I ordered this car 2 weeks ago and have been looking for a solid review video. Your video was perfect!! I really appreciate you man, and thank you for bringing up the rattling / squeaking issue. I hate when my car does that so I’m glad this car doesn’t. Great video!!!

[@chrism869]

Glad you've enjoyed it so far, such an amazing car for the money.

[@d3j051]

Excellent review. I had the previous gen 2 series and it was great, now I want this M2.

[@JVette01]

You should get it! It’s awesome

[@almcdaniel1035]

Same here , still have mine though

[@JR007x]

Amazing vid, thank you! PS, officially sub'd to your channel for more great vids.

[@JVette01]

Thank you!

[@thoopra]

Great breakdown. Saw a black one on the highway last night, they look amazing while cruising! Only the second one I’ve ever seen - seems like it has many more creature comforts than the Supra

[@Osha1]

please do more of these ! Also can you try testing you the sound system in the next one? I am in the market for an M2, but I just haven't found one yet to hear the sound system on it

[@JVette01]

I think there are videos on it, but you can’t do justice in video

[@realasscracka]

@@JVette01 will there B a big diff for the 2025

[@user-dg7gn4qk1y]

good drive, still waiting for my 24 order

[@JVette01]

You’re in for a treat!

[@thoopra]

Love that color

[@JVette01]

Thanks! Me too ;)

[@ms3ben]

Great honest review! I'm curious about how the M2 rides over bump and rough roads? I also wonder how well the m2 puts the power down? My experience with a stock 21' M4 comp rwd wasn't great. The ride was very unforgiving, and it blow the tires off everywhere with traction control off. Traction control on would mitigate tire spin, but was very intrusive, pulling all the boost and power, basically no fun. Xdrive the only way to with the m4, unless you're into drift events

[@JVette01]

1. M2 is a firm ride, even in comfort mode, but it’s not ridiculously harsh like a focus rs. 2. Mine puts the power down surprisingly well. Traction control is a little intrusive but even with it off it might slide a little but hook and go.

[@ms3ben]

​@JVette01 Cool, thanks for the reply. The m4 with everything off somehow had worse traction than a hellcat on worn tires and not even on cold roads. I'll be test driving an M2 to see for myself once I actually find a used one to try out. I wouldn't be able properly test drive a new one because, as you know, the s58 has the mandatory specific engine break-in process.

[@WD.909]

Great video. Really interested in the m2 as it better fits into my budget even though the x4m in the sao paulo yellow is my dream car. It’s just a bit too much $. I guess my main concern is the lack of AWD, but a lot of reviewers mention how grippy the m2 is, assuming you’re not being reckless on bad road conditions.

[@JVette01]

If you live in an area that has bad weather and only have 1 car, just save up and get the x4m. However, if not, the M2 is AMAZING!

[@WD.909]

@@JVette01 I live in the south. Where I am at, it rarely snows.

[@JVette01]

Then you’d be just fine with the M2. It gets very good traction for a RWD car and the traction control keeps it in check

[@stanley2412]

I recently got a xhp transimission tune for my M240i, and oh man, what a difference compared to stock (which I originally thought was already awesome enough). Highly recommend XHP.

[@JVette01]

If I tune it in the future, I'll definitely be looking into that!

[@geneg6343]

Nice video. What are your thoughts comparing the M2 to the Mk8 Golf R? My wife has a 2012 Mk6 GTI Autobahn 2-door DSG with the APR Stage 1 we purchased new in October of 2011. She loves the vehicle but we are now looking at replacing it. She is the frugal one of the bunch since my car is 18 BMW M5 purchased new in August of 18 when I transitioned from a 15 BMW M3 F80 also purchased new. I am pushing her towards the M2 but she wants the Golf R and we have been on a list for a year this months for a Golf R at MSRP. Dealers in SOCAL are marking up the Golf R anywhere from 5k - 20k. We still have 3 people in front of us for Mk8 Golf R with the auto transmission.

[@JVette01]

If you’re open to out of state, I know someone that could probably get you a good price and have a couple on the lot. I’ll make a video comparing the golf and m2 so stay tuned!

[@samuelfreericks168]

Wish you could’ve raced ur stang vs the m2 would’ve loved to see it

[@JVette01]

That would’ve been interesting

[@NickRouse-eg5ix]

Hey JVette01. You mentioned you had a mustang.. How is the M2 vs the stang as far as comfort?

[@JVette01]

Mustang has a softer ride and a little more comfortable seats but the space is very similar between both

[@cooksindatrap627]

Just traded in my m340i for a black M2 with carbon package 🥲 so now have 22 golf R and 24 M2 in my lineup 🤝

[@JVette01]

That’s a good lineup! ;)

[@Nivaku988]

Does this include the shadowline package? You think it's worth getting?

[@JVette01]

Yes. I like it but just for the dark headlights. I’d honestly prefer the chrome exhausts

[@innerpeace2898]

Nice review man I also have a golf R and I want an M2 or Supra how do I have both like you hahahahah 😂😂

[@JVette01]

It’s easy, just make a bad decision and boom now you have 2 cars 🤣

[@innerpeace2898]

Hahahah you right lol love the channel man 😁

[@JVette01]

@@innerpeace2898Haha thanks!

