I feel like this channel is way under-rated. Probably the most down to earth and most entertaining/informative car reviewer online imo.

[@andrewndlovu7353]

True

[@jackh4787]

"Because of noise restrictions and all that nonsense." That is why I love this channel.

[@sidharthsathian]

The most comprehensive & entertaining review of the new M2 so far. Fantastic !

[@carbonm2]

First video I seen showing what these settings really do. Thank you

[@anthonybrazzale7251]

Saw this for the first time in the flesh today. Didn’t expect to like it but I like it very much. Currently have a BMW and seriously thinking about this car now.

[@chaneymcfarlane3690]

Just bought one.. love it

[@ronaldov09]

Notice how Paul completely avoided giving us his opinion on the front styling...just mentions the colour lol

[@am1296]

Go with black. Hides everything, looks mean

[@seadoomania]

Ugly looking thing

[@oggyoggy1299]

What’s funny about that?

@@oggyoggy1299Its his way of telling us he thinks it looks like absolute s#!t.

Best M2 review… along with Chris Harris

[@gavinsloma]

Wow a firmness measurement tool… that itched my autism and immediately resulted in a subscribing. Keep up the good work.

[@EmmaGildersleeves]

I have recently brought a 2023 in this baby blue colour and everybody love it it gets a lot of attention and thumbs up I love mine

[@karlrushton8514]

Yep have ordered and soon to be delivered m2 in Toronto red with carbon pack and manual. Also have a heap of carbon parts to add from the uk. Front splitter, rear defuser, carbon steering wheel with info panel etc I think it looks much better in the flesh and let’s face it in 5 years we will all miss these types of cars.

[@保安大队长待富版]

Such a nice car. Really Wish I will be able to get one in 2 years.

great drifting skills Paul

[@egreenmiii]

Great review, I can’t wait to get one

[@samy4288]

This is the most stunning car I've ever seen... price wise its in a different planet 😮

[@edjohn4590]

What happened to the front end??😆😆

[@dw1508]

great review looks like a fun car

[@johnrb9397]

No need to apologise mate great vid as always. Btw donut feature only on private roads 😅😅

[@atnit86]

Hey Paul, is there a way you can objectively assess a car’s audio system? Could you build this into your reviews?

[@jduarte1506]

This is amazing

[@chrisbryant2283]

How are you finding the manual transmition with the carbon bucket seats?

[@RockGarden8888]

Alfa Gulia Quad for mine . Sadly I don’t fit in it if it has a sunroof

[@singhr11]

Hey Paul, can’t wait to see what you think about an M240i…and how you prefer it to a M2, M340i and Supra you owned 😊

[@acquiredtargett6015]

What's it like driving it around the city?

[@fhclappen8595]

Nice one Paul. Not a fan of BMW, but the handeling tricks reminds me of my 69 302 Boss Stang. Not as controlled as this, but just more stupid awsome rawness, with no nannies. Have give any thought on a Moo/Roo test. 😊😊

[@G63_XL]

@carexpert guys please try reviewing these cars earlier or maybe same time as other people on KZbin cause some of us love this channel more than others and having to see some cars elsewhere before here sucks!

[@CarExpertAus]

There’s not much we can do about it. BMW sets when we can publish a video in their cars. We drive this and the M3 Touring a couple of months ago.

[@G63_XL]

​@@CarExpertAusokay no problem. 👍

[@BrunoRatedR]

What’s the average ownership of M2? Like reliability wise and maintenance costs?

[@EzaleyFredericSauhi]

II’m enjoying that you are using h the rotary dial to make the adjustments while driving aggressively. @paul, would have rather done that using the touch screen in that same situation please?

[@jasonsexton5017]

Great Paul. Nice drive train, looks a bit bangled & 300kgs heavier than the previous F87?! Thats heavier than a manual VF SS Series 2 - all those advances i guess...

[@wheelwrightpl9429]

I didn't know Seth MacFarlane is also a car reviewer!

[@Cars_with_max]

This and the Porsche cayman GTS manual are one of the best manual cars available

[@davidog4]

the G87 is faster

[@TheStigHCE09]

One of the best available with a manual or one of the best manual gearboxes? It certainly isn't the latter.

[@Cars_with_max]

@@TheStigHCE09 one of the best available

[@TheStigHCE09]

@@Cars_with_max ...that doesn't answer my question at all.

[@nigelandrews7415]

I have got a black one on the way, and it's automatic

[@goodthiefphoto]

Such a shame they're killing the exhausts on the new cars. Recently drove the previous M2 Competition - now that's a proper exhaust note.

