vibe and class as the car collections vids.
The 1M is great, like the gold wheels!
Royal are amazing. Glad you’ve used them!
I love videos like this about upgrading the cars
Hurts my eyes as a mechanic, to see another mechanic not cleaning the wheel hub, and especially on BMW who tends to get shaky brakes, due to rust buildup behind the rotor :X
Noticed that too. I was wondering when they were going to do it but they never did 😕
That was disgusting workmanship
I'm sure he knows what he is doing and that they did get cleaned... Unfortunately, not everything is shown in these types of videos
I think you guys should stop watching on your cell phones, when I see him install the new rotor, it's clear that the hub was cleaned.
@@van_der_lindeDAhe clearly cleaned it. Look at the hub when the old rotor is taken off and then look at the hub when the new rotor is installed.
It’s nice to see an attainable car from time to time, I like the gold rims
Jack made me one for my 1M a few years ago. I had a flat bottom performance style with orange stitching, orange leather stripe at 12 and also had the multi function trim around the buttons and airbag trimmed in the matching alcantara, totaly transformed the look and feel plus i have the trim around the start button painted VO tomatch my exterior.
I like this style of video Tim, enjoyed this
I just got my steering wheel done by royal steering wheels they are the best! Also I like the gold wheels
Very happy with that result
Top tip, if you ever install new brake pads, rub the two pads together like a sand block 10-15 times and bang them together when done. Once you fit them to your car, the brake pads will work instantly and not have any glaze offering fade.
Don’t apologize at all for those wheels! They are amazing! 😮
Pleased you like them!
Very classy upgrade. For looks and for feels!
Love the project, Everyone waiting for the Ferrari Roma Video 😂😅 its like you got to upgrade levels to watch, watch the 1M video to get to the Roma 😂😏
I like the gold wheels,goes good with the body color. Nicely upgraded brakes as well !
Love the way your 1M build is coming along!
OEM+ is definitely the sweet spot for these cars 👌
(says me with over 700bhp in my 1M)
Loving where this OEM+ project is going Tim 💪👏
Shmee your garage is very colorful. Great job.
Love this car and content, 135i owner here and the chassis is just amazing to drive.
I love the 1m I should have got one before the prices went nuts. It needs a straight pipe, those brakes are awesome.
I love the wheels but the orange and gold looks a bit odd, however I have a feeling it’s getting wrapped
Prices aren't too crazy, one went in high £20s on Collecting Cars only a few weeks ago

Loved doing those types of upgrades. That car is still user friendly if you keep it in good maintenance.. Nice..
Royal done my BMW E86 wheel. Done a fantastic job. Better than factory!
I just love that car, even the colour is perfect for it.
Hey Shmee, will you do any more upgrades to the BMW? Would love to see more videos like this. Cheers Shmee
Yes! It needs new suspension, maybe some bodywork parts, and obligatory runs to places like the Ring
@@Shmee150 Look forward to seeing the transformation !! Have a great day.
@@Shmee150anything powerwise?
Sick build. Upgrade the intercooler and charge pipes for reliability.
These are the videos we like!
I'll be honest, I didn't originally like your color wheel choice, but after seeing it today, I think you made a good decision, it looks good.
Great to see what is possible on a lower budget as well
The 1 M is my love in the Fleet. 😍
EBC makes excellent brakes...congrats and it looks awesome.as well. Nice brakes
EBC is known to have not the best quality but ok
She's beautiful, such a timeless design from BMW, she ageing like a fine wine.
Personally I really like seeing people do the smaller things to cars to really make them their own, it's always interesting to see how other people think about cars.

Be cool to see you do a Sema like build. A slightly wider stance would be sweet on that car.
I really like the EBC brakes they are excellent!!
Beautiful Beamer Shmee
Gold wheels and orange paint compliment each other so well. 👌
It does. I cannot fathom how so many cannot see that.

There are plenty of stories of people finding themselves out of brakes, especially when breaking really hard (because you need to stop in a hurry) due to the master cylinder not having enough capacity to fill all the pistons.
There is also an issue with capacity of ABS pump pistons. It might cause lack of braking pressure if ABS is disabled due to error or no power.
Really liking the 1M videos👍.
The gold wheels are controversial but I do like them🤔

At last on shmee a bmw and OEM+ what more can we ask
For ? Mybe shmee geting

KW, or Nitron suspension kit, and then ship it off to Litchfield to get a down pipe and a tune, and boom, 660HP.
