Raz: Apologises for state of car.
Car: Looks fucking spotless
legit all car youtubers. Shmee especially - they must wash their cars a ridiculous amount
Congrats on the new car, I think it’s gonna be a classic and will surely be great for the channel. Looking forward to your full review 👌🏾
So glad I found this channel. Literally the best car channel on youtube and it's not even close. No gimmicky over the top smiling and "wow omg this is the best amazing thing ever." Plus the actual car history is soooooo interesting. I've learned so much. The Porsche 911 history was amazing. Thank you so much for the quality in these videos.
Also congrats on having both of my current dream cars. M2CS and C63s. Working my ass off to get a C43 coupe as a daily since I'm young :)
What a buy! Congratulations, Raz! This car is such a wonderful machine, receiving highest praise from all enthusiasts!
p.s. In an effort to be transparent: No VIP deals or influencer hubbub here, just a standard public dealer contribution from @bimmerdeals and an amazing quote from @charles_and_dean that turned a window shopping exercise into a purchase. 🤯 I often see people buy cars without exactly showing what really went on, don’t want you guys to be under any illusions! 👍🏽
Sorry, but I still doubt it... 🤔
Because I believe you could’ve gotten extra good deals; so why wouldn’t you(?) 🙃
I’m not saying it’s bad/wrong to get the best deal possible, the opposite; the thing is when the ”influencing” is missleading.
I believe you might’ve shifted the ”extra good deal” outside the purchase. So let’s say you buy a car for £80k (standard price) but maybe you get to send them a ”marketing/influencer invoice” of £20k or you get comission for everyone who buys a car (referring your name) or places their finances as you did.
How much per month, and what deal did you go for, hp... Pcp... Etc. Cheers
@@Jakrabat94 You need to take the tin foil hat off buddy. It’s not that important that I need to lie about it.
I think most performance fuel cars will become a Classic of some kind when the industry turns electric ⛽️ > ⚡️
I agree...... if we actually go all electric. I think (hope) synthetic fuels will save the day because all electric isn't the answer and isn't viable.
@@dommo9056 Yeah hopefully Porsche will be able to succeed with synthetic fuels.
@@DanielSadjadian Yeah. There are a fair few companies developing synthetic fuels so fingers crossed!
Your slowly falling in love with bmw more than Benz now ....!!
maybe he figured, that they actually make much better driver/performance cars;)
It's OK to discover the truth even if you late, it's better than being dumb your whole life
I get the thought process, it’s a gamble as bmw typically don’t have brand cache to appreciate, but the best hedge you had against it being a future collectible was going for the third pedal option
Fellow m2 cs owner here. You really want a Eventuri Intake kit, and whatever exhaust you feel like getting. It transforms the car. I run the eventuri intake and a milltek equal lengh exhaust after the gpf + manual valve control by miltek. So no emission problems. And that turbo swooosh on liftoff from the eventuri kit is just insanly fun.
Also congrats on getting one of the most amazing bmws ever.
Man - you're something else Raz lol - guess all I can say, is congrats and enjoy it! Great color choice! Thanks for sharing it all with us - we can't complain - living our dreams or experiences vicariously through you, Shmee, Matt and Joe.
This M2 and M5 is the last handsome (and not tried too hard to be handsome like the 6series) BMW! And your choices is the best specs! Well done sir!!
Welcome to the dark side! Car looks amazing, get the remus with equal length mid pipes and the car sounds amazing
How they sound after those mods listed, like why didn’t they come like that from factory? 🥲
@@josemiguelg1801 I am waiting on mine to show up from Active Autowerks, from all the research I have done, it's a game changer but the single mid also sounds pretty good as well just depends if you're running catless downpipes. Now why they don't come on the CS is beyond me. With that price tag you think it would.
It truly fascinates me how this channel doesn’t have 1M+ subs by now...
I agree completely. Great content. And the CGI (or whatever you call it) is fun. It certainly adds to the reviews. I honestly didn’t know much about these cars prior to this video. I ended up purchasing a CS from my local dealer because of it. My local dealership thanks you for the referral! 🤓
Congratulations on the buy Raz. I saw this same car in our Indy D/R dealership and it was quite a machine and future classic. Bravo on buying angle to reduce depreciation expense. It’s all about buy/sell variance, for most of us. 🐸
A really good watched - enjoyed that thoroughly. I’ve been watching your videos over the past few years and it’s good to see your progression through BMW. I’m surprised Joe didn’t feature in the collection
I've bought an M2 Competition in Hockenheimsilver in Dez. 2020 (Fully equipped). It was good choice. Can't wait to drive it after the winter time. Now 4 weeks later the prices are going up. So happy.
