So, does this M2 Comp stack up as a proper modern E30 successor now? Would love to hear the thoughts of M fans!! Coming up next is the AMG A35 review: first minute of December 5th, mark you calendars!! 😈 - Raz
Drive joes 6mt new car. The manual suits the s55 engine so much better in the f80’s. Will take you back too feeling like your in a old school turbo car. The dct is very linear and doesn’t give you the sense of power unlike the manual.people don’t appreciate the manual cars and review them!
The M2 cp its an extremely heavy vehicle, its 90 lbs heavier than an M3 and 150 lbs compared to standar M2 .An authentic circuit vehicle will never get added weight. Not always what is new , mean its better. Its all about sales.
We'll see. I'm testing one next week as my lease is ready to end on my M4. I did drive the last gen M2 and liked it quite a bit, though I only drove it a few hours. BTW - Nice Sunday Night Football theme music for your intro.
Thank you for a wonderful genuine in depth review I have sat on my thoughts all day and I'm still angry Are we Not allowed to have nice things? As an M lover and owner for over 20 years this car is pretty close to perfect to what i hoped for and i have been excited to see it, but the New rules making them strangle the sound using particulate filters? Making cars quieter makes me so angry it litterally puts me off the car, and i love the car, I have been waiting for this car as i always felt the M4 was too big, i wanted a smaller lighter car, this is still heavy but it's closer in size and looks to what I want, I don't want to remove the exhaust, remove filters and possibly void warranty, I want the to government to let sports cars be sporty, what a real shame As a M lover I am Genuinley gutted about this, the car has everything I wanted except for the sound, but losing the sound is enough to make me not buy the car, Jaguar F types still make amazing sounding cars, there is a way around it, I would rather emitions tax costs be higher and at least get a car that sounds right, this is the car that pushed me away from M cars, from a genuinly gutted M lover, I'm guessing the sound deadening is to do with emitions and tax? M lovers like me are willing to pay higher tax prices to get the car we want, the filters and deadening seem 100% pointless to me I really don't understand this direction for BMW, the M cars are about the sound as much as the drive Thank you Dennis Thanks guys I'm sure other people think like me,
Honestly this is my favorite channel, the information is amazing the way he shows the history of the cars over the years and how he transitions from one to another honestly this channel should have WAY more subscribers! I own an M2, and love AMG as well!!!
Great review! I really appreciate how you can give an unbiased review on the BMW being an unapologetic AMG fan! What that makes you is a true car guy! I’m a BMW fan but there are a lot things I really love about AMG, AUDI, and especially Porsche. Because in the end I love cars and have since I was a little boy. Rick
The M2 Competition is really THE best M-Car at any price point.. OMG the exhaust note is amazingly aggressive. Dakota leather is certainly “real” BMW leather and wears very well in the BMW world. As far as the “M” line up...Yea the M5c is a fast cruiser but it’s balance is not there and it’s way too big to handle like a scalpel. This is a true focused track animal.
Great video, so well presented, the I formation is clear and correct but the actual quality of the filming and editing is amazing. It's great for someone with so less subscribers compared to others.
Superb video - an awful lot of work has gone into it, and you communicate a tremendous amount of information while also making it pleasant to watch. Haven't watched any of your videos before, I will now look out for them. I'm delighted that the review is positive since there is an M2 Comp on the way - manual and in a very similar spec to Joe's. The only thing I didn't like was your look-warm feelings towards the E36 and E92 M'3's (which I had either side of an E46) and which I thought were great at the time. The E92 V8 was gorgeous. Well done.
As an m140 owner the m2 never seemed to offer much more car over the 140, at least not enough to warrant paying the extra. The M2 Competition however has left me feeling like I need to own it!! Great video.
The M2 cp its an extremely heavy vehicle, its 90 lbs heavier than an M3 and 150 lbs compared to standar M2 .An authentic circuit vehicle will never get added weight. Not always what is new , mean its better. Its all about sales.
@@Grabonator86 2018 m3 ( 3490 lbs ) vs m2 competition ( 3600 lbs) . And Standar m2 ( 3450 lbs ) wich its lighter than an m3 and m2 cp. You can google it. So the m2 cp its a very heavy vehicle.
Never really known about your channel before, was searching for M2 comp reviews and came across your video. Very impressed with the production and knowledge, and being unbiased as a Merc fan! Really liked the video. Question for me now is do I keep my deposit on the supra or get this!
Man your videos are just fantastic. Brilliantly put together, awesome CGI. And really in depth and well thought through reviews. I agree regards the seats, I think the finance department at BMW made a colossal mistake before on the previous M2 regards the seats. Almost an insult to have ‘lite’ seats. I also think BMW’s options on this M2 are crazy - why such a limited range of options especially colours?! Must be down to manufacturing capacity but the range of colours is so limited!
I couldn't figure out if the car was actually sitting on your drive until the camera angle changed at 9:26, great video. My favourite thing about the M2 competition... it's release got me £9500 off a standard M2.
Great video, outlines my thoughts as a previous model M2 owner, I find my new Competition 30% better in every way. The front feels more connected to a controlled firmer rear, that rose jointing on the rear has made a huge difference along with reprogrammed steering linked to the strut brace. This is my daily and compared to my other supercars it makes you wonder how much quicker anybody could be cross country compared to this car. Looking forward to the special limited edition car that will follow although hard to believe it could be much better. I class this car as a mini Porsche GT3 car, best M car currently produced by a large margin.....
just saw one. it looks ghastly. really ghastly from the side and back. but from what I can tell, it is one hell of a car and looks great from the front
21:57 AMG also have the new particulate filter, but the facelift C63 S still sounds really good. The bigger issue with this car is the new engine, it doesn't as nice as the previous one.
Great video and production value love the cars on the driveway instead of photos but please that beeping transition noose between the cars is so piercing!
I absolutely love your channel and honestly good work on the M2 comp review, I may however add that ,that "clicking" sound when the graphics change is extremely annoying
i dont know if i prefer this over the standard one i love how the standard one sounds but i definitely prefer your reviews over all the other boring ones
1M!!!!!! Perfect M car. Best of the analog era tech. Real drivers car. M2 and comp is like playing a game. The computer does all the work for you. Just a point and shoot car maybe suitable for the new generation of young drivers. Good M car none the less.
I'm really looking forward to the new M3/M4. The new 3 series LOOKS awesome, really ahead of the current C class and A4, I think its time in the 3ers evolution where they have hit a sweet spot in terms of design. Really cant wait to see how the new 4 series looks. That with the electric tech. Apparently Bmw can build induction engines, hybrids and Ev on the same production line. Meaning we could have hybrid M cars really soon or ICE maybe even pure electric M. I do think Bmw will pull ahead of the completion significantly in 2019. Teslsa could never put an induction engine in there cars, BMW can do all three. Its pretty amazing stuff.
Yeah I think the F80 is the best looking among the bunch. But the M2 looks better than the M4. I only chose the m2 cos of Budget constraints. Wish I could afford the M3
AMG need to give us a direct rival to this! 3 doors & 3 door coupes in particular are only available in the much bigger and more expensive models. You'd of thought the new A45 and new CLA 45 would be the obvious options but again 5 door only (as far as I know)
Purely aesthetically--I don't care for the lower front end "over styling", if I can be convinced that those protruding fins are properly functional then I may change my mind but until then--Less is MORE. ("previous M2") Extra racket settings don't do much for me unless you need the audio feedback which you might.
Question. This video was published on Dec 2018 and on 14:19 it showed the service is due on 08/2020. Does all M car has a longer service time in between? Why is it so?
Even being more into AMG, the BMW M2 and Competition version is one M car that I’ve always been interested in because it’s light, agile, RWD, has an option for a manual gearbox, it’s not as costly as some other M cars like say a BMW M4 CS, also as for sound I like the previous M2 sound more but the S55 engine is decent in sound ok that’s all🤷🏾♂️😂
So, does this M2 Comp stack up as a proper modern E30 successor now? Would love to hear the thoughts of M fans!! Coming up next is the AMG A35 review: first minute of December 5th, mark you calendars!! 😈

