Your dad is a hot foot. Manual transmission is great when you can handle it. My husband loves manual. My husband says automatic is steering not driving. Love the colour and we know your dad will love driving his new baby
Ordered one of these with the Carbon Package as soon as I could after seeing it. Instantly reminded me of the cars I would drive in the old NFS games just more modern. The fact that it has the S58 motor is just an amazing bonus
Been following Shmee since 2014, now I get to hear he has not only a sister, but a brother too 😁😁 That’s soo cool 😁 btw, congrats to your father on his new M2 ! It’s very very cool ! BMW make cars in an era where others (mercedes cough cough) rather ruin them with skoda fabia engines
It's 'SHMOORY CHRISTMAS' from Shmoo the Cow with a limited run Father Christmas themed air freshener available right now for a limited time only: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235331031747
The "old" M2 is just a stunning looking car. A highpoint in modern BMW design and IMO, leagues better looking than their current design language. I have the last gen m240i, and i think it's a nice balance of size, performance and sportiness.
The issue with choosing one of the bolder colours is, that you see the really not pretty design more clearly. This colour works better for me than most of the colours i've seen on the new M2, exactly because it puts a bit of a dampener on the horrible angles of this car. Kudos to your dad for choosing the manual transmission. That is the correct gearbox for this car, imho. It's supposed to be a fun car. Manual gearbox certainly helps with that. I hope he has a lot of fun with his new car.
Tim….your Dad’s car is a spiritual successor to my new 325i Sport which I bought in October 1986. Mine was Alpine white with Moccha cloth/check upholstery and sunroof. I did 32,000 miles in it all over Europe including past the Artic Circle and many miles in Germany and France. I sold it in 1989 but the next owner wrote it off in just a few weeks. Now..37 years on, I wonder if a similar spec M2 might be a suitable “ tribute” to my old car. I wish we had met your Dad in this film as he sounds like he might be an interesting enthusiast as well! Maybe next time…a Christmas SHMEE Family video would be good..a short clip of you all amongst some cars!! Good luck Dad….enjoy every moment!😃😃😃😃😃
Hey Shmee, I am late to the show but very nice M2! Ordered my 2025 2 weeks ago. Was struggling about the manual/auto but finally went automatic. I also have an Mx5 for the manual delights. Color is also a hard one. Went for black (despite the fact it “hides” the carbon roof) with silver wheels available now. The 50 Nm increase on the auto box also helped to decide. Cheers from Luxembourg. You should visit us one day as the car culture is pretty high here 👍 Thanks for your channel and your high professionalism from a loyal subscriber.
I been watching you from the beginning. I remember thinking your dad would be enjoying driving your cars when they were missing from the parking garage. I was more excited to watch this video thinking we’d get to meet papa Shmee. The car is nice, I have one on order for my son coincidently.
I bought this car, and I’m in love with it. I also owned the previous M2c. Loved it too but BMW somehow figured out how to make a great car even greater.
The difference in size over the time between these cars, for me the 1M is the sweet spot in ever increasing dimensions, for a small performance car on British roads, and just about the ideal (with car play retro fitted) point for buttons and switches, and analogue dials over touch screens.
Tim’s dad: “I’m going to collect the new car today” Tim: “yay another video opportunity, I’m in!” Tim’s dad: “Balls, we might as well just pack a lunch for while we wait!”
Good fun to see you pick up family members cars as well. Your dad should get plenty of fun out of this pick! :) I seem to recall you helping your sister out a few years back as well? A merc if memory serves me. Perhaps time for an upgrade there soon?
I'm a Canadian so I understand in northern elements. We need winter tires, but in the southern areas of Canada, which gets far more cool than anywhere in Europe. You're fine on all season tires. So I don't understand the need for winter tires in the u. K. When all it does is rain. People really can't drive its crazy
I think you need a new m2 in the garage and you could do a built vs bought series between the m2 and the 1m where you modify the 1m to roughly the same as the new m2 and see what is quicker around the ring
@shmee150 an aftermarket bulb can work but can also cause a warning light. Or here in the US we have a small peanut bulb inside the headlight in the inside upper corner that are common to butn out.
Massive congrats to your dad shmee hope he really enjoys it it looks great .you should buy one as well for your garage .congrats again mate .from dan.m
I remember the last M2 your dad bought was with you and Joey Achilles if I'm not mistaken, I remember watching that during the holidays a few years ago, time flies!!
Having driven both new M2 and M240i which I bought, as an everyday day car the M240 feels much more surefooted to drive. The looks are better, and all this manual gear box nostalgia is definitely overrated. The ZF is a perfect solution, it’s always in the right gear and you can focus on the drive and have the best experience of the car. In the UK the M240 is always the quicker car. It’s all in an individual opinion but using the mind saves you £20k and will also net better residuals. If you want more power just get the car mapped. Best colour for the M240 is portimao blue it looks amazing!
Shmee150 Awesome Video and Congratulations to your Dad on talking Delivery of his Awesome BMW M2 Competition and I think it's awesome that he get it for Dealership that you got your old BMW 123d from
Hi Tim, I doubt you'd ever realised that in the Netherlands, and even parts of darkest Scotland, "Shmoo the Cow" could be pronounced "Shmoo da Coo"!! Which, I think you'll agree, has a slightly better ring to it!!
Just put heat on and the blow to the windscreen manually (top button on left) if it fogs.. :) No need for ac necessarily. That era bmw blower/ac is not the smartest - I have it rarely on auto because I have a better vision on what it should do :D
I really like the idea of buying all the ultimate versions of your old car, are you gonna get an Ultimate Subaru? Something like a Forrester STI would be cool.
I came to say the same exact thing! How many years has it been and those huge “kidneys” on the M3/4 just don’t look good to me. The ones on the 2 now are a little big but not too much, the way it should be.
We have the new 220i m sport and it is so far ahead of the previous gen in every single way. I would love the M240I or M2 but I have an M340i as well so don’t really have a need for two quick cars!
Zenvo still in transit? Should've been at the Shmuseum by now. An FF driving past Shmee is a sign that Shmee needs to add another FF to the collection 😉
Massive congratulations!!! No denying that the new M2 is a much better car than the one it replaces. Still not sold on the looks though. Will hold on to my cs till she gives up on me 😂

