@@ThicWhipsHey guys, I’m pretty sure the tank is the same size as it was on the F87 and on my F22 (might’ve touched on that in the video, haven’t watched it fully yet).

Stock exhaust sounds better than removing resonators or going straight pipe. The popular opinion is that louder is sounds best, but I like to hear a nice tune vs just noise.
I placed an order last week for a 2025 in skyscraper grey. A dealership had an open allocation for one and I took advantage of that right away. Currently waiting for my allocation number so I can track my cars progress. Also I recognized Carmel Christian at 6:12 lmao.
I'm sure you know but you can turn off the auto lock/unlock when you're near the car. Gets super annoying when you're washing it with the key on you. Having that feature on means the key is constantly sending a signal to the car, which eats the key battery faster but more importantly I heard it makes it easier for people trying to clone your key
About to get rid of my 240i f22 for one of these. I think you have sold me on the black. Always lusted after a batmobile. Your right, it doesn't need mods. German engineers know how to set up a car, why anyone would want to mess up those dynamics makes no sense to me, we don't really do that in Europe, yet every US review I've seen on the M2 they completely screw with the suspension , ride height and more.
Dope. Such great cars all around. Really nothing compares to bimmer coupes for daily drivable performance. The G87 is y far the best BMW currently available for sale.
Love your content man. I'm just north of you in Hickory. Question for you. Been running a stage 1 tune from Bootmod3, which makes it a completely different car (2017 540i xdrive with B58). Having an issue with the check engine light. It came on because of a bad component which was replaced by a BMW shop in Hickory ( they know it is tuned). The check engine light will now not go off. The shop has checked the device twice now, once while tuned and they suggested de-tuning and try a reset, which I did and it did not work. I'm stuck with the check engine light on now. It is the 30k mile service that is causing the issue ( I bought the vehicle with 32k miles on it) so I don't know if the service light wasn't reset correctly or not. (I do know the previous owner, eventhough I. bought it from a car lot. I noticed her name in the owner manual and called her). She had all the service done and took good care of the car. My question is, how can I get the light off? The ECU is still de-tuned. I've tried BimmerCode, Bootmod3, and xHP and none of them will reset the light. Any ideas? I'm wanting to trade it for a M4 but I don't want the light on. Any ideas?
Congratulations again, well deserved. Happy you are enjoying it as much as you are. I have yet to see you around in it. I live in Waxhaw, "Rehoboth is the way" lol. No car shows yet. 24 Dravit Grey G82 that Nick did full PPF on. Track day sounds like a blast, Nick has my contact info if you want to add a stock G82 to the track day.
15:00 Kind of an immersion breaking issue to have when you're just cruising and your controls bug out rip. i have to disconnect on my phone and then click carplay on the car menu to get the steering wheel controls to work again quickly.
This is my exact spec lol. Crazy you picked it up for that price. I don’t quite have 8k miles on it yet but still. Hoping I can get good trade-in value for the CS when that is ready for allocation 😅
First of all nice Video! I personaly have driven the G87 for about 4k Miles and i´m coming from a F30. I´m really enjoying the big screen and the tech upgrade and i have to say i want to drive it every day even to work an that´s the point. Before i bought it i said to my girlfriend yes we keep the F30 and use it as a daily driver, but i have to admit in my brain it doesn´t make sense anymore :D And i had the same Problem with the Phone charger and got a little work around for that. When you put your Phone with the screen down to the charger it dosen´t get charged but is in a save place to lay and you can drive pretty fast before it really moves. Only a little work around if you wan´t to use the space and don´t want the charge or the heat on the phone. Keep on the good content!
I have worked at 2 different BMW dealerships in the UK for just under 4 years. Water in the headlights is common, especially the g87 M2 and g42 2 series... you could replace the headlight and it happen again straight away. They generally don't replace them if there is heavy fogging, only when water starts to actually build up. Even then the warranty process is a pain. BMW themselves make it difficult for the dealers when claiming under warranty..
62k is so cheap for a new M2 . I’ve been looking for one and the lowest price I saw was $58,000 and the car had 40k miles . I’ve yet to see one with carbon buckets going for less than $72,000 used
@ exactly I think he is lying about the price . Or maybe he found amazing deal . In CA they are still like 70k used with no carbon buckets. I saw one at the dealership new for 90k it had a 10k mark up
@@Nick-hz2kl crazy lol. That’s why I decided to build one out brand new. Cost me $3,000 more than a used one but it’s brand new. Downside I had to wait 10 weeks but that’s not terrible at all. CA dealers trying to charge $5,000 over MSRP but some will do it at sticker or $500/1,000 lower
I’m trying to decide if I’m going to like a manual g87 or should I just buy a low mileage ap2 s2000 and supercharging it ,so I’m looking at a lot of reviews 😅
i have the same problem with my headlights on my 2 series, taking it in on wednesday to see if they will warranty them, only problem is i have an intake on the car so im a little nervous as to what they will say..
Love the G87 m2. Wish my wife would let me throw 60k at it lol. But I think Im pulling the trigger on a 18' F87 m2 soon. I need the N55 in my life. But looking forward with all the mods you do to the G87 m2!
you can turn that shit off where it unlocks and locks the car when you have the key on you and make it to where it just locks when u walk away and unlocks when you touch the handle.
Man cars in the US is sooo cheap, I wish it was the same in France lmao With the malus, a brand new M2 like this would cost 160 000€. With a (high) average salary of 2200€/month, you can imagine we have to thought about it before buying such a car ! But 60 000$, where the average salary of 5000$/month, it is something else... Kinda jalous ngl haha
The new M2 is an amazing machine but it won't age well. It's already ugly, and not in the way we used to say the G80 M3 was ugly - there are NO angles on the new M2 that make you think it's a timeless design.
looks are subjective lol. idk why people like you walk around speaking objectively about these cars as if it’s some fact. imagine someone walks up to your girl and straight up tells YOU that she is ugly. pretty ridiculous thought process if you ask me

