Thank you 🙏🙌😃 The practicality of the g80 M3 makes me lean towards it sometimes. But the M2 is fav so far as it’s so wide looking. It’s such a great feeling seeing your own cars rolling. It’s often not something we get to see in our ownership. I am glad we were able to make these videos 😃🙌

Hi, great video thanks. I agree with you about the steering. When I picked my car up (UK) a couple of weeks ago I was convinced there was a problem with the steering, it was/is far too light and didn't feel at all safe. So glad you have outlined your thoughts on the steering and convinced me that it's not my imagination. However, I'm delighted with my M2 overall and was one of a small minority who actually loved the car from my first on-line view over a year ago. Thanks
@thedevthing
@thedevthing Жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching the video 😃 What you saying the steering being too light can be adjusted by going to M2 mode or changing the steering to sport plus. My feedback is that the steering is not as connected feeling as the Porsche. I don’t feel unsafe with the M2 steering at all 😃🙌
@michaelcox4344
@michaelcox4344 Жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for getting back to me, agreed I should probably have used your analogy of not feeling connected. I haven't played around with any of the other settings yet but of all the other cars I've driven in my 50 odd year driving experience this is the first car I have experienced that gives me the impression of being disconnected with the road but I'm sure I will get used to it. Another thing that has disappointed me is the lack of blind spot warning in the side mirror which although described in the drivers manual isn't an option on my car. I find that surprising given all the other safety features that are included as I would rate the blind spot warning as the most useful. BMW tut tut!@@thedevthing

Super solid video. Have had my G87 for roughly a month now - and thoroughly enjoying it compared to my previous M340i. Way different beast. I am also waiting out on exhaust options for the car - in particular, waiting for AWE's offering to come out. They had a great sounding exhaust for the M340i. As for my personal mods, I've just got yellow DRL's and a carbon spoiler that arrived (yet to be installed) and I am thinking I need a front splitter + springs next to really complete the look of the car. Eventually, I'd love to do a full body kit but that ADRO kit is above my paygrade for now (I'm 27 and live in the Bay Area, it's fucking pricy here!).

🙌😃 the G8X m3/m4 looks great lowered with some nice wheels. It seem like the case with any car stock. Once you mod it, it truly starts to shine. Having such variety or cars is a good thing IMO 😃🙌 What looks amazing in our eyes might be the opposite in another and vice versa 😃🙌

Congrats on you M2. I didn’t want the vent inserts yet. The radiators have protection on manual cars already. The auto does not have radiator protection

@@thedevthingthe transmission cooler protects the radiator in the auto, although now the transmission cooler is exposed🤷🏼‍♂️. You can see it on my channel where I show it up close (delivery day vid). Still no clue why BMW didn’t install some sort of plastic hive pattern protection like they do on some other cars, one can only assume engineering knew what they were doing with air flow needs.

I have a g80comp, and I really like the g87 as well. When I got my g80 it was the same thing. The car was weird and different, but then the aftermarket came along and I was able to personalize it to taste. The same is happening with the g87 and I think the haters will eventually come around. Everyone wants to blindly hate things without trying them. And the new m2 and m3 are just awesome cars. They're just not the same m2 and m3 that mommy used to make. They're different now. Do they suck? Hell no. I don't even want any other car. I think these cars will be highly sought after in the near future...not like they aren't already now. Car looks great!

Nice video. The one thing that ticks me off about BMW with the G87 is why not listen to us owners and futures owners (I have one on order) and just swap out the manual box for the Toyota manual box in the Supra. It's exactly the same transmission a little reworked with Toyota magic and it so much better than BMWs. Also BMW has had now plenty of time to work on their electric steering and yet they are still way behind Porsche's. Why? At the very least they should be closer with road feel. Those two things IMO keep this car from being borderline magical. As it is, it's one of the biggest bargains in the sport/GT car world in a long long time.
