Am I the only one who loves the look of these
You got me also 😃🙌
@@thedevthing haha the only two people in the world!
The only one.
Join the club 😂🙌😃
I have an IOMG M4 (G82). Wife just ordered a G87 last Saturday. I think with a few minor exterior upgrades, like what's in this video, it is a great looking car. So I guess there are three (four) of us?
The exterior mods make the car looks so good 👌
🙏😃 Not an aggressive aero kit, but it does the job 😃 🙌
@@thedevthing You gonna get the M2 CS?
Maybe, if it has a manual, it would be hard to ignore 🙌😃
Just started looking/considering these M2s - yours sits absolutely perfect. Love the kit as well. Thanks for sharing!
🙏🙌😃 thank you watching.
Good luck on your hunt. G87 M2 is better than most give it credit 😅
I own a comp and have never been overly impressed by the new M2 looks. Until I just seen your car 👌🏻.
Stunning.
Appreciate that. 🙌😃🙏
first G87 M2 i have seen and thought, wow that actually looks great. Subtle but very effective. Subscribed.
I appreciate the support and thank you for joining the channel 🙌😃🙏
Those wheels and that fitment….spot on 🤙🏻
Thank you 🙌😃🙏
I love the look of this car. Wasn’t blown away seeing photos and videos but in the flesh it’s something else
💯 agree with that
Car looks epic !!! love the color and the mods are subtle yet very present wheels are perfect so is the lowered stance. M2 was badmouthed unjustifiably when it came out. Its a pearl
🙌😃💪
It’s gorgeous .. I love the styling and I’m super impressed .. it looks tough, and sharp ..
Appreciate the feedback 🙌😃🙏
I actually love it. The chunky funky look... The aero kit makes it look more complete. I love the Zandvoort blue also , because I have a Veloster N in performance blue which is very similar to the Zblue. Wheel color is perfect. I'd love to get one at some point. Looks awesome!!! I had a bimmer years ago, A 2000 2.8L Z3 in Atlantic Blue I bought in 2003 was fun to drive. Had it 6 years.
Agree with you and the z3 sounds amazing 😃🙌
I see this is in Ottawa. Picking up my M2 next week. Can't wait!
Yeah it’s in Ottawa 🙌😃 congrats on yours 🙌
dude the rims are amazinggggg what a great choice my G
Thank you 😃 I appreciate that 🙏🙌
Absolutely great video! You deserve 1M subs…likely get there soon.
Appreciate the support 🙌😃🙏
Nice video. That car looks amazing.
Thank you, I appreciate that 😃
Great video man! GT3 looking mean in the back! Really well presented and well spoken. Keep it up :)
Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback. Always looking to improve 😃🙌
The more I see this car the more I love it. It looks so so good and agressive!
🙌😃🙏 it’s definitely an acquired taste for this M2 😃😅
Hated the looks of this car. But thanks to you I’m starting to love it. You’re right - you’ve really completed it
Thank you, 🙌😃🙏
The m2 is not perfect, but it really ticks a lot of the boxes and the many aftermarket options make it so fun 😃🙌
Love this car, don’t sell! I am genuinely enjoying your passion for this car!
🙌🙏😃 appreciate that a lot 😃
WOW!!!!! Looks outstanding and 6MT FTW!!!!!!! Thats a major statement enjoying the M2 on that level. My G80 6MT is 100% stock and it's still an absolute BEAST!!!!!
For some enthusiasts, not much is required to extract fun and engagement. For me the simple stuff that allows me to be part of the driving is sufficient. The steering could be better, but the car makes for it with power 😃🙌
Absolutely love this new M2.
My OG M2 is the best looking M2 of all I think, but this new one is just a mega thing.
🙌🙏😃 either M2 is a great car to own, drive and mod.
G87 has some modern tech that I love 🙌😃
Following from Ireland. I’ve a Zandvoort G87 Auto and I’m currently looking at your videos for guidance re modding. Keep the G87 going 👏
Amazing thank you for the support and congrats on your ride.
The AutoID guys are so much closer to you that the could probably outfit your car in a day 🙌😃😅
@@thedevthing Thank you 👍 It will all be happening very soon and I’ll forward on the pics once completed. Keep up the great content 👌
Love mine 🎉 BMW keep it alive & thx for the update ❤
🙌😃🙏
great looking M2 in my opinion and so much better looking that the G80 M3 i just sold. seeing those rolling shots of the F80, G87 and G80 was nice to see in one frame.
