Today you join me with my BMW M2 and, after receiving many requests to do so, here's how much it costs to run a BMW M2.
This video will be cut down into the main aspects of car ownership: Insurance, Tax, Servicing, Fuel, & General Maintenance as well as upkeep of the car

That excitement you mention is what a lot of people get screwed over by when talking about r35 gtr’s … they seem so affordable to alot of people but then the maintenance costs come up and it’s a reality shock… I’ve nearly paid off my 140 fully now and tempted to go to an og M2 like yours… Just don’t know if it’s worth it and practical enough.

Saving up now for an M2 comp hopefully gonna be able to in a couple years. But will not pull the plug unless im 100% confident my salary can manage it. Gonna get 10k for mt 225d, gonna have 15k savings and gonna HP/low rate loan the rest so should work out between 2/300 a month for 5 years, but no balloon at the end. With working from home I probably only drive, about 3k miles a year so thinking on my 30k salary I should still be able to afford it. The gf pays for our fuel as she doesn't do any driving.

M2 manual 2017 tax £490, insurance £730, brakes need changing the same time as the rotors and they are £2700 alone which no one ever mentions, monthly payment £520 for 5 years then you own the car, 648 pound for a major service

@realtorque 3 жыл бұрын

This is a difficult question! Right first of all my biggest regret is not buying a manual one, a lot of engagement lost just by that. The type r is incredibly capable, fun, engaging and bloody quick around some twisty lanes. The type is very easy for anyone to drive quickly and isn’t a car where, if you get it wrong your in big trouble. My one biggest let down with the type r is the sound... now the m2... is very much the same as the type r, doesn’t feel as sharp but the rwd and sound do make up for it massively. It’s a tough one. But from a pure driving experience. Manual m2 all day

@designanddevelop585 3 жыл бұрын

@@realtorque Thanks for the detailed response! Good to hear from someone who's owned both. I am sure manual would make a big difference as it does with most cars for engagement. Hopefully one day I'll get an M2, gotta save and be able to get insured first!

Not sure if you mentioned it, what about the cost difference Vs m140i ignoring your monthly car payments?

@realtorque 3 жыл бұрын

Hey buddy! The m2 is more expensive than an m140i in pretty much every way. Tyres cost more (bigger tyres). Overall up keep is more too, down to servicing costing more and having to do it more regularly. Average fuel consumption is around 10-15mpg less. Things like brakes are of course more, being bigger too and of course insurance is more down to it being I higher category. In my opinion, the m140i would probably cost (not including car costs on payments) around £3,500-£4,000 a year

Not too bad! Everyone has different perspectives but if you are financing a luxury car you can’t afford it in general. You should be able to buy the car in cash with no financing and it shouldn’t really have an impact on you.
