2024 BMW M2 vs 2024 Audi RS3 | Which $65,000 Performance Car Is Better?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 тра 2024
- 👋 After owning the 2024 Audi RS3 for several months now, I get so many comments to compare it to the newest G87 BMW M2! Finally we are here checking out the 2024 BMW M2 alongside the 8Y Audi RS3! Crazy enough the MSRP on this M2 is $65,000, which is the same MSRP our Audi RS3 had! These cars feel like they are the same class of car and same build quality level. Performance is also very comparable. The RS3 utilized a very unique 2.5L Inline 5 cylinder turbo engine, while the M2 has the S58 twin turbo 3.0L inline 6 cylinder engine. While the M2 makes 453 horsepower and the RS3 has 401 horsepower. The AWD and DCT in the RS3 rocket it to 60 under 3.5 seconds. Also the RS3 weighs about 3,600 pounds vs the 3,800 pounds in the M2. RS3 is very quick feeling and is so responsive. M2 has ore top end and I prefer it's steering feel. It's a bit more weighted and direct. RS3 has more useable back seats that adults can fit in, but the M2 is decent for being a coupe. Both cars are a blast to drive and I think the RS3 does get a bit more on edge when in the highest drive mode. The M2 doesn't quite get that raw. However the M2 has the manual transmission option which really ads a connected driving feel. Personally these cars feels like 100% direct competitors in every way you look at it. I think it comes down to if you want RWD or AWD. 4 doors or 2 doors. And the manual transmission option. I like the M2 better since I like the feel of sitting in a coupe, I like the manual, and the steering is more direct. But I like how raw the RS3 gets, and it's extra capabilities in grip from the AWD makes it feel faster. So it's a toss up! My wife loves her RS3 and I plan to sell my manual Supra for a manual M2 when I need more practically for my daily.

I considered both. Went back and forth for months. There is now an M2 in my garage. Couldn't be happier. M2 is amazing!
lol nice! Certainly a great car!
Good choice 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wait for the 2025 with more power and colors. Driving 2023 RS3 for now. I will say I truly loathe most BMW owners
@fzr1000981 I already have the M2 but if they add x drive and more power, I might trade up.
@@scottyk329 xdrive is just more weight and numb steering, yes it's faster 0-60
Love the m2, the s58 is a league above.
Yeah it's wild! Downpipes, Flex Fuel and tuning can make 700 WHP on these!
You can shut all that off and with an aftermarket exhaust, they sound pretty good
Above the daza?
2024 Audi RS3, Cause I really wants that car.
Yeah the RS3 is a great option!
I cannot see why anyone would want that M2. AWD + drift capabilities + small size + good engine sound = perfection.
What flaws? What did you find after driving one/owning one?
Sounds pretty cool to me!
i’m taking the m2 as well. great comparison
Great car! I'll probably buy one in the nest year or two to replace my Supra. Will be fun to have one alongside the RS3
Nice comparison once again keep em comin 👏
Thanks! Glad yo finally get this video!
I was cross shopping these 2 cars having come from an S3. The handling, turn in, suspension, and power delivery is way better in the M2. The RS3 gets off the line quicker due to AWD and I love the 5 cyl sound, but once the M2 is in 3rd gear it’s lights out for the RS3, the M2 pulls like a madman. You are spot on with the RS3 suspension being stiffer and it bounces around way too much (reminds me of the previous F87 M2) where as the M2 G87 absorbs the bumps while being stiff, like a good performance car should. I think they are both great cars it all depends what you need in a car, if you don’t need 4 doors for sure get the M2. Once I drove them back to back it was an easy decision for me to get the M2. Great vid!1
Yeah very true. M2 has a more weighted feeling and certainly has the top end from the twin turbo motor. Great car to go for!
Just the opposite for me when I test drove both! RS3 just rips and grips everywhere and just feels faster to about 100 mph since you can actually use all the power without an issue with Quattro! RS3 is more usable in the cold, rain, of course, and we won't even mention wintertime! M2 owner I know traded it in for the RS3 after a test drive and said it was the best car he's ever owned after owning several bimmers!! Both great cars, and I'd like to have one of each in my garage, honestly lol!!
Lots of BMW fanbois troll these comments
My vote goes to the M2. Should be more reliable than the Audi as well (I know neither brand is known for good reliability)
It’s 2024 not 1980. They’re both reliable.
Honestly the Audi I5 is a pretty strong engine. Audi and BMW seems pretty good. However we've had issues with our BMW's we've owned. Never had issues with any of our Audis.
