yes, it’s the best M BMW. Thumbs up, thestreightpipers! One of best car channels! Just one thing if you want to switch from carplay, you can do it in youtube app, dont have to go to setting od iphone. Just click tv icon next to camcorder icon. There are airplay and youtube devices->you can choose between iphone or car for streaming device. It isn’t that complicated!
I was about to fast forward through the insurance plug until I realized that you were going to use it to give a ball park on the M2s rates. That is an EXCELLENT idea. Those are things I think about all the time. Great job guys
You guys are winning me over as my favourite car channel! I love how you never completely agree on things and that each opinion weighs equally. The cars are interesting and your general dynamic is well balanced and natural. This is good stuff! I hope you grow just as big and succesful as you deserve :)
Did you know that BMW was forced to swap the engine in the M2, because the old one wouldn't have passed the new emission tests? Great car, phenomenal engine.
I’m sitting at the BMW of San Francisco dealership waiting for my m2 comp to be brought out to me. I’ve been waiting for it to get here for weeks and today is the day. I’m so happy to be part of this community. I’ve had a e36 m3 and then a e46 m3 in college and now I’m 30 years old sitting here with my 335i excited to follow my friend hom while he drives my 335
It’s amazing how just in a short amount of time, your professionalism and experience in auto reviewing has increased. I was just wondering in 40 years, when your geezers, are you still going to be reviewing competition cars? I hope so !!!!!
I think as long as Yuri is still rockin that hoodie when they are geezer-reviewing, then anything is possible! Plus, since it's been labeled #TheElephantInTheRoom, we must point out that elephants ARE one of the longest living animals! I think all the signs are pointing to YES!!!
Unfortunately, in reality this channel will very likely be sold in the foreseeable future to some corporate overlord and that will be the end of this great run. Sad
As a car lover, thank you. You guys have turned into my #1 UA-cam car channel easily. Thank you for always bringing a real life approach to what you do.
@@juanesteban8183 Forgot which one, but one of them did them both on timed laps were pretty much the same, just a minor difference because the driver messed up on the M2 lap. That being said 2021 Supra is suppose a little bit faster with more upgrades and tweaks from Toyota.
At first I thought the Supra looked good but I just saw one on the road and it just looks like it’s trying to hard. It also looks to have too much roundness.
After watching you guys test the M240i I finally pulled the trigger on a factory new 230i which I picked up from the dealer not two weeks ago, and it's the best feeling ever :D Thank you guys!
Congratulations on your purchase! Quick question: How's the back seat for that car? Can an average sized adult sit comfortably in the back? Thanks in advance! :)
@@skykao1197 7 months late to this comment, but I own an M2 (same interior) and the backseat room is shockingly good for the size of this car. I'm 5'5 (under "average" I guess) and I fit very comfortably behind myself. I've also had a 5'9 friend in the front passenger seat and a 5'6 friend behind him, and there was sufficient leg room (neither knees touching anything, but it needed a bit of coordination/optimizing for the 2 of them to "get it right"). Hope this helps.
Holy shit, I didn't realize they'd grown so much. I found this channel what feels like forever ago they were well below 100k then. Don't know how far below, but I'm thinking like.... 40k?
@@mikekay213 absolutely. Not counting the almost 250k in 2018. Looked at the metrics and it's been a steady uphill climb for the last 18 months or so. Seriously impressive growth.
775K subs with only days left.. Damn. Looks like a Christmas miracle is the only way 1 million will come before 2019... Though, they deserve it! Love these guy's content!
Yuri is doing a lot better than when you guys first started. He’s become so much more of a car enthusiast and he’s gotten a lot more at ease with driving fast. Good job dude! 👍
great look, great engine note, love everything but the lack of that 3rd pedal. people have to realize it is NOT about 0-60 or track times- its about the driving experience and the sense of control a manual affords. I am willing to pay EXTRA for a manual shift. Excellent review!
