thats really awesome is the exhaust on both cars also stock? my girlfriend has a a35 amg she definately needs this
I'm looking at getting a denim blue Edition 1! such a beautiful sporty car ,kills the golf r,gti,i30n etc . Merc interiors are next level ! So in sports+ mode U get more pops and bangs ?
Yes that’s right - more pops in sports+!
I now own shavs a35 but its all back to stock
Haha it’s a small world! Great car.
Im on MST intake and im contemplating to get the eventuri with turbo inlet. My concern will be the same as MST if i were to upgrade to the eventuri ones. Aside the looks im looking at gains. My car is running stage 1 and a akra exhaust. Maybe you can explain more. Dyno charts are very variable. Maybe like unbiased review/pov will be great from you
I can only give my experience on it, I could definitely feel the difference with this on, not just the extra little bit of power, it was more the top end freeing up and even better was the sound! But I’m comparing vs Stock and I have no idea how it would compare against MST if I’m honest.
N55 not one of BMW's great engine's a lot of weak points. Charge pipe breaking and detaching from the inter cooler, water pump failure, valve cover oil leak, leaking oil filter housing gasket, vanos solenoid failure, hpfp failure but that mainly on the older models. No forged internals so it not capable of producing much more power from stock reliably we'll have fun.
Sounds like another bitter fake M car owner
Cool. Well it was fine for me, problems with anything if you look hard enough.
@@UnderTheBonnet yeah that's true but with the n55b30to you really don't have to look that hard
@@defyyourlogic487 IAM happy with my m140i I have best of both daily and track and that bulletproof of a engine b58 which if I'm not mistaken replaced the n55b30to which is in the M2
@Yhyujss as long as you’re happy 😂
Hallo Habt ihr schon mal das neue Modell (Mopf 2023) vom A35 gemessen, der hat ja jetzt ein 48 Volt Mildhybrid - System mit zusätzlichen 14 PS zur Unterstützung aus dem unteren Drehzahlbereich. Have you ever measured the new model (Mopf 2023) of the A35, which now has a 48 volt mild hybrid system with an additional 14 hp to support the lower speed range.
No sorry not measured the new one!
Gibt es auch schon eine Ausführung für das neue 2023 - Modell, also die mit 48 Volt Unterstützung (Hybridvariante) vom A 35 AMG.
Would be interesting to see if it makes any more power and how it reacts to kids like this
Love the new G87 M2. Don't like the old 1M it's ugly as hell. I realise I'm in a minority. I think the OG M2 is the best looking 🙂 so much so I bought one myself !
I agree mate 😂
Just got an OG M2, late 2016, 1 owner from new, 25,900 miles. Loving it !
Nice! Long beach blue too I see!
Will the eventuri turbo pipe fit the mst air intake?
No idea
oke the a35 sound better than a a45s lol😅
Haha they are definitely slightly different sounds! Still would love to try an A45s
@@UnderTheBonnet you should for me the A45S is after the c63s coupe and the amg gt NOT SEDANs!(sedan sucks only straight good) The best AMG for track and fun stuf. The others are for just for regular drivers.
i got like around 350bhp but its an issue because cant remap, as its over boosting from stock. and i think this is why most of them have head issues.
Can’t really comment - mine was fine, but I changed into a different car back in 2021 so not sure what they are like long term reliability wise out of warranty
Any of you got the standard airbox I just need the bottom half cheers
nice sound. Really what mods in the exhaust ?
Stock exhaust
Meh… i still prefer the stock sound from my good old 2017 GLA45
Fair enough but that was before GPFs were mandatory - so comparing Apples and Pears
Have a good M2 life !
Does this need a tune or effect warranty?
Doesn’t need a tune and if you don’t tune it doesn’t impact warranty.
As someone who just collected an F87 M2 I fell your excitement. Great vibe!
Haha thank you man! Honestly was so excited! Great way to collect a car too haha
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Nice vid. Like product placement: Ray-Ban :)
Was it that obvious? 👀😂
Awesome video
Thank you brother!!
my Tesla is faster :D
There’s always one. 😂🤣
My Tesla is even faster
Amazing video! Amazing insight and just the banter is class 🔥👏🏽 hopefully more videos to come!
Definitely more to come!!!
Really interesting to see what happens behind the scenes
I know right!! Thank you brother!! 🙌🙌
Haha fast and furious runway 😂😂
I had to do it 😂😂😂😂
Which is your favourite M2? Also don’t forget to subscribe - road to 500🎉🎉
The comp obviously
Great video mate! Nice to meet you😁
Was great to meet you too! We’ll keep repping the older M2s! 😁😅
oh, 100% - the OG M2 will always have a special place! @@UnderTheBonnet
Can you recommend a black (not carbon) rear wing for a black A35.Thanks
Not sure to be honest but there must be somewhere online!! Don’t think they’ll be a big cost difference, that’s why I went carbon
Can I get the eventuri for my a35!!? I’m from India btw!
Hopefully you can get it shipped there! 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Awesome video man, I am hoping to do the same thing with the exact same year M2 either spring 24 if the country hasnt fallen out its ass, or spring 25 if it has lol. Cannot wait. Enjoy the absolute gem. Definitely controversial on the grills, they are WAY nicer in black imo but you do you man its your car you gotta do what YOU want not what other people do haha.