Between these two, it’s the rs3 all day. I’d have one but I ended up getting a g83 m4 for just a bit more space
I chose my 24 RS3 after test driving both, but you can't go wrong either way imo!!
Oh cool. M4 is a great car too!
RS3 all day
Great option!
I have an 18 RS3. Best car I’ve ever owned.
Nice! Great car!
Great review and I like how you are not biased towards one. I had my 2023 G87 M2 with the 6 speed manual for over a year now and it’s simply the best car I ever owned. Coming from a MK3 Supra, S2000, and 135i, my only critique is the lack of steering feel, but that’s almost every new car with electric steering vs hydraulically-assisted. I agree that you don’t feel the weight for a 3750+ lb car. Car ride is actually much more comfortable than the 135i. Just keep in mind if you tune the manual, the torque isn’t recommended above 500, but you probably already know that with your Supra.
Yeah I think a basic tune and bolts ons can work for these. Would probably need a nice clutch for more aggressive tuning. But in a manual I wouldn't be chasing much more power. Probably won't even tune my Supra. Just doesn't crave more power being a manual.
@@BrosFOURRSpeedYou’ll feel the weight after you track it and have to spend extra on breaks and tires
Love the Rs3. The inline 5 is awesome. For the m2, the look starts to grow on me. Only back is still something to get used to
Yeah I'd agree with that. The back could use something. I'm sure lowered with wider wheels would help
I own a 24 RS3, so I'm a bit biased lol, but your comment sums up the way I feel as well! 5 Cylinder Daza engine is an amazing engine with a character filled soundtrack!!
@@speeddemon311 rs3 and M2 are on my list for next upgrade! Which year do you have?
@@TTGamingTrinh 2024 in Daytona Gray with black optics package!
@@speeddemon311 amazing!
I’ll take one of each!
Heck yeah! Fun cars!
RS3 all the way. Better looking, more practical, better resale value, better sound. I've been driving a manual transmission in every one of my cars for the past 30 years until I got my '24 RS3 and I don't miss the manual at all.
RS3 is some fun! I still prefer the manual since I like the fun factor. But the RS3 is a little rocket and is perfect with the DCT
currently i have benz C300, audi rs3 my next car 😍
Nice! You'll love the upgrade!
Daza is king. Daza is life
Yeah that I5 is super cool! But the S58 is a great motor too!
RS3 forever.....look in Germany at MTM tuning ...an rs3 with 653 HP.....and quattro....amazing.........supercar killer
100-200 just 6,3 sec
0-100 2.9 sec........that's amazing
Oh cool! Would be fun to dive into that!
I have the 2023 RS3 in Turbo Blue like you.... Great car, owned it 18 months now (low low miles).
Getting pretty good quote from dealerships to buy it (61k).
Am I crazy to sell it for GR86 in manual transmission? I kinda wanna go back to basics.
I know the obvious power difference and it will be different kind of fun.
On the RS3, it's just so much power that you can get in trouble real quickly with the law (and living in NY, I'm not even utilizing half the potential). On the 86, you can the power daily and not having to worry about getting into trouble.
If I crave the power, we have the '24 X3 M40i as family car lol
What are your thoughts?
Not a bad way to go. We have the GR86 and it's a blast to drive! I made a video comparing it to my Supra. Both were the same level of fun, just different ways. The 86, you can drive it like you stole it, and you'll never hit 60 lol. So that could totally be a fun way to take a step back and just have a car you can drive hard and not break the law. X3 M40 is. fun family car!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Yea I saw that comparison video, which is why I'm asking for your input LOL.... I also wanna keep the price around 30K range on my first manual car, so 86 is probably the best choice. I'm just afraid that I will be disappointed on the power coming from RS3.... appreciate your feedback.
If a dealer is actually offering you 61K I would take it and run
@@grahmdoughty That's what i'm thinking.... lol
You'll defiantly miss the power. However the GR86 is much more peppy then the older FRS and GT86. So it's not bad. We still find it fun to drive even coming from our other cars
Love ur RS3
Thanks! Fun car!
@BrosFOURRSpeed hopefully I can get one next year
I miss when new sports cars were sub 3000 lbs 😂. Now “light”’sports cars are 3500 lbs😅
Yeah I know, things are getting heavy! But you don't notice in these cars tho
The 2026 M2 will come in Xdrive but only in the Z8 speed but with a bump in power to 500 hp. BMW always under rates it’s power. That’s the M2 I’m waiting for.
