My New M2 VERSUS 1M! BMW Shmeemobile Showdown

[@dimitarbletsov3007]

This is exactly the format some of us are looking for. Modern classics vs the equivalent new generation. Very enjoyable video to watch!

[@TheShmuseum]

Thanks for watching, we just took them for a chilled drive, sharing our thoughts as we go

[@betaich]

@@TheShmuseum and thats what is so great about the video

[@Lefty954rr]

i agree with you!!

[@Bmwguy2011]

You’re right, although with me, I have difficulty getting excited about the new cars. I wish the manufacturers would steer clear (pun) of electric steering, offer manual transmissions and stop forcing turbos on us. Trump, Meloni, and soon, the AFD, in Germany will be ruling. They don’t care about us driving golf carts and eating bugs.

[@sthabiso_mkhize]

The consistency on this channel is amazing. Thank you, Tim, and the entire team.

[@TheShmuseum]

Thanks for the support! We've got some really fun videos to come, just bringing you along behind the scenes at the garage

[@urbanracer032]

Happy to see these kind of long format, informal videos with Brad, Puppi and other folks coming back!

[@TheShmuseum]

Glad you like them!

[@stevendolphin6752]

Absolutely in love with these videos, feels old school KZbin and I’m here for it! Keep them coming!

[@TheShmuseum]

Thank you

[@jamesryanwigley]

35:01 definitely love this format! I’ve actually been considering an M2 so this is great content. It would be interesting seeing similar videos on your other cars

[@TheShmuseum]

Noted!

[@Dino-qq2jp]

This channel is better than the main one IMO!! (For reference, I've been watching you Tim on your main channel since the V8 vantage days) Big fan!! Thanks guys. Please keep these videos coming. The "real world" stuff is very relaxing to watch.

[@TheShmuseum]

Wow, thanks!

[@pattyayyy]

The 1 looking like the base model is exactly why it’s cool. If you know what to look for you know how cool it is. Not trying to be something it’s not

[@TheShmuseum]

I agree, that does make it stand out to those that know

[@Andy8x]

That was always teh ethos of the M cars.

[@nicoooootje95]

Holy moly!! i was so freaked out by the figure in the room behind them at 2:35 😮 It looked like a real person was standing there smiling at them 😂

[@TheShmuseum]

Ha!! Sorry for throwing you off with that

[@Russell_G]

Lando Lurks..............

[@007knick]

Love this format. Can’t wait for the first road trip in the M2

[@TheShmuseum]

Nurburgring trip me thinks!

[@rohan6983]

The elder brother and younger brother dynamic of Tim and Brad makes such an interesting video...

[@TheShmuseum]

Glad you like it

[@puppi2743]

Can't believe I still haven't driven either of them yet ;-)

[@kurt9055]

It's your turn now

[@HQBProductions]

Grab the keys when Tim is in the shower…make a dash for it! 😃😃😃

[@Russell_G]

Love, love LOVE this format, just feels more real, and we get to hear Puppi too!

[@ShaneOSullivan-q6l]

Really love these videos. Well done Tim

[@TheShmuseum]

Glad you like them!

[@Birdy__-dk3qj]

Absolutely love these sorts of videos mate..thank you for doing them

[@TheShmuseum]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching

[@abdullahilyas4354]

Love this type of content with the casual driving and explaining day to day living with the car. Keep it up

[@sidrens5292]

I wasn’t sure about the wheel colour change of the 1M but they actually look fantastic with the orange!

[@morganmitchell5470]

I’m loving the content. Big thanks to the team for improving my days greatly !!!!

[@TheShmuseum]

Great to hear!

[@stilnessspeaks8104]

Best channel Shmee, keep them coming; love it!

[@TheShmuseum]

Thank you!

[@nathanfealey7987]

Great video Tim, really enjoying having this channel back

[@TheShmuseum]

Glad to hear it

[@Carsaddiction]

You need to do a whole video just showcasing all the car keys you have, and what's cool about each of them.

[@TheShmuseum]

Haha I get super nerdy about keys

[@adarshtambi9565]

Brilliant idea

[@HuracanST]

​@@TheShmuseumThat's a genius idea. I'd love to see all ur car keys

[@fatesandmyths]

This is a good way to show these cars. Light banter on the road and a working indikator on the bimmer, good fun😅

[@DonnieN22]

Really enjoy the format of this channel. I like the behind the scenes, not as produced videos. Keep up the good work.

