@@matthewwaldrup149 I don't blame you sir. Sometimes these cars in particular can be a lot. I enjoy mine so much I don't think I could get ride of it at the moment. I will say I have done a ton of maintenance to it but buying a higher mileage one for less still the best move I made.

Oh I forgot I put a new battery and alternator on it in February…. And the FRM needs to be reset. I don’t think it’s bad bc it’s not giving the typical symptoms of a bad one. I’m think the counters just need reset. Had a short in my taillights when I bought it.

@@brockmoorea14 I don’t wanna get rid of it it’s always been a dream car of mine… (my personal “trinity” of cars that’s actually attainable to a normal person is the e9x m3, e60 m5, and w204 c63) and I plan on owning all 3 at the same time eventually…. But I’m just in a predicament atm bc the money in parts alone much less shop labor to install them is enough to buy either of the other 2 cars. Granted they’d be high mileage at around 20k but still… do I keep dumping money into it or just cut my losses for now and get rid of it and get one of the other ones ya know?… and if I did go that route I’m well aware that buying a higher mileage one could have just as many problems as what I’ve got now there’s always that possibility.

@@Sirrichz28 they look a lot better in person. In pictures/videos you don't realize the size of them. They are realistically the size of a G8 or SS.

@brockmoorea14 yes, sir, that's why I said that could change when I see it in person. It's happened before very recently 😀 a car you may have heard of ....CT5 V blackwing it didn't really get me till I saw it in person

@@Sirrichz28 CT5-V are incredible as well just slightly larger and will get you in trouble no matter what haha lots of HP and TQ. The CT4 V I found much more usable every day.

@@tremell7559 random inventory unit at a dealer they just got in. I wanted to shoot a video before it was sold. so it was just a quick clean.

It definitely goes well with the carbon packages

@@mihaicostescu I appreciate it man! I'm gonna be switching the Headlamps out for a factory set that are rebuilt. But those are around $3k so I'm gonna focus on the chassis refresh first.

6th Gen got the package option in 2015. 5th Gen got the package option in 2012.

Thanks man! I really appreciate the kind words! Gotta keep keep at it

@@sr20dett1000 so the thing is I got mine from an Auction. Right place right time after searching for a bit. I only paid $14,700 which I think is fair in condition. I believe once I do some replacement bumpers, body work and Interior refresh it will be more of a $20k car long term. If you want a project I think there are good deals out there from $15-20k range depending on miles and conditions

Thank you man! I appreciate the positive comment trying to build this channel out long term! Diesel E9X or X5s are cool haha the S65 is awesome no complaints. Just trying to make my E90 as nice as I can

@@brockmoorea14 I've no doubt. You know your stuff, super clear on the technical, descriptive and great delivery. Will tune in for more. Would love to ask you questions on my car as it's high mileage now but won't clog your channel with the unnecessary. Keep doing your thing man.

@@iProSwiitch that's goals man! Once day I will have this car dialed in! But I enjoy the project factor alot.

@@gnkVLCT I agree I just don't like how much this one drones at cruising speeds. I want to do a proper midpipe with 4 resonators with either valved or borla rear section.

@@brockmoorea14 more resonators is always smart and cheap mod, and if its too quiet you simply remove it, always overlooked by people these days...dunno why. Instead people throw thousands of dollars at "brand name" full systems that sound junk...lol.

​@@gnkVLCThaha I agree with you. Unfortunately this exhaust came with the car and they welded it to the midpipe. So if I want to change it I'm forced to at least do some sort of a midpipe change or modification. But I'm okay with it because I wanted to change up the setup to something a little nicer.

@@brockmoorea14 cant wait to see what you can make out of it, keep it up.

