Was Buying a BMW M2 Worth It? (One Year Ownership Review)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2022
- In today’s video, I’ll go over my ownership experience with my 2017 #BMW F87 #M2 and let you know my overall thoughts on it as a daily driver. The car has been fantastic to own and it definitely helped me gain additional knowledge on the N55 platform as a whole. This car was the perfect upgrade to my E90 335i and I'm glad I made the right choice.

I just bought a 2017 M2 and stumbled upon your channel. All I can say is WOW. I've been binge watching all your videos to get ideas for my M2. HOW does this channel not have more subs? The content and video quality is fantastic. Keep it up and thanks for the content man!
Appreciate the comment 🙌🏾 but yes it goes to show that UA-cam isn’t as easy as it seems but we’re happy for all our current subscribers and those to come, glad you’re enjoying the content so far!👍🏾
Y'all kill it with the edits.. definitely inspiring me! Well done with the build so far too! Looking forward to seeing what's next.
Respect man definitely took some time to compile it all but happy you enjoyed it✊🏾
You guys stay killing it with the content! Ironically enough I wanted an M2 before I got My M3 but this was an overall great view of the M2 and everything you’ve done with her.
Appreciate it man🙏🏾 and hey it’s never too late to get an M2😅
Same bro I was looking at the m2 but ultimately decided on getting a 2011 e92 m3. Now I want to add the m2 to the fleet 🤣
You did an awesome job with this car 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 love the footage in your videos! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bros! Cinematics we’re phenomenal 🤯🔥🔥🔥. Amazing video overall and good points about ownership. Been a pleasure being able to watch the journey 💯
🙌🏾appreciate you being able to see the journey bro lots of hard work and only more great times to come!
The cinematic shots are 🤌🏻🤌🏻 chef’s kiss
Gotta say those cinematics are 🔥. Well done 🍻. All good points and really gives someone who is curious about the pre-lci M2. This is probably one of the cleanest M2's in Florida.
Appreciate it man! lots of hard work went into both making this video and doing this build 🍻
Thank you so much for your reply ,just lining up a few mods ready for my m2 .love your car awesomeness on wheels ,well done so far on your build. 👍🏻😁😁
We appreciate it, and if you need any parts be sure to check out our website as well www.motogeargarage.com
Great video and amazing car! Keep up the great work!
This looks amazing guys! Really have outdone yourselves 🤙🏻
Thank you Mr. Hofman glad you enjoyed it!!🙌🏾
Nice! Big up Motogear TV. Great production value 👌🏾
Respect bro✊🏾
Great production quality and very informative. Cheers.
Oh, and your car looks incredible.
Much appreciated!
Car is turning out amazing!
Like your style, subbed
Considering buying an M2 competition just now. thanks for the vid. also the bucket seats are sick on the old CSL models. Buy the Recaro Pole Positions (carbon fibre) and have them re-upholstered to look like the ones from back in the day that can retail for more than $10k (at least that's the price here in the UK).
Yes the pole position are nice I've seen the carbon non-bmw versions and its about $5k for the pair shipped to the US
Dope video man really loved this one ☝️
Appreciate it ✊🏾
Amazing content man!!!! Love the video and the car!!!!
I really appreciate it! There will be more to come!
Amazing video, the quality is insane!
Appreciate it man, only more to come!
Bro I’m loving the content. So crazy that I’m Jamaican too and thinking about buying an M2… But the ride looks CLEAN 🧼🧽
Respect man✊🏾, yeah the M2 is a great platform to own you won’t be disappointed at all, glad you enjoying the content!
Great video…that intro hard! I love the M2…had mine for 4 years now. No complaints
Hey man if you don't mind, how's the car been holding up? been looking at m2s/3s but the m2 just looks amazing. its going to be my first sports car!
It’s been going great ever since, I plan to release some more videos highlighting maintenance/things to look out for…once you’re on top of maintaining them properly it’s a blast to own👍🏾
Video is very well made!
Thank you very much!
the most beautiful m2 video I've ever watch 🙂
Amazing video and edit for a future successful channel
Big thanks for following the journey!
