F87 BMW M2 - MODERN E46 M3? BEST VALUE MODERN M CAR? Owners Review and Chat

Today: F87 BMW M2 - MODERN E46 M3? BEST VALUE MODERN M CAR? Owners Review and Chat
Is this a modern replacement for the E46 M3? Can anything truly replace it? Is this the last achievable M car for the everyday person? With M cars becoming so expensive, they are out of reach for most people, the new M2 has a £70,000 price tag! How many people like us can afford one nowadays? We talk about it as we review Greg's ownership of his OG M2 Manual and have a chat.
What do you think is the best M Car to own nowadays?

Nice review guys. I have an OG LCI M2 with m perf exhaust and recently installed a vrsf sports cat and the sound is just incredible now. Absolutely love the car. Roll on the spring

Love my OG M2.
I'm not usually a fan of black wheels, but those look great on that colour (same colour as mine, long beach blue).
Tempted to get my original wheels refurbished in gloss black without the diamond cut shiny bits.

Awesome car my friend! Thanks for taking the time to comment! I do like the original wheels in standard finish to be honest as does Greg, he purchased these to enhance the look but also because the diamond cut is susceptible to water ingress and ruins the finish that can only be re-cut so many times. He has since sold the original ones, which you could do and probably cover most of the cost for the motorsport ones. I just can't imagine changing the finish won't devalue the original wheels if you ever wanted to do that? Of course up to you man, she's you car 😁 I agree though, it looks particularly good on the Long Beach Blue and perhaps wouldn't contrast as well on say a black or white one? All about personal preference of course! We hope you keep on enjoying yours and thank you so much for the support! 👍🙏

Its more like e36 than e46 in size. E46 is more bigger and heavier, and kind of an overrated pile with no torque.

[@GregandCraigsGarage]

Thanks for watching pal, though I have to respectfully disagree my friend, the M2 is closer in terms of weight and dimensions overall to the E46 and to call the E46 M3 an "overrated pile" is a bit harsh to say the least!

[@volodymyrshoniia2424]

@@GregandCraigsGarage for the amount of money that they go for in the States they are very overrated, weight wise it is closer to 46, size is more like 36.

[@GregandCraigsGarage]

@@volodymyrshoniia2424 yeh man I do see they go for strong money in the states for sure! You're right tho, they are shorter than the E46 but they are wider than the E46 in terms of track
