M2 is OK ... But Vicki is pure GOLD. 👠👠👁👁👄

Vicki the original good to see you back

Thanks Vicki…we need more videos like this…great to have you back! You and Harry M are the best by a Mile!

Vicky!! I am more than thrilled to see you have your own channel. Amazing! Missed your quirky reviews

Thanks Vicki! I have been waiting for your return! We know who the real high performance compact is! 😉

Triple black helps hide the weird body kit!

Always a joy seeing you at work, you are in your own league, thanks.

Vicki butler-Henderson I adore your style of presentation and also still gorgeous ❤

Vicki always delivers quality, thank you! Makes me want an old M2.

I'm a die-hard manual fan but like you said, manuals are often an afterthought in recent times and are usually compromised. I wish they'd take time to develop them to be like an MX5 or Civic Type R to work harmoniously with the car, which is why we enjoy them so much!

VBH is one of THE most entertaining motoring journalists EVER and just as gorgeous as ever!! What a lady!! ❤

The OG car girl is back, but this quality film is way too short, we need more Vicki

Welcome back 😊

Excellent video. What a stunning car. Brilliant footage

Fantastic video VBH , glad to see you back 🙏.

Fantastic review Vicki, and welcome back 😃 I've just bought one of these myself, and although your driving skills are far far superior to mine, I'm absolutely loving it.

Vickii!!!!! So good to see you ❤❤

Fantastic. Love the way you do your thing.

So good to see you testing again…a real driver (and a long family history of that of course!). I bought a new 325i Sport in 1986 and did a lot of miles all over Europe. Too many years later, I quite fancy one of these and that price tag is very negotiable…I saw one just a month ago for £57500 with delivery mileage and full (auto) spec…. Sadly my wife cannot get in low cars now due to mobility problems so no sale here but I rather liked it!! Keep testing….we need more from you to balance these hordes of men on You Tube! 😃😃😃😃😃

Welcome back! That was a great video. I would love to see your test of that "near perfect" Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0!

Love the looks of the M2

Vicki is back, subscribed!

Love seeing a woman drive a manual.. Your so right about the heated steering wheel. Up north where it gets brutally cold, A heated steering wheel is a god send. I just got a Jeep that has one and I can't live without one now. Great job Vicki.. :)

Thank you Vicki, cracking video; cracking car.

Nosotros te amamos Vicky sigue el buen trabajo.❤

VBH any petrol head dream😍 Thanks Vicki❤

Been subscribed to this channel but haven’t have anything popped up in my feed for so long I have forgotten about it. Nice to be reacquainted.

Nice review Vicki

Great video, as always! PS: The BMW is fine and well, but that Ducati Monster makes me drool...

Refreshing to see Vicki's no nonsense review which is in contrast to most other reviwers who seem to be obsessed with infotainment systems, Apple car play, etc.etc.... I just get in a car and drive, no music or sat nav.

Brilliant review! And without doubt currently the best Car in The World. Full stop! Auto box? [Imagine what the rumoured Competition will be like! Thank You Vicki, BMW M cars all the way.

Amazing Vicki at last someone who gives honest reviews fantastic and a Pearson who can pedal a car great content best you tube channel out there love the the videos and content AStar

Absolutely brilliant review! I just picked up a G87 in red and have been smiling just like you every time I drive it 😊

Interesting to find out if the LHD manual version has the same pedal/sport seat problem.Nice review Vicki.

I still remember when Clarkson said that he wished he had colleagues that could drive as well as you.

As always Vicky , presentation and information in abundance. Excellent channel Keep up the good work. 👍

I'm watching this as I'm literally getting ready to go buy one of these. Manual, of course. Thanks for the sanity check before I sign, Vicki! I think the pedals are in a better place on LHD models, too. I didnt notice awkwardness on the test drive.

Thank You

I could watch VBH All day..... Talking about Anything..... But preferably Cars..... :-)) xxx

Great video! I definitely prefer the previous gen in terms of looks. They peaked with that!