[@Krasshirsch]

Na, the Competition is already muffled to death, the original F87 sounds the best of them all.

[@minh427]

gday Paul!

[@CertifiedSlamboy]

I love how it looks. I guess I’m in the minority but I can’t see why people don’t like it.

[@davidog4]

I have actually seen it. Its MEAN looking not elegant like my E92 M3. About the same size but wider.

[@CertifiedSlamboy]

@@davidog4 Yeah i've seen it too. I'm into it.

[@Malc664]

Awesome car in every way. Not my colour either.

[@JasonK-j4d]

Thanks for the review. Great car and really grows on you. I prefer over previous model. Auto the pick though...

[@danieldebono7116]

It seems unanimous amongst professional car reviewers, the manual transmission is not the best pick.

[@mvnorsel6354]

Test drive them both then decide.

[@edjohn4590]

Looks like one of those home made rip offs!🤣🤣

[@mabuleonkars9706]

They have the manual because you guys are force feeding us it, autoboxes are just way better now

[@Philbyyyy]

But not as engaging

[@mvnorsel6354]

Put your deposit on the auto and drive away happy.

[@thumuladinuk5556]

Please do a review of the new Range Rover Sport been a while

[@davidmatthews5563]

Is it ever not wet when you do a car review

[@Cars_with_max]

Because its in the middle of winter in Australia where they are

[@williamporter7495]

Not sure of my favourite part of this car. Is it the Honda civic type r esque rear bumper treatment, or that lovely Hyundai n blue?

[@Malcom2345]

Toms distorted reality theories, but heres the thing, there pretty good.

[@stephenwalls3979]

New Nissan 400zx comes in manual and so does the supra now

[@MBC1988.]

For 80k I don't like the sound of that door closing 😁

[@JJ-gl3qr]

When is a mg 5 video coming out

[@daineseboy78]

So if that’s a new car why does the date code on those Michelins read 2021. That’s odd

[@rsoul7282]

If it’s a press car it’s quite likely that someone has already slain the tyres and had to have them replaced, these ones might be older stock? Just a theory.

[@daineseboy78]

@@rsoul7282 maybe but two year old tyres still around in stock hmmmm.

Id kill for the m3 to have this grille . I’m not a coupe guy. I have two choices black wing or m3 for a manual . Sometimes you have to settle boys . Not all women are 10s .

[@DigitalCubeX]

The bumper made the car look like a toy car you buy at BigW

[@robmotown1]

So good that there is no electric motor assist.

[@saml2879]

I was thinking of the m240i but now looking at the m2 which look like an angry baby bull as m240i look like a shy cow.

[@behindthebuild8016]

Great advertisement for xdrive…. Base slow WRX leave you for dead in damp conditions

[@jdmderick]

Thumbs up for Paul's skills👍👍👍, but the M2 looks like a cooked MG....🤣

[@maggiepie8810]

I can think of another pure sports car that comes in a manual version, the Toyota Supra.

[@mayormsuthu1465]

N M sport car is only best with automatic transmission.

amazing machine, but i still don't like the exterior styling at all

[@Mark-jz5ye]

Nissan Z, MX5, mustang....

[@OldManMick]

Very, very capable! But with this new model, suddenly also VERY ugly! Tis unfortunate, but I guess at least the rest of the formula remains excellent.

[@tonybennett638]

Reckon you have to review for the 01%'s mate..🤪

[@seadoomania]

An ugly screen cluster and no hard buttons

[@Philbyyyy]

They really butchered the looks

[@hotwings9382]

3rd

[@deepwaterled]

The design is ugly as hell, I miss the OG M3's they just always had a pleasing body style, BMW big wigs must be doing drugs to do this to the BMW community.

[@gerrieannandale6726]

First of. It doesn't look like a BMW in the traditional sense. On screen it looks like a fibreglass kit car and it seems as if the line where the good and nose meet doesn't line up or the gap is out.

[@Krasshirsch]

The design is just vile, catastrophically ugly ...not even with 30k off.

[@MrHC1983]

Mate come on......... Help Me CARWOW lol........ No seriously you wanna do big boy cars now........ get out there and warm those tyres up.... And clearly using Launch Control wasn't gunna get it down, you should of manually taken off slowly and tried feeding in the power yourself..... But yes you are fully correct about the drifting and people not understanding how to feather the control and when it suddenly grips...... Nice drift...

[@CertifiedSlamboy]

Rambling nonsense

[@markymark8472]

Wow no cruise control on a $120k car 😮 no thanks BMW
