I've heard the steering is quite numb like the m3/m4 f80s, is that true? Cause the smaller size is appealing but I didnt like the steering on the m3/m4/comps I've been in. Havent driven a m2 yet though

great video, for the european market it might be worth noting that the s55 m2 is very quiet in comparison to the n55 m2 due to the new particle filter needed pass regulations. one of the main reasons i went with the n55 model

Cost incurred so far uk … failed mot £55 on cut in front tyre made an excuse to put ps4s on the fronts £440, major bmw service £650, now when the tyres was changed kwikfit ( cheaper and had the tyres I wanted ) found my tracking to be out slightly and the camber on the front left, they can’t do camber but since I just had a major service I thought wonder if they do it on the service they don’t, but will check it for £160 and then repair for an extra £160 😂, kwikfit checked for free and wanted £111 for the fix, they don’t call them stealerships for nothing, tax is £490, alloy refurb was £250 for 2, lorry decided to cut the corner as I was coming round I didn’t want a head on I chose the kerb bloody foreign driver but you can’t tell so it all worked out in the end, the front I got ppf on £1800 if your into washing your car and keeping it nice I recommend it , every time I took it out I got another stone chip and it was really pissing me off

Good stuff! I picked up my OG M2 last Aug after trading my 981 CS in for it 😁 do you ever have an issue with rough takeoffs from 1st gear after the car is fully warmed up and driven hard? Mine seems to shudder and shake like i can't get it to engage smoothly 🤷
@skrrtgarage39222 жыл бұрын
The car wasn’t very predictable on first gear takes offs. Sometimes it is smooth, other times a little more jerky. I think it’s because the m2 makes so much torque that if you rev it up a little extra tries to put all the power down

Looking at a 2017 BMW M2. It has the M performance exhaust, and it’s only 17,000 km. However, the bottom of the vehicle is quite scratched up. The car fax report shows the previous owner did a ton of tire swaps each year. Anything else I should look at carefully?
@skudnu54622 жыл бұрын
sounds like a lot of track use or drifting. the n55 can take quiet a beating but I personally would stay away from drift/track cars. you can multiply the mileage by 10 if the car is driven on track exclusively compared to normal street driving

@@mattlau The thing is with BMWs, if they break it's going to be expensive, especially M. I would not risk it if I was you. I'd advise you to keep on looking even though the prices seem to be increasing. But trust me, once you find one in good condition you can love it unconditionally and not worry about something going bad
