Great video mate! Just got a M2c 8 weeks ago from a m140 too. Been for the run in service, just starting to open it up properly. Defs agree it’s a massive step up in terms of handling from the m140 the diff gives loads of extra grip on exit. Keep the brilliant videos coming
That is the most impressive part to me about the M2C, is coming out of corners and opening. Its so ez to control and stabilizes fast. Balance is what separates it. Had the M235x before. Cant go back.
Just found your channel good video overview, been looking at the M2 for a while and was originally looking at 1st gen but so many say the comp is better (keep hearing proper M2). Subscribed and liked! Keep up the good work.
A major service at a BMW specialist will cost around £400, and they are often better than main dealers. Again with a warranty, go independent and pay another £400py, not a grand...
Great video man, think you kind of convinced me why I should order the M2C and swap it for my M140. I've also been thinking about an X3M as a better daily drive....
Haha thank you mate! You won’t be disappointed if you do, it’s a much more capable sports car for sure!! X3M is probably a better daily, being an suv however
It's subjective but I think your exhaust sounds fine. I have noticed that the exhaust on BMWs bed in around 8K ,by then most have changed their exhaust.
You know what Carl...? I agree. After making this video and hearing the clips, I’ve come around and now think the exhaust sounds perfectly fine. Making changes is a lot of money, for something that already sounds great OEM. I’ll still spray that muffler black though 😁
The stock exhaust in non-EU and non-UK markets sounds even better because there's no mandated particulate filters. It's a pity that idiots (including owners of the original M2) don't acknowledge this - apart from comparing 2 completely different engines (N55 vs S55).
I’m a little confused regarding servicing . I was told the M2 comp needs a service every two years or 18,000 miles . The major service is done at 36,000 miles and not at 15,000 as you say on the video
Was hoping no one would spot that mistake 😂😂 You’re right by the way, my sources were wrong! 18k miles from run in service for a minor then 18k after that for a major haha
Diggn your m2c man! I have a c43 coupe which I absolutely love BUT there are times like when I watch videos like this when I wished I at least test drove one before ordering my car lol. Best of luck with your new ride! Cheers!
Spot on review👌🏻 except for maybe the end and making some believe the OG is comparable. It isn't. The OG is more nimble and definitely good used value, but the Competition pulls like a train and rides better. It is a full M whereas the OG is challenged by an M240i now.
It only rides "better" because it weighs almost 200lbs more. The only real difference is the engine and the brakes, but I wouldn't even consider the brakes an upgrade since you cannot fit any aftermarket wheels on them. Just remember that if BMW considers it a true M car, it is a true M car.
@@enrique- you're not entirely correct. The brakes you refer to are the 2NH 6 piston front and 4 rear? They are optional in most world markets. The suspension is DIFFERENT - biggest clue is the carbon front strut everyone forgets about, to pretend the OG M2 is similar to M2C except for the engine.
@@nessuno5403 That's true I'm in the US so 6 Piston is only available. The suspension is all the same but you are correct in saying that the strut brace is different. The carbon strut brace does make a big difference imo but it can be fitted to the OG.
@@nessuno5403 Also the M240i challenges the comp as well, it has a B58 which has been proven to be able to hold upwards of 800hp on the new Supra and it is awd so you are putting more power to the ground. The M240i would probably beat both cars but thats a different issue
@@enrique- thanks for acknowledging my points but have to disagree about the B58 :) It could only beat S55 if modified, so if you modify both, the S55 is still ahead. The M240i in most markets is only also RWD. In the US you get more!
Hi mate, nice video. Thinking of picking one of these up next month, who are you using for insurance, I'm a couple years older than you and struggling with anything anywhere near your price?
Hi mate, thanks! I’m with Churchill. Insurance is based on a million different factors tho 🤷🏻♂️ Stick your parents on the insurance, makes a big difference too! Hope that helps!
@@MrHCars If i could and would get one of these M cars, i think i would rather get one from this past generation and sacrifice getting more HP, than to get the new ones with those grills. This means i'll really like them in a year.
So you also had the rear indicator problem. I had it into service twice, first time BMW simply reprogrammed the car and said they hope its fixed (wtf). I also had my amplifier fried and what worries me is if its an electric problem in the car that caused that and the rear indicator issues. You pay less tax than I do here in Sweden but knowing 2/3 of that tax money goes to help people buy electric cars makes me my car very environment friendly. ; )
Yes i've had it twice, common fault on all 2 series but BMW will happily solve it for you if under warranty. Just like you, they took the quick approach and cleaned my connections... but the second time they just replaced the whole unit. And I also had my amp cap replaced too, another common fault lol but seems to all be resolved now! I like your way of thinking Mattias 😏

What a beautiful BMW m3 bikini Pearl color car love it and perfect engine and trones and amazing car and interior and exterior is better and perfect sound and space and amazing car and very expensive but awesome car perfect features and has more technology and very confortable
Really useful info. Just picked up my new m2 comp and am still getting used to it. Looking forward to more great content.
Glad i could be of some sort of help mate!
Wishing you many happy miles mate 🙏🏼

Just about to pick up my M2C. Come from a M140 as well. Thanks for the video
Congrats!! Nice upgrade & wish you many happy miles!! 💙
Good video. Keep at it. You come over nice and natural on camera which is rare on UA-cam (and TV a lot of the time!) 👍🏻
Thanks Chris, appreciate the kind words 👊🏼👊🏼
Super helpful. Your very specific details make it uniquely interesting
Thanks Michael, appreciate the feedback 👊🏼
Fantastic vid.. picking up my OG M2 this Friday.. pre lci with manual box and only 5000 miles on the beast. I can’t wait! 👍
Congrats on the new whip!!
Mega low mileage too! Enjoy 👊🏼👊🏼

I’d take one in Manual. Love that Long Beach blue
Agreed. That blue looks nice af
Does anyone else have issues with the needle in the cluster getting stuck. My cluster sometimes gets stuck at 6k rpm but the car isn’t actually at 6k
Diggn your m2c man!

Any interior rattling?
Nope, absolutely nothing
What do you think of the new models M3/4 especially in regards to their new grills? Hideous to me.
I’ll need to see one in person to give a proper opinion, but from the photos AND having seen an M440i... I actually quite like it 😬
@@MrHCars If i could and would get one of these M cars, i think i would rather get one from this past generation and sacrifice getting more HP, than to get the new ones with those grills.

@@TWHISPERER you’re not wrong, this generation of M car is still just as amazing and capable
How drifty is it? Is it only in the wet?
The M2C takes the F87 to another level....if you can even get em. No more.
We shall see what the new G series M2 will be like, no doubt it’ll be amazing !! 🤞🏼
Only EU production is finished. Exports next year.
Why does it need spark plugs at 15k?
You spotted my mistake 😅 I was wrong there, I admit.
Spark plugs are at 48 months/ 36,000 miles
@@MrHCars was about to say... I know it’s a bmw but damn!

First 5 minutes were a complete waste of time.
Learn to drive- go buy a Yugo. Shifting sounds horrid.