Oh interesting. That would basically be an M4 Comp lol. I'd still want a manual, so hopefully I can get a good used one in a year or so
@@BrosFOURRSpeed There probably won't be M2 with Xdrive and manual.
Currently torn between these two. For Chicago winter, RS3 seems like a more rational choice as my only car. But I have heard some 8Y RS3 owners are facing reliability issues already so that’s an ouch.
Yeah the AWD is great for that! Especially with s good set of performance all season tires. I havent heard anything bad about either car just yet. The M2 is probably a but easier to work on since the engine and transmission is more common in their brand. Regular servicing should keep the RS3 solid tho. Lots of owners rack up the miles in these
What reliability issues? I’m on all the groups and haven’t seen anything.
Drive my 8y hard every drive 5000km 14months old 30 passes on 1/8mile best 7.36@95mph. No problems yet❤
@@ryanb8736 yeah same. Both cars seem pretty solid
Traded my 2023 bmw m2 with bolt ons for a 2024 rs3. The m2 was a fast fast car, but I’m in the PNW and it rains often, completely useless in the rain. Lol also rs3 feels a bit more special tbh.
Yeah the AWD really lets you do anything all season long!
People forget how important traction is when buying a car with this kind of horsepower! Quattro gives the RS3 so much usability in all weather, and 4 doors is a plus imo!!
BMW M2 all day
Great car!
BMW fanboi
Thinking bout trading in my Supra for an rs3, still not sure if I should.
ua-cam.com/video/fQehZcOObIg/v-deo.html
Here's my video comparing the Supra to the RS3. Personally I'd go M2 after my Supra. But if you really need the back seat practicality the RS3 is the way to go
You'd be happy either way, the supra sound system is garbage.
M2 all day
Why!?
Fanboi
I like them both, but the RS3 is have a weird tyres set up, bigger up front and smaller out back, that weird to me
Yeah it's weird for are! I've heard a lot of people doing a square setup on these
If I’m looking for a family car, a four door all wheel drive sedan with some power, RS4 would be it. But, if I’m looking for a fun, rear wheel drive, six speed, proper sport car, M2 all day long.
Yeah very true. Would be nice to have an RS4 again. RS3 is kinda like what the last ten RS4 was all about. But this should be a good family car to start with since the back is pretty practical for a small car
How would you compare these to Giulia Quadrifoglio in terms of driving excitement?
that car is like 30k more expensive than these, not the same league.
I'd say similar level of fun. We had one for a week and I really liked it! ua-cam.com/video/zpyCueKSbNU/v-deo.html
@@nubtubbert In used market they are the same
@@anirbano where I'm from, in used market they're still around 20k+ difference
I like both equally. I live in the Midwest so I’d go Audi, until BMW brings out an AWD M2! If I’m being honest, the Germans can’t make a great/solid standard transmission! My favorite manuals ever were my ‘08 Honda S2000, my 2006 & 2010 Dodge Vipers, & my 2012 Chevy Corvette Z06. My BMWs & my 911 manuals were all average at best. German manuals lack that solid rifle bolt accurate shifting. German manuals feel too rubbery with too much play in them! So - make my next BMW M2 AWD with an Automatic Tranny! 😂 YMMV👍
Yeah my manual Supra is much better feeling. Toyota built that transmission and it's amazing! I don't hate the M2 manual. It's very forgiving and still fun. But certainly could be more direct. Both are some fun tho! I've heard some rumors about 2025 having AWD. Would basically be an M4 Comp lol
Is it twin turbo or twin scroll turbo?
M2 has the s58 motor which has two turbos. I'm sure they are twin scroll turbos as well tho
@@BrosFOURRSpeed did a little research. They are single scroll, but there ARE two of them. This is only making me want to trade the Supra in on an M2 even more 😭
@@suprola7961 yeah the S58 is a beast of a motor! I’ll be swapping my Supra for one eventually 😅
The Supra is more fun to drive and looks much better in person, and on top of that, the value will hold much better with the Supra guaranteed 👍
Between bmw and audi I would always choose bmw
why?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed because it feels more direct, more fun , is not a shared brand, it doesn’t understeer, different design throughout the whole lineup.
@@keanumunteanu the steering is definitely more direct. But the I5 is quicker off the line and in tighter roads. M2 has a lot going for it for sure tho
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yes it is, but still prefer how bmw drives. For me is the better car
I'd get the RS3 if you could get them in canada. Also, if i had any money.
yeah it's a blast! I thought these are available in Canada ?