Damn, high quality video man! Keep it up, you will be at 50K quickly if you keep on going
Appreciate it man and yes that’s the plan can’t stop, won’t stop!🙌🏾
@@MotoGearTV I still have the ambition to do the same... but I feel I have a lack of time man. Beside that, I dont have a spectular car like the M2. It's my dream car, or definitely on the bucket list to have one day. I personally drive the Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake from 2016
Such a beautiful piece.
Thank you very much!
The intro is really insane 💥💥💥💥💥
🙏🏾appreciate it and glad you enjoyed it!
Damn man. Car looks so badass on the bronze wheels. Stance and fitment is awesome.
I don’t even know why someone would buy a Supra over an m2 (comparing them because they’re similar in size and looks). The m2 looks way better and ends up sounding better when modified. (No hate on the b58 though, it is a great motor)
Both platforms are great in its own way, the M2 definitely gives a great driving experience all around but if I was going for straight line speed then Supra for sure👍🏾
Big Up bredda...nuff rispek!!
✊🏾✊🏾big up bro
Gave me fast & furious vibes. Nice video!
Respect ✊🏾
Subbed for Jamaican connection 🇯🇲
Thank you for this well shot 📹 video, I really have been looking at an N55 M2 Recently, and have been ignoring outside opinions, it doesn’t matter to me what number the series is. This would be my first BMW and M car
I was looking for something similar to the e46 3 Series/ M3 because that was originally the first car I wanted before I could even drive as a kid.
Respect and yeah man the m2 is honestly one of the best all around M cars you can own… been enjoying mine so far with no complaints 👍🏾
@@MotoGearTV That’s great to hear, one of the best 3 BMW designs in the last 20 years imo. E39 M5 is the best overall for me.
Just picked up a black 2017 M2 with 18k miles. Loving it so far, thx for the video
Awesome man, congrats on the new purchase👍🏾
What’s up bro, I’m in the market for an m2 OG. How much you got yours for? If you don’t mind sharing of course. I’m looking for a 6MT specifically
When I got mine prices were way different, but it’s easy to look them up now and see what they sell for which is in the $40k range
Wow car looks great,love your filming . I am looking for one at the moment here in the uk. Can you give any info on the blue dials can’t seem to find them here ? Great info tho and enjoying following your content. 👍🏻😁
Thanks and glad you enjoy the content✊🏾I got the gauges from a company called Venoxy, here is the install video we did on it ua-cam.com/video/_WITacfpfOk/v-deo.html
I love mine. I did full suspension upgrade and control arms as well and diff subframe upgrade.
Nice that should make it feel way more connected to the road
Nice! I like how clean your build looks 👍, btw does the lowering springs affect the adaptive dampening at all?
Not at all 👍🏾 Everything still works like factory with improved handling performance.
@@MotoGearTV awesome 👍😊
I didn't think the BMW M2's came with adaptive dampening only the CS model.
congrats on 1 year! 5 days until i’ll have owned mine for a year
Thanks and nice hope you’re enjoying it so far👍🏾
Sweet car! its on my wishlist
Go get it bro✊🏾
Great video and content. Love the cinematics of your videos. Just picked up a 2018 M2 DCT just like yours black. This is my third M car and this one is by far the best one I’ve ever owned! Just an amazing car overall so happy I bought it. Plan on doing a bunch of modifications myself. I really like your blue seatbelts and was wondering how you got them to stay on the front of the seat because that bothers me as well can you tell me please thanks.
Awesome man glad you enjoyed the video and congrats on the M2🙌🏾 If you need any mods definitely let me know and as for the seatbelt, I just rest on my side bolster after I take it off, makes it much easier to grab when I get back in the car👍🏾
@@MotoGearTV thanks buddy for the quick reply. I’ll reach out to you if I need any mods. Looking at your video of your steering wheel for under 500 right now. I like that dry carbon fiber piece you put in I want to get that.
great video
loving these videos on ur m2 it is very beautiful! Deciding between a f87 m2 or an e92 m3 right now
Thank you I appreciate it and not bad options to consider, we have both platforms and they equally drive amazing but if you prefer something more modern with more power then M2 all day but the E92 sound and analog feel can’t be beat regardless no wrong choice either way you go👍🏾
@@MotoGearTV i lied just bought a 19 m240i cannot wait 😀
Nice hope you enjoy it, if you need mods be sure to check out our website 🙌🏾
Hi man , nice vid, how was the delaership experience for one of this, any crazy over-msrp experience? or it was smooth?
