i've had mine for 3 months now - the trunk not lifting on the push of a button doesn't bother me; I have figured out an easy way to grab the seatbelt (you basically use your left hand to reach the belt lower down and pull it) so that makes it easy, I ordered the sunroof - I love a sunroof - I got the sapphire black metallic so figured wouldn't really notice the carbon roof on it anyway. I'm not that into tech, I buy a sportscar more for the driving experience, not to play with tech, so most of the time i don't actually use any of the tech. A gripe I have is I don't like the "bargraph" tach and speedometer - wished they made it analog looking. but my biggest gripe with the car, me being more of a driving enthusiast who values agility, steering feel, feedback above all else, is that the car is DULL to drive - sure it's fast and holds the road well, but it's numb and dead - this is all related to the massive weight of this small car, and the lifeless steering (it really needed to be 200-300 lbs lighter). Unfortunately I could not test drive one before I bought it because where I live in canada ( a small city) they have no demo models, so you order and spec your car and I waited 6 months for delivery. I've had several previous BMW's from e30's, e36's and e90's including an M3, and they were all "driver's cars". after my BMW's I got an E class Merc because I needed a bigger car and that was a great car, surprisingly fast and solid, but not a driver's car, then I got a civic type r and that was fantastic, so then I decided to get the new M2 because I wanted another M car and lots of power. Well, sorry to say, I'm disappointed. I'm now looking to sell it after 3 month's ownership, I find I have little desire to drive it. You couldn't keep me away from my type r, but I only use the M2 now if I have to - a lot of the time it's just sitting in the garage. I also have a s1000rr, so for my driving thrills I take out the motorbike.

I had a 22 G42 for exactly 1 year,and sold it!She wasn’t a drivers car to me, yeah fast but just not engaging enough! I have a built 16 Subaru STi that’s a blast to drive,Now that’s a drivers car .I have a deposit on a new M2 but I haven’t been able to drive one! If it drives numb like the M240i, I might have second thoughts on buying it ! Thanks!

Thank you for talking about the cons/gripes. A lot of people on youtube just make it seem like their new car is the greatest thing since sliced bread when the truth is no car is absolutely perfect. It's crazy bmw cut some corners you mentioned because they are already making more money from the sales of the G87 since it's made in mexico versus in austria or europe having to get shipped to the U.S.and costing more overall to assemble across the Atlantic. Nonetheless, you have a beast of a car there man. Enjoy

Of course, an automatic tailgate is great, a belt enricher, more cameras, assistance systems and maybe springs with which you can drive over pensioners who have fallen over without noticing anything and put it on hard if necessary...., but you have the S58 with a small wheelbase and wide wheels, it is and will be the best car in this size for a long time! Did you know that your engine is used identically in the GT3 and GT4 racing cars? You've got something very special there buddy! Greetings from Hamburg Germany

I love the squared off chiselled look on the front of these things...They look great. Cars are so individual, as evidenced by how polarizing the looks of this thing seems to be for people. I don't understand where the controversy is personally. This thing looks great, certainly better than the m4. If I had to pick one area, it would be the back...But even that I don't mind all that much... Congrats on your car. Like the colour.

@@mrduke2471 As you should. This car is really a great value compared to what’s out there these days if you ask me. The manual option is a draw too. I would probably spec it just like you have here. I’m currently waiting on a 2024 F-type R myself. I wish there had been a manual option. That’s the only thing I’m not happy with. Other than this, the F-type has always been on my list of cars of interest. Well, and the colour options. Jaguar really paired the colours down as part of their streamlining. Not many good options really. Congrats again. Great choice. All the best from Canada.
