The M2 is slowly becoming one of my favorite builds on the channel. I love that you’re putting the little JDM touches on it too, that OMP seat is SAUCY 😮💨
Hey Dustin, just wanted to give a few tips to help out with this build, you can delete the break pad wear sensor by cutting the tip and twisting the wires together and tucking the harness way. You also can have the light for the seats deleted via bimmer pro Geeks using an Android tablet, or pay someone to code it out remotely. If you go with a full coilover set up you would have to do the same.
Dut sick vid and always great to see the Race Car G87 M2 get some more upgrades and look at you with the Endless Racing brake pads smart man 👌 and nice touch with the Limited Edition Confetti type seat that thing is sick 👌 cant wait to see more upgrades and you ripping up the track and good luck ill be rooting for you and as always keep up the great work 👍
Quick comment on the Brake Fluid/Bleed/Flush process. For the DIY-er without BMW tools that actuate the ABS pump to 'push the fluid out', disconnect the battery and the brake pedal feel returns to what a normal (non-brake by wire) system feels like, since that's the backup fail-safe mode if power is cut (so you still have brakes in an emergency). This lets you more effectively bleed the brakes. I can't imagine how much work it was for you guys to have bled the brakes with the battery still connected. Secondly the brake error you got was not likely from bleeding but rather from retracting the rear brake piston without going through the process that BMW documents. Again for the DIY-er at home without using any official or aftermarket BMW software, just keep that battery disconnected while going through the process and the car won't be 'surprised' that fluid levels, piston position etc. have changed suddenly - which might otherwise suggest a brake failure if it happened while driving. Keep up the progress!
From South Africa 🇿🇦 and been watching 8pm our local time for the last two years, catching up on all the vids on the days nothing drops. Currently in the US working and the vids drop midday, at least I still have lunchtime to watch them😂 love the m2🔥 and can't wait to see the Porsche getting built🔥
Can anyone clarify if dustin put the rotors on the correct side interms of the slots? In the past when ive changed slotted rotors on my own big brakes ive always aswell as being advised by the manufacture (DBA) to have the lower side of the slot contact the pad first while the rotors in rotation therefore expelling the heat outwards towards the barrel of the wheel and not inwards to the hub such as dustins car would appear. Not saying its wrong but just wondering what Girodisk or Bmw reccomend?
From my experience running Girodisc rotors, when I installed mine, they were labeled right and left. So I imagine Dustin has them on correctly because they should come labeled straight from Girodisc.
dustin, fun fact, if you hit the "Tare" button it'll zero the scale out. and when you get off the scale it'll go negative. so when you hold the seat and get back on, you'll see the weight of whatever you're holding. haha
The reason it’s in the back of the motor is because the timing components for B58/S58 are on the back of the engine, which the oil pump is driven from there, hence where the oil filter housing location is on the car 😬 - for wet sump engines the filter housing is always close to the oil pump
Probably got the brake system error because the electric parking brake. When replacing pads you have to use BMW ISTA to retract the pistons, replace, and end the service procedure. If you’re interested in proper coding remotely for the seats, I have a contact for you 👍🏾
In Forza Motorsport I did a 1:38.448 on Laguna Seca in a stock M2. The suspension and tire upgrades made a huge difference. It had a little understeer after the apex of the corner. Also the brake upgrade helped with apex entry.
Cross your fingers about the brake fluid flush. BMW is always over engineered. Without the power brake bleed you may end up with air bubbles stuck in the system. You may be fine but best to get the dealership to bleed the system b4 tracking. I'm a mechanic with my own garage. Not that I know more than you, but I do have some experience with BMW and these types of things. Stoked on the build!!!
Great project. But shouldn't the slot on the disk go other direction? t shold be different between left and right side and the slots bend toward back side.
Dude the OMP M Rain is SOOOO good!! It's the tiny little touches that brings builds together and they fit the aesthetic of the M2 perfect. 100% get the non halo for the other side!
Its very common for bmw to have big brakes up front and the tiniest in the rear, is the weight difference that big that its useless to have a 4pot in the rear?
Doesn't he have another 2j somewhere that he didn't know wat to do with. I'm sure he didn't sale it. He holds a lot of stuff he is not like most u tubers that just sale and move on.
Ya he dicho muchas veces que pareis y a quien quiero ver.. Que hay que hacer.. Si eres tu y por lo que parece ser si, eres quien lleva las riendas y no dejas a la gente.. Tu tambien deberas cumplir... Y seguis.. Yo no tengo por estar en estas condiciones de manipulacion.. Y te recordaria unas palabras del piso de duquesa de parcent..
You need JQ works paddle shifters. They are completely completely game changing for the DCT. You should also get a Turner differential brace and Turner polyurethane subframe bushings. They make the transmission sound crazy and you notice it. Right off the bat it reduces wheel hop.
I know you like the JDM stuff, and I did too, but try Ferodo pads. You will be blown away by how much better and longer lasting they are. For 200TW tires, give the DS1.11 a shot. They last forever and have so much stopping power. I use them on my GT4, coming from Hondas, and S2000’s mainly.
BMW only sold 11,000 of these last year. Maybe because they’re so damn expensive. I’m not a doctor or a dentist or a RU-vidr so this car doesn’t appeal to me.
As someone on the opposite side of the spectrum (I'm a Bimmer guy now getting into JDM stuff) I fully agree with the seat choice. Good work as usual. 🤙
It was nice seeing raw car-modding footage, reminded me of the your old WRX days and reminds me back to the root reason of upgrading cars in the first place and enjoying the process💯