Thank you 🙏🙌😃
The practicality of the g80 M3 makes me lean towards it sometimes. But the M2 is fav so far as it’s so wide looking.
It’s such a great feeling seeing your own cars rolling. It’s often not something we get to see in our ownership. I am glad we were able to make these videos 😃🙌
Extremely tastefully done sir well done
Thank you, I appreciate that 😃🙌🙏
Best looking G87 M2 ive ever seen. those wheels OMG
Appreciate that a lot 🙌😃🙏
Thanks for the video, I'm about to order one, very similar same blue and manual transmission.
Amazing, congrats on your buy 🙌😃💪
My God, your build is, as you stated, very subtle but noticable. I wanted an A90 (Bupra) but this...just wow. And Im not that much of a Bimer guy. Can't wait to see future mods etc.
Thank you, I appreciate it 😃🙌🙏.
I like the usability of the M2 over the Supra. The supra is an amazing car too, I love the design 😃
You're so right about Porsche. My friend is jumping through hoops to get a 992 GTS. New M2 has my attention, as long as the brake issue is solved.
💯💯 911 orders are so hard because it’s hard to get the options you want. 🤦♂️😃
Hi, great video thanks. I agree with you about the steering. When I picked my car up (UK) a couple of weeks ago I was convinced there was a problem with the steering, it was/is far too light and didn't feel at all safe. So glad you have outlined your thoughts on the steering and convinced me that it's not my imagination. However, I'm delighted with my M2 overall and was one of a small minority who actually loved the car from my first on-line view over a year ago. Thanks
Thank you for watching the video 😃
What you saying the steering being too light can be adjusted by going to M2 mode or changing the steering to sport plus.
My feedback is that the steering is not as connected feeling as the Porsche. I don’t feel unsafe with the M2 steering at all 😃🙌
Hi, thanks for getting back to me, agreed I should probably have used your analogy of not feeling connected. I haven't played around with any of the other settings yet but of all the other cars I've driven in my 50 odd year driving experience this is the first car I have experienced that gives me the impression of being disconnected with the road but I'm sure I will get used to it. Another thing that has disappointed me is the lack of blind spot warning in the side mirror which although described in the drivers manual isn't an option on my car. I find that surprising given all the other safety features that are included as I would rate the blind spot warning as the most useful. BMW tut tut!@@thedevthing
@@michaelcox4344 a valid point for sure. Most likely a bunch of cost cutting to keep the price of the car down. 🙌😃
The front lip has completely changed the look of this car, soo much better!
🙌🙌😃
Excellent video! Love the m2 content
Thank you, I appreciate the support 🙌😃🙏
nice..good mods...nice car too 👍👍
Glad you like them! 😃
Definitely do a full exhaust! Great work so far with the car.
Thank you 🙌😃
I have yet to decide. I fear the downpipes will make it too droney 🤔
@@thedevthing In my experience with all my past BMW's, downpipes have never added drone it's usually the exhaust itself that can drone. Hopefully another local g87 owner with an exhaust setup will let you hear it!
Awesome recap video. I think I will decide my exhuast setup after your video
Thank you 😃 I am hoping to decide on a setup soon. Midpipe or catback.
Perfectly modded! Such a sexy looking M2!
Thank you, I appreciate that 🙌😃🙏
Tastefully modded! Bravo 👏🏾
🙌😃🙏
great garage. own a GT3 manual and would still love an M2; agree that for the $ hard to beat especially IF one wants a manual transmission. awesome mods kudos, yer tempting me more than I wanted. 😂
Thank you for watching and I am glad it got you tempted with the M2. 😃
Although with the Gt3 manual, I think I would pick the GT3 every time, unless I was taking the family along too 😃
Amazing color! 🔥
🙌😃🙏
One of my favorite M2s
🙌😃🙏 appreciate that
Always enjoy your videos man, just picked up my G87 as well and worth every penny. Delivery vid on my channel and more to come.
Thank man, appreciate the support and I have checked out channel out. Great stuff 🙌😃
Super solid video. Have had my G87 for roughly a month now - and thoroughly enjoying it compared to my previous M340i. Way different beast. I am also waiting out on exhaust options for the car - in particular, waiting for AWE's offering to come out. They had a great sounding exhaust for the M340i. As for my personal mods, I've just got yellow DRL's and a carbon spoiler that arrived (yet to be installed) and I am thinking I need a front splitter + springs next to really complete the look of the car. Eventually, I'd love to do a full body kit but that ADRO kit is above my paygrade for now (I'm 27 and live in the Bay Area, it's fucking pricy here!).