I NEED IT
Another incredible video buddy, Thanks sooo much for the big shout out!!! It must be the evening for M2 Competition content ;-) See you soon bro x
Enjoying your video's Joe. Very tempted to pull the trigger on a Hockenheim Silver myself. Keep it out the ditches mate!
Haha will try Richard, cheers for your support!

Visual effects are amazing on this vid
Thanks man!
11:04 Even changing caliper colors from silver to blue is a lovely detail.
Probably the most detailed review I’ve seen. Especially the 1st part when talking about the history... superbly done sir! 👌🏾
legit the best reviewer on UA-cam.
Too kind!! Thanks man.

This channel is criminally undersubscribed. Top quality content man, can't wait to see you get crazy popular
Great video, with quality special effects! Cracked me up when Joe Achilles actually started talking. I didn't think he was there either! lol

I’ve been looking forward to this review from you so much! 😍 I’m so glad I have one on the way 🙌🏽 cannot wait!! Thoroughly enjoyed this video Raz
Most welcome! Congrats man
Really enjoyed this review Raz. I picked up a M2C a week ago and I’m in love with it.
Great video, so well presented, the I formation is clear and correct but the actual quality of the filming and editing is amazing. It's great for someone with so less subscribers compared to others.
You sold me on this M2C! Great review and great filming. Flying down the road in the silver and those leaves.....
Great review 👌🏼 Love the level of detail you go into

Took delivery of my M2C on Halloween 2018. It is, indeed, all it's hyped to be. Agile, sleek, quick...
Nice review, visual effects, and history lesson!