Hey guys your review of this car helped me a lot thank you I just took delivery last week of my 2020 M2 Competition 6 mt no sunroof in Hochenheim Silver Lovin it
Tahbib Ahmed the rear of the M2 is pretty weak tbh, M3/4 is night and day better looking. That muffler looks like it's falling off to. Not sure what they were thinking when the slapped that rear on.
@@TRIKushbeachside Not one word of a lie... But I feel like the M4 rear is too squashed; there's something about it that bugs me and that's why the M3 blows it out of the water.
I'm with Mitchell and Whale and they seem pretty great. I frequently switch 80s era sports cars that no one else wants to insure, and they never give me a hassle
This is the first of your guys vids I've caught. That's some seriously tight editing and sweet production chops you are showing off for a YT channel of any size. Very impressive.
I have bought an M2 comp myself and can't wait for it to be ready for me to pick it up at the dealer. I have given it a test drive, dealer teased into m4 comp with a massive discount, ie. at the same price as the m2c, but m2c clearly won it for me. I have driven both. I have seen tons of videos of m2c, but this one is by far my most favorite one. Have seen it like ten times or so. You guys really deserve a gold medal!
Compliments of the season guys. Thank you for being a big part of my year. I love cars. I discovered you through your BMW 440! M Perf, Which by far is still one of my favorite videos till date. I love BMWs. Thank you for giving them your best reviews. It verifies my desire for them even more.
Hey guys, you know that wireless Apple car play thing, well you can change your audio without having to turn it off. Open control center (the swipe up/right swipe down if you’re on a X/Xs, then click the little radial button on the music/UA-cam audio play/pause button, you can deselect your car audio there, and it’ll stay connected but play through your phone speakers.

Keep up the amazing work. What I’ve heard is that they had to switch to the M3/M4 engine because they couldn’t get the old one to pass the new EU emissions tests. First time those emissions tests have had a positive effect for petrolheads.
I really was looking forward to seeing this video because this is the only car that BMW currently makes that interests me, but I had to stop it at 0:15 after realizing that the car in the video is optioned in a way I'd never buy any car. But I'm leaving a comment to help out & a thumbs up because you guys always make excellent videos.
Thanks for reviewing the M2 Competition. Our local dealer doesn't have one, but my wife and I tested the 2018 M2 back-to-back against the 2019 M240i xDrive and ended up ordering the M240i mainly for the xDrive and the fact that the suspension was more settled and less jouncy than the M2. Probably will test out the M2 Competition when our dealer gets one though, just to see how it is.
@@TheStraightPipes I was going to ask how you guys would weigh the M2 Competition vs. the M240i considering the $10,000+ difference, but it sounds like the answer is pretty clear.
Congratulations with the new sponsorship. It is actually a really interesting one in my opinion. I would love if you guys could give us the approximate price for yearly full coverage for every vehicle you guys do from here on out!
Nice. It is interesting to see the difference for city and suburbian residents. Is that because traffic is so bad in toronto that there are a lot of accidents or is the rate higher to discourage owning a car in the city?
@@fabianherrmann6398 Ya its the density of traffic that leads to a higher frequency of accidents. In some areas of the city, each accident can have higher values due to some occasional fraud.
I have owned 5 M cars, the M2, E46 M3, E90 M3, Z3M Coupe with the S54 engine and a BMW 1M. All were equipped with manual transmissions. I loved them all and i am a big fan of the M2 Comp, I had one on order but the best M car in my opinion is the BMW 1 Series M. My car actual car was reviewed by Doug Demuro, Nick Murray and Tommy FYeah.
Merry Christmas Gs! Sweater swap was priceless. That drone work really showed Cliché Corner in its best light. Better engine in the smaller chassis? Yes please!
Two weeks have passed with my M2 Comp and you guys are so right. It's about as perfect as you can get for a fun, tossable car. Replaced my M235i and I'm so glad I did - I was worried it wasn't going to be as noticeable. Already have a box of mods ready to go.
