The bmw M1 coupe has a "straight six" where the M2 has a 3 liter turbo "Inline six!" Is it just me, or does this guy sound as if he doesn't know inline and straight 6 is the same thing.

What a great car. Would buy one over an S3 / RS3 anyday..!!!

That's real carbon fiber. Instead of the typical glossy CF, this is open pore CF. They put REAL carbon fiber and people complain about it being cheap plastic. Cracks me up.

Only the British would think a Jag has a better engine than a BMW. Hahahahahaahahahahah.

Just picked mine up today!!!!

Changing my S3 for an M2 this week...... any report on the toys in the car?

and the music is terrible.

When i look at a review i look first of the person whos reviewing this guy its cool i like it ! subscribed

i have the same love my M2 super car !! in LOVE (370hp) (manually :) from 2018

I agree with almost everything reviewer said (apart from the jaguar comment), there's alot to love about the car, but there are undoubtedly a few flaws as well. Interior is definitely what lets the car down.

Is it me or the BMW M2 sounds better than the M3/M4?

Just a tip: to reach greatness you need better audio: love you videos best of luck!

fuck i want this car. Id trade my gti mk7 for this

Nice review

this should have been the real "M3" the new one is just so big, heavy, and its own little brother the M2 is faster / just as fast in most driving applications. hope they take their learnings in the M2 and put them into the next gen M4/M3

Terrific review. Love your honesty. Most other reviews sound like paid advertisement for BMW. :) Having amazing driving feel through the steering wheel lIS important. To me. In any car. Which is why I've never truly liked driving/owning JP cars. There's usually a disconnected feel to the road. They're reliable. Can handle reasonably well. But they usually lack the "hand to steering wheel to road connection". That the M2 you say has and most 911's. And the M2's engine was tuned for the street (everywhere else that has no Autobahn or easy access to a race track w/ "track days" for average drivers). Would I buy a M2? Maybe. One thing that bugs me is the "roundness" of the taillights when I first saw the M2 in photos and KZfaq videos. Maybe it was the camera angles. In this video the taillights look less "round" ("cute", feminine). It's growing on me. :)

best m2 review so far

The audio isn't too great on this vid but nice review all the same.

yeah you went with a manual transmission good going

The material is good but why can't you guys turn off the annoying music when he starts talking and when displaying the exhaust notes?

Where is Rory?

Absolutely stunning car to look at, and the drive/handling is quite clearly excellent, but the BMW engineers blew it with the interior and the synthesised exhaust sound. The RS3 is nowhere near as attractive, and the drive isn't quite as good, but the performance, interior, and sensational exhaust note puts the M2 in the shade.

Like the review but dont agree about the interior comment. When he said thst the interior should be better quality for £40k, 40k for an m car is very very cheap and if they made the interior better quality the price would be 20k more and so if you want thst then buy an m5

textured plastic? isnt that carbon fiber?

Why is efficiency and refinement a bad thing? Its a luxury brand not an american brand that only cares about putting the most HP possible on the biggest V8 you can find

would you have this or the m4 for a fun daily?

would you have this in a manual or double clutch?

Haha tiring to drive. There's just no pleasing people

anybody else notice the fml in the license plate

why so much hate towards the m4?

Turbos are great for making power and everyone knows that. Also a fact, turbos suck, break, leak or get unbalanced. In the future we'll hear about cars like this with turbo issues and the crazy cost to fix them. You can read consumer reports about the issues with 4 cylinder cars having this issues now. Look it up! Buyer beware!!!

0-100 in the m2 is the same as a base Porsche 718 boxster 2.0

m1 straight 6 m2 inline 6 LOLOL same shit

Cool car, boring review.

718 Cayman >

love the front but over all car is kind of boring.

That doesn't come close to the focus RS

#bringbackrory

Manual had novelty factor but auto is superior on every way. What you are doing 3500 rpm at 80mph in the manual on longer journeys you'll wish you had the auto.

Ashtanga

The fake carbon fiber is terrible. Why bother?

The Bmw M4 its great and better , the M2 its just the hype of something new.... M4 all the day