Yeah I noticed the size of the tank is tiny lol
That would be the only downside to the car I would say but it’s not a deal breaker.
No different than the previous f87.

100% the F87 LCI was perfect
Yeup I still have my 2018 M2 LCI 6spd with executive package and icons. 626whp on flex fuel and supporting mods with pure 750 turbo.
You forget how ugly the g87 is until you see it next to a f87 😂
@@kaiichinose9590Nice! Mine is putting down 540 on E50 😊 I feel like the OG is becoming the best kept secret
@ best sound and great performance. These chassis don’t need 800-900 whp. Sweet spot is right between 500-600whp. What turbo you running?
Super pumped you’re in an m2 💪🏼
Thanks man
Coding out active sound design through bimmer code will be solid. Also the rear seat head rests go down for a little extra visibility!

The new BMW keys use UWB (ultra wide band), which is not possible to clone, yet. The same goes for the BMW Digital Key Plus.
I like the M2, probably would have bought one if x-drive was an option. Ended up with a G80 and I freakin love it.

Pro tip on the phone charger. Always put the phone orientation so the top of the phone is closest to the driver side. I find it useable that way
Love the m2. Wish you still had an f30. I have a 2018 bmw 330i and I’ve been watching your 328 videos
Ditto. My first “nice” car was a 2016 RWD 340i. Miss that car!
Great price man. A lot of G87s WITHOUT the bucket seats are going for $62-65,000. 5 to 10,000 miles on the dash

I just had mine replaced today. I’ll be honest. The process was very easy without any pushback.
Had my 23 m2 since April 23 and never had that issue, but I also rarely drive it in the rain also.
Beautiful car bro! i love your channel and g87 is a nice addition. Can't wait for what's to come
I wonder how much the lcd cost to replace? My little f87 lcd costas much as 2x sony oled 65" TV in my country 😅

I’d really love another video on the tuning with the g87 I love when you did it with the 340 and og m2
Will you do tint on the M2?
how tall are you? im 6ft1 250...will it be too small?
you should do a pro and cons against MK5 Supra
Pro- s58, 8hp76, better interior, better chassis, better suspension. Con-more expensive

Hard to argue this at 62k but I need 4 doors for this money I would go ct4 v black wing but I am a fan of the m2.
strong consideration for me

Nice spec, congrats! Good review 👍
Best modern M car
one of my top picks for a daily
thought i think i would go r35 instead
BMW dealers sell the headlight online for 17-1800 just FYI
2500 includes modules and everything. That’s the price directly from my dealer. None the less it was covered under warranty
Love the M2… love the channel
Question what made you choose this bmw over others? Like for example a m550i?
He said toward the end of the video that he wanted a BMW that was made in Mexico. The M550i is made in Germany, unfortunately.
@@shrimpboychan size as well. He wanted the smaller package
you can turn that shit off where it unlocks and locks the car when you have the key on you and make it to where it just locks when u walk away and unlocks when you touch the handle.
This is not anymore true of an “M car” than the other G series Ms. I drove it on track and it was just as boring and muted as the G80/82.
I turned my acoustic unlock off, got annoyed with it too
People that say BSM is the most boring colour have never seen it in person
bsm is boring but looks best with carbon fiber imo
Waiting for the right one after it depreciate 40%.
Best deal on the market.

First comment? Woooow
Just a horrific design, that luckily can be saved by the aftermarket. Much like every new BMW.
Even without mods, i think f80 pauls tunes are better than factory.
