Great videos, awesome editing. love the xbox achievements

[@JoeLamOfficial]

Thanks so much! Glad you like it. Thanks again for checking out my video!

0:50 that engine sounds absolutely f***ed. What's happened to it?

[@thandomthembu4913]

Woow. Great video. Did your tyres get any flat spots as they say happens in storage or you prevented that how? I'm thinking of finding more car stoarge tips.

[@JoeLamOfficial]

Visually they looked OK but I haven't taken it on the road yet. I tend to over-inflate them a little if I know that it's going to be parked up for a while.

[@thandomthembu4913]

@@JoeLamOfficial Oh, over inflation helps in that regard?

[@JoeLamOfficial]

@@thandomthembu4913 I think it helps. Naturally it will loose air over time, so that should give it a buffer but also making it stiffer so hopefully will help. Not by much though! Check the max rated tyre pressure on the side wall too. But I only add a bit more than the standard or go with the full passenger + cargo recommended PSI/Bar label.

Did you remove the battery terminals.

[@JoeLamOfficial]

Hi there. No I didn't. It's still connected.

[@timdmx512]

good to know. I live in Shanghai and am thinking of doing the same with my Range rover back in the UK;.when I come back in AUG for a few months. does the M2 have one battery or two?

[@JoeLamOfficial]

Nice. Hopefully everything will be in better shape in August. BMW M2? Just one as far as I know. 🤔

[@YuennyLam]

Good it still starts 😁

[@JoeLamOfficial]

Can't believe the last time we went out was for the track day!

Can you give me some tips on parallel parking

[@JoeLamOfficial]

Oh probably a bit difficult to explain in text format. :/ Are you learning to drive?

[@SuperMadpom]

Hi Joe I need a new charger for the tiny AGM Odyssey race battery in my MK1 Elise. I have an older CTEK type charger that will do bike or car but if I get a power cut however brief I find it resets itself and stops charging the battery could you test that for me on your charger? I may just have to get the CTEK Bluetooth monitor for it. Thanks.

[@JoeLamOfficial]

What model is your CTEK charger? If it's AGM, then you might need a newer type charger with that mode or if its fairly recent, it's equiv. to the snowflake mode. They changed it to the AGM mode later.

[@pequod1]

Just have it serviced and perform normal maintenance at correct intervals; it will be absolutely fine. t. engineer

[@JoeLamOfficial]

Hi there. Thanks for the input. Last time I did a full service and went for a track day, then everything stopped until now. Obviously haven't done many miles but probably good idea to refresh the oil or are modern oils fine for a long time...

[@Stuart3162]

@@JoeLamOfficial oil should be changed every 2 years according to the manual

[@JoeLamOfficial]

@@Stuart3162 i guess it’s a case of whichever comes first even if it’s not driven much.

[@411dify]

The real question is, why haven’t you drive your M3 more often?? 😅