Why do you get the lowest spec in the UK as standard carbon interior and roof standard on the M2 in Europe
For us the carbon interior in the M2 is an upgrade you have to pay for
Tough choice for me. It'll probably come down to which one i get a better deal on.
Yeah that's definitely a good way to make the decision
The only thing i hate about the new audi desing is that shifter. Oh and no flat bottom steering wheel
I like the little shifter. Nice and out of the way. But I do miss the flat bottom wheel from our 2016 S3. So much better!
One is a 4 door family sedan and the other one a proper sports car
Ok? Both have very similar prices and performance. There really isn't anything that truly competes with these two cars. As like I mentioned in the video, I get tons of comments of people saying they are cross shopping these two specific cars. So clearly enough people are looking to buy an RS3 or M2
Detailed review.
Thanks! Fun to finally compare these!
M2 every time!!
Great option!
G87 M2 will my next car someday. I need money somehow. RS3 is four doors and it doesn't have the S58. I don't care about it at all.
lol ok. The inline 5 is super unique and makes amazing power. S58 is a bMW engine, of course it wouldn't be in the RS3.
I hoped you show us the sunroof a bit more. The sunroof is such a rare option on the m2, cant seem to find a good video about it
It doesn’t operate any differently than any other sunroof, nothing special about it.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed i am aware that its a normal sunroof but i was considering to spec it or not and wanted to see how far ot opens :)
@@ClarityRyZze ua-cam.com/video/HL53ejC18Mo/v-deo.htmlsi=0y_OYFo3b-fRxamS
Here’s my POV review of this M2. I have three review on this exact car on the channel. It’s a big sunroof for a coupe. I’d totally spec it with one
@@BrosFOURRSpeed nice thanks a lot for linking it!!
No problem! Cool to see its a $0 cost option. I dont think its worth spending the money on the carbon roof. As much as it looks cool
Good luck getting an RS3 at MSRP. Dealerships are marking them up at least $20K.
I bought mine for MSRP, had to wait two years but you can buy them for MSRP.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed two years !? No thanks lol.
@@ricdynasty had an S3 in the meantime, just depends on what you want.
NO LIE! I called all the dealers in New England. They all wanted 10-20k over. Stupid
Depends on your area but some dealers are doing under MSRP now
M2 all day, rs3 is for the softies 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
IDK about that. RS3 is a lot faster. But M2 is some fun with the manual
@@BrosFOURRSpeedTell him.....😂😅
Both great cars depending on priorities don't be so immature lol!!
RS3 is an amazing car. Nothing soft about it. It’s very unique.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed depends on what metric you are looking at when you say "RS3 is a lot faster". As a Audi/VW/BMW fan I love all of them, so no bias here... I just think depending on your use case one each one could be better for you. The RS3 absolutely faster from a dig when looking at 0-60 and 1/4 mile times but as speeds increase the M2 takes over. When you are talking rolls M2 leaves RS3 in the dust. Again I love both and living in Colorado I'd love to have both...RS3 as my daily (especially in winter) and the M2 for when I want to do get rowdy and do track days or hit the canyons. Full transparency...I'm a F87 M2 Comp owner but have owned many VW, Audi and BMWs BTW - great work on the review!
How tf M2 65k ?!😮😮😮
In dubai 100k 😢
Dubai is a lot more expensive in general.
I’ll take a 4 door car over a 2 door m2
Yeah if you need 4 doors, it's a great option
Bet everybody choose the m2
Seems pretty 50/50. Lots of people love both and pick based on if they need two doors or four doors and AWD or RWD
The M2 is a better track weapon, yes (especially the 2025 with closer to 500 hp) but the RS3 is more unique and special and it's a great sleeper because people think it's a Corolla or something. Looking forward to the 2025 refresh which will fix the front grill, my biggest issue with the car (aside from being able to tune it). BMW will keep cranking out ugly, heavy M cars like cheeseburgers and honestly most of the owners are obnoxious
Yeah most people don't know the RS3 has a fast little motor! Both have a lot going for them for sure. It'll be interesting to see what a new M2 or RS3 looks like. I've heard things about both cars getting a refresh
rs3's design looks outdated. m2, though polarizing, looks like a 2024 car.
Both have seen a fare share of complaints. We are liking the RS3 much more now with the lower suspension
I actually love the new m2. Once u see it in traffic amongst other cars it really stands out from the pact. Rs3 just looks like every other audi.
Yeah the M2 is pretty cool! RS3 definitely looks more part of the brand. But once lowered they start looking much more aggressive
@@BrosFOURRSpeedyea the are both great cars. People will hate on anything when companies change the interior or exterior. Very annoying.
