[@kylenewberry8598]

M2 vs Supra vid ;)

[@lourenco121]

​@@kylenewberry8598 One shouldn't really compare a 2019 M2 Comp DCT $61,800 to a 2020 Supra Auto $49,990 since there is a noticeable price difference. The Supra exhaust note sounds good while the m2 is just ok. M2 has more top end, but the Supra is smaller and weighs much less. I will take a Supra over the M2 and I own a 2016 M3 since I want a smaller car. M2 comp also could have a spun crank hub failure when modded with an e85 tune like any other s55 engine. Supra should make 400whp with stage 2 tune while the M2 Comp with stage 1 will make 464whp and 494wtq. I still would buy the Supra even with the less hp potential since it should be more fun and more reliable.

Absolutely livable back seats and useable trunk and its a dream for a daily driver. I think the M2 CS gets all the hype because they not only gave it the looks but they also uncorked the motor and gave it the power the M2C should have received.

[@steveadp]

I own one with the Manual, and Ive tracked it several times on several tracks. If you leave the MDM mode ON, the diff does a great job of keeping it straight and not oversteer as you mentioned. You have to be a little patient with the gas. I noticed in the video you are get on the gas early in the turn. I find trail braking and going to gas later is how the car wants to be driven. I came from tracking a 911, and I think this car is a perfect balance for street and track. With Michelin Cup 2's, I think it will be that much better. I have made no modifications, all stock set up. I love how BMW tuned the torque. Its very linear in its delivery. I think its a great all around package, albeit its a heavy car at 3600 lbs. Oh and the tiny gas tank means Im always filling it up.

Do you happen to know how the M2 Competition compares to the previous gen M2 for handling?

[@steveadp]

@@teddybburns I have more experience with M2C but have driven the OGM2 and I would say besides the engine, the handling is better in all aspects. I 've heard it uses all the same hardware but the tuning is very different. Less body roll, and better dampening on the road. The M2 Comp can be tracked with no mods, may need to change brake fluid and eventually pads depending how often you track. Never tracked OGM2 but depending on your skill level not sure how much you notice. Im certain a more experienced driver could beat times of M2C in a OGM2. If the money doesn't matter go M2C.

[@Jlaw01]

@@wthisdaftpunk6847 that's such a hard question... I have drove both, the 2 series is literally a smaller version of a 3 series. First of all they are much different generations. I hate the sound of the s55 in the m2 comp and the s65 is a high revving v8, enough said in that regard. Its faster, smaller, more fun around turns, looks better in my opinion, is much more reliable, has that daily driving factor even though its smaller, its everything you could want in a sports car. However, its simply missing that v8 feel. The M2 is simply a better car in almost every way possible mechanically, would I still get one over an e92m3, I don't know. If you want to beat on it, have fun without worry, daily drive it, get this. If you want a car that puts a smile on everyones face based off the sound alone, get the m3. If you held a gun to my head, I couldn't tell you which I would rather have. Sound means so much to be when it comes to cars, and the s55 just is not it, its better in almost every single way so I will ask you this, how much does sound mean to you? How much does that raw emotional connection with your car mean to you?

[@GlennsCarCollection]

I had my 6 speed manual M2 for 3 years, great car. I ordered one of the first M2 Comps built and it arrived at my dealer in August of 2018. Unfortunately the trade in value of my 2016 M2 dropped to $35k, the new M2 Comp with a 6 speed manual was $61k before tax, $65k with tax. Is the M2 Comp better, yes of course, but it wasn’t worth my car plus $30k to me, so I kept my M2. A used M2 is a bargain with prices in the $35-40k price range for 2016 models. Both are great cars, you can’t go wrong with either.

[@TheNondiscriminatory]

Well sure. One should buy a car with the intention of keeping it- of owning it at least. The resale value should be the very very last thing on your mind, with driving the piss out of it (and how that makes you feel) being the first.

[@rembo183]

Glenns Car Collection Ok you got a trade in value of $35k what could you get in private sale? I think retail would be higher depending on miles and condition? Low mileage ones are selling in $40’s at dealership. Of course they jack up prices from the trade offer to make profits.

[@rembo183]

You won't find that on even a $40,000 car. It's not the same interior as a $60,000 Lexus (and of course no Lexus drives as sporty), but no way it's a $20k interior.

