Your passion for this car definitely shows, I think the smiles it brings are far more important than any miles per gallon!

Picked up a late 2016 OG M2, 1 lady owner from new, 25,900 miles, FSH, about 2 months ago. They are still holding value quite well, even the highest mileage examples were £24,000+, I paid £28.749. After previously owning a tuned M140i (455bhp/634nm), which was an absolute missile in a straight line, this OG M2 is on another level for steering feel, balance, chassis dynamics, cornering, and damping/handling, even if it is a fair bit slower than my M140i. The M140i was a wobbly, snaking under acceleration, pogo-ing over bumps, boring looking hatchback. The OG M2 is a superb looking, superb handling, coupe. Love it.

Superb video, really well done, I've owned one for 3 years and absolutely love it.

Every time I watch one of these reviews it edges me closer and closer to pull the trigger and get an M2C. Brilliant review.

I just brought a M2…..remapped….running at 400bhp and on coilovers….2017 plate with just over 40,000 miles….it’s took my two weeks to get used to it but I love it now. I have my bmw e60 M5 and I’m sorry to say as much as technology has moved on I just can’t get the same love/feel I get with the M2 compared to the M5. Great review and if you ever wanted to do a video on both of them and a review your more than welcome. 👍

A very well articulated review Bex. After watching this I get the slight impression that you really, really love the M2 and I don't blame you. Good to hear you added the comment about rear wheel drive in the snow. Although I have a 4x4 I'd still prefer to be in front of the fire than driving in the snow, no point in risking some unplanned non designed aero modifications to the cars bodywork as there are plenty of other drivers who have no idea how to drive in those conditions. Tuck the M2 in the garage where she's safe and sound. A great balanced review with both the good and the could do better aspects of the car. Well don Bex!

I just discovered your channel because I'm thinking about getting an M2. Great review, keep it going, you got yoursellf a new subscriber!

I just got an OG M2 in the exact same spec as yours. Spot on review. Also it’s not the MPG that’s the problem, it’s the small tank! That’s why we’re always at the gas station, we just don’t hold as much fuel

Getting this car in few days and I can’t wait! Thanks for a great review!

Channel deserves so much more recognition, Video with your M2 and my A45 👀

Great review. Love the car!! Looks good x

My base m2 is the perfect daily driver. Intake, blue spark performance tune, and Thor DCT tune. AST 5300 suspension on the most least stiff setting for daily use. Loud enough, not too loud. I want to stop putting miles on it because I decide to keep it after all.

Best car I have ever owned my m2 competition stock exhaust the sound is naff on the comp but I am quite happy with it now I have put the scorpion axle back on. If I was buying cash I probably would have gone og and saved the cash but when I bought mine I got 2.9% apr on the pcp and with the way the market has gone I am still in positive equity after a year without putting a deposit in which is unheard of I can’t see me getting rid of it anytime soon it is such a good all rounder

i dream to upgrade from my 135i one day to a m2. honestly if you don't want a different exhaust or coil overs, just get a MHD tune and drive it spiritedly. i would get some black or carbon tips. good job. looks mint!

I've got a 2017 M2 with a full DINAN setup (Turbo 446 hp, Coil Overs, Intercooler). Your review is dead on good. Thank you.

OG definitely sounds better than the competition! I think the LCI like you have is a good choice. I think a 981 Cayman S/GTS is a better car in near enough every way, though. Have a drive in one if you haven't 🙂

Great video I do however need to correct you on a couple of points. The DCT as far as I'm informed isn't better than the ZF8 that's been put in the newest M cars, also the M240i has the B58 not the N55. You're on about the M235i. Glad to see you enjoying your M2.

Nice review Bex.👍

The M2 F87 is a really good car, but I’m looking forward to the G87 M2 next year at least.

People who say this isn't a real M car probably spin out their M4 every other weekend. There's a reason these hold their value like crazy versus an M4 that nobody wants.

Great review, loved my old m2 ... engine from 235 not 240 isn't it

Of course it is a real M performance car!

👏

I thought the DCT gearbox was replaced by the ‘improved’ ZF8 which they now use in the latest M cars

how does this comapre to your TTRS? i have a TTRS too and thinking i might try one of these next year

N55 is In the 35i, b58 is 40i

I just sold my stage 2 m2 for a supercharged c63 running 705bhp I loved the m2 but the n55 just wasn’t strong enough for me. Bmw should have put the b58 in the m2 then I would of kept it. But saying that I do miss the DCT and the handling.

Manual box over SMG

Prefer 981 Cayman or Boxster GTS to M2. May be I'm biased.

Its amazing how a thumbnail can influence you to give up 20 mins of your time 🤣

It's not the engine from the M240i... It's from the M235i

15.9 mpg! Ouch 😳

I thought theses were good on petrol 🤔

I think I would go for a 1M over the standard M2.

Of course the girl gets the dct.

Awful number plate though bex why make the car look like a 16 plate 😭😭