Hell yeah !!
Maybe let your dad just use one of your 25 cars that sit all day collecting dust?
I think he has before, quite a lot. But good point.@@BTguy
Is the new M2 available in automatic gearbox ?
Congratulations to your dad Tim, cheers for the nice shout out too 👊👊
Crazy to think that last M2 collection day was 5 years ago! Time flies by like mad
Personally, i think the new M2 is a masterpiece especially in that Brooklyn Grey I hope your dad likes the car.
He's absolutely loving it!
@@Shmee150 🎉🎉❤️
The worst thing about the new M2 is that the old ones exists.
Really agree. Had one in BG with some of the Msport parts on it. Love it in Toronto Red.
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee i like the M3 and M4 they just don’t come close to the M2. the M3 and M4 look good in that dark green too
Your father is still obviously very young at heart. Gotta love it.
He's not even old.
Shmee's family is in a shopping spree plus previous month's were like Christmas for shmee😂😂😂
It's been a crazy run out of the year that's for sure!
this is not even funny anymore
Congrats to your dad Shmee! May he enjoy his M2 and drive many miles in it 🎉
I'm sure he will!
Congrats to your dad on his addition! Nice to hear that he still have his DB11
Your dad is a hot foot. Manual transmission is great when you can handle it. My husband loves manual. My husband says automatic is steering not driving. Love the colour and we know your dad will love driving his new baby
Go on Pappa Shmee, the spec is on point. Congrats on the car👍🏻

good evening Shmee150 massive congratulations to your dad on his brand new M2 keep up your fantastic work. Thank you so much.
Cringe. Just call him Tim.
its even more cringe that hes congratulating somebodys dad on buying a car@@ThomasSeeds
congrats to your dad Shmee on a lovely looking car.

the new one’s absolutely better in every aspect except the looks, if that’s what you’re most attracted to in the car
Congrats to your dad! This is one amazing car that does everything so well, and the fun factor is fantastic.

Congrats to your Dad for this addition!
The manual is why I bought the last manual corvette z06 . That car will appericate in value unlike the autos
Shame we didn’t get to meet your Dad. Felt strange watching a video about collecting your Dads car without meeting or even seeing your Dad.
Papa Shmee should fit the M Performance kit, it takes the car visually to another level
Tim….your Dad’s car is a spiritual successor to my new 325i Sport which I bought in October 1986. Mine was Alpine white with Moccha cloth/check upholstery and sunroof.

The photos before launch didn't do the M2 justice they look amazing in person the more I see them the more I want one
I was really hoping to see your Dad. I wish you would open up a little more of your personal life. We Love You man.
Google...

@@TeewopShiesty what an amazing car! Enjoy!
@@markdhayward thank ya sir 🙏 sounds like we’re both enjoying our german engineered machines
I wish BMW offered a dark racing green option, but the Brooklyn Grey looks amazing for this shape. Cheers to your dad.
Shdad is an absolute G, congratulations! Hope to see that new toy on the channel at times!
Love the wheel design of the M2. Nice to see glimpses of your dad on the channel.
Congrats to your father!
I have a 22 Brooklyn Grey M340i and i love the colour! I hope your Dad is happy with his choice!