[@TheShmuseum]

Thanks for watching

[@Austin-mz9ol]

This channels videos have been killing it lately, I found myself watching less and less schmee recently, and I figured out it was due to the lack of behind the scenes fun and good looks into your “chill” side. It’s very refreshing keep it up Tim!

[@AlexGreenleaf-d2c]

It’s also awesome having puppi150 involved in these videos giving her thoughts and just getting to hear what she has to say

[@cafe405]

Enjoying seeing more of the team interaction over the last few videos I've watched.

[@TheShmuseum]

Glad you've enjoyed it

[@duffydon1741]

I just love how real Shmee is, this is the one dude to really follow as your mentor, no jesko wannabe, he lives realistically one day at a time and is a smart smart businessman, keep doing you Shmee!!

[@melaniezimmermann-jv7th]

"Shmee" on Shmee150 channel, "Tim" on Shmee's Garage...

[@TheShmuseum]

I appreciate that!

[@user-tn1vc1xz5d]

I love this style of video, more relaxed. Love the main channel, this is just a nice difference. I used to be here watching the Shmuseum build ❤🥰

[@TheShmuseum]

Thanks for continuing to check out the videos

[@AlexGreenleaf-d2c]

I’ve been loving this format and chill vibes and theme of these vids on this channel so far, awesome job keep it up Tim 👍🏾

[@TheShmuseum]

Thanks! Will do!

[@mankymall]

1M all day long. Loving this channel vs the main channel, more of this please.

[@capcohan931]

These videos are always great to watch with a cup of coffee!

[@TheShmuseum]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@vandit83]

Love this channel. So glad it’s been brought back. Polished stuff has its place but this is what I really want to watch. Also… it was -8°c this morning. 4°c is warm 😂

[@TheShmuseum]

I know right! Just drove the M2 with -5.5C on the dash... very slowly!

[@ConradJG101]

You asked and we will respond... I love the head-to-head and how it feels... - that is what is part of the love of driving!! More of these, please.

[@psgp298]

the 1M is sooooooooo much cooler. Ultimate BMW.

[@markspark7347]

I love the vids I have to work with music a lot and this I can watch without interfering with my work :)

[@TheShmuseum]

Thanks for watching

[@brandonburr4900]

I vote for more comparison videos with brad and maybe , insurance permitting, other more $$ cars. Can't believe I wasn't subscribed after watching this channel from the begging. Thanks brad and tim!

[@stephenlane9168]

Tim I’ve enjoyed this video format. I’m watching at 3am in the morning. Really enjoyed this 👌

[@TheShmuseum]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@billminkowitz3710]

A 2002 might be a good project after the 914

[@TheShmuseum]

I've actually always liked them, that could be great!

[@mikeroczkowski8545]

Congrats on the new m2 shmee.... so happy to see a GOOD car youtuber review this 🚗 i ordered one 2 months ago in portimao blue metallic... cant wait for it... hope to see more videos of this g87... and that yellow actually looks so much better on the road than the pics on the bmw site 😊

[@paulhancock]

The 1M is such a cool, iconic car. Watching this made me think of how many new cars are actually 'cool' any more. It's hard to put your finger on why and I don't think I'm just being nostalgic, but there just aren't many new cars which have that aura about them... They're faster, more capable, more features... But just leave you (me) feeling a bit cold. Maybe because they're all very similar due to the regulations and maybe they're all just too perfect and don't have their own quirky personality. I don't know, maybe it's just me!

[@damindra]

This is far more informative than the usual reviews, as this is real life!

[@TheShmuseum]

Glad you liked the video

[@stevenkruger5774]

Really really enjoyed this video! So good to hear the specific opinions and perspectives along with some banter. Kudos gentlemen 💪🏻💪🏻 Cheers to the Shmuseum Channel! 🥂🥂

[@TheShmuseum]

Thank you!

[@D00FY]

I love the long form driving videos

[@TheShmuseum]

Glad you enjoy it

[@Dodge_Gowans]

Great video. Enjoying the two mates discussing a car format. Do you not fancy doing more of these? Cheers.

