BMW M2 (G87) | BEST RWD performance car for the money?

Рет қаралды 12,773

Күн бұрын

The 2023 BMW M2 sport coupe is a complete monster out on the canyon roads! Awesome performance, features and yes… even a good design! This is our first BMW here on Drive Culture and it did NOT disappoint!
Are you guys fans of this second gen M2 or do you like the first gen M2 better? Also, if you were to buy this new M2 would you opt for the amazing Carbon Package?
Let us know down in the comments are you going for this or something like the Audi RS3 or Mercedes AMG CLA35!

100% best performance car for the money. If you want a well rounded vehicle with high performance, BMW is really leading in the dept. The S58 is the new 2JZ.

how is this better than ZL1 1LE, or even a C7Z07? value for dollar

@NCM89747 12 күн бұрын

@@Rabbit.Hole.Racing. well when the g80 m3 competition x drive can turn awd off and beat the ZL1 in a drag race when it not only has four doors and can seat a family of four comfortably, its the superior vehicle because it can do it all. Comparing it to predominantly 2 seaters or the camaro which doesnt have much room back there, it not only beats it there but also is much safer in all weather conditions. So there is your answer. M3 g80 beats every car in it’s class.

@@NCM89747 good point. i actually had to go back and read the initial comment about a well rounded car. i stand corrected in that regard. my response was more track car focused and obviously the two aforementioned are well above the g80

@NCM89747 12 күн бұрын

@@Rabbit.Hole.Racing. sure. I will give you that. Although if we really want to have this discussion, the g82 m4 CSL would be the contender. Two doors, rwd, no rear seats. Comes with helmets. Etc.

Totally agree with your comparison of the front/rear design strengths/weaknesses between the F87 and G87. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone else make that point. I thought I was the only one.

@Drive_Culture 26 күн бұрын

Thanks for the comment & feedback! Yeah I’m hoping to do a review of the F87 at some point soon, I’ll be curious if the design alone can win me over!

I ordered the M2 (Brooklyn grey cuz I love those extreme exterior lines) with Driver package to higher to max speed. Reason? It’s a damn sports car - even on German autobahn I won’t drive 177mph often, but it’s important to know that I would be able to 😅

They need to do a lightweight package with rear seat delete, carbon hood and trunk lid, delete sound deadening and stereo. Just sayin.

Thanks for the comment! Seeing how they haven’t launched a Competition or CS Package for G87, maybe they do just that!?

Bhrahh. Have you checked the Integra Type S pricing for the vehicle and accessories 😮 … this is a steal man for all you get comparatively speaking IMHO

@Drive_Culture 26 күн бұрын

Thanks for the comment & feedback! Yes, I own an ITS with the accessories, but against this car it’s still more than $15k cheaper. That said, I think for the performance you get here, the M2 is a bargain against something like a loaded up Cayman!

@ozzystable 26 күн бұрын

I hear you but to make my point again you get so much more for that 15K. V6 with a lot more power, Leather, 2 power carbon seats, larger powerful brakes, carbon roof (Acura wants 2k just for a deck spoiler), MT, premium interior with huge screen ..need a magnifying glass to see the Integras …very basic in comparison. Brother I can go on and on. Very ambitious pricing structure for the Type S by Acura …trying to milk on Type S cache …well the M2 aint half bad in that regard either. Don’t get me wrong the Type S is a phenomenal drivers car ..but pricing and amenities for it are a bit far fetched and dare say greedy 😮. No disrespect intended just how I feel. Was on the list for one and have an FK8 (you probably recognize my comments by now!!) God Bless

Beautiful car into think that some idiots pay this kind of money with markup for civic type R. You gotta be out of your mind to buy a civic over this BMW. But then world is full of stupid people….

@Drive_Culture 23 күн бұрын

Thanks for the comment & feedback! While there may have been some dealers that had crazy markups out there, have you confirmed that people paid that? I’m on several actual CTR owner’s forums and it seems that if there’s a markup at all, most people paid $5-10k over, so low $50ks which is still a lot less than the M2.