This video did not disappoint, love the new car 👌🏽
That color is perfection. Wouldn’t you think a manual would have been a better choice if resale value was a big concern though?
Shoulda got a manual. Amazing car tho, great spec 👌
congratulations on the new car lowering it has made all the difference 🔥🔥🔥
Bring on the M5 CS review. Can't wait!
Hey but seriously, get a m3/m4...Yes there’s many influencers but that can affect you positively. Love your videos. Don’t stop here man! Plus you could probably get a G80 a bit earlier or something. Congrats on the M2CS, but you know the G80’s will have something in store. Cheers.
M2CS and a black Porsche Turbo S.
Have you been reading my diary?
Great choices there. Between the two cars, they cover a large part of the performance spectrum that would interest most enthusiasts.
My goodness, I just saw that you passed on the manual. To each their own but for pure driving pleasure and retained value I would have definitely chosen the manual.
With all the new M cars that BMW has released over the years, I’m still glad I have my mint manual e46 m3. Timeless design and 333hp is all you really ever need for the streets. Congrats on the m2 CS. I think it would be a classic if it were a manual 😉
Love the M2's Raz but that M2 CS seems a little special ❤️ - Great video!
I was hoping that Raz addressed why he went for thr auto rather than the manual of the M2 CS. Please discuss this in the full review as many swear by the manual and some even go so far as to say the manual is the one that will hold its value better in the future.
Either way, brilliant spec, brilliant choice. This is guaranteed to be a future classic
Love your content but as a BMW guy, congrats on your purchase. Got yourself a very special car.
I had 2015 550 and 2017 340. And now got 2020x4m. Now I understand what i was missing. Super stiff, but a monster. Especially if you slap a downpipe and a tune, it’s insanity.
The price on used M2C must be significantly different in your part of the world. In the US, cars range from low 50s to high 60s used. I would say the average is high 50s. I picked up my 2020 M2C in April of 2019. If I wanted to sell it now, I would have lost $3K or so for almost 2 years of driving. Thats a hell of deal. Basically these cars don't depreciate here. Also, 6 speed cars hold their value much higher than DCT.
Congrats! Unfortunately in Italy the CS was double the price of a new M2C probably because the number of CSs for italian market was very limited. I then took a silver M2C and after 10k miles there are no regrets.
I like the collection videos you do. Can't wait for GT black series but that m2 cs looks amazing. Also... did you sell the gt63s and the gtr pro?
Really nice add Raz! Now it’s mr aMg. Love the spec
Congrats on the new car, spec is fantastic, love the colour combo. Re exhausts you need to be mindful that systems like the Akra evolution although fantastic remove the OPF and as such will trigger an EML. There is no way to remap the latest BMW Bosch ECU, so cannot code out any EML. There are some solutions to this which are just hitting the market but it’s not straight forward. The Akra slip on is fine and won’t trigger an EML but won’t add that much volume. Depends what you want! Remus OPF will add a fair bit of volume check out Joe Achilles car 😄
I wouldn't have done the suspension drop, but other than that: what a dream!
You owe Chris big time. Great choice.
Personally not a fan of the red calipers, clashes too much with the gold wheels and shade of blue on the car. They need to be black
Totally agree with you mate, the best M car at the moment. I love the look of the car especially with the lowered springs. Loving your work.👍
Great video!....LOVE the colour with the gold contrasting rims👌🏼
Congrats, very nice. I don’t think you can go wrong buying any version of the M2. Future classics for sure.
The funnest bmw m to drive: 2011 1M. Period. The best looking car to have: M6 GC. Believe me, I had both and I’m kicking myself everyday for selling them for the newer M Cars.
Nice move getting the M2 CS. Don't listen to the non-owners, the mDCT is a perfect match for the CS. The non-turbo cars have to be rapped out to generate power and a manual tranny kind of makes sense. On modern high-performance turbo cars, the low-end torque is so plentiful, that the mDCT is the right choice. I personally drive a M2 LCI w/mDCT in dark grey and I get many compliments.