Thanks so much buddy! Yes totally agree. AMG do the same on the A45, and it's a strategy of self harm.
Any interior color you want as long as it is all black.
I couldn't figure out if the car was actually sitting on your drive until the camera angle changed at 9:26, great video.
My favourite thing about the M2 competition... it's release got me £9500 off a standard M2.
You deserve way more subscribers young man great content greetings from usa
This should be a 1 million sub, keep it up.
At first I thought this was Taco from The League...I thought to myself now THIS is going to be an entertaining review!

Amazing narration. Transitioned seamlessly from car to car as if they were actually in front of you.
You have such great commentary and production value in your videos. Keep up the great work!
Best review Ive seen in a while.. and the best thing BMW have made in ages!
The front looks so mean!!! Good job BMW.
Super aggressive!
Looks cheap and ASIAN.....KIA LIKE...FORZA ALFA BABY!!!!
just saw one. it looks ghastly. really ghastly from the side and back. but from what I can tell, it is one hell of a car and looks great from the front
This came out 3 months after a bought my M2. A part of me wishes I waited!
Love the history lesson and the superimposed comparisons (and superimposed reality - Joe! 😋). Good to see appreciation, even from an AMG fan 👍
Fabulous review. Can’t believe I haven’t seen this.
Best review for M2 Compilation
This was one of the best car videos I've ever seen!
Please, mate, make those BLEEPS quieter. They ruin the whole video for me!
Thanks for the feedback, will do!
Remove Before Race lol yeah it scared me just now
Realised what went wrong! Using the wrong file, wont happen again guys! @@allymacky4039
I think they were fine
they scared the shit out of me
Great result !Love my original
M2 !! Now it's a classic !¡ cant wait for te M2 comp vs A45 AMG !!! Pleaseeeee next time VFX introduction like G Wagon
Effects on your videos are slick! Love them
It's always a pleasure to watch your vids.
Great colab with Joe and brilliant review. top job🔥
You need to turn that beep when you’re switching cars down like 6 dB
See comments above: used the wrong damn file! Usually much quieter. Won't happen again
Remove Before Race no worries just speculation, great review as always!
that Edit with Joe was on point. Well done. lol
Seen many M2 Competition reviews, but got to be best one yours. Great job!
Great vid. Well done on your high quality content as usual 👍
Bmw fanboy here, on a MB channel. I like it
Haha, not just MB now ;)
Top notch effects!! Great video
I honestly enjoy your reviews 👌🏽👌🏽
Damn this was well done. Next level production.
imagine someone watching him how he talks to a blank space for half an hour and telling it how beautiful and gorgeous looking it is :D
I imagine someone calling police on him and being taken to a psychiatric hospital where they'd diagnose him with Bavarian schizophrenia.
Exceptionally good video. Informative in every way. Thank you

Yep, but AMG are exhaust experts! As you say, C63S in my review is unbelievable
@@RemoveBeforeRace Indeed AMGs sound heavenly! Especially the AMG GTR, I love it's deep muscular rumble, literally shakes windows.
Haha when Joe came to life 😂 2 legends!
damn... nice review... straight to the point!
First time viewer, loved the vid, thanks
Nice review, especially coming from AMG cars. Nice cameo by Joe. Wish either you are Joe lived in the states at least part of the year.
Would love to see an 1m review!
Fantastic video, Sir
Can’t wait to actually drive one irl! Maybe next year 😁
Great review mate! Definitely my favourite M car in the current line up..
Very well writen and presented! Thumbs up
He always wanted to be a weather man.
Cool video!
Great video and production value love the cars on the driveway instead of photos but please that beeping transition noose between the cars is so piercing!
Love my 2021 M2C I will never get rid of it.
This is the nicest m2 I’ve seen in my life
Great review, very informative. many thanks!
Excellent analysis and review.
The M2 looks like the Bees knees. No other coupe comes close 👍 . Great vid 👍
super creative edit, subbed.
I liked just because the intro was so cool.
Fantastic video
Regarding optioning up higher. I agree with you. It's a real pity that you can't.
I absolutely love your channel and honestly good work on the M2 comp review, I may however add that ,that "clicking" sound when the graphics change is extremely annoying

Great M2 Comp review Raz ! Amazing car - would you take the M2Comp over the Alfa Quadrofoglio you also reviewed ?
Outstanding presentation, you just earned a new subscriber one video in haha Really though, well done.
Excellent Review!
Duude thats one awesome video!
Thanks man. Now you’ve got me thinking M2 instead of M3.
Try them both, don't listen to this. I think you will change your mind.
Yeah I think the F80 is the best looking among the bunch. But the M2 looks better than the M4. I only chose the m2 cos of Budget constraints. Wish I could afford the M3
rents Yea I too have a budget but may be willing to push it a bit

Sounded really good tbh 🤔
22:26 with this foliage on the ventilation grills you like to test the cooling system right?
I am wondering how does it ride? for daily uses
