About the audio: We boosted the audio as much as possible. Any higher and the ambient noise was also getting elevated quite a lot. The recorder is (and has always been) set to auto-compress/limit. It works great 90% of the time, but some cars (911s/flat 6 engines, and BMWs) have a tone that seems to reach the mic more than a V8, or I-4. So the recorder is "hearing" all this high frequency noise, and it turns down its sensitivity, making it hard to hear our voices over the engine. Editing 911 videos is always a nightmare, for this reason.

What a machine, can't imagine mine with 600bhp!!! Awesome

[louispadron]

I have this tune on my M2C and it’s absolutely fantastic... more than just an engine remap - the “drift angle threshold” for example has been changed (increased) the ABS - EDIff - Traction control etc have all been remapped to accommodate the added power... Noelle Performance FTW!

I've got a cheap 228i and it drives really nice, think the 2 series platforms great

[alanprobsten]

I wish I could crawl in the video and shift. That was brutal

[dcpk]

Marc Norris has been around for a bit and is one of the nicest guys in the Los Angeles BMW community.

[NvrDwn]

My very first car was a Focus ZX3 and i did soft springs/shocks with the biggest anti-roll bars i could find and it was amazing.

[Dutchboysracing]

Marc is an absolute legend. Awesome video, if I didnt have my 2008 E92 m3 I'd absolutely get a M2

[cava]

Have you guys ever considered omitting the always super-awkward handshake at the beginning?

[evanswift]

this owner knows his stuff. Sounds like a great dude

[nms]

Dude! Up shift please. It was painful to hear the car in that awkward, non accelerating mid RPMs.

[grabir]

Truly the king of error code generators.

[manqobanqobzi]

Good choice going for the manual. Makes it more fun

[ctm]

I drive the piss out of mine and it just takes it. Love this car. Keeping it for as long as possible.

[glyph]

Well I guess this is why I woke up at five in the morning, better than coffee☕️

[RetrocarStyle]

Man..the engine/exhaust note sounds so much like a Porsche!!!

[Braselton]

My Summer Camp is on that Road 😀 Such a lovely road to drive on but if you get it wrong....

[doublenikesocks]

What’s been done to the exhaust? Sounds much better than a stock M2 comp/M3/M4

[michaelhowatt]

The argument goes back to the 70 Camaro vs 70 Trans Am. The TA had softer springs and stiffer bars the Camaro had the opposite and most people thought the TA was better for the street.

[johnnygeorgopoulos]

Love the M2, but please Zach, shift, every one of these with you driving is just you in one gear with both hands tightly around the wheel 😅