Congratulations on your New BMW M2 Papa Shmee!! 👍
Congratulations! Nice to see a comparison of the 1M and new M2.
It’s gorgeous on the inside, if only it was as gorgeous as the 1M on the outside.
Grey is nice also looks good in white. Silver wheels good choice and seats are pretty epic with the colour splash.
This is just a little question when is puppi150 gonna get a car that she chooses to add to the collection ????

Nah the 1m is too rare and clean to do tht

I do remember...fun to make your dad part of the post again. The nut did not fall far from the tree!

Stunning and the Broklyn grey is superb, dad will enjoy this one.
In US, the bi-color wheels are same price as black wheels. The auto and manual transmission as $0 adder as are red calipers.
Shmee150 Awesome Video and Congratulations to your Dad on talking Delivery of his Awesome BMW M2 Competition and I think it's awesome that he get it for Dealership that you got your old BMW 123d from
Can't get to grips with the looks of any of the modern M cars! Infact my favourite is the X5M! Nuts!
Your Dad is a smart man. He got the manual.
Absolutely! Long live the manual
True
17:20 2 cars side by side, the 1m look Like the most new, and ofcurse the most beautyful
Seen the Brooklyn grey in person very nice colour the camera not really doing no justice love the interior 👏🏻 smart spec
Glad dad’s ok, I remember him buying the white Aston Martin.
Good to see that it was ordered with the optional indicators 😂😂
Good effort Shmee, saw the temperature when you were on the drive and you all had to be freezing making this video🥶
I love exterior door handles they have got back old skool handles this car always reminds of e36 M3 from looks.
Hi Tim,
I doubt you'd ever realised that in the Netherlands, and even parts of darkest Scotland, "Shmoo the Cow" could be pronounced "Shmoo da Coo"!! Which, I think you'll agree, has a slightly better ring to it!!
Absolutely Beautiful specification. Never gets better than this 👏🏽♥️
I know you encourage him to have the PPF done to the car. The rims are awesome
Just put heat on and the blow to the windscreen manually (top button on left) if it fogs.. :) No need for ac necessarily. That era bmw blower/ac is not the smartest - I have it rarely on auto because I have a better vision on what it should do :D
Your dad will be proud Congrats
I really like the idea of buying all the ultimate versions of your old car, are you gonna get an Ultimate Subaru? Something like a Forrester STI would be cool.
Congrats Papa Schmee!
This bmw 1M is slowly growing on me glad its not forgotten like the sliver clio
The M2 front end design is much better than the other cars, hope your dad really enjoys it.
I came to say the same exact thing! How many years has it been and those huge “kidneys” on the M3/4 just don’t look good to me.
The ones on the 2 now are a little big but not too much, the way it should be.
So Funny to see you in the UK again and going past the entrance to Knebworth house, where we saw so many of your cars recently.
Lovely car, I love the new M2
I love the 2024 BMW M2 because It is a limited addition to the new sports car of the BMW dealership!
We have the new 220i m sport and it is so far ahead of the previous gen in every single way. I would love the M240I or M2 but I have an M340i as well so don’t really have a need for two quick cars!
I hate the fact this car grew on me!
Such a great little piece machine
Congrats yo your Dad! Drove the G87 for the first time and loved it. How cool was that old M2 Comp collection intro with Mr BMW? hahha. Cheers guys!
Zenvo still in transit? Should've been at the Shmuseum by now. An FF driving past Shmee is a sign that Shmee needs to add another FF to the collection 😉
Maybe it is already ;)
when you said 2008 was 15 years ago, i was sure you counted that wrong. wow, time goes by fast.
16:34 Showing off eh? Ticked the "Indictor" package too. :D
The old one looks way better than the new
Handed many cars over in that bay. Enjoy!
Beautiful, I've been eyeing one of them in the new Frozen Portimao Blue that they're releasing in.
Both father and son should have done the "Cheeeeeeers " at the end 😊
Love the spec!
JDM style mods will be amazing for your M1 , HRE wheels
Congrats Shmee150 On The New Car
Btw, you pay a monthly subscription for the six gears, you can only use 4 without a subscription.
Weird this m2 be looking better n better everytime I see one😮
Always smiling when u get a new car
It would be nice to add a few vintage classics
Personally I love the new M2 ❤
good to see it doesn't have a horrible grilles.
The only BMW that doesn’t look like a tumor. Nice car.
Great choice 😁😉 Congrats 🎉
Great choice on the manual by Shdad150!
that m2 looks like a jdm car all day long . that 1m will always look sexy .
I like the spec, looks great!!
Tell your dad congratulations on the new car 🎉
Nice one Shmee...keep pressing on...!!
Massive congratulations!!!
No denying that the new M2 is a much better car than the one it replaces.
Still not sold on the looks though.
Will hold on to my cs till she gives up on me 😂