[@razortooth3487]

This format is more enjoyable than the main channel, I think KZbin is going back to this format

[@TheShmuseum]

Glad you like it

[@danielheathcote5625]

Love the work you guys are doing here on this channel. We’ve met puppi, brads back. Enjoying Brad and Tim hanging* out and chatting a bit more like friends rather than the more polished delivery you get on main channel - I watch the main channel but not as much as this one. I don’t know how you’ve kept up the schedule yo7 do Tim, but love the slightly more relaxed, less frenetic approach -still excited by the joys of your fleet but love the fact you’re not rushing around like @ loon. Think I’d take the 1M - I love the dash, it’s not over the top with buttons, you’ve got the stuff you want to access easily readil6 available. I’d do the same with the infotainment as you. Great work gang.

It looks like focusing on more videos in this channel, I gonna love it on every behind the scenes😊

[@TheShmuseum]

That's the plan for now

[@dworoberts]

Tim, I thought you had forgotten your KZbin password after 11 days without an upload on the main channel! Delighted to see the Shmuseum is back up and running. Hope you and the team have a warmer weekend than our -12*C up here in Scotland!

[@TheShmuseum]

That's seriously chilly! Keep warm up there

[@rubyroth]

Save the buttons, save the Manuals! 1M😍

[@rajasashtikar7705]

These are the videos I enjoy. Thank you so much for this content.

[@samuelfitzpatrick9739]

This is awesome. Tim is quickly becoming the king of the car world.

[@TheShmuseum]

Thanks for the support

[@richardfittonperkins1926]

Hi Tim, the size difference is due to the current 2-Series Coupé being based on the G20 3-Series platform, where as the other "2" derivatives are built on the smaller Mini Countryman platform. Your G82 was based on the original 1-Series pan, so it is naturally a much smaller vehicle.

[@TheShmuseum]

Thanks for the technical explanation

[@richardfittonperkins1926]

@ Anytime 😉

[@erneststrickland1956]

Good stuff.. still so happy this channel is back..

[@TheShmuseum]

More to come!

[@Tibialstone7]

Absolutely brilliant video as always mate. One thing to consider is an oil cooler and front radiator aftermarket protector. It is so exposed so definitely recommended to avoid a hefty repair if something goes through it on the road!

[@TheShmuseum]

Agreed; it's super vulnerable like this

[@jordanspencer5101]

I have an original M2 LCI and after having driven all derivatives of the car, I feel like it is the perfect blend between light weight / small / raw and more modern technology of them all, hence the purchase... But yet you very rarely see anyone with one its always the very original M2 or the M2 comp or like this comparison against the 1M. They are almost forgotten but are ever so slightly just perfect.

[@brianmergl4822]

Really enjoying this channel!

[@justintime33]

yes gents, the new idea branching out to drive and chill and review, is brilliant. Add it to the video format options you hold chaps

[@TheShmuseum]

Noted!

[@RustyBonnet]

One of the things that i missed when going form my e81 123 to the f21 140 was the steering. Hydraulic R&P as opposed to Servotronic. I understand that modern cars need it for all the assistance settings, but imho it was a little to early on the F21. I also found the suspension in the e81 a lot more crashy compared to the F21 even in sport with the adaptive ride.

[@paulgray9989]

I have just collected my Brooklyn Grey M2 G87 and also have a 991.1 Carrera S. I feel the same about my cars as you do about those two. The M2 is a great daily driver but still feels special. The 991.1 is a more raw and playful car and not as refined as the M2 but love them both in different ways. Don't think I'll be selling any of them anytime soon.

[@TheDamonsta]

Definitely do this more next do the 296 and 675 Or Roma and V8 vantage

[@SuperMauricem]

M2 would be the car for me 😊love the modern tech the large screen etc just more car

[@49tkscott]

I'm still thrilled with the return of the Shmuseum channel. I imagine that purchasing the automatic transmission on the M2 would make it less desirable for the depreciation than the manual transmission. Am I wrong?

[@TheShmuseum]

Don't think it'll make much difference, the manual car costs more to buy so in theory has more to lose

[@danielheathcote5625]

@@TheShmuseumyeah, it was -5 when I went out this morning, was lovely but I had to put my traction control on several times!

[@krahnica]

Definitely happy with this format of video. It’ll be nice when Brad can drive some higher end cars in the collection👌

[@TheShmuseum]

Looking forward to it

[@danimaltinti]

Amazing Tim! 👍🏻🎉🎊. Lovely content 🙏

[@darthgriff]

I LOVE that colour. Id have that in a heartbeat.

