I took deliver of the BMW M2 competition 6 months ago now. This car replaced my original BMW M2 (lci).
183 days and 7,500 miles later - here you have my thoughts on the ownership of the car as my daily driver.
Is the S55 engine really that much better?
Do i miss the original (N55) car?
Is the boot a good size?
Can the BMW M2 be a comfortable daily driver?
What options should you consider?
Aftermarket modifications...
AND MORE!
The full car spec is as featured in the video is as follows:
2019 (Sept) BMW M2 Competition - Long Beach Blue
DCT Gearbox
HK Sound
Apple Car Play
Electric / Memory seats (heated)
front and rear parking sensors (rear camera)
M Sport Braking System
Sunroof
Icon Adaptive LED headlights
Speed Limit Display

I'm in the same situation. I already have a 4C and I need a daily driver. Honestly, the problem with the QV is the reliability and massive depreciation. The M2 Competition with a manual transmission is a future classic. I'm sure these cars will go up in value. The TTRS drives like shit honestly, I won't even bother. The R8 is an amazing car but a bad daily in my opinion.

I have the same car and I believe you are using the M buttons on the steering wheel inefficiently. You stated in the video that all the comfort/efficient modes are set in your M1 button. However, these are the modes the car starts up in!! So effectively, all you have done is duplicate those settings into the M1 button. This robs you of the opportunity to exploit a whole new mix for the M1 button, thereby giving you a total of 3 and not just the 2 settings you currently have. Hope this makes sense!!!!
@CarMadDad
@CarMadDad 4 жыл бұрын
Not quite Chris! The car is started up in "sport" steering and so to get into comfort i have to hit the steering button three times to get into comfort. So i've saved myself two button pushes! Your right though - had Petrol Heads been happening i would have had a "full off mode" and a mix ready for the driving there as an example. So i see your point - this set up just works for me due to the "daily driver" element.

However, I think they could have reloaded the software, appears smoother from 4th to 3d when it does it now, will see how it goes. Manager also said can be more saviour depending on oil temperature which I agree. We get up to 40c here in summer but average round 35c during our summers in Perth Aus. Will talk to manager again on Monday, Keep in touch.

Car Mad Dad Interesting indeed! I know obviously the front brace has been added which should help...

The steering software is different - as is the diff software, all of which I can imagine will help improve how the car drives! It was a bit of a rubbish situation with the reporting of the car, some journalists even said the car had adaptive dampers etc! Please let me know if you find out whether the car does actually have the rose jointing... from the images I have seen it did look the same and also I have been told by several people that the part numbers are same for the suspension arms and bushings etc! Another thing I almost forgot is that the wheels are slightly heavier than the originals - although I am not sure how much difference that it would make (I think it’s something like 0.5kg per corner)

Brilliant cars, brilliant engine BUT it’s not really fun when there is a possibility your car could end up in a ditch. This car is borderline dangerous in the wrong hands. If you want fun, you should go on a track. You want a car to be a stable and useable in ALL weather conditions , the m2 is not! hence why I sold mine and bought an rs3

Liked the video but the annoying sound between transitions made me not watch the entire video. Listen with headphones and you’ll hear. Other than that good job.

Have you tried the DCT in a modern M car? They are amazing! The engine is best sooted for the DCT transmission anyway. I had both manual and DCT and believe me, the DCT is far superior. Sunroof? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can't configure a carbon roof on the M2 anyway, so why not get the Sunroof and enjoy the weather and sound?

I got the DCT too, it’s stronger, faster and has a higher top gear for the motorway, no negatives apart from a bit heavier.

From initial viewing, I don’t appreciate you thrashing the car like that. I know each to their own but that kind of driving is not safe on public roads.