Nice to see you today in the BMW EV in Cambridge ish!! Love what you guys are doing if ever need technical support for anything, I have a mobile workshop now. May be able to help!! Kind regards Dan the hairy ex VWG guy from today

Absolutely stunning......and the Beemer's ok too. Always enjoyed your reviews with the sense of fun and sheer excitement and enjoyment of just driving. This is my first time to your channel, so I'll stick around, consider me subscribed.

Ohhhhh VBH we love you ❤

Missed the days of fifth gear with Tiff Needel, i follow hour videos for 10 years, greetings from Colombia Latinoamérica 🙂

Nice job.

Wonderful review ! waiting for my 24 to arrive any week now, in automatic. Cheers

70k for an M2 is a bit too dear. BMW has also gone vapid with too many badges and shouting; M cars were supposed to be almost sleepers. Not a fan of the hexagonal digital cluster design either, the analogue BMW dials were so beautiful, at least make it resemble those. Overall, I would have preferred the M2 to be more spartan, but I understand that they have to keep upping the ante. You are excellent, as always, Vicki!

Hi Vicky, good video of the M2, but where did you get the Porsche crest from. I'd love that in my garage at the side of my boxter S

We need more videos and more often, to get this channel going properly ...

Aye Vickyyy!!! Always loved your smile and enthusiam. Glad the algo led me to your channel.

Oh boy am I right there with you on the Z3 M Coupe! My girlfriend worked in BMW sales at the time and every weekend she’d bring the Estoril Blue M Coupe home. What a little rocket ship! I don’t agree that the end of petrol performance cars from BMW is coming to an end, I think the motor manufacturing world is waking up to the fact that EVs are definitely not the future! (Edited to correct Estoril which autocorrect had changed to Escorial!) Thanks @fantastictime.

actually, the LHD model feels ergonomically correct. It's not the 6-speed that was the afterthought

Drifting on public roads. Vicki is a gangster. That is how you drive BMW😂

A top quality review, the car looks amazing, but off set pedals :/ hey ho.. nice bit of driving 😁

After seeing all the different versions of M cars I’m more than happy to say that I’d take any model of Vicky. This latest version is getting better and better with age. I want one!

I think almost all of the detractors you have pointed out have more to do with the car being wrong hand drive! Joking aside the left-hand drive models found in Germany, USA, Canada ect. all have the manual gearbox as a $0 option. Meanwhile in Canada the price of one of these ranges from (at time of currency conversion) 45,000-60,000 British Pounds, While the Cayman GTS starts at 65,000 and can get higher than 75,000. I definitely think BMW had to shoehorn that manual gearbox setup for the right-hand drive markets and it definitely was an afterthought in that regard. I will give you the bucket seats though, everyone complains about the weird hump. Don't order those seats if you have any sense and get the standard full leather half buckets, way more comfortable.

So, when will you be testing the 718 Cayman GTS for your channel? 😉

Would love to see you on the Smoking Tire Podcast or any podcast for that matter. Laters!

I think the seating position and pedals are fine. With the sport seats, I think it seems sized to a pro driver’s physique. (~1.8 to 2 m and lean)

MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow congrats, I didn't know you have your own channel been a fan with your review of the EVO VI! From the states here. I love the Evos, E46M3, and Porsche "GT cars". Now being older I'm searching for the "modern ultimate driving machine" like bmw did with the E46 ( good audio, quiet, comfort, and most importantly driving feel) that can carry kids as a daily. So far Macan wins in terms of NVH, driving feel, and interior quality. I would like to hear your thoughts or advice from a person that driven everything!

A lovely premium compact

It's not really 'small' Vicki, it's a medium sized, heavy, coupe. I like it though, first time I saw it, I thought it was a striking and interesting, if not instantly beautiful like the F87 was. I'd have one for sure, if I could afford it, but as I can't, I'll have to make do with my amazing F87 OG M2.