[@gregsterere]

Loved the video, something about the fact it’s more raw makes it refreshing. Also love a BMW, I’ve never seen a DCT F82 M4 on the channels and it would be interesting to hear your opinion between it and the 1M and M2 as it kinda sits in the middle.

[@lexist2112]

Tim, Funfact….. you don’t have to slam the hood… bonnet for you. All you need to do is allow the hood close the hood and here for the first click , then gently over the left and right side place you hands over the hood clamps and you’ll here the second click..locked Try it and be amazed

[@MrRonan3]

That M2 my favourite car in that garage".Love it",

[@smoath]

The format is great Tim 👍🏻

[@TheShmuseum]

Thanks

Love the comment "That's the one I'll be taking home" because both of them will be there 🙌🏼

[@TheShmuseum]

Haha; I meant it literally because I live a drive away, so taking home rather than leaving at work.

[@Cf-82]

I'm liking this channel, KZbin has got way over produced lately and i just like the rawness of The Shmuseum.

[@TheShmuseum]

Glad to hear it

[@wellsyandcars]

Both cars look great to drive. I do really like the 1M and think that engagement you get from a car like this is difficult to beat. I think your right, daily the M2 weekend summer fun in the 1M.

[@Ben-qe8ju]

When people question these purchases, they are in denial about whether they would act differently. The reason people like Shmee continue to purchase them is because firstly, they want the dopamine hit of a new car. We all love that. Second, they get access to great finance deals. Third, it’s for the benefit of their business, which means it’s likely not a personal purchase and can benefit from some cheeky accounting to offset the cost against other business expenses. If we could, we would. No bloody wonder he’s always smiling.

[@JoeP1712]

Fun to watch as always. Have a good weekend guys 😅

[@TheShmuseum]

Thanks! You too!

[@HQBProductions]

Tim..well done and thank you for this. There is no “winner” because they are for different experiences. Yes the 1M is a special car of its time but the new car is vastly better to own and drive daily. I would take the M2 instantly but understand why so many like the 1M. If my wife was well enough to ride in the M2 (ride stiffness is the problem) I would be ordering my M2 this morning! 🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@claudesaliba1356]

Enjoyed this video! 1m for me have had mine since new and can’t part with it. An exhaust may make a difference to the fun factor and stage 1 tune

What would be cool is a nice playlist of the project on the Abarth. And then a Shmee baby cars tour. Renault V6, Abarth and 1M

I think we'll get cracking on the work the Abarth needs in the near future

[@sshrivaas]

@ awesome sauce!

[@mbingham10]

Good choice, any car that comes in Harry Metcalfe top 3 cars of 2024 against some stiff competition and Chris Harris’s says its the best M car on sale today is good enough for me I would get one of these before they spoil it with the competition and 4 wheel drive its definitely a future classic car and has for the looks which are subjective they look fine in my humble

[@alkabond]

M2 CS would of been a nice comparison as well

[@TheShmuseum]

Unfortunately I don't have one of those, but did very much enjoy driving one in the past

[@allancarr2358]

Interesting that it has the same engine as my daily driver (Z4 3.5is), which I love.

[@RemkoEHV]

[@toblerone0124]

The comment about BMW's carrying speed very well is seemingly true for high end German saloons, my audi S5 is very much the same, as was my C-63 before it. makes me very cautious about speed, only needed to get caught doing almost 100 once to learn my lesson!

[@baxter4303]

This is what I like. Real world driving experience.

[@Khazowak]

I love watching these Videos amazing contents!

[@jo05dk]

It's definitely the 1M for me. I've always loved the launch spec, beautiful colour that really suits the car, and while ny loathing for how the M2 looks cant be the decider, it certainly does take a lot away from what joy of ownership there may be. ... and i hate how big it is. The 1M is a special occasions car, but so it should be as it is a special car, imho.

Whilst it is launch spec, alpine white or black sapphire just wouldn’t fit quite as nicely into the skittles. Opportunity to change colour even if with peelable paint to a nice San Marino Blue or Java Green perhaps

[@mattwestbury9240]

Maybe a back to back look at the Vantage and GT8 Astons would be good, one being a grand tourer and the other a more track focused, honestly I just want to hear the GT8 more 😅
