Dear top gear. Don't bother with paddy and Freddie. Just give us Chris for an hour each week doing his Chris harris on cars style program. Regards, everyone one with a brain.
Facts. Although I miss COC. It was like watching got damn documentaries on each car… on driving period. I still go on to watch the old content on there. They need to revive that channel.
Would prefer a longer video (15-20 mins ish) like Chris Harris traditionally did, but nice to see him back! :) hopefully, the new season will be great as well.
just bought one. i love it! it's blue! for my son, lost my oldest at 19. Life is short. God bless you Chris. Karma goes a long way! Be safe brother! Matt Cwiek
I'm in the process of buying an M2 Comp right now:) So sorry to hear about your son, I'm sure he would approve of you buying one. Hope you had good fun with the car. Take care!
I love this: 5:36, flipping the car from one full lock to the opposite, absolutely calm, no rush no wild hand movements and THEN mid-slide, casually switching on the wind screen wiper.. OMG
Chris is the real deal. Theres no silliness of the old Top Gear... no trying too hard of the new Top Gear... just the honesty of his relationship with the car. Its intuitive, its musical, you dont have to like him or his opinion but damn... you gotta salute how he flows into the guts of the car. Hes not the greatest driver, not the best presenter but theres no one else that can talk to a car like he does. There are emotions we cant express about vehicles, good or bad. He picks that out and shows you why you feel that way. We need more like him...
@@diffypoo I reckon that would be a winning combination DiFFy. I've liked Chris on Top Gear but only when he is behind a wheel, in my opinion he doesn't do the studio work very well... and Matt LeBlanc was just as pathetic as Chris Evans.
No one reviews like Chris - what a natural! This man worked his life to be where he is today - the reviews are so organic and effortless yet beyond engaging! WELCOME BACK CHRIS!
No one can place a sliding car like Chris Harris, would love it if the video was a little longer though. Not really bothered what he drives next, the new DBS would be nice though
idk about you guys, but there's something about Chris Harris. This is the 6th time I'm watching this M2 Competition review and it amaze by how he handles the car and giving a well proper review. It's so seamless and spontaneous.
Well, he's also the only TG host who can actually drive really well. Except every iteration of the Stig and the ancient hosts Tiff and VBH. The orangutan and his 2 sidekicks can't actually drive that well. Definitely better than the average driver, but nowhere near good enough to find the limits of supercars safely.
Its fun when Chris pretends to have some reason for the car sliding. Oh yeah its raining a bit is it? Must have been raining in every other video he's ever made also.
I agree. The only bad thing about the M2 Competition is the exhaust. Other than that, the S55 is a way better engine than the N55, and this is coming from someone with a N55 M2.
Roberto Lombardi I think the exhaust note is ok on the M2C, but just not as good as the N55. What I hate about the M2C’s exhaust though is it’s thick, bulky muffler. It’s way too big and sticks out a lot more as opposed to the original M2 N55’s exhaust.
Unfortunetly the M2 competition ( 3600 lbs ) its 110 lbs heavier than a 2018 M3 ( 3490 lbs) and 150 lbs heavier than standar M2 (3450 lbs affecting its agilty while cornering regsrdless of hp. Weight play an important role n racing applications. As a competition vehicle thwy should have removed weight. Very dissapointed.
The M2 is/was a fantastic 9/10 car, the upgrades to the M2 Competition have just notched it up to a 9.5/10. However I will say this until I'm blue I'm the face, it doesn't sound half as good as the as the old M2. The N55 in the M2 is/was the best sounding straight 6 car you could buy.
Alex Napper the problem I have with them is the lifeless steering. The original M2 steering was lifeless. Couldn’t feel a thing. Plus it was slow. I’m glad the Comp has addressed some the issues and put more power in it, but still getting up to top speed it drops in power. I love the new seats and front bumper, along with the new brakes. I wish the steering was more like Porsche.
That can easily be fixed by changing the exhaust. You can always custom build, or look for an aftermarket option. Honestly though... after listening to them both side by side, I find very little difference. The M2C is a bit more muted and a bit cleaner, but that's no bad thing. It still has the same straight 6 tone.
F10 and m2c is onlt times theyve out on uglier wheels on. Style 666m on the m3/4 while i def would not say its on uglier wheel does take away from overall look of the car. So i gues you coullddd throw that in the mix? What an odd one because the wheels are sexy as hell but for example if you fit them on well specd m4(frozen red ;D ) they become the focal point. Takin away from the m4s cool design.