@@gnkVLCT I appreciate it man! Slowly but surely getting it up to par. Just got a lot of miles but one I will get it dialed in

Honestly I wouldn't go for the 335I. I would do the E90 M3. I have driven plenty of 335s they are cool but nothing I would want to personally own. The main reason I would steer you away from the single turbo 335I is because you are banking on someone else work done correctly. Also at the end of the day it will always be a 335i. Even with the higher mileage the E90 will continue to appreciate and as long as you maintain it well. Then it will treat you right for a long time. Now I will say part for part everything on a M3 is going to be more(coil packs, injectors, spark plugs, brake rotors ect) so be prepared to spend around 30% more for maintenance items compared to the 335I. E9X M3 are great and have a special driving character because of all the monoball factory bushings and more aggressive LSD unit in the bigger diff housing. plus a S65 V8 revving to 8k is a lot of fun.

You won’t like the low end tq on the m3 vs the 135. I came from a stage three n54 335xi. The m3 is hands down a different experience and won’t be as fast as the turbo cars, however the m3 is the better car and more engaging. Ripping a v8 to 8400 rpm’s with that sound is glorious. Your tq starts at 4000 rpm’s so it wants to be driving to achieve that power.

I called the 16-18 M2 base/OG it has multiple names because it is the base level or original recipe as you will of the F87 series. It had the N55 single turbo engine, base 2 series seats, smaller F80 based calipers, different facia ect. The 19-21 F87 comp or CS had the F80 S55 twin turbo engine, larger brake package, F80 seats, different front facia ect. The CS is a CS gets the random special bits that BMW Always does on a CS. This video was to show the difference between the OG/BASE M2 and the M2 Competition Trim/Models. You are correct the physical suspension components of the of the M2,M2 Comp have the same springs and dampers. The CS model got the F80/82/83 EDC dampers but continued to use the same M2/M2 comp spring rates, BMW did try different dampers and spring rates on the M2 Comp but they never made it into the production car. The word track I used in the video was probably misleading I apologize. They did change the complete suspension and steering calibration along with some minor diff settings( probably some tighter shims on preload for the slip unit). Carbon brace is probably not much help the S55 weight difference is what changed the some of the driving character of the competition vs OG . The larger kidney grills and different facia of the M2 Comp is for the S55 cooling. Both are cool cars if I had to pick on I would still go with the Base/OG for a fun track car and the N55 driving character. Thanks for the comments the more we all can learn and improve the better.

Sorry about that there was an issue on this video with the Mic set-up. I'm fixing it going forward.

@@brockmoorea14 we've all been there. great video otherwise!

@@joshhdtx I appreciate it man thank you! Just bought a house so I'm moving this week. Next week will be back on the grind haha

Personally I would rather have a OG M2 as a tracks car. M2C is cool but I like the OG better to build off of. They stay cooler easier and they are proven to be very reliable.

Main thing for me is the fact these engines are getting a lot of hours/miles. I really don't like the idea of just replacing bearings. The rods ends need to be checked for out of round, crank needs to be polished to remove any possible material and honestly I feel like the main bearings should be done as well.

That's awesome! I'm honestly been looking at e36 M3s for a more dedicated track car haha

Honestly I've never had an issue with this car that has stopped it from driving. It has maintenance items that was over due that needed attention but nothing catastrophic. The only direct car that you could compare on Lexus lineup is a ISF or an RCF. They do have a good sounding V8 but offer only a torque converter automatic no manual or DCT. They also drive completely different it's just a personal preference at that point which one you get.

I would get an interior shop to just re do the seam they can usually hide it well. I have used Colourlock products in the past I really like them.

@@anthonyboey3210 not my car. Just used for the video

I completely agree. Whenever I buy a F87 M2 seats will be the first investment because it will be a more dedicated track car. Yes the N55 diffidently sound great with an exhaust.

@@brockmoorea14 You are absolutely right. In general M2´s are just the best :)

When did he say that

Kind of Confused because I never talked about a M240I? I do know you could get the M240I in a AWD configuration with the First generation B58.

Which is a great base engine for a prep, even with only a tune

@@brockmoorea14 no I’m just asking. You never brought it up but it is the fastest bmw out to date if modded all the way

I know the lower part of the bumper was updated didn't realize the Kidney grills were larger. That's a cool fact to know. Seat upgrade I mentioned because I do believe its one of the best upgrades in term of day to day. The S55 does definitely help with the additional turbo for adding a different character to the M2 chassis.

