Not sure about it being commy I think it’s very commy and I’m 45 it’s a great car in every way I deal with bumber to bumber traffic speed means nothing she’s terrific go Lexus

Stock ic?

Hi! I am about to buy this car, and even though I already loved it "at first sight", especially after comparing it live with other options I had in mind (kia & hyundai suv's), your video actually gave me complete peace of mind! Now I am sure I've made the right choice, thanks so much :) (ok, maybe a few months isn't totally "longterm", but that is definitely long enough to decide whether you like the car or not, and figure out some of the non-obvious things, in my opinion)

Traded my 21 Charger 392 for an M2. What and upgrade. I love my M2. especially being a manual. Been a while since I drove a manual but getting the hang of it again. My only complaint is its a little easy to miss a shift or get the wrong gear. That might just be me. Outside of that I love the thing.

@5:48 sus...

More info on the genesis calipers!!

How can this be in compared.. It's a 13 year old car..

I'm look for the Emira, did you made a video on the buying experience? Is it possible to get one at MSRP?

"We don't need auto rev-match! I want to rev-match my own shifts otherwise why would I get a manual?" ✨one minute later✨ "Foot slipped off the brakes there when doing my heel-toe. Be careful with that!"

Nice driving but there is no such thing as MacPherson struts on all four corners. Boxsters have a multi link rear suspension like most sports cars.

It is crazy how the normal basic model provides a higher driving engagement

soooo, stage 1 it, sports exhaust and ur done.. alot of people dont seem to understand these cars come limited af because of emissions, reviewers need to understand this, they also need to understand they cant make them as they used to because of safety and (safety) tech. Its not just bmw that has these problems.

I have this car. It's pretty cool. I tuned it with racechip for 1k and now have m4 power haha. It has a ton of possibilities for mods. An essential mod is a short shifter. Fun car!

no thanks i'll keep my 2019 {base} mustang gt 6 speed. with new continental extreme contacts in rear with T/C off and WOT still hooks with no wheel spin/hop

Lovin my 2025 with the ZF. Portimao blue with silver wheels

Most games on wheels don’t accurately replicate modern electric power steering. Low FFB is usually more feelsome than actual modern cars

Honestly, just get a CT4V Blackwing... it is what the M2 should have been. Similar power, Performance, more usability(4 door), infinitely better manual(TR6060), actually good steering feel, amazing magnetic ride suspension.

I see Alfa Romeo QV content I click like!!

Kev, as always a fantastic video and I think you summed it all up perfectly. One quick note is just how much quieter and IMO soulless the S58 is than even the S55 (which I never thought sounded good but now have a new appreciation for). It’s not a harmony of tones like the n54/55 (let alone any other N/A), it’s just one single loud noise like the GTR V6. Aside from that, it’s just sad to see bmw get rid of what made the m2 unique - a quite different feel and character vs the m4. I appreciate the owners perspective and am glad it works for him. From that perspective, it’s fantastic… I’m just sad because it wasn’t bmw that made cars that fit that perspective 10-20 years ago. It was Mercedes, Jaguar, audi, etc. I think especially with the LSD, the M performance models - while they feel quite different - are more interesting to me just because of the much lower limits, better sound, and higher levels of chassis feedback. Plus, all the noise / steering issues are slightly more forgivable in that.

Its big and heavier than previous F8x M3/M4s.....test drove new M2 and M3. No steering feel, manual shifter was mooshy, drove like GT car. No excitement or drama at all.

This is just new cars... I love my CT4 Blackwing and I think one of the best cars on the market today, full stop. That said, I'd much rather have a e39 M5 or E46 ZHP. I just don't want to deal with the the upkeep on a 20+ year old car for my daily. Even my F80 had far more character, the perfect amount of tech and looked better than the Caddy.

I used to not like this car at all because of all the comments and the video section until i test drove one!! Ignore the idiots saying oh the old one is better or this is too heavy. Stfu and go test drive one 1st!

What do you think is the next incremental increase in car from a gr86/BRZ? The next step up that is the the same or very similar philosophy of car?

BMW is not longer an enthusiast brand, their primary objective now is to appeal to professionals that want to look like they drive something classy and do so everyday to get to work.

Manual isn't choosing right. The zf is way better in that car. The manual guys are getting tired. That zf rifles out shifts and is just as fun and doesn't suffer from lag like the 6spd

458 is timeless😍

10x better build quality and track worthy than the Emira. Will hold value better too.

Is the gearbox smooth enough for daily driving ?

Weight? I dont think you have even come close to driving it near 9/10th to feel any burden of weight. Without seeing the spec sheet would you be able to guess this car is above 1,700kg?

Hey Kevin, thanks for the review! Just wanted to add a few things from a daily perspective. The car is very easy to drive fast and it doesn't feel like you're wrestling/working with it to get it to go somewhere. I don't have to think too hard to get my fix for taking some corners fast or sliding a bit, especially after a long workday. Comparatively the Mach 1 felt like an event to handle and drive fast, which may be a positive to a lot of people, but I personally found it tiring to handle on a daily basis. In my daily vehicle I wanna be able to shut down mentally and still enjoy it and the M2 works for me in that regard.

I adore my 2015 rc f almost a yr in and still falling in love flawless victory my fav car chills just looking at it

Just discovered this channel. I’m glad I found it.

I think you summed the car up perfectly....incredibly capable, and that's even before you factor in the price, but also a bit anodyne unless you are really pushing it. But as for a one car option, it ticks a lot of boxes. I have a distant relative, the Toyota Supra and I kind of feel similarly about it. Not as practical of course, but unless you are really on it (which isn't hard to do) it can be a bit boring. And that's the problem when driving in a somewhat responsible manner. My STi, while not nearly as capable, communicates so much more information, that it feels more lively. Slow car fast and all that.

sick car but the huge screen in the middle and fake carbon fiber ruins the inside look

Rs3 is boring , much less engaging

Fantastic car, nth come close in that budget

For the purpose that this M2 serves, RS3 is the better choice. I like manual as much as anybody, but I had pick a good modern auto over a rubbery manual. Also, "not that ugly" reads not good looking, not exactly a selling point or endorsement.

Does BMW make anything that’s not prototyped using Lego’s?

Ugh….More Black wheels? Nice 6 speed! Nice car. Wish BMW would give us an M car that weighed around 3000 lbs. with a stick. How fun would THAT be? 😁

Old BMW is gone 😞

You probably dont even know how to change wiper blades on a car

You got a ton of bullshit on that car.

Potential buyer here. Wanting to know if the engine overheated at all during any of your sessions?

Daily'd my s2k for a while, its possible!! def not as comfy as the nd tho lol.

Great thoughts!

I like them all, I wish the Meridian did not have the hood decal. But that shows how close I look at all the turbos. Seems the PP for the short money is the best buy. And yes, the terra-cotta.

The Evora GT was only available in the US initially, but Lotus introduced about 20 US spec cars to the UK at the very end of the cars life. The UK had the GT410 sport which was slightly stiffer but still a good ride, a higher rev limit 7k rpm. Sport mode also had more slip on the diff. 30% as opposed to 20%. It also looked different with the carbon clamshell, and different bonnet with the single carbon air scoop at the front and at the back. It also had different seats and some other bits and pieces. Fantastic car! It wasn't perfect but bloody good to drive and the standard stainless steel exhaust sounded fantastic.Always keeps you on your toes 👍💪

Who needs Gran Turismo when you have track days?🏎🏎

would you recommend the gr86 or the miata for learning rwd dynamics? I come from a civic si and i want to be able to pick a car that’ll help me understand the differences in power trains.
