    Those two little bumps on the inner part of your side mirrors is to delete any helicopter wind noise when the window is down.

      Gotcha! Thanks for this man, I'll pin it so everyone can see. That definitely makes sense, but it's interesting the M2C/M3/M4 mirrors don't have these. Any idea why? Maybe the winglet that comes stock fixes that?

    After watching God knows how many M2 vids, yours are always educational, like this one and the one about bulletproofing the M2. It's like all the useful lessons from scouring forums for hours can be found here. Thanks! Keep up the great work and don't change. :)

Wasn't too worried about the tires blowing out - my friends were gonna tell me if I was down to the belts. Looking back at it, probably not the best plan

    Someone somewhere must know what causes the blinker/indicator problem? Mine does it about once a month. I think it might be water ingress? I’ve had mine swapped and now it’s out of warranty it’s started doing it again. I heard if you give it a good hard bang it stops it. Doesn’t work for me though 🤷‍♂️

    • @collectingms3803
      @collectingms3803  3 года назад

      That's what I thought as well, but the issue normally clears up the next time I use the turn signal. Maybe the lights get hot enough to evaporate it? Then again they're LEDs, so I'm really not sure lol. How bad is yours?

      @@collectingms3803 how much water? Huge amounts! It was washing around in there - about half a cups worth! I’m not sure if it was getting through the rubber bulb seal at the back or a very fine invisible crack I have on the moulding line at the front. I have now drilled 3 holes along the bottom edge of the casing to let the water drain out if it collects. In fact I will show you on DMs if my insta (I just starting following you) @dunstablem2

      @mike_kokuz17 2 года назад

      The rear indicator fault is caused from bad grounding which is why if you give them a thud it clears for a bit. There’s a separate issue also with water ingress from the rear window/roof runner seals which then runs down and collects in the trunk/boot - specifically on the left side where the amp is which recently blew my HK amp even with the amp cover which was installed by BMW, all replaced under warranty or should be of out of warranty under good will

It's funny because after making this video, one of my friends pointed out a bunch of cool things too. If you look at the idrive screen for sport + and sport, the road is slightly different, at least on his car.

    Im looking to buy my first actual good car. My uncle offered to sell me his 2017 m240 64k miles for a good price. I know bwms can be unreliable but its such a sick car. Should I look for something new or go in on the m2.

      @collectingms3803  2 года назад

      The M240i is a great car - Darryl (my camera man/dad) had one for a year and it was great. No issues whatsoever, with a decent amount of driving. The M2 is also a fantastic car and I've put about 30k KM on mine without a single issue as well (besides the tail lights. A common issue). The M2 is definitely a much more fun car IMO, with the rear wheel drive and overall set up. I'd say test drive both and see what you like ;)