The engine spec, its power/torque output and the required heft in the transmission required to cope with that, the chassis bracing and the fact that it needs to relatively affordable so it can't be made extensively of expensive light weight materials , would dictate a weight around what it is.
@@Alby911 it would be even faster, more economical, more agile, fun, less wear on various parts on the car and even better to drive if it only weight 1350 kg. Point made? Weight reducation should be at much higher priority for manufacturers than it currently is.
@@C6SuperchargedZR1 - Shed that much weight and the performance becomes on par with the M3/M4; there's no way BMW will cannibalize their own market anymore that it already has by releasing the M2. Out of the box the M2 Comp is simply a fun, and tail happy car to drive. Anyone wishing for less weight will have to option the carbon parts, or see what the M2 CS/CSL has in store.
To be honest, I would much prefer these sort of classy Chris Harris (and Neil) stuff over the brash nonsensical blabbers of Jeremy & the gang. Good riddance in disguise perhaps? Now BBC just needs to pull Steve Sutcliffe into the fold. Maybe Mat Watson too perhaps?
Exactly. They went from car reviews to trapping themselves in an arms race of ever escalating elaborate loosely related vehicle entertainment. Just gimme the basic CH + Car + Good Roads + Good Sound/Editing/Photography.
I'm with everyone else 'The Chris Harris show' is everything we need to see, doesn't matter what he drives he just does it and tells us what we need to know. We had Top gear with the Clarkson trio that was brilliant the evolution is simply Harris does cars
I disagree, what makes the original M2 wheels better is the dish which fits in with the flared arches and gives the car a chunky look, the Competition wheel removes all of that. A complex multispoke that is flat and to me resembles a cheap aftermarket rim.
I’ll never tire of watching CH having fun in fast cars, long may it continue! As for what I’d like to see Chris drive...? Well I have to say I’m not all that fussed, just seeing Chris do what he does best is like visual poetry and something I’ll always have time for. So just more CH, please 👍
Chris Harris Drives is back! What do you want to see Chris driving next? Let us know in the comments! 🚗

He can't revive a dying TV show sadly....go back to Chris Harris on Cars....was the best :)

Gorgeous girl!!! I'm following you.
Chris Harris is masterclass in automotive journalism. Pleasure to see him behind the wheel and mic’d up.
I don’t really agree. If he is master then what do you call clarkson?
Finally they’re posting the TG content on UA-cam at the same time 👌🏼 The main man is back.
TR Hamza Why you coming fast
I watch ur UA-cam videos
Would prefer a longer video (15-20 mins ish) like Chris Harris traditionally did, but nice to see him back! :) hopefully, the new season will be great as well.
Agreed!
Chris is the only reason why I watch top gear and these segments are my fav part of the show.
I want it to be at least 30 minutes haha!
Ya damn right
Love how in the middle of a drift slide at 5:38 he takes time to turn on the windshield wiper lol.
haha that's how relaxed he is whilst drifting
I think they were already on, he just changed gears using the paddle

@@kavan1773 he didn't downshift and then immediately upshift, my man! It was a single (badass) screen wipe

Essentially, Top Gear is now Chris Harris. Without him, there would be no value left. Agree?
With Chris they don't need stig
He may not be as fast as the stig, but he is way more entertaining a driver and speaker.
The likes say it all.
Exactly.
Mountain Valley Arts I duno he could be as fast as the stig he’s a racing driver aswell

5:39 Chris Harris the type of guy that can window wipe and drift at the same time whilst looking like he's chilling in front of the TV with a beer
lol - was just about to type exactly that!
World needs more Chris Harris testing cars videos.
I like how the talking and the track footage are synced at 3:52
Best car presenter bar none - and he can actually drive
Mike R Henry catchpole is another brilliant presenter
Alex 6215r i actually prefer Mr Catchpole's nowadays
Yang Guan Tang I’ll check him out, thanks
Mike R he’s brilliant definitely one of the best if not the best really high quality videos
Well he is a race driver after all :D
I thought this video was from the channel ‘THE DRIVE’. Love it when he reviews M cars. Who agrees?
Really glad to see they know the value of his content
Really love that forward facing view from the top of the passenger seat! It's lovely watching Chris navigate the power slides!

that aero perspective from 3:52 synchronized with the onboard sound, that's classic /drive editing right there! Masterful!
Chris Harris makes this video a delight to watch
So glad that good old Chris Harris is back! Been craving for some proper car content for long

Chris and Tiff Needell would be an awesome pairing, both very entertaining drivers.
They did an ep of fifth gear once.. 458 speciale and gt3rs I think?
They would be great for top gear but doubt Tiff would be up for it since they fired him in 1999.