[@amei_G80_BmwM3]

I’m not sure if O missed this on the video, but how does the suspension feel on this car? Is it bumpy and gets uncomfortable after a while, and also how are the driving dynamics of the M2, I heard in this video that it handles very well and its torque is high, but will this car fishtail if you put to mich power to it ? Im asking because if I wanted to do a highway pull, what will happen I’m planning on buying an M2 and replacing my G80 M3

[@JVette01]

The traction is very good in this car. Suspension is a little on the rougher side but if you drive it daily you’d probably get used to it

[@amei_G80_BmwM3]

@@JVette01 oh ok thanks

[@wardevil3000]

Just sold my 2020 Supra, I wanted a manual and an S58. Supposedly the “new” GRMN Supra would have this but I don’t wanna pay close to 100k for it. Seems like I’ll be picking up an M2 soon

[@JVette01]

You’ll love it. Check out my video comparing Supra and m2

[@Mertusa]

This new m2 comes with adaptive suspension like standard?

[@JVette01]

Yes

[@ms3ben]

Agreed about the ZF auto being the way to go! I love a good manual, but the manual in this car and many other modern cars leave a lot to be desired. There is nothing fun about rev-hang either.

[@JVette01]

Exactly!

[@chrisginoc]

Manual limits you building or tuning meaning you have to replace the clutch early on. Automatic allows you to go up and not tune the transmission as quickly

[@piskomarcel9371]

I gotta ask what do you do for living? this is my dream car icl

[@filoniz]

Nice car, but how do you feel about the car not being that much faster than Z4 m40i?

[@JVette01]

Actually that’s not accurate at all. This car blows those cars away. Check my channel

[@filoniz]

@@JVette01 It is tuned? I think Car and Driver say Z4 has better lapped time in Nurburgring and the 0-60 is two-tenth of a second faster for M2. I will check it out.

[@JVette01]

Well, if you’re talking about a track, then sure there’s several factors. As far as straight line speed though, m2 beats both significantly stock for stock

[@griffinfairchild]

Why didnt you get the manual? If only to keep the number of purchased manuals up so BMW continues to make them in the future

[@JVette01]

Because I didn’t want it. I’ll make a video going over my reasoning since I get this question every now and then so stay tuned.

[@griffinfairchild]

@@JVette01No hate on the auto, those ZF boxes can hold some serious power. That red color is sweet.

[@danielmedina5406]

I’m surprised how well it stayed planted during that pull! I want one of these and I’m not the most experienced speed driver so I was a bit worried of the 450+ hp with RWD. Awesome video!

[@JVette01]

It gets amazing reaction on stock power with stock tires

[@danielmedina5406]

@@JVette01 during that round about did you have the traction off? it looked like it was still sticking well!

[@JVette01]

It sticks very well

[@connerotw7438]

M240i is good to with 382+ hp and it’s cheaper

[@naten555]

does the manual have remote start?

[@JVette01]

Nope

[@isrz8740]

Wow, when the DCT was out, everyone was hating it now it's a torque converter you're all loving it. lol!

[@JVette01]

Auto all the way! Haha

[@isrz8740]

I hope you were not the guy who was rear ended (bimmerpost) if so hope you good! @@JVette01

[@QuizzyV]

Which is a shame because the DCT is a better transmission in a performance car.

[@JVette01]

Nope. M2 is safe and sound in the garage haha

[@kok111188]

When the ZF is in full 3/3 speed, it shifts like a DCT. When it's 1/3, it shifts butter smooth. It's the best of both worlds.

[@jodirt2k7]

Are the new M2 reability?

[@JVette01]

They’re terrible. Kidding, it’s only been out for 1 year.. lol. S58 seems to be good though

[@RyguyIQ]

I have a M2 2024, and it drives great but I hate the steering wheel it feels like heavy and hard to turn compared to other steering wheels, also in full sport mode it takes too long to shift gears from going 0-60 in everything sport. But this car handles soooo goood and looks really great. I have standard leather seats and their pretty uncomfortable but that’s my only complaints!

[@JVette01]

Thanks for sharing!

[@RyguyIQ]

@@JVette01when I mean takes too long to shift gears I also mean it doesn’t feel smooth if yk what I mean but what do u think

[@JVette01]

That’s only if the shift setting is in the most aggressive mode. #2 is a good mode if you don’t want it to hold gears too long and shift hard.

[@madvillaintv5072]

I'm torn between this or a RS3

[@JVette01]

Both great options! If you have more than 1 car, M2 100%. If you have 1 car, RS3

[@juanlozada557]

bros not in Mexico 💀

[@JVette01]

Of course I am, mi amigo! :)

[@antikytheramechanism7909]

Don't tell BMW how much you like the transmission algorithm or they will change it. I complained once about the piano black getting dirty and they started using it as exterior lower trim where it gets dirty with every drive.

lol

[@failingup4907]

Save the manual ! There need to be more paint colors and interior choices. Beautiful car tho. This is coming from a C7 Corvette M7 supercharged owner. :)

[@JVette01]

I purposely avoided the manual

[@failingup4907]

@@JVette01 Why?

[@JVette01]

I’m not interested in it. The auto is so good in this car it would be foolish not to get it. Along with the several other benefits of going with an automatic. I also race this car pretty often and manual is too inconsistent and doesn’t make sense.

[@failingup4907]

@@JVette01 No, it's a generation thing. Young guys like you are killing the manual to be a tenth of a second faster. Pressing on a gas pedal takes no skill, and it isn't fun. I have a Hemi in my Jeep Grand Cherokee for that, my sports cars aren't going to be an auto. Otherwise, I'd have a C8 Corvette right now. But if you enjoy the auto, that's great! But young guys are killing the manual sales. And a lot of younger guys don't get taught how to drive a manual. No one looks in my Vette too see if it's an auto. They want to see if it's a stick.

[@JVette01]

It’s because people that prefer automatics don’t care if you buy a manual but manual fanatics are always concerned with someone’s transmission choice. I appreciate manuals but I’m just not interested in modern cars. Pre 2015, sure.
