2016 BMW M2 Test Review - Is this a REAL M Car?

[@jiminkrott1569]

I have an m235i and the door handle has never been an issue. There's also a power seat button on the front seats near the shoulder latch to give the person in the back more room to get out/in. Good review.

[@bratzelhutzel]

its not so easy to get out if you don't move the seats mate :)

[@Lord_Deimos]

Two things i realized watching this video: 1. The more i see the M2 the more i love it. 2. Canada looks beautiful, i want to drive the shit out of this road.

[@MrSunnyBhoy]

100% agree

[@tsx3158]

Scenery at the beginning and the bridge look very nice. Definitely my dream car.

[@ganariagente8958]

one of the two best canadian car channels....

[@EverydayReviews2022]

+Ganaria Gente Thank you. That means a lot. I try and do my best. Cheers.

[@AekaoGaming]

And he's in BC!!!

[@jonasmok7803]

Him

[@Philmoscowitz]

What's the other one?

[@riccappa]

Getting out of the back is easy, hit the button on the side of the seat with the arrows. Moves seat all the way to the front for you.

[@justin.bergmann]

Nice review. It's definitely a real M car! I was extremely impressed with the car myself.

[@MarcoValdes1997]

door handle! this is why i like car reviews. Sometimes those things are missed. Thanks

[@muffinboom]

Great review! Btw where in B.C. are you driving? The scenery is beautiful!

[@EverydayReviews2022]

+muffinboom This was driving between Hope and Osoyoos. Thanks!

[@coureurdebois]

all their current M products are REAL M cars... just the M2 is more of a spiritual successor to the original M3.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

I was kinda referring to the M235i. You are correct though on the spiritual successor to the original. Thanks for the comment as usual :)

[@coureurdebois]

Everyday Reviews NP, thanks for the review keep it up :)

[@hax0r117]

That's debateable.

[@coureurdebois]

bateble

[@bubbadeville4892]

61 thousand Canadian Dollars = 60 thousand Australian Dollars yet the manual costs 100k AUD here in Australia... purchasing this car should be mandatory in Canada;)

[@Shootingstar1203]

Is it a real M car? Well.. what does BMW call it? A M2 right? So it’s a M car. End of story

[@MessiMessi-sv2pn]

sounds great

[@d0gma14]

Great review. Thank you.

[@JohnSmith-rx2nd]

Love the car... Great review toon

[@itsm3th3b33]

If you didn't know about the button to move the seats forward so you can get out, why was it easier to get in?

[@Theprofessor1212]

In New Zealand where I live. This car costs more than a pre-registered Range Rover sport. You've got to be really in love to choose this over a range especially if you have a small family and a mortgage.

[@bobstarr]

My condolences.

[@koruki]

Deep J Singh it's a totally diff car. I'm trading in my V8 cayenne for this. Would never go back to a SUV. Btw I live in nz. Range rovers cost more than this

[@vancity2349]

The video is somewhat misleading as some of the footage, ex the opening video over the bridge is from California, not BC Canada.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Not meant to be misleading. I can’t be filming myself when I’m actually driving the car.

[@XMG3]

Wait, you're in Vancouver BC ?

[@bobstarr]

BMW are not always honest with their power numbers. You were driving a 400hp M2. Maybe you want 600hp?

[@bobstarr]

My apologies, its 404 lb/ft. from the factory. Do I trust Dinan, sure , he was hired to help the Ford win the 24hr of LeMans. www.dinancars.com/product/d440-1649-st1-d-tronics-performance-tuner-stage-1-for-bmw-f87-m2/?series=M-series&mid=1243/ on this page you can find dyno results from a stock car. The hp was actually less. Sorry.

[@bratzelhutzel]

well bmw says 370 engine hp - not wheel? so a loss of 10 hp at wheels and 404 lb-ft where it should be only 343 is way more? :)

[@johnh8546]

yeah these numbers show that the M2 is quite a bit more powerful than the claimed numbers considering you should lose 15 or so HP through the drive train. So it has at least 5 more horses than it should and WAY more torque.

[@richardchampagne4395]

Can you turn off the engine sound coming out of speakers?

[@EverydayReviews2022]

+Rico Champagne Not that I'm aware.

[@davidwpatterson]

What's this guy talking about door handles for?

[@jdogkurupt6911]

If you could buy a 2015 M235I X-Drive or the 2016 M2 which one would you purchase and why ? Thanks.