Thank you so much man - appreciate your comment, defo a trip worth doing it was great fun!! …and still kept the chrome grills for now 😂😂
stock exhaust
Yep!
Was it on PCP and returned early?
PCH - it was a lease and 2 year lease ended and handed back
But what was the power increase?
Peak/Max difference was about 7hp, but that’s not the whole story, actually increased up to 30hp vs stock at peak revs (6k onwards) - the stock air box was most restrictive at the top end, look at the graph around 6.50 in the video. - this is with no re-map or other mods obv. Bilal summaries it well at 7min onwards.
@@UnderTheBonnetso jus with the intake it added 30hp? Also what other mods would you recommend for this to make nice power without affecting any reliability of the car? I’m thinking about getting one and want some nice power
Remap will give you the most power
So how much bhp gain was there?

Looks awesome sounds great 2, what about a250e, already have racechip for it, but would eventuri intake fit there 2 without modification, if anyone knows?
I’m not sure to be honest, I doubt it would fit but check on the eventuri website or contact them.
AMG interior away nicer, M2 looks very poor compared to the Merc!
Interesting you say this, online and on video the A35 interior looks so much better, it is a newer car. BUT in person, living with both, the A35 felt cheaper and the M2 is built better, less squeaks and rattles even though it’s an older car. Still I love the lights of the A35 haha - I want both! 😂
New Merc fells and looks so much cheaper and so much buttons and screens then this generation.
Anyone know if this would fit the 2019 A220 sedan ???? They do have the same engines so I’m just curious.
A220 sedan as a different engine to the A35 - so probably won’t fit
Amazing video hope you will be posting more content soon
Thank you man!! Yes I do want to post again this summer!! An update video, nearly 18months on
Does it void the car warranty?
No, it’s plug and play. Its a tune or a GPF/OPF delete that will mess around with your warranty
Prefer the sleeper look.
I agree.
Great video mate looking at the a35 currently. Was deciding if it was worth getting a non aero pack and then fitting after to keep cost of the monthly's down. Keep up the good work.
Thanks man - I do know people that have done that and it worked for them - if it was me I would make sure to go for the premium pack to include the big 10.25inch screens and ambient lights at least, makes a HUGE diff. My opinion is the additional aero pack cost is less of an issue when you consider the residual/resale value after your finance agreement anyway - aero cars are always more sort after and worth more. In short I’d pay the cost upfront and not think about retrofitting it to save hassle but you gotta do what’s best for you man!! It’s a brilliant car either way
When i got my a35, it didn't come with an aero pack. I noticed when i was going at upwards of 100km on the highway, i could feel the front wheels lift a bit. I ended up purchasing a brabus aero kit for the car. Problem solved. So i would say, yes, the aero kit is worth it.
Interesting…definitely didn’t happen to me in my non-aero at any speed - Aerokit is purely for aesthetics - I’m fact additional downforce in the rear would theoretically increase lift no?
@@UnderTheBonnet you thinking wing.. i have the front lip and canards
Have you any problems with the sunroof?
I only had it for a few days so I can’t comment - if I was looking for a used example i would defo go pan roof! It’s amazing
*I've got the same car. I put on the carbon kidney grills, and the M3 style mirror caps (they look bitchin' and more aggressive!) KW lowering springs gives it that nice, aggressive stance and better handling. Replaced the rear boot-spoiler with a slightly taller carbon one called a 'High Kick'. Also, added the DINAN exhaust system which sounds AMAZING.* *I think the DINAN system sounds better than the M Performance exhaust, personally. It's noticeably DEEPER and throatier (sounds more like a V8) and a real head-turner. I also think it sounds a bit more exotic as well. Here's a great sound capture of the DINAN exhaust in action! kzread.info/dash/bejne/lHuJ0o-Kn7StebA.html Congrats man!*
That sounds like some great mods man!! Exhaust is 👌👌
I did the reverse! Picked my M2 up in London and drove back to Belfast
Haha no way!!! That’s hilarious 😂 - either way it’s a great journey!
How does it compare to the A35?
Good question - it’s very different from the way it drives, definitely a better handling and riding car. Crazy that this handles bumps and roads better than the hatch! Easily more powerful, but in winter can barely put down the power when tyres are cold, which is most of the time when living in London. In summer it’s great though! A35 was fine whatever time of year. Also A35 interior was so beautiful looking with the lighting even if it’s a cheaper built cabin than the M2. Still M2 is just a better car overall and has more of a WOW factor, it’s also much much louder stock!
How were Bavarian to deal with? Good experience? Did you go there because of the spec of the car, price, or a different reason?
Amazing service to be honest - I went there for the spec and price - really good value for an approved used M2 at the time. Even with the flight there and drive back it was so worth it!
Brilliant video enjoy the mighty m2, I've owned one for over 3 years and it was the best car I've ever owned and driven.
Thank you!
Smashed it man! Congrats on the car! Also your videos are just getting better and better. Keep up the good work and post more videos!!!
Thank you man!!! Appreciate it - will defo be getting more vids out!
Welcome to the M2 world mate - that looked like a hard journey home!
Wasn’t a walk in the park for sure but such an awesome experience flying to collect a car and then driving back home! Felt like my own Petrolheads tour 😂😂