Thats crazy, and i am here thinking bikes and supercars and TSP come in with mostly cars. I mean, Jakub and Yuri, get a lambo from Audi, its majorly the same dealer. You guys get Audis why not try go for an Urus next time or a Huracan. Getting an Aventador will be hard cuz V12.
the insurance add was well done. Appreciate the real world example using the car being reviewed and compared to a base model. A new way to engage the audience with the sponsorship!
Man, hanging with saveageese and watching his vids.. Getting replies from Brian Makse (during the carplay section here) ..smoking tire podcasts.. Guys are becoming automotive UA-cam royalty ;)
Great video. As a fellow UA-camr I had my 2016 M2 for 3 years and posted a lot of long term reviews on it. I love the M2 Comp and had a stick shift car on order but big price difference between this and a used original M2. You can buy a 2016 M2 manual for $40k here in the U.S. where a new M2 Comp will run you $61-65k depending on options and more with dealer mark ups. I just sold my M2 and a couple of other cars to buy a Mclaren 570s but I will add an M2 Comp to the collection soon, but it will be a manual.
M2 with N55 and M2C with S55 have the same size engine, S55 does have an extra turbo though. I can't wait to get mine and compare it to the 2017 M2 I traded in.
you can just change the audio output in the control center (in the music player widget, press the wifi logo) without disconnecting the apple carplay to get the audio out from your iphone, right?
Love the channel guys...I wish the car manufactures for the nicer cars like the 911's, M3's, M2's, etc. would stop putting license plates on the front of the cars. It kills the entire look of the car. The M2's actually looks a bit crooked.
Wow! I normally am not a BMW fanboy but your excitement for this ride spilled right out of my screen. Great intro, cool music and that drone shot. Then Yuri looks cool in his colorful sweater and doesnt twitch while Jakub hoons trough the corner. Nice driver transition and tasteful sponsor placement as well. Loved the detailed comparisons with your other BMW experiences and Yuris insight into CarPlay with a shoutout to savagegeese. Just one thing: how is the seating room in back? It is a drivers car sure, but is it totally unbearable or could Jakub sit there for a short time at least?
Drove one of these on track a few weeks back and was totally impressed by the power delivery, it pushes so smoothly even from 3k rpm. Very good grip coming out of tight corners aswell. Only complains i could have is that it feels alittle heavy and its not as direct on the steering as a Cayman GT4 or any cayman tbh...
I'm awaiting delivery on mine. Same color, three pedals, one sunroof. I was torn, didn't like adding the weight, particularly up top, but I like sunroofs. It's real, I have an actual VIN with my name on the paper. I'm excited. Srsly I'm happy that you think it will be a classic. Makes me feel like I did the right thing. Cheers.
Not complaining because I love TSP videos sooo much... *but* ... This better have been pre-recorded, what happened to a holiday break you two??? Don't subject yourselves to UA-cam 'burnout'
They had to tape all their BMW stuff and wait for media release day to put it out. This is how they keep people clicking.... By releasing videos weekly.

The muffler is functional... It prevents the rear bumper from acting as a parachute (holding air).

Wrong the 8series M is the best M car ever
The 2019 8series M
Florian Najdeni the 8 series M is not a true M car
8 series m are you serious as big as a boat with none of the room inside 😹
Just picked up my 2020 M2 Competition this weekend. This review is basically spot on. Its easily one of my most favorite cars ive ever purchased.
I was about to fast forward through the insurance plug until I realized that you were going to use it to give a ball park on the M2s rates. That is an EXCELLENT idea. Those are things I think about all the time. Great job guys
We even snuck in M240i rates for fun 😉
For an M4, I got estimated over $10k then again I live in NYC and I’m 18
My monthly on my 2020 M2C is about $82.

I have owned 5 M cars, the M2, E46 M3, E90 M3, Z3M Coupe with the S54 engine and a BMW 1M. All were equipped with manual transmissions. I loved them all and i am a big fan of the M2 Comp, I had one on order but the best M car in my opinion is the BMW 1 Series M. My car actual car was reviewed by Doug Demuro, Nick Murray and Tommy FYeah.