Well it's technically the same S55. Some early reports said they had slightly different changes engine wise but who knows. The wheel base of a F80 M3 is 110.7 inches and the F87 M2 comp is 106 inches. That slightly shorter wheelbase does give it that different driving experience vs the F80. But personally I would take an F80 over a F87 M2 comp to replace my E90 M3. But perfect world I would have a Base M2 as my lapping day car and daily an F80 M3 haha

M2 comps have a much better resell value than the f80. Air to air intercooler conversion fixes the cooling and heat soak issue for track days. I’d take an m2 comp, and daily an f30 335. But I own a 14 335 and have a 135 sittin on ice

@@brockmoorea14 Yeah I’d love an f80 M4C personally, 50 more hp than the comp and a nicer cabin. The M2C is a better car than the OG but not the direction the M2 was meant to go in imo, it’s meant to be a 1M successor and the OG does a decent job at that (aside from the steering). If I was tuning for big power I’d go s55 all the way but the M4 chassis just feels a lot more stable at 500+ hp and is better suited motor to that car. The M2CS is the proper M2C imo as it addressed the weight and actually revised the suspension beyond just software.

Don't blame you, if I truly had the choice I would take a comp with the S55 hands down. But I also like the idea of running a Base M2 with just downpipe and tune. Then lapping the hell out of it haha

@@brockmoorea14 cost, how many miles I'm going to put on it and what those miles will be certainly play into the formula!

​@@brockmoorea14 certainly the best sounding turbo m car

I do like the sound of my S65 E90 M3 more I have to say.

@@brockmoorea14 no competition there, E9X sounds the best no doubt

Factory unit or did you upgrade the system to an aftermarket unit like MR12V? I know the factory units really don't like newer phones. That's why most people upgrade to MR12V to regain functionality.

Your car has to have a 2010.5 or newer manufacturing date which would include the combox. If it’s older than that then you don’t get Bluetooth audio streaming. Just get a mr12volt. Don’t bother retrofitting.

@@alfyer5 I do have the “new” combox, mine is 2011. It will recognize the phone on Bluetooth, but it does not transfer data or says that “the phone is stored” it will answer calls, but no control with the iDrive? I think my BT/ combox link may be faulty? I do know that my footwell module (frm) is faulty, per “BimmerCode”, I cannot program certain functions, would this affect the CIC/ BT? Thanks for your feedback 😊

Awesome! Glade to hear it! Theses things just need maintenance.

That's Awesome! Just keep driving it and keeping it Maintained. Its gonna last you for awhile.

ive heard you need to do the bearings on these every 100k miles otherwise you run the risk of engine failure

Thank you! Really glade I found this car. I just need to do the Aftermarket carbon roof at some point to seal the spec for me.

@@brockmoorea14 same here!

@@ZRVN06 personally I wouldn't change the bearings. If you are scared about them and that could influence a decision. But I've built enough engines I'm not comfortable just slapping bearings in something. I would rather pull it apart have the crank polished, line bore checked and rods checked for out of round. Then if it passed bearing size selection for clearance and re assembly. Long store sort there's a lot more to putting bearings in a car especially with age and mileage everything wears together.

Ill give you some perspective I wish I heard when I was 18 and in the same position, save your money buy a house ect you have plenty of time for a cool car.

@@coreym4981 I completely agree with that

@@Bmwguy2011 that's awesome! I don't plan on getting rid of mine for awhile. Would love to see get over 200k.

Yup I agree.

Exactly, no need to rush into the bearing replacement. I'm going to be doing a full video on this soon explaining it in more detail.

@@eiji81 yup I had to code out the adaptive in mine. Which is fine because I would never have cared for it anyways. Seems like the trend with theses cars the more you drive them the better they are.

@@knighriderredux yup the seat is an eye sore. The plan is to do something recaros but I might just have it fixed in the meantime. Glad to hear about a lot of these cars being driven!

Sound quality is great. I've been in several cars with the MR12 Volt installed. It sounds as good as my Aux hooked up to the factory port. Its probably one of the best things you can do for one of these cars.
