Quick answer - No, not too heavy to be fun! Don’t believe me, get off the interwebs and go take a BMW 2-Day M School at a Performance Center. Guaranteed you’ll walk away very impressed with this one, the M3/M4 and the M5. They are all ridiculously fun and capable. Is this, better looking or more fun than XXXXX, well, you decide and buy what you want.

Weight with new m cars has nothing to do with being fun or being fast around the corner. They are good. But doing it for a long period of time is a different story. Brake parts and tyre running cost (especially they are btoo big and wide but here you go traction) will be in the air running it for it’s purpose for years.

I still don't understand for sure why M2 is almost exactly the same weight as the M3. Like it physically doesn't make any sense. I had this question with my friends when the M240i xdrive was announced, and I still have this question up to this day. Our conclusion is, BMW must have put ballast in those 2 series per the car manufacturer BOP agreement to offset their class leading engine power.

Charging speed IS a dealbreaker. There’s no way 100kW is good enough for a road trip, you’d spend too long stranded at charging stops. A speed of at least 200 kW and a range of 300 miles plus is the bare minimum now for luxury saloons and SUV/crossovers. Jaguar could compete (just) with those numbers 5 years ago but not now, this car needs to be put out to grass.

@@MrOriol24 What ? The M2 isn't playing in the same class as the GR86/BRZ and MX-5 loll those two are half the price, half the size, half the power, half the speed etc... Of course a small N/A 4 cylinder engine sports coupe with a fabric roof will be less heavy than an M2 lol ! M2 is 152mm wider, 173mm taller, 665mm longer and 437mm longer wheelbase compared to the MX-5. We gotta stop panicking on the weight stuff. The M2 has the same powertrain, drivetrain, interior, safety feature and tech as the M3/M4 but for a lower price and shorter wheelbase... It will outdrag all the cars in it's class (even the dark horse mustang with all the upgrade packages) (lots of videos out there). It does similar lap times than a supra around a track, and will look and feel classy if you need to drive to an important business meetings or bring a customer to lunch.. It really depends on what you need and what car will meet your requirements. Supra is a terrible daily driver in which I wouldn't drive customers around for lunch time. M2 is simply better at it while still being competitive on track. But if I would only need a fun car for the weekend and trackdays, I'd buy the Supra any day that's for sure,.

@user-eb7lv3nz4m The Cayman had sharper steering and Yes its mid engine gave it great balance, however the M2 has well over 120 more hp and also has near 50/50 weight balance . It's faster, more comfortable, way more tech, braking is about the same. As for looks., the M2 Ilooks aggressive and mean. The Cayman was curvy and sexy. So even though I loved my Cayman, the M2 is simply more aggressive. A German Muscle car. Also the S58 engine has way more potential than the flat 6 . The Cayman only wins by handling. And barely.

Worth replying to someone who has owned both M2 and Cayman. To many keyboard warriors who have driven neither to validate their points. The 981 Cayman is old tech in comparison to the new M2 although the incredible chassis and flat 6 engine mask this very well and anyone jumping into one and having a blast through Snowdonia or Peak district would not be disappointed. On the type of track Rory is testing this M2 on the extra weight would make little difference given the power,suspension and tyres the M2 has. I bought the 4.0 GTS Cayman 6 months ago and having driven the M2 also can say both are outstanding drivers cars with slightly different strengths. M2 is a more in your face instrument with great power on tap instantly and chassis that masks the 1700kg weight very well. The Cayman has a free revving power delivery that really shines above 4k. I chose PDK above manual as it really is the best gearbox around and makes the most of the engine characteristics.The chassis remains sublime. Having put 2k miles on spirited Sunday road trips and Porsche track day can honestly say it is best small sports car out there,. If the Alpine had more 50-75hp more power then the gap would be closer as that has great driving dynamics and 300kg less weight. The M2 is probably the last of the small ice M cars and having option of manual box to be celebrated despite the subjective looks, although personally think it's aggressive stance is well suited to the overall package. Enjoy yours Scotty

Another previous Cayman S owner here with a 2023 M2 now in the driveway. Both are brilliant cars, and I have learned to enjoy the different dynamics of driving they have to offer. I for one will never complain about having first world problems😉😉 Aloha nui all

@@Bayliss21 I used to be a BMW fan, but as they've become more focused on luxury accoutrements than performance they've lost me as a potential customer. Oh, their 6-cyl engines are still powerful, but the cars are too large, heavy and expensive, plus their recent designs are polarizing (I don't like them. At all). To your point about your M2 driving better than any car you've owned, I'd say you haven't owned an Alfa Romeo Giulia.

@@SuperMegaWoofer3000 And the BMW cluster still looks weird, with its counter-rotating gauges and rod-like prop rods holding it up, plus it's missing needed buttons for oft-used controls (like HVAC). BMW still makes powerful engines, but their exteriors and interiors are far off the mark these days.

I had a 2020 M2C and now the 2023 M2. I loved them both but my heart is mostly with the new M2. What I get a kick out of are the fan boys dissing the looks of the new M2. I have had many people come up to me in gas stations and parking lots telling me how much they love the car. I just smile when I see the social media comments. 🤣🤣🤣

Coming from my X4m40i, it feels light lol. I went with the 6MT. I do not track the car, as much as I want to. There is just no where to go where I live. I also lease. The 6MT makes no sense for the track and is absolutely slower on the street as well. However, it is such different experience. I have not driven manuals my whole life, so when I get in it everyday , there is like a sense of occasion. It is very satisfying nailing shifts and mastering the gearbox. Even though it is not the greatest gearbox in the world. I think both are fantastic options, it's just a matter of what you are looking to get out of the car. It's really nice to have the option

Hi mate I tracked mine manual around Phillip island gp circuit it was fantastic manual was ace and I loved every lap I did. Cars a weapon and fast as any guy can drive. So for those who don’t like driving enjoy your Tesla. M2 is unreal and looks tough especially after adding accessories to them.

Even heavy cars can be fun on a track, especially on a wet one with no other cars so you can drift to your heart's content. Let me know if such scenario applies to any of us here. The weight wears its ugly head on normal street driving and canyon carving. A bit of selective journalism here...
