Tony (@TRLDEALS) called me a few weeks back, said his first BMW M2 Competition customer (Mark) had suggested I do the collection and use it to shoot my long awaited video review!! I genuinely thought it was a windup at first, most amazing gesture ever! If anyone ever needed evidence of my loyal following, this is the most transparent evidence, Mark hasn't done this for his social platform, he isn't even on Instagram.
I want to say a HUGE thanks to the owner Mark, also Tony Lewis, Berry BMW and Patrick for making this Video happen.
A Massive thanks also goes to Patrick for helping me film this video, his skills and equipment helped make this video what it is. Give him a follow on Insta and check out his KZfaq channel -

I have enjoyed it. Thanks man. I've been eyeing an M2. And this M2C just eliminates the issues I had with the regular M2. And like you said when Akrapovic does their thing it'll be perfect. Let's talk colors. Which are you leaning towards?? Keep up the good work.

the bad : the M2 CP its 90 lbs heavier than 2018 M3 . and 150 lbs over standar M2 . its an extemely heavy car. An authentic competition vehicle its weighr reduction focus like porsche develope their vehicles.

Of all the M2 Competition "reviews" on KZfaq, I find this one the most complete, objective and best done. The M2 Competition may have a poorer sound than its predecessor, but if you're in the market for a new one in the Eu, there's no choice and there's no point in lamenting it. And this review doesn't, and I really appreciate that. I'm taking delivery of one in exactly that color and those wheels in two weeks.

I had an original M2 and traded it in for a different car completely (a dream car of mine), but I am really liking this M2C. I wish this is what was out when I was looking in July 2017. I would definitely still have it. Now i want an M2C, but don't (and will not) get rid of my current car and really can't afford it either. I can handle only so much vehicle depreciations. Good review and who know, maybe in a few years, I can find one on the used car market, because we all know how much M cars depreciate. Hate to say that as I love them, but they do, so good for people looking in the future.

You'll love it... I haven't driven the OG M2, but based on all what I've read this M2C is much more of a linear buildup and it definitely likes to be revved. The power builds really smoothly and everything between 3.5k and 6.5k is golden. Twitchy in 2nd (dct) when you push it, but so well behaved when you need it (it's my daily dad car). As you mentioned: only thing this car really needs is an exhaust. I'm closely following your friend Mark's development with Akra, but also Lightweight's stainless steel (coming in December). After 3k kms I can confirm it's just too quiet.

The Cayman is a fantastic car. I have a non S manual. It's as close to perfection as I've ever driven. But I'm tempted to trade it for a comp.

@TheMystro1971 5 жыл бұрын

The M2 Competition is THE “M car” as BMW finally found its soul again with building a true track superstar. Finally a M car with a balanced chassis, proper size, lots of power, brakes and handling. The low end torque numbers in a car that small makes it a monster. The interior of the M2C looks gorgeous with just the right amount of high tech. The new seats look amazing. 😎The horse power wars have ruined the M5 as it’s way too big and heavy now The new 3 series is the size of the 5 series a few years back and won’t have the scalpel like handling the M2C has. The new M8 is still just a high HP GT car so we are left with the M2C being BMW’s true track animal sports car.

Exhaust will be fixed, we will bring back a bit of engagement in the gear changes and then we need a subscription on new rear tires. Lovely package out of the box, which offers loads of tuning options to take it up a notch to a level that anyone can choose for itself.