@@user-my4xu4gf1z so true! I’ve stopped caring much about how cars look. They always end up looking cool. When the new M2 and RS3 come out. People will hate it and say they loved the old one. Happens every time
the bmw m340i beats both of them for the price.
Yeah but it's not as fun to drive. It's a step down in performance. Not the same ball game. Here's my comparison with the M340 and RS3. It's a better day driver, but not as good of a performance car. ua-cam.com/video/cYCrxjs7Ucs/v-deo.html
@@BrosFOURRSpeed i’m going to oook at the m package 2 door and m package 330i as well more affordable. and look good to.
M340i isn't a true performance car like these two , and it isn't even a real M car, so it's in a league below!!
The m2 being almost 4k Lbs is crazy the supra is such a better platform. Looks better. Similar power. 400 lbs lighter. And its a supra….😂
Yeah I did a comparison with my manual Supra and a manual M2. Supra is certainly the drivers cars of the two when compared back to back. ua-cam.com/video/lfriLa3ZijY/v-deo.html
M2 is faster and has actual luxury interior with way better tech.
@@user-my4xu4gf1z Supra is more fun and looks a hell of a lot better!
M2 is not attractive at all. The last model was more pleasing to the eye. That RS3 is a sweet ride.
exactly, the M2 is ugly
Certainly subjective. Both look cool to me
I don't see these 2 as competitors, m2 is 2 door and Audi is 4 door, if you need a 4 door a m2 shouldn't even be mentioned.
ua-cam.com/video/cYCrxjs7Ucs/v-deo.htmlsi=USqxrttYg_H1oDNY
Here’s my video of the M340 vs RS3. Same price and 4 doors.
As a performance car tho the M2 and RS3 are very similar in how they drive. Also like I mentioned in the video, I’ve had several comments of viewers wanting to see this video
Both are a waste of money you could have any Corvette including the base C8 for that price. Like whats the point in paying more for less performance? bmw never won the 24hr lemans over the corvette despite competing for 20+ years. That should speak volumes as far as competitive performance goes. BMW and the RS audis actually can't even compete with the laptimes of the midpackage Camaro or Mustang on the Nurburgring which is actually both their home course. I love m3s and e30s and even owned one myself but were lying to ourselves if we're really trying to convince others that these cars are the best bang for your buck.
Not everyone wants a car derived from a racecar. These are both practical cars with space to put kids and extra items. Yes a new Corvette is a great sportscar for the money, and equally equipped costs closer to $85,000. Nobody wants a base C8. It's missing some key features that these cars will have like adaptive suspension, navigation, active exhaust and other features. I own a Lamborghini, so there wouldn't be a point to have another mid engine car. The RS3 is a great family sedan for us but it is also fun to drive and super fast. The M2 will end up replacing my Supra when I want a fun manual car with back seats.
Always the one troll that thinks he knows what's the best car for everyone, even know some people need a more useful performance car that is capable in all weather!! Get a clue!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed you say that "not everyone wants a race car" yet that would could contradict the purpose in why anyone watches this video. Lets face it, nobody means sound insulation and mpg when we're talking about spending 80k on a "performance car". a base z51 comes with all that you named actually and costed only 73k pre quarantine. you're also not addressing the fact that i said "any corvette" which includes previous generations like the C6-C7 z06 or ZR1 or even a 2018 ZL1 camaro/shelby for the same price all of which offer more performance and less depreciation for less money. My question still stands... whats the point in a bmw/audi in a conversation about performance and pricing? That's like comparing phiss to sh it in a flavor contest, its all bad 😂
@@speeddemon311 but that wasn't the point of the video now was it? All weather you say? Are you aware that a crappy rt challenger has more mechanical grip than awd crossover? Even more of a reason to save money and NOT buy a "luxury" brand for practical use. Buy American. I don't even like American cars I'm just speaking objectively.
@TvBoxHead keep trolling kiddo!🤡
I'd go for the RS3. Would only lease one tho. Every salesperson I have spoken with at Audi has told me you'll go bankrupt owning an RS car out of warranty 😂😂
Kind of silly if they actually like selling cars😂, and the RS3 and TTRS are both very reliable platforms that have a proven track record for well over a decade!! Every sales rep I've talked to says the opposite to me! These cars handle a lot of mods and power gains without an issue as well!
