Philip is an amazing guy, saved my butt last year when I had a bit of a "situation". And the M2 is just as beautiful IRL as it is in the video. If there's one man I would trust to turn my car into the perfect track tool, it would be Philip. In another life, I'd apply for an apprenticeship at his garage.

BMW guys be like: let me tell you the time when Philip saved my TF weekend! 😂👏

[@TheTechnoaddict]

The work that went into this car is just insane! What a build!😍

[@BTGDale]

Yeah, the lights have been burning all night, many, many times!

[@AxelEspxnur]

The last videos of the channel, it is being very very good, congratulations

[@viktorb9022]

I love the ac compressor getting switched off at 90% gas!

[@m2comp369]

580 HP and 800 NM but, more surprisingly, not a single comment below on the Crank Hub!! An amazing example of what the M2 can become with strategic mods. Awesome Vid!

[@embee1706]

Even though my dream car is still a GT3 RS, I'd definitely take this M2 as a Ringtool over any Porsche. Philipp has created an absolutely bonkers machine and I love it!

[@BTGDale]

Couldn't agree more!

[@richardbeaumont5358]

Great video Dale. The car is incredibly stable at speed. Hr Weber has put together a wonderful package there.

[@BTGDale]

Couldn't agree more! It's the polar opposite of the Alfa...

[@martinguyexjr]

gorgeous, attention to detail gives me a serious trouser crisis

[@Jimladvw]

What a character! Incredible car 👍🏼🤩

[@081588101]

Dale almost speaking perfect german now after all that time... :D

[@BTGDale]

Almost... but not.

Trick piece of kit. Lovely.

Glad you like it!

That looked like fun! Cheers!

It was!

[@davidk8411]

Awesome!

[@BTGDale]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@florian_montuzet]

Philipp is a awsome builder, kind person and really fast driver as well! Great review, i love your content lately. Maybe you should cutting him of less 🙂.

[@clm7169]

Impressive!

[@BTGDale]

Yep, I wasn't even scratching the surface of what this car can really do!

[@paul.harvey]

Looks a mega ring tool 💪👍🏁

[@BTGDale]

It is! You'd love it! Fire and forget, stable, fast... lap it all week.

[@paul.harvey]

@@BTGDale sounds fantastic to experience. And the build has been properly thought through.

[@dafrasier1]

BMW needs upgrades for Ring, Porsche ready to go, no changes needed. My M2 Comp needed sport suspension upgrade for Ring. my Boxster S was Factory good for Ring.

[@TheSpragz]

I like how eccentric he is. 😂

[@MrLeccyt]

Holy moly

[@BTGDale]

It's got some poke, right?

[@adamkelsall3942]

Please can you ask Mr Weber how we can get one of those brilliant Jo Winkelhock style front splitters? Phillipp seems to have disappeared from Instagram...

[@Russ247music]

Great video thanks Dale 😎🤣

[@happybeerlove]

🤣 What was your favourite part?

[@Russ247music]

[@BTGDale]

LOL!

[@adamkelsall3942]

Apart from the charge cooler, what engine modifications does this car have to make 580bhp whilst retaining the exhaust OPF (and I assume cats to stay road legal)? Sounds like it has a plated diff rather than the electronic M thing.

[@twanvorstenbosch]

wow phillip created a monster 😍

[@BTGDale]

A monster knows how to make a monster... and destroy one! ;)

You know it! ;)

[@mokr2100]

Phillipp ist einfach ein cooler Typ

[@BTGDale]

Cool as a cucumber.

[@DutchFocusST]

I love this car so so much! This would be a worthy upgrade for my Focus, if i've ever had the amount of money one would cost me! What makes a GT3RS so hard to drive Dale? Is it all the weight that's in te back?

[@BTGDale]

A GT3RS, like nearly every high-end sportscar these days, becomes a real handful near the limit. The trend these days if for cars to have a lot of power, a lot of weight, and then rely on rubber and suspension. When you race cars like the GT4 Cayman they feel floaty because they're so fast but don't get much aero. It's the same with the GT3RS - you start hitting sections so fast that you soon realise you're entering with GT3 racecar speeds, but trying to navigate it through with street car grip and aero. It gets 'edgy'... mistakes happen fast and harder to correct. Adding more rubber and aero makes it easier again

[@farturinn]

how is the rear brake pad wear (and disc wear) with that traction control working overtime ;)

[@BTGDale]

I would imagine that it's somewhere between horrendous, and dreadful! :D

[@HighLifeGermany]

Weber compared to Schirmer? Which one is "better"? Which one is faster?

[@BTGDale]

Different price point. Different running costs. Different methodology. That's possibly a whole video on its own!

[@JosephKotrieMonson]

Which are the better band - the Beatles or the Sex Pistols? 😂

[@JeremiBulakowski]

Is Philipp okay and just completely disappeared from social media?

[@vuatocdo1]

How much is this car please? I think I like it 😁👍❤️

[@BTGDale]

About €100k... See the end of the video for more prices 😎👍

[@lukecustoms]

This is Touristenfahrten-this is not racing 😂 Wait a second.... TF is 3x more racing than an actual VLN/ NLS race! 😂🙈

[@BTGDale]

Yeah, I have noticed that. And believe me, the Nürburgring management have noticed too... :|

[@sparkplug964]

That is a nice M2 Track weapon, would I spend £100K on it, no, I would buy a second hand GT3 RS?

[@BTGDale]

And that's why we all have different cars at every trackday/TF :)

[@peterdelamare]

You won’t get a GT3 RS for £100k though, 991 or 997. Maybe a 996, and then you’ll definitely be slower.

[@sparkplug964]

​@@peterdelamare Maybe but a GT3 is always be a better investment, and it's not all to do with power, it how the car drives and how it make you feel which is important, the 3 engine noise alone is worth the money?

[@peterdelamare]

@@sparkplug964 I agree. You’re still not getting one for 100k though. The €100k M2 in Sterling is £87k.