Thank you 🙌😃🙏
Congrats on your M2 and glad you are loving it.
ADRO and Alpha-N are very expensive, the stuff that AutoID has is so reasonable on $$ and still amazing quality. They have maxton design parts now and they even less $$ as they have non-carbon options 😃🙌
Look at CT carbon
Your M2 is 🔥🔥🔥
🙏🙌😃
Not hating, everyone isn't hating. The car is simply too heavy and just doesn't look good, doesn't mean I'm a hater just objective facts. You even said it has potential after it's lowered, with aero kit and rims, thus acknowledging that the car doesn't look good, almost as if those are prerequisites.
Appreciate you feedback 😃🙌
Great content as usual. Curious what your comparison is between KWs and Cobra springs in terms of comfort and drivability. I love how comfortable this car is when needed and really don’t want to lose that, since I daily drive my car. Also, I hope his is not the last episode on this car, as I really enjoy your input on mods.
You find the M2 to have a comfortable ride? Compared to what exactly? I find it quite stiff and I've had quite a few stiff suspension sports cars.
@@Japplesnap in comfort mode, it drives like a dream. Can drive for hours and not feel tired. Can drive hard in sports mode in backroads pulling 1g+, and not feel exhausted. This suspension is extremely dialed in.
Thank you. KW might have been slightly more comfortable than the cobra. But honestly I find both equally in ride quality. I drive it I comfort now. I would say it feels somewhere in between sport and comfort with the stock suspension 😃
@@thedevthing thanks, appreciate the input.
very well done
😃🙌🙏
Stunning wheels
🙏🙌😃
I'm a few days away from finally receiving and driving mine - really looking forward to it. I'm surprised you didn't cover up some of the air inlets at the front, for radiator protection.
Congrats on you M2.
I didn’t want the vent inserts yet. The radiators have protection on manual cars already. The auto does not have radiator protection
@@thedevthingthe transmission cooler protects the radiator in the auto, although now the transmission cooler is exposed🤷🏼♂️. You can see it on my channel where I show it up close (delivery day vid). Still no clue why BMW didn’t install some sort of plastic hive pattern protection like they do on some other cars, one can only assume engineering knew what they were doing with air flow needs.
Beautiful car
🙌😃🙏
I actually was on the list for the m2 but the wait was too long so i got a supra. Love the supra, but man those little mods you did made a huge difference over stock.
🙏🙌😃 Congrats on the super. 🙌😃 the M2 is getting easier to attain now I believe
Wheels and stance makes this car 👍🏼
🙌🙏😃
I love this car
🙌😃🙏
These wheels are insane
🙌😃🙏
those rims are where it's at!
🙌🙌😃
IV loved these M2's since they came out. I think they look unreal. I still think the m3 & m4 beevers look absolutely awful and I think BMW do as well hence them making the kidney grills smaller again. The job you have done on yours is stunning, Great job 🤙
I appreciate that. The M2 is not a pretty car, but it has new lines that make the car very different from any other BMW 😃🙌
Amazing looking car. Btw, this caliper issue seems to be more common. I’ve seen a number of people have failure with them. GT3 RS is brutal for road driving, I’d always suggest if you’re not tracking get a standard GT3
Surprisingly the Gt3RS is very compliant on the roads. It eats up the bumps really well. Car is very predictable. 🙌😃
GT3RS is on track a couple of times a year and it’s a blast 😃🙌
Best looking g87 for the real world 10/10. Love the color 4:22
😃🙌🙌🙏💪
Okeefeist you are the only who likes the look but this I must say is modified perfect. Looks good
🙏🙌😃
@@thedevthing don’t change anything about the looks lol. It’s perfect in my eyes.
Love the wheels
🙌😃🙏
Damn that color is Godly on the M2
🙏🙌😃
Thanks for the impressive videos! Are you in GTA area? Will you planning drive it through the winter? I’m almost make the decision but I have to have one that can be driven in the winter. My last RWD C63 was a nightmare.
🙌😃🙏
I am in ottawa. The M2 will be parked away for the winter. Although I think the RWD would be so much fun in the snow. I don’t think it’s as savage as the C63. This one feels like it has a lot more grip and you can tune that to the level of play you want in the M2 😃🙌
The Porsche 996 of the BMW world.