Found it really informative hearing your thoughts on how the M2 Competition compares with the new Supra Mark. If Toyota provides you a Supra to do a longer in-depth review on, hope to hear your thoughts comparing the M2C again if you have some updated impressions. I guess the M2C's 'twichyness' or habit to oversteer compared to the new Supra could be to do with its narrower tyres front+rear. I wonder if the differential used in the Supra is identical to the one used in this M2C but programmed differently? Would BMW be generous enough to provide this S55 engine (or the S58 engine featured in the brand new X3M) to Toyota for their GRMN Supra version or whatever it'll be called..as that Supra has a shorter wheelbase than the 2011 BMW 1M coupe and the 86/BRZ, we could be looking at a deathtrap. Can't wait to see how the upcoming lightweight limited edition M2 CS/CSL will turn out.

[@lourenco121]

If BMW offers a BMW Z4 M version with a S58, I do see the Toyota Supra being offered with the S58 in that case. I don't see Toyota offering a Supra with a S58 without BMW stepping up first with a M version of the Z4. You also need to consider the price difference for the S58 powered Supra could be $16k more for the end customer since it's not just the engine being changed. You have to add bigger brakes, improve cooling, DCT trans, wider wheels, wider tires, improved suspension tuning to keep the balance and cooling needed with the increased power. The much higher price point will make it harder to sell, but it will be an unique small fun fast car.

[@oscarxms]

@@lourenco121 on paper, the Supra is faster 0-60 than the M2 competition. The Supra is a compelling package at a slightly better price tag, regardless of the M-Badge on this car. Comparisons to the Supra will be inevitable once the Supra gets in the hands of the press, after it is released to the public. It will be interesting to see, if Toyota can make a better BMW than BMW.

[@tomjones5166]

@@oscarxms The new supra is already the better BMW for me compared the Z4 since it's not a convertible and it's around $13k less compared to the z4. If you look at Cayman vs Boxster, you see there is small price difference of ~$2100 while the z4 vs supra has a big price gap. Toyota Supra already won compared to the Z4 if you don't want a convertible and don't need the bmw badge. I personally wouldn't buy a m2 over the supra since the m2 is a heavier car and bigger car with two extra seats that I don't need. While m2 is more practical, I like the Supra more since it's an affordable Cayman or affordable Z4 coupe.

[@lourenco121]

@@oscarxms I agree the new supra is exciting since it's a smaller sports car with great potential. I find there is more to a car in just hp and 0-60 numbers. I test drove the new BMW M2C and I decided it wasn't the car for me. Everyone has different tastes or wants in a cars. Reviews and comparisons are nice, but I find that I have to actually drive the car my self to get the real picture on how it feels to me. I found I liked the M3 over the M2 comp since I like the heavier steering effort found in the m3. M3 also felt more raw power wise. I am considering the Supra now since it's smaller car compared to the bmw m2/m3.

[@smilepermile888]

@@lourenco121 Yes no doubt, we'll see a Z4M Roadster if the Supra GRMN comes into fruition with the S58 engine, to probably be more competitive to the 718 Spyder and 718 Cayman GT4s. Granted the S58 may have more power+torque but those Porsches will still be quicker around corners so it could be a close comparison. And yes Tetsuya Tada enginner of the Supra+86 said that by adding power to the engine, it'll have an affect on the overall balance of the car, so you'll have to make changes to the rest of the car to compensate the increased acceleration +top speed performance. Aside from Toyota's collaboration with BMW, many stuck-up haters/trolls of the new Supra (including superspeedersrob who hasn't even driven the car yet) criticised its 'lack of power' (despite Car&Driver +MotorTrend quoting that the B58 is underrated on their dynos) and mentioned that they would be willing to spend more for 'better' performance. So maybe there could be enough demand for it, or they could actually be 12yr olds who jerk off to 2JZ Supras and Fast&Furious franchise who can't afford a cheap car.

And it's killing me on long drives. Maybe it's just a matter of different body types?

[@savagegeese]

@@christopheranderson6931 its definately a body type issue. I have been in a few cars where seats felt offset but this car felt normal.

[@sweens.e36.f87]

I couldn't notice it when sitting in an M2. I was well aware of the angled seat before sitting in it too.

[@Grizzly1644]

@@savagegeese Personally I feel seating positions in a lot of modern cars is terrible. Currently being in the market for a vehicle, I have recently sat in everything under the sun. I personally found the BMW's had terrible and noticeable seat to steering wheel offset. Cars like the VW golf GTI and R also have offset but try and correct it by pointing the front of the seat towards steering wheel centre. This means your body is slightly rotated. The Civic Type R was one of the better ones. Maybe a video in it.