Thanks for the question, I actually bought it used in 2021 so there weren’t any issues with it being over msrp and the customer service at the dealership was good
Great cinematography. I love how you created a story. Well done!
Thanks man this took a couple weekends to finish but happy you enjoyed the end result!
This video deserves more likes
Agreed🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing, great video and details, I agree you should get to know the vehicle first before modding it out, that includes taking it out on a couple or autocrosses or track-days to understand what the existing suspension AKA weight transfer, chassis flex, sway bars, braking, tires and rims. You will know quick when you put that thing through the paces as stock,
Agreed definitely looking forward to some track time this year 🙌🏾
Bless up bro, keep the content coming. Sell me the E90 M3 when unuh done!
😂 respect and we’ll see what happens to the future of the M3
Nice car. I think you have a small ding in the left side quarter panel
Love your og. Looking back if price was no object would you have e chosen this or the m2c? I got an 2018 m2 lci and the price difference was only 5k and I chose the og. I know people think that you can’t get power out of this car but I believe you can very well actually. If you factor in at least for me I wouldn’t mod an s55 without the crank hub and that’s a 4k job done correctly. Unless you were just doing a downpipe, intake and tune on the s55. Plus the n55b is probably my favorite sounding inline 6 from bmw.
I would probably still choose the OG m2 but perhaps get the LCI version instead. My car has plenty of power for the street and has the same dynamic handling as the M2C coded in. I agree the N55 is one of the best sounding turbo cars bmw makes and also one of the most reliable. I have no regrets getting the OG
@@MotoGearTV I completely agree. I am picking up the m2c aluminum and carbon fiber strut braces. Then coding in the steering. I want to go with either the pure 750 or a non stock frame turbo. I just want around 500-550whp on 93 which is very doable now. And you are correct the n55b is hella reliable. I too got some decent m4 seats that I will be taking to a custom upholstery shop to get them to put some nice leather on the arm rests , center console and seats , I’m going to make the seats a mix of leather snd alacantra with the same blue stitching.
My Lord, what a gorgeous car, and this is coming from a C7 Corvette owner.
lol we appreciate that✊🏾
Great review and down to Earth. - I'm picking up my lightly used 2020 in few days. - GL and be safe. - Aesir -
Awesome congrats on the new car, glad you enjoyed the content as well🙌🏾
Strawberry jams, but my Glock doesn't. Instantly subscribed.
😂✊🏾
Build so far is suppeerrr clean
Respect ✊🏾
What’s your camera gear?
Is this the normal m2 or the m2 competition
Idk why I’d get an m2 comp when I can get a low mileage m4cs for around the same price
Thanks video was helpful will buy one tomorrow… never mind I’m poor
lol you never know maybe one day for sure!
You live in St Pete?
hey man where did u get the seat belts from
From a company called Safety Restore, I did a review on them as well if you want more information
Sad reality of these cars is people want th because of how they perform and sound and all you have to mod it and once you do that what ever little bit of “bmw reliability” it had goes straight out the window they look good sound good but if I’m gonna be hesitant to buy one with 100k on the clock I don’t want it and bmw is a car that yoir not gonna wanna buy unless it’a fairly new and for many reasons
I’m not sure if you’ve owned one of them before but I disagree…Mine is fully modded and I’ve yet to have any reliability issues and even before this one I had another with way more miles and still no problem. I think an issue most face is that they decide to mod their cars and not keep up with the maintenance or take the time to know what’s needed before modding. It’s a great car like any once you take the time to learn the platform.
The Question or Video I want to see is "After Your Warranty Ends on the M2 - Is it Worth It"???
🤔 pretty good topic I’ll definitely look into doing a video on it👍🏾
Intro is the length of a Metallica intro
And justice for all
Just because .......🇯🇲....👍
Respect ✊🏾
Buying an M car without a manual transmission...
You kinda sound like your frm the Caribbean jus saying
You are correct 🇯🇲!
Id buy one but put a toyota engine in instead.
What u think of the new twin turbo tundra.
Is it wrong to be sexually attracted to a car
We don't judge.