😂😂🙌😃
This car single-handedly changed my mind about the g87. I get it now. Coming from a previous e60 m5 e92 m3 and now e36 guy. 11:10
That’s an amazing roadmap of cars 😃🙌
@@thedevthing thank you. I was definitely very lucky and fortunate. My dream car would be a e36 with a v10 from the M5 and I’d take that to the grave.
I couldn’t take my eyes off the GT3 RS. I need it in that colour.
🙌😃😂💪
You're a 1000% correct Porsches are insanely expensive now.
It deters me from a brand new Porsche 911. With lux tax and the 20% bump in price etc. I rather wait for a depreciated version. GT cars on the other hand, its something. Its in a bubble of its own and likely the only Porsche I would buy brand new.
My Brother has a G87 M2 in red coming soon with a manual.
We are in Australia
PS The brake problem. I have warned my Bro already.
I heard it's got something to do with rust on the brake pads from to long on the ship.
No idea how true.
PS Love your M2 content. I'm one that loves the new M2 look but still admits that the F87 was better overall.
The Net just went overboard like always.😎
Thats awesome. Congrats to your brother.
The brake issue, I don't see rust being a thing as these cars are assembled in Mexico and to get to Canada/US its transported by road. So I don't see the correlation with that. Hope BMW will investigate the issue and root cause it. 😃
You should wrap it in matte grey bro with the carbon bits it’s gonna pop amazing
I am not sure about a matte finish. But it’s an idea worth exploring for sure 🙌😃
It reminds me of the need for speed/Fast and furious street racing cars but it's factory build 👍 That's why I like the looks 👍
That’s a good point. The wide fenders gives it a stance like nothing else out there 🙌😃
it seems the brake issue has become very common Vehicle Virals Channel.
I didn’t realize how common it is. I wonder what the cause of it is 🤨 I will check out his video to see if there is any other feedback 😀
If I bought this M2 in this color I would do a matte PPF to make it 🥶Also it would have looked cool to paint match the carbon fiber body kit, also PPF’d in matte.
I am debating on painting the CF parts. 😃
There is another G87 M2 on IG with the matte PPF in the same color. It looks awesome.
looks like a homage to the older BMWs
🙌😃💪
Beautiful car man
I just bought one , do you have problem with speed bump by dropping it?
Congrats on your ride.
Speed bumps here are not bad. The average size ones I can drive straight on. Bigger ones I have to do the angled approach thing 😃🙌
Making me want to pull the trigger on one faster! Question though... cobra springs but any wheel spacers on this??
Do it 😂
No spacers required. I added them to the stock wheels to give it a more aggressive stance.
If you just lower the car on stock wheels, it will be fine. No spacers needed.
Same, i have a 911 porsche but not gt3rs of course (I can only wish) but I like driving my bmw 1 series manual transmission more than my Porsche, maybe because it is an automatic too lol
I think if I had a manual GT3, I might not want to drive anything else 😂😃
Lol my garage is also a Zandvoort Blue M2 but a Riviera Blue GT4 RS. We have similar taste 😄That said, I daily'ed the 4RS for 2.5 months while waiting for the M2 to come in. The steering feels so numb compared to the Porsche. The more I drive it the more I like it but still it's an adjustment.
Congrats on the GT4RS . It’s amazing, it’s hard to drive anything else after you drive a GT car 😂😃
Very tasteful. 👌
🙌😃🙏
Nice! Are you planning to drive it in the winter?
No unfortunately no. It will be kept in the garage through the winter 😃
The Quattro in the RS5 is much better for winter duty
How many KM? Im in Canada as well and had mine 4 months as well and just rolled over 18,000KM and love it!
I am at around 4500 kms now.
18k kms is amazing. You have been properly driving it 😃🙌
sorry bro I cant see anymore, this gift of gods are killing me
🙌🙌😃😂🙏🙏
Im a owner fo the M2 Comp in Hockenheim Silver, also living Near Hockenheim :) Im still not a Fan of the new M2 G87, what i want to say is , u need to modify the car that i looks good, the F87 was on release near perfekt. Also im using Edelweiss in Champagne on mine too :)
That’s amazing. Yeah I agree with you. BMW out of factory does not look very good. It almost feels like BMW knows it’s going to be modded, maybe it’s part of the master plan to keep the ecosystem of tuners alive. 😃🙌
The mods do improve the looks, stock its a 2/10 at best, with those mods it is a 4/10. Good job!
I appreciate that 🙌😃
@vehiclevirlas has the same issue but he was not covered under warranty
Where are you located in Canada? I have a M4 Comp X-Drive and just put an offer in on a Brooklyn Grey M2.