[@bernard637]

nice channel

[@vacuumunit]

Great Car #Just the right Size..Great review. #Cars are getting too big these days. #bring back regular cars :-)

[@geoffnepo]

Door handle pocket is where all the dirt and garbage collect, don't need them but if you have to have it try Buick

[@carsanddrives1464]

M2 used SMG trans right?

[@DjNikGnashers]

No DCT.

[@burro45]

There’s a great thread on BimmerPost detailing production (and LCI) plans for many BMW models over the next 12 months. Perhaps the most interesting thing it shows is timing for the LCI on various models. Here’s a sampling: The 60Ah i3 ends production early, signifying it is going out of production permanently, leaving just the new 94Ah and 94Ah REx models. The 2017 2 Series and M2 end production in June 2017. This is a firm indication that the LCI will begin production in July of 2017 (as a MY2018) The 2017 4 Series and M4 (and M3) end production in February 2017. Interesting this doesn’t mean there will be an LCI introduced in March. Instead there will be a four month gap in production and the LCI will begin being produced in July 2017 . < p>BTW it’s worth nothing that, while most recent LCIs have been little more than eye candy, there’s good evidence that the M2’s will be legendary.

[@rkalla]

I feel like you shouldn't have given it back and told BMW you lost the press car...

[@dodgehemi5045]

CLA45 more room, better dash but understeers AWD like S5

[@LegendInThaMakin]

The cla45 is no where near as fast as the m2.. plus no manual option, no thanks.

[@NS416]

+LegendInThaMakin and the transmission is terrible on the CLA, also the interior feels cheap.

Asphalt Street Storm Racing: Renamed As The BMW M2 Coupé the M2 Appears In Asphalt Street Storm Racing As a High-End Class C Car

[@Zangetzu33]

is the M2 a real M car ? ''Well, it kill bugs when you shift into Sport+'' Yes it is !

[@34hockeyplayer]

Great review. For long term reviews of the M2 go to Glenns Car Collection, he does many long term reviews and comparisons with his M2

[@chimbatete]

Only manual for a car like this and while we are at it take away the idrive as well.

[@carl9184]

I shut off after he complained about the door handle 🤪!

[@EverydayReviews2022]

It’s true though😜

[@troytruong8246]

Practicality is very important. Sometimes little details can cause big problems.

[@irv.gi.7882]

BMW please improve the interior I am begging you please

[@americanAlienBoy]

Sport+ is, IMHO, useless. You don't actually get extra power, and it's more difficult to modulate the throttle in tight corners. Interestingly, if you turn off all the stability controls as you'd want to on a track, it puts the drivetrain in 'Sport' mode.

[@averageguy7932]

I first noticed that on both of my M235i's. In engaging Launch Control, you end up in Sport rather than Sport +! Seems a little counter intuitive.

[@mavricxx]

I just wish it had a V8!

[@CarswithB]

no need

[@NS416]

no thanks

[@massiveglove2960]

Nah 6cl is what M is all about. Would prefer n/a even with a little less hp though!

[@johnh8546]

Why would you do that. The straight 6 is the king of engine balance and torque per displacement. The V8 only has a place if you are trying to get a lot of displacement into a smaller engine bay. If you are trying to strike a good balance between performance, economy, drivability, and engine smoothness a V8 is the wrong engine.

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@johnh8546 100% Agree. Still, this is a yank review with yanks in the comments, and we all know yanks think a V8 must be better than anything else......

[@Bobitrust95]

Go test it on a bumpy-twisty road...then you will change your mind. The ride become so jittery and unpredictable! It's the real downside of this new M (despite the look wich is personal).

[@amoney11]

It’s a nice call all around, except this Beamer chugs gasoline

[@Moondoggy1941]

:12 Sound pumch

[@melle9510]

this guy

[@maxpov2958]

he drives like grandmother

[@brightenupcc]

N55 engine is run of the mill. The real M car is the M2 Competition with a proper S motor

[@dodgehemi5045]

BMW dash is odd & getting boring and old :(. C63s coupe has style. New S4 S5 looks clean and boring

[@ChrisDorgan]

yea but the BMW's will probably age a bit better, sometimes when you go too modern it can age the cars a hell of a lot quicker.

[@shunsato6621]

It would be more perfect if they make it 4 door sedan...

[@amichaeel]

no!

[@brianabongan2207]

Shun Sato NO!

[@PedroGomez-yl5ie]

Agree I bought 2017 all white. Coupe is the best.

[@0631ix]

It's not a sports car, it's a coupe on steroids. 2 seaters are sports cars (roadsters).