0:50 Added uglier wheels just to stay faithful to the competition heritage 😂😂😂
Well we all know where the bad rep of BMW is from
For real, I have the regular M2 and if I were to switch to the M2 Comp, I’d keep the original M2 wheels.
@@usernamealreadytaken770 Agree, that's what I'll be doing. Keeping the original M2 wheels, so much nicer.
E46 and e92 had better wheels than original but ya in recent times the comp wheels have been much worse -_-
He really hates the competition wheels😂😂😂
Great vid loved the transitions using the M colours and the acoustic music at the end. Chris was great as well.
Vid could be a bit longer though
Great acoustic track I wonder what is it, cant seem to find it?
This beast belongs in my garage. Definitely buying it next year.
I want "Chris Harris on Cars" back. LIKE if you agree!
Kaipeternicolas we should make that into change.org
Wanted Chris Harris Long Videos Like This Every Weeks 😊😊😊
Chris Harris is one of the top 5 people on earth to grab a beer and talk cars with.
Chris Harris comments + skids = perfection, never gets boring. I like.
No one reviews like Chris - what a natural! This man worked his life to be where he is today - the reviews are so organic and effortless yet beyond engaging! WELCOME BACK CHRIS!
@5.42, activates the wipers mid-drift. Legend!
No one can place a sliding car like Chris Harris, would love it if the video was a little longer though. Not really bothered what he drives next, the new DBS would be nice though
I am in tears. This car is a beauty. A manual of this mini beast is an instant classic. Dear God.
This man knows how to get the best out of any, love the M2 but enjoying my M140i for now 😁😁😁😁
Watching Chris Harris drifting is very therapeutic.
Even more now thanks to the Top Gear's video magic.

I just came to confirm that there truly was a time bmw made good looking cars
Seriously, what the fuck were they smoking with the new M2?
They ruined it, looks fucking awful
@@pedinhuh16 looks like an oversized lego
The thing I respect most about Chris, is the way in which he can flatter a car - any car. That takes skill.
There you have it - M2 over used M3.
The M2 came full circle. Well done.
Chris doesn’t even need to talk. Watching him drive would be enough. I would watch for hours.
The M2 Competition is one fine Bavarian, M Power at its finest, we do love the e30 M just a little more.
When you say hold on to the wheel Chris and the music kicks in, I can feel your joy driving this car.
Chris Harris - "I've never been here before" Also Chris Harris - Drifting around every corner
His driving is just amazing! And Top Gear make the best films!
Anyone else like the wheels? 😂
Meeeeeee I
Spiritual successor to the E46 M3
Wheels are not ugly 😤
Great car and great review.
5:20 when those drums kick in! Pure Europa 😎
What a throwback! Chris on long(ish) YT vids, sliding cars!
Chris Harris is an elite drifter
Damn Harris summer holiday lasts so long it's already Winter!
Great to see Chris and Neil doing what they do best, was overwhelmed by a wave of nostalgia by the end of the film, what a lucky treat
So nostalgic of 'chris harris on cars'
01:00 - “Some uglier wheels to stay faithful”
I love this guy. And I love Bmw as well...
it's simple i see a Chris Harris vid and i click like. Top gear give us more of the only good top gear host. Currently.
Well, he's also the only TG host who can actually drive really well. Except every iteration of the Stig and the ancient hosts Tiff and VBH. The orangutan and his 2 sidekicks can't actually drive that well. Definitely better than the average driver, but nowhere near good enough to find the limits of supercars safely.
That Circuit looks absolutely amazing!!!
50 people bought RS3 and CLA45 haha
no 50 people bought Cayman))
I'd love to see a cost of ownership comparison over 60 months/60,000 miles: M2 Comp vs. Cayman S
That would be a great shout
That’s the modern E46 M3!!! Issa must have!
Its fun when Chris pretends to have some reason for the car sliding. Oh yeah its raining a bit is it? Must have been raining in every other video he's ever made also.
That ///M transition @ 5:16 was actually rather nice.
These rims are so much better looking than the normal one
Chris Harris Drives is simply the best motoring video content out there. More please!
Gonna buy this one in 1-2 years
Ct Tv buying this next month lol but jk
Literally the only reason I watch anything “new” top gear
I guess I woke up at the right time

Funny, because the first competition package on the E46 M3 had much better looking wheels than the standard M3 of the time.

Every competition wheel for every m car looks better than the base model.