Merry Christmas Gs! Sweater swap was priceless. That drone work really showed Cliché Corner in its best light. Better engine in the smaller chassis? Yes please!
Merry Christmas!
Two weeks have passed with my M2 Comp and you guys are so right. It's about as perfect as you can get for a fun, tossable car. Replaced my M235i and I'm so glad I did - I was worried it wasn't going to be as noticeable. Already have a box of mods ready to go.
Did you buy it because of us ?
@@TheStraightPipes Definitely helped push me over to the competition vs regular. Thanks and keep up the great videos guys.
Thanks for this video!! M2 is one of my favourite car, guys! Only channel I watch the video without skipping.
I just want to know why this guys don't have a million subscribers. They are the best
7:25 for pure legend status
Been patiently awaiting the M2 Competition from you boys! Thanks, cannot wait to move into this beast!
I thought the Elefant in the room was Yuri's Shirt! The drivers swap was so funny!😂😂
This M2 could easily be my choice, it's amazing!
Just got rid of the Stinger today for a 2021 M2C and yes it is as good as you say.
I get interested in a car and magically TheStraightPipes reviews it. Are you sure we aren't connected telepathically?
We're not sure of anything. Except that this car is sick
Thats crazy, and i am here thinking bikes and supercars and TSP come in with mostly cars. I mean, Jakub and Yuri, get a lambo from Audi, its majorly the same dealer. You guys get Audis why not try go for an Urus next time or a Huracan. Getting an Aventador will be hard cuz V12.
Guess you missed our Huracan Performante video which included all of those cars
@@TheStraightPipes Well, thats added to my watch list now...
the insurance add was well done. Appreciate the real world example using the car being reviewed and compared to a base model. A new way to engage the audience with the sponsorship!
perfectly balanced, like all things should be..
Love the channel, you guys have motor trend level of filming, editing, and professionalism you guys need more subs
Share the videos!
Man, hanging with saveageese and watching his vids.. Getting replies from Brian Makse (during the carplay section here) ..smoking tire podcasts.. Guys are becoming automotive UA-cam royalty ;)
Great video. As a fellow UA-camr I had my 2016 M2 for 3 years and posted a lot of long term reviews on it. I love the M2 Comp and had a stick shift car on order but big price difference between this and a used original M2. You can buy a 2016 M2 manual for $40k here in the U.S. where a new M2 Comp will run you $61-65k depending on options and more with dealer mark ups. I just sold my M2 and a couple of other cars to buy a Mclaren 570s but I will add an M2 Comp to the collection soon, but it will be a manual.
7:35 actual footage of my wife driving a car. Having my ACL surgery and not being able to drive SUCKS!
I’m glad I didn’t pull the trigger on last years m2... the refresh on this years m2 COMP is awesome.
I will probably buy this car with the new sponsorship insurance... Thanks for the tip
What colour? Manual or manual?
@@TheStraightPipes I like their long beach blue color because it is soooo subtle. I don't have a choice, do I? This is the best M car after all!
TheStraightPipes hahaha
You guys are fast becoming one of my favorite channels. Great job guys!
Stunning and high-performance car without spending a fortune, within everyone's reach, or almost.
Surprised I've missed this one in the past. Wait congratulations on almost hitting 1 MILLION!
Straight Pipes is going off this year 🔥
Best car review channel ever also +1 on the M2 Comp!
Liked! For the B-roll drone shot because that's a lot of effort for a sped up shot... And for Yuri's.. poncho?
Best review on UA-cam for this awesome car. Thinking of trading my M135i for a 2019 or 2020 M2 Comp.
LOVED seeing the clip from Mosport! I come up from Buffalo every summer for the IMSA series, it's a great time!
M2 with N55 and M2C with S55 have the same size engine, S55 does have an extra turbo though. I can't wait to get mine and compare it to the 2017 M2 I traded in.