Happy birthday Vicky 🎉🎉🎉

More videos, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’d watch Vicki mowing the lawn she’s that good😁

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏼

Great video. However, unconnected with the film, I don’t think petrol, or for that matter, manual gear boxes, are anywhere near done with yet 🙂. Oh the times, they are a changin’

If you’re going to run one as a daily the standard seats and auto is the way to go.

All the Usual Suspect You Tubers had one on a video in the late summer: Archie Hamilton Racing bought one and put an even more outlandish body kit on it and lowered the suspension: It looked hideous. I suggested he buy carbon ceramic brakes: saving about 20kg per corner and a titanium exhaust like the Lamborghini Urus has by Akrapovic saving weight and increasing the power. Also changing to lighter Magnesium wheels. Harry's Garage said this latest version of the M2 was even heavier by about 300kg than the older version. There was also a man on Instagram offering 'Ring Taxi' style laps in one on the Nurburgring and took out Lamborghini Craig, who is the manager of the Pangbourne branch of HR Owen Lamborghini. He said it was great. I don't know how the M2 was modified for this. Perhaps you could do a demonstration of 'heel and toe' as I am slightly confused as to what it is? Something like keeping your heel on the accelerator whilst braking at the same time with the toes of the same right foot. Although I don't see how this can be an advantage: Its used in rev matching, revving the engine changing down gears, you could do an explanation of that too, please Viki.

Cheers VHB, shame it’s a bit ugly at the rear, keep well.

As gorgeous as ever Vicky.

You never seem to look any older Vicky!

Today is Vicki's birthday. Have a Happy Birthday Vicki! 🎂

I'd love the engine and mechanicals in my z4. Why doesn't BMW do a z4m any longer

65k! crazy

Why does it seem like the right handed drive spec of this car is lesser than the left hand drive spec? From the annoying always on bongs and beeps to this pedal offset I’ve observed many reviewers speak on.

Looks amazing, not pig ugly with a swollen grill, quite novel??? However my last two BMW's didn't last much past 100k so I don't rate their quality any more, I drive an Audi now, seems way better quality on the engineering components front.

Vicki is enough on her own. The background music is annoying!

So can they build an M0 for UK roads? Why always making cars wider and longer instead of narrower, shorter, lighter and faster?

I heard BMW had gone on record saying they’re not chucking ICE cars in anytime soon 🤷🏻‍♂️ potentially a wise move as sales of EV’s have taken a major nosedive of recent (kinda worldwide it would seem).. Other manufacturers forging ahead with EV’s might want to follow suit and not retire their ICE cars and perhaps like Toyota keep developing new generations of IC Engines

Could see practically nothing on the interior shots, you really need to get the lighting sorted out

I like Vikki should have been on grand tour instead of James may … she a legend 🎉

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

So basically this M2 is just the old M3 renumbered for some reason, right????

M2 is meh but VBH is fabulous. More please Vikki.

1750 Kg 😄Truck territory.

Hmmmm, is this a review or promo?

You can't get close to a Cayman GTS for that money, similarly equipped. You'd be at $120K.

Pity you got the terrible carbon buckets! Everyone complains about that stupid hump in the middle skewing your legs Besides that it's a beast

What a lovely looking cute body, well proportioned and so nicely shaped bound to perform well. ❤

You have not mentioned the annoying Bong sound every time you go over the speed limit.

It may be the smallest m-badged car, but I'm not sure "petite" is the right word.

Music is roo loud

Some attention to lighting needed, Vicki. Too many “black cats at night” scenes in and around the car.

Only 25Kg lighter than the ridiculously heavy M3? What's the point then?? Shame. BMWs used to make fantastic small cars.

With or without alcohol.

How does this thing weigh so much ? And the manual gearbox is rubbish.

I would literally watch this woman peel potatoes 😍😍

Nothing would persuade me to buy a BMW, or any other German car come to that.