I am in ottawa 😃🙌
M2 will be a great addition 😃
Yesterday may 25 I get my G87 M2 and is the best car I have 😫
That’s amazing, congrats on your purchase 🙌😃
You planning to mod it?
@@thedevthing So in the meantime I will only do the aesthetic thing, maybe when the engine stretches better I will change the air filters.
I probably would have gone this direction if I didn’t get a G80
🙌😃😃 congrats on your G80
@@thedevthing 😎
Those wheels looking great!! whats the brand of the wheels thanks:))
Thank you 🙌🙏😃
The wheels are Edelweiss
www.edelweiss.one/
I must admit the car lowered, with the M performance parts, and custom wheels looks great. Much better than stock. Im wondering however why not just get the M4? Its not like it ways any more, they both have the same weight, and its more power.
I really wanted something different from everything else out there. I did love the front of the M3/M4.
I'd take the M2 over the M3 or M4 just because of the horrible grille on those two cars. People said it would grow on me. It hasn't. The M2 looks really good though.
🙌😃 the G8X m3/m4 looks great lowered with some nice wheels. It seem like the case with any car stock. Once you mod it, it truly starts to shine. Having such variety or cars is a good thing IMO 😃🙌
What looks amazing in our eyes might be the opposite in another and vice versa 😃🙌
What rims are those? Do you
Mind sharing where you bought them and that they are? Ty
Wheels are from www.edelweiss.one
I made a connection with Erik via Instagram. Let me know if you want me to connect you 😃
Is this a different cooler type or is only the cooler in another color? In general, I think a black cooler is more neutral.
Stock factory color Zandvoort Blue 😃🙌
Did you have any issues having your brakes covered under warranty(since your car has suspension modifications)?
No issues
Thank God for the manual. It would suck if someone got this car w/ the torque converter
🙌😂👍
These look wayyyyyyy better than tht g80 m4/m3 just needs to be set up right
💯💯🙌😃
The wheels!!!!!
🙌🙌😃
Maybe you'll replace the G87 M2 with an older car I went to a 997 C2 to modify after getting out of an early M2 which was great, I dont miss anything modern and I have a 991.1 GT3 as well and love the older 997 just as much after a few tweaks. My next car will beholder again
This was my initial thinking. I could not a 997 that appealed to me. I previous had a 997.2 GTS and that has set the bar for my next 997 🤦♂️
So it’s going to be a waiting game, till then the M2 fills the void 😃
Yes the GTS would be tough to beat if you dont go for the GT3, not sure two GT3's is the right decision, but interesting though !
I've added new arms, bushes KWV3, Forged rims, X Pipe, qucikshift and a few other tweaks to get it more of a GT/C2 cross and although less power its still a nice drive and the 3.6 is quite revvy@@thedevthing
@@adrianadrianp5305 that’s amazing. You have a special car 🙌😃
sheeeeeeeeesh
🙌😃
I just got a 2024 G87 and I want to mod it, yet i don’t want to void my warranty. How do u know what voids and what doesn’t void the warranty?
It really depends. Modding the engine is auto warranty void.
Wheels are safe, suspension is safe because you can get the stock ones out back into. But BMW sells their own M-performance lowering springs, so you could so that without any worry.
I hated the look of the car in photos, but in real life, it looks mega.
🙌😃💯
Nice video. The one thing that ticks me off about BMW with the G87 is why not listen to us owners and futures owners (I have one on order) and just swap out the manual box for the Toyota manual box in the Supra. It's exactly the same transmission a little reworked with Toyota magic and it so much better than BMWs. Also BMW has had now plenty of time to work on their electric steering and yet they are still way behind Porsche's. Why? At the very least they should be closer with road feel. Those two things IMO keep this car from being borderline magical. As it is, it's one of the biggest bargains in the sport/GT car world in a long long time.
Let’s hope the M2 CS will be magical 🙌😃🙌
I liked the retro look day 1. I don't like the big grill from the m3. Looks like cell from dbz
With you about the M3, though I think it’s starting to grow on people. 🙌😃
🤩
🙌😃
Do the csl flash and the steering will be better.
Does that really help? That would be amazing if so. Have you tried it? 😃🙌
@@thedevthing it's an original from factory flash that will improve the gear change and steering for sure. I'm waiting on your feedback when you've tried it out. 😉 I'm driving a GTi Mk7 stage 2 as daily but the next one will be this marvellous rally looking m2 in black, hopefully with an alpha m package. Just waiting for the 2025 bullrun. :D