That exhaust is louder than Yuri's sweater! Calling Mitchell and Whale today 👍
Hopefully they're open! Haha just send them an email if they're not and they'll get back to you quick
@@TheStraightPipes need that Right hand drive insurance ! 🤜🤛
You guys make great videos - thanks guys! Hope you all have a long and prosperous career in the car-review game!
you can just change the audio output in the control center (in the music player widget, press the wifi logo) without disconnecting the apple carplay to get the audio out from your iphone, right?
Awesome review, guys. Love your style and enthusiasm! I have a 2013 V8 M3 coupe and if I ever sell it, the M2 Competition would replace it.
Yooooo V8 M3 🙌🙌🙌
@@TheStraightPipes S55 M2 Comp still a viable purchase in 2024/25? Love your channel btw 🫶🙏
Man I love BMW
BMW traction control FTW, MDM mode has saved me more times than I can count in the M4 but still lets you have fun!
Love the channel guys...I wish the car manufactures for the nicer cars like the 911's, M3's, M2's, etc. would stop putting license plates on the front of the cars. It kills the entire look of the car. The M2's actually looks a bit crooked.
It's not manufacturers that decide front license plates, that would be local laws...
@@MrRdb1963 I understand what you are saying but my real point is it's a sin to drill holes in the front bumper of a nice car.
@@frankmazzeo2302 or just make your licence plates not ugly af?? Europe does it, no one complains about licence plates here.
@@mohda.9420 yes the license plates in the U.S. are huge. I much rather perfer the size and shape you have in Europe.
This is some next level videography with the drone, videos now look even better
I have finally figured out exactly where cliche corner is!!!!
I have never sat through a whole car review util n ow. It was enjoyable and informative. New sub.
0:59 Juri is like "Good Lord please take this corner with us"
FYI to quickly disable CarPlay turn the WiFi and Bluetooth off in the quick settings page
Wow! I normally am not a BMW fanboy but your excitement for this ride spilled right out of my screen. Great intro, cool music and that drone shot. Then Yuri looks cool in his colorful sweater and doesnt twitch while Jakub hoons trough the corner. Nice driver transition and tasteful sponsor placement as well. Loved the detailed comparisons with your other BMW experiences and Yuris insight into CarPlay with a shoutout to savagegeese. Just one thing: how is the seating room in back? It is a drivers car sure, but is it totally unbearable or could Jakub sit there for a short time at least?
No its really bad. Unbearable unless it's like a 1 minute drive
thanks, good to know. That means I have to get the E63s wagon as a second car for when I need the room :D :D :D
I feel like I fit in the back alright in the m240i
it's easy to fit, you just can't stretch your legs.
I fit a car seat and my family in back np. Tallest person is 5’7”
The engine bay is beautiful with that carbon fiber front brace. Gorgeous.
It's a shame they took three carbon fiber brace away on the new m3 and m4. It's just a metal brace now
Drove one of these on track a few weeks back and was totally impressed by the power delivery, it pushes so smoothly even from 3k rpm. Very good grip coming out of tight corners aswell. Only complains i could have is that it feels alittle heavy and its not as direct on the steering as a Cayman GT4 or any cayman tbh...
I'm awaiting delivery on mine. Same color, three pedals, one sunroof. I was torn, didn't like adding the weight, particularly up top, but I like sunroofs. It's real, I have an actual VIN with my name on the paper. I'm excited. Srsly I'm happy that you think it will be a classic. Makes me feel like I did the right thing. Cheers.
Not complaining because I love TSP videos sooo much... *but* ...
This better have been pre-recorded, what happened to a holiday break you two??? Don't subject yourselves to UA-cam 'burnout'
They had to tape all their BMW stuff and wait for media release day to put it out.
This is how they keep people clicking.... By releasing videos weekly.
Yeah this was filmed like 2 weeks ago. We're not filming anything this week, only editing. But less editing than usual. Then a week break. Lol
We’ve been burned out for months maaannnn
@@YuriTereshyn *burn _ing_ out for months...in tons of super fast cars! 😎
Best editing in the game