BMW is brilliant, Let's stretch out our product line and move them all into a higher cost bracket with performance versions. It's literally the same fucking car, with a waft of nostalgia. Brilliant.

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

their biggest joke is the 8 series, it's just a 5 series with different looks but in a completely different price range and everyone compares it to the S-class just because they gave it a higher number...

[@TomHiel]

Mgoblagulkablong completely false information. The 8 series has nothing to de with the 5 series. It's also standing on its own platform. It's a stand alone model. 7 years ago, the 6 series was indeed a 5 series. Next year the new 9 series will compete with Maybach. I cannot understand your issue with price setting. Who cares about the price when you can pay 200.000 to 250.000€ for a car. 🤷‍♂️ You are definitely not a costumer in this price range. Otherwise you should not care about that. 😏 So just enjoy watch these beauties on the road. 😉

@@TomHiel Obviously you have no idea what you're talking about. Price is paramount, anyone who says this doesn't know how people of means keep their money. Also, these ever creeping price increases down the range cause the lower tier vehicles to also creep up in price.

1. BowelMovementW doesn't make a performance car. They make sport luxury cars. 2. If you want to see what snorting a pound of cocaine does to car prices, look no further than the Nissan GT-Darrr. Once a performance bargain at $67k, it is now $120k, and best of all, Car & Driver proved that there is ZERO performance gain between a 2012 GT-Darrr and the 2017 GT-Darrr Track Edition. So Nissan was jacking the price through the roof while giving nothing in return. Lol. Clearly the d-bags at Nissan are still furious about Nagasaki and Hiroshima and this is their way of giving the US the middle finger

One of the best comprehensive reviews I'm seen of the M2 Comp. Thanks for the upload.

[@ctsean]

Just for the record, the suspension in the M2C is exactly the same as the M2. Same shocks, same struts, same springs, same control arms (all with same part #s).

[@JBoulter11]

Alright Mr Goose, you have driven the M2 and the M2 comp. You mentioned the technical differences between the vehicles, but I do have a few questions for you. From the driver's seat, though, was the difference between the two striking? Was there a significant difference in behavior or power availability? Bottom line: pretend you're an M2 owner, would you consider upgrading?

[@IM_Arcades]

There are a lot of reasons why, quite a few M owners on Bimmerpost are upset we are losing the M-DCT in the G80/G82. From what we known, they are keeping the 6MT but the G-chassis M3/M4 will lose the M-DCT in place of a ZF8 because of the AWD. I love my F80 and BMW M's in general but I despise having a ZF8 in the M3/M4. It doesn't feel right. There was no emotion in the gears when I drove the F90 M5 and I'm afraid the G80/G82 will be the same. The M-DCT is a special tranny, I'm sad we are losing it. I will definitely be driving the X3M and X4M, which will be a extremely good indicator of how the next M3 and M4 will be.

[@basithph8958]

Sadly the M2 is probably one of the only real driving machines from BMW

[@TasteMyStinkholeAndLikeIt]

Even more sad is how BowelMovementW refuses to even try making a car that can compete with a ZL1 or GT350 on a track. The 650 hp ZL1 will decimate this crapwagon.

The M240i with its B58 may be as good as the first M2 with the N55. But M2 and M2 Competition are dynamically superior and the Competition is the best at the top end.

[@aussie2uGA]

BMW hasn’t been known for the typical “hooligan” drift style car. It’s interesting they’ve allowed inherent oversteer in this. It’s probably going to develop a cult style following because of it, plus it’s one of the cheapest M’s to acquire.

[@tcroft2165]

Inherent oversteer should be good for spares sales ;-)

[@wallybal1297]

I don't know if you'll read this, but I saw that you have a driving rig and you might be interested. You should check out a game called Automation. It's like an in-depth car + engine designer, where you design a car, make compromises to keep costs down, etc., and you can export the cars and drive them in another game. I'd love to see a livestream of you going through a build, and I think it would be a good jump-off point for describing a lot about how cars/engines work.

[@TedwardDrives]

Constant throttle oversteer really ruins the experience. The Z4 felt so planted in comparison.

[@akkando]

What about some wider tires? Only has 265 in rear.

[@TedwardDrives]

@@akkando It would certainly help, and like the goose said, a 200 treadwear tire would reduce this behavior, but that's just not what I'd want in a DD/Track Day car. It really feels like a tuner car in regards to power/torque delivery.
