I love my M2 (n55) more than anything. With Recaros, the right tires (Cup2 265/295) and a good suspension, this car is soooooo good. For the money, there is nothing better to buy. I also have a manual M2 and love the gearbox. I drive the car a lot on the racetrack and have never missed the DKG. Next week a short shifter kit from Autosolutions will be fitted to the car. 25% shift travel reduction (based on Porsche GT3 gearbox). I'm very excited to see how it drives

I haven't driven an M2 manual, but I previously had an E46 M3 and I installed a 30% reduction autosolutions shifter. It was a big improvement, but I'm hooked on DCT. Definitely do the CDV delete while you are at it.

Congratulations on getting your car back on the road. Well done Swift Performance. I have a 2020 M2C DCT Hockenheim Silver so I especially enjoy this series. I previously had an E46 M3 6MT. I did a CDV delete and installed a 30% reduction autosolutions shifter. Even with those improvements, I don't miss the manual a bit. I'm a huge fan of DCT.

I’ve come close a couple of times to sell my M2c. Then I do a track day in it and it surprises me just how quickly I’m going. It’s 10mph faster at the same point as my 46m3 at Anglesey. Doesn’t sound a lot but it feels bloody fast! I find it to be the antidote of a shitty week…. Seeing that smirk, yes a smirk back on your face just tells me that M2c of yours is pressing those FUN buttons just as mine does for me! A cracking car and well sorted by masters of the craft at SP. Now, just drive it’s socks off 😎

100% that shifter contributed to the money shift. From what I hear the best oem-ish shifter is the auto solutions, looks the same, shortens the shift, you can select how tall you want it to be and improves the feel. Or CAE but I feel with the CAE you still increase the chances of money shifting

I've recently taken the clutch delay valve out've my Golf R along with a travel stop and assist spring removal and it is loads better. Makes me wonder why they do it, i also think it contributes to wearing out the standard clutches when driving spiritidly as it allows that moment of slip.

Hi Joe, Great video and lovely car, definitely a dream build. A few questions regarding the shifter and the CDV delete: Would you say the tighter bushing has made the shiftaction heavier? Or just more precise? Did you only do the rear bush, or also the front bush? I want to upgrade the shifter bushings in my M140i, but I don't want to end up with a box that feels too heavy (as i think the standard box, purely in terms of shift "weight", is quite well judged). Regarding the CDV delete, how has it changed the driving experience for you? Some people say it makes shifting much more precise, others say it doesn't do much. Would be great to have your, always realistic, view on things:) Personally I think that in the m140i the shifting in the lower gears tends to be a little jerky (compared to for example a manual Mk 7 GTI), I wonder if the CDV delete does anything to resolve this. Hope you find some time to give your feedback!