Enjoyed the video very much and subscribed but was looking forward to hearing the figure breakdown. Its lovely hearing it obtainable to do finance on such an amazing car but we don't know if it is for us lol. Anyway enjoyed the video and will checkout your other vids. 👍🏾
Awesome dude. Amazing car. Picking up an M340i from Berry in March 👍
Love the car but I think that the manual version will be the future classic over the automatic version.
BMW will offer a manual on the new M3/M4 and next gen 2 series. The DCT has been discontinued so the M2 CS with a DCT is still a rare car and will probably hold value the same as the ones with a manual.
I literally almost got a heart attack when you flipped from your M2 to that new green M4, what a hideous thing!! Your car looks very tasteful, fun blue and not boring black or something like that. Well done!
Absolutely stunning car, looks great in Misano blue.
But congratulations and enjoy!! Remember the more modifications you do it could actually affect the value in a negative way so just keep that in mind.
Active Autowork equal length midpipe and an M Performance rear muffler is the best exhaust setup for the S55 engines.
Don’t forget to take the sticker off the M2 sign on the seats lol I had mine on for 2 months before I noticed
Love the M2 CS especially in manual spec, but do think its a bit optimistic about short term resale value/retaining value aspect. My almost 2 year old super low mileage M3 CS which is even more rare than the m2 CS has already depreciated almost 50%. The financing was similar to my F80 M3 which i traded in and the CS is night and day better than the standard m3 so made the purchase a no brainer BUT realistically in short term it's not really going to depreciate better than standard M3 (at least from the limited research on secondary market I've done). After 5 or 7 years tho, the CS might start to appreciate. Anyway, another great vid per usual.
Awesome... definitely deserves an Akrapovic exhaust...! 👌🏁
Thats my local dealership. Changed their name to Berry? Intresting. Look forward to thier M Town layout.
I am going to combine the M2 Comp and CS as THE best modern "M car" BMW makes. I personally didnt feel that much of a seat of the pants difference between the CS and Comp which says how outstanding they both are. Little monsters with perfect balance.
I agree , so are you defecting to BMW now, don’t forget your heritage, Merc’s all the way for me .🙂. There is always a special feel when I sit in my CLS, although the ride is Shyyyyte, but I love it.
Sheer Class, panache, and a sense of an overwhelming . Reliability is Good, trouble free also. Good luck with your Channel😝
Very cool car, probably the best modern m car in my opinion
“Every influencer on the planet is getting the new M3/M4 which makes it massively unattractive”.
Wheels out M2cs
The ball is in Joe Achilles’ court!
Good vid - looking forward to this journey as an M2 comp owner and car lover 👊🏻
@@bibiiu3559 I think you misunderstood the quotation from the video, Raz was saying it makes it an unattractive proposition because so many influencers are planning on getting the new G8X M3/M4
I don’t know but it sounds like Mr. AMG is a bit of a Bimmer fan boy! 😜
100% agree, I’m considering getting the M5 CS, if I can find one.
I think BMW should do a sort of M1 or M145i or something hot hatch with around 420hp in order to compete with the A45S and the RS3
Congratulations 🎉 and a beautiful car mate. 👏🏽 I was wondering where to go from my M140i (which I do love) because I want to stay with 6 cylinders - This is a real temptation... especially if the finance numbers are right ...
Congrats on your M2CS, looks great 👍
Love the car and great review. As an F80 M3 comp owner I’d love to try the M2 CS as very similar power and suspension set up now, with less weight and size.
I love the car, congratulations!!! However I don't think it will keep value as well as you think it well, although I hope it will! Health to drive and enjoy
Fantastic choice, never considered the M2 as a family car😁👍
Yes Id like a video on the ti!! Havent seen much of the fwd line up and especially Im intrested whether it lives up to the forgotten ti badge that used to symbolize the ultimate entry level BMW back in the e36 gen
Congrats it’s a perfect spec. And for the exhaust solution you should consider the frequency intelligent exhaust system and eventuri intakes
What a car I wish I could have one unfortunately here in Canada they kiss 116k on the road. Great video as always Raz 😎
Congrats on the car brother.. my personal whip is a M235.. so I understand the appeal to a degree
Gongratz on the m2 cs! You should put an equal length exhaust on it. It sounds amazing!!