You' waste a ton of money leasing one. The new RS3 still goes for MSRP on the used market. Can buy one and drive it for a few years and sell it for what you paid. These are pretty easy to maintain as well
RS3 all day over that monstrosity
RS3 is a beast! But the M2 is a blast 😅
A VW front wheel drive economy car. A BMW is a BMW.
@@Kenyon712 Go drive an RS3
@Kenyon712 Yeah, an economy car you say was able to set a record in its class around the ring in Germany, and beat an 85k BMW M2 CS by a lot around that same track lol!
I just can’t get over how ugly the M2 is and I’m a bmw guy.
Won't be for everyones taste for sure
Polarizing
You can't really call either car beautiful. You have an econobox 4 door look with the RS3 but it is about performance, not looks. The M2 looks like molded concrete, a brutally ugly design with a tacked on display screen. It takes huge front tires on the M2 to hold that excessive weight in a curve. Because there is no aesthetic value in the M2 at all, I would give the win to the RS3 because aesthetics is still a component to me even though BMW and some others have given it up to save money on a their budgets.
Yeah each car is a bit odd in design. But both are really fun to drive and the looks might grow on you.
After owning a m2 for a year its definitely not pretty, but that's what i like about it, it's more like a musclar bulldog look to it, if i wants something pretty i would've bought a c8 corvette.
@@hpickettz34 Great point! I can totally see that. It’s so much fun to drive and makes serious power. I think it looks very bold and cool tho
Look is subjective. The M2 has lot of bold angular designs and wide stance. These design hues are either saturated or do not pick up well in picture and video. In person, I love the look of the car, as it is in your face bulldog look like @hpickettz34 mentioned, which constantly drawing my eyes’ attention to it. No complaint on the screen and IDrive8, it s not like BMW is the only one doing that, though I kind of wish they incorporated the screen on driver side into a digital speedometer like rs3.
A mustang gt premium with track pack for 55k trumps these both!! Sorry
ewww
In some ways sort of. But it doesn't handle as well as these and isn't as fast. Basic tuning on these cars can make 550 WHP to 700 WHP very easy. New GT is a lot of car for $10k less. But the German cars still have a leg up I think as a total package
Gt is too weak😂
The m2 smokes the dark horse
@@BrosFOURRSpeed with 10k ford will install a 3.0 whipple with a warranty making 790whp
Street speed 717 just did it how do you beat that for the money 65k 800 whp with a 3/36 warranty
The M2 is stilling getting broken in at 100 miles and youre ripping it up to 6000+ rpms
Can you please time stamp where I redlined this car past 6K? Not even close or true…
2022 I wanted an RS3 8Y, but I luckily changed my mind once BMW caught my attention with the G chassis
Oh cool. Definitely a car too!
Both great cars that won't leave their owners unhappy at the end of the day! RS3 is a little more versatile with Quattro, but the M2 has the manual option and can be a lot of fun as well!
Luckily?
One of those cars has too many doors.
Or just enough..
You only have half a brain to not understand how that could be beneficial depending on needs!!
Stage 2 RS3 will make M2 feeling really slow. Of course, you can do stage 2 for M2, but it will be borderline useless due to RWD.
Yeah you can definitely do a lot with the AWD platform!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Drifting ability is a must. It is very fun.
@@Trithij Yeah depends on people who do that. Personally I never really try and get the til out. I like grip lol
@@BrosFOURRSpeed You should try it. I drive a much slower BMW than your RS3, but it is fast enough for the city limits (with reasonable speeding over it). Drifting makes every turn/turnaround potentially fun. Just need to make sure no cops are around.

they ruined the m2 apperance
How?
@BrosFOURRSpeed Seriously I get you like it, and it grows on people after a while, which shouldn't be necessary, but the appearance is a letdown compared to such a beautiful design in the M2 comp to most people!! It's a polarizing design!
@@speeddemon311 The old one looked good too. It all BMW’s ended up looking the same over the years. Sometimes companies have to be bold to pace a new way. I’m sure when the next gen comes out. We’ll get people who say the old one was better. It happens on every car for every new generation
@BrosFOURRSpeed It doesn't happen for every car on every new generation! BMW is just on a roll in recent years because they have a new lead designer who has made many questionable decisions lol
@BrosFOURRSpeed your love of the brands performance has blinded you from seeing the boxy odd design this car truly has, and most agree, it's not a great looking car to put it nicely lol F series is peak BMW and that's a fact!! G series is plain sad overall!
M2 is so amazingly ugly. Audi is miles faster in real life due to AWD.
Yeah the AWD really give you amazing traction! Definite much quicker of a car in the back roads!