I’m in the US, idk if I can take advantage of the deal if I had the money
Congrats for choosing #teambmw haha!
I like ur idea simply "if u have lots of money, go buy limited edition cars." Hope my newly bought used E46 Coupe could be limited for the next 5 years haha!
P/S - Yes, baby carseat rules!
I have a 2018 M2 and love the beast! My only pet peeve about these M cars is that they don't give you the new key fob! Why do their top trim cars have the old key fob!!!!!! -________-
Fantastic car advice as usual. Cool content
The BMW M2 Cs is such a beautiful car def BMW's best car right now
Could you do a video on how you finance your fleet? Would be really useful!
Great stuff mate, lovely content, high value!
Congrats on the M2CS! Had my M2C for 1.5 years now, thinking of upgrading the to the M2CS, but don’t know if I can justify the extra buck. Also surprised you went for DCT over Manuel as I would think the Manuel will hold it’s value better?
Whoa, the two M135’s look nice. How about the Motech and 128ti next on the channel?
Congratulations buddy!! Great choice. It's the perfect small/useable sports car. *Curious but can the rear seats fit an adult(s)?
Get the Active Autowerke equal length midpipes! Sounds so good 👌🏻
Congratulations on the new car pity you had to come to Croydon.... yea.... hopefully Burry can resurrect that dealership.
CS IN AN M5. THE WORLDS GONE MAD
The oldest 68 plate m2 comps are not 30k. Nearer 40k. Even 4/5 year old OG M2 are holding strong above 30k...
I really like this car and spec enjoy it
Fantastic choice! The bmw M2 CS really IS a future Classic and for me its actually one of the best moderns bmw partly because it reminds of the old M3 and M1 legends! I repeat NICE choice!
Great video really clear & informative and absolutely awesome car!
Congrats- needs a back to back comparison to my favourite the 1M coupe
Great video and beautiful car. Do you lose your warranty on these mods? I don’t know much about financing but does the financing company allow these mods as well?
So impressed by this car, it is beautiful and awesome, also impressed because you pronounce Acrapovic correctly, yes folks you really do need to say A Crap in order to say their name correctly!
Great effort ! I always knew Mr.AMG would land on M car eventually. Raz now I can tell you are true petrolhead
edit : Is that car seat at the back ? lol
RBR HAVE YOU DRIVEN A M4 GTS? IM FANCY BUYING ONE I THINK A GOOD INVESTMENT?
Very , VERY nice spec!! Nicely done!
I have 2020 M2C with MPERFORMANCE Suspension coils. Hugh upgrade over the M2C stock setup. @ RBR I hope the aftermarket springs don’t ruin the stock dampers of the adaptive suspension. I would have not done that yet. And waited until BMW M released the HAS kit.
congrats! for your exhaust, active autowerke sells an equal length midpipe, look at some yt videos of people with it installed it cleans up the exhaust note a lot.
No comparison between Remus and Akrapovic... the Slovenian Scorpion wins everytime. If you can stretch to the titanium down pipes too... you'll never regret that purchase.
Gold wheels are not specific to the CS. You can option them on the competition and also the front apron and spoiler, etc.
It’s all Chris Harris’ fault. I’m hoping I can return the favour and influence him into one too! 🤙🏽 It’s been a long time coming for a car that I’ve always considered best in class. What started as a window shopping exercise became an impulse purchase (thanks to the finance, more in the video!).
BUT this is just the beginning for the car!! We need an exhaust system: Remus, Akrapovic ? And then M Performance parts direct from @bmwm. But first, to enjoy the running in. 😉
The fact that you chose the m2 cs over any regular new m car just shows what an expert you have become in the car world. Love watching your content and I hope you’ll have fun with it. Superb choice!
If the idea was to buy a car which will retain it’s value, then the first thing you should do is take it straight back and beg them to replace it with a Manual... other then that, nice car, congratulations
I recomend a Lightweight exhaust system, lovely sound. Greets from Germany. Mr AMG himself finally after being in M Town has gone for an M2 cs.. great choice👍🏻
@@danielwaddington7817 BMW will not be offering the DCT on their future cars so getting a M2 CS with a DCT may not hurt resale value vs a manual.
Yhh i was losing loads on cars over the years, then in 2019 bought a Focus RS mk2, limited to 4500 in the uk. So hopefully in 10 years its worth £40k 😂
