What It's Like Driving a BMW M2 | 6 Speed Manual

👋 What is it like to drive the BMW M2 with a 6 speed manual transmission? I have always been a fan of the M2 but never drove one with the manual. BMW M2 especially with the Dinan exhaust and manual tranmission is aweseom! I seriously couldn't get enough of the M2. Such a fun car and I will have to add one to the garage at some point! 🏎

👁 About this video : Two years ago when I bought the 2020 Toyota Supra. I was also considering buying a BMW M2 Competition with a manual transmission. Part of me thinks that would have been more fun! So today let's drive the BMW M2 with a manual to see what it's like! This is the original M2 which has the older N55 motor rather then a B58 variant. So it's closer to the Supra power level with a bit less torque. But non the less this was amazing! The Dinan exhaust sounded fantastic on the M2 and this was truly one of the most fun cars I've driven. I loved it! Can't imagine how much better the newer M2 Competition is with the bigger engine! But overall I think you get so much car for the money and I love how you can either have a DCT or stick shift. The handling on the M2 is responsive and the brakes are great! Very well balanced sportscar with practicality. At some point I will need to add an M2 to the garage!

[@turbo_Guido]

I have daily driven a manual for almost 7 years, absolutely love it and have no desire to switch to an auto

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Nice! Manuals are a heck of a lot of fun!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed agreed! Getting into 1st gear is the only tricky part to get used to clutch.

[@IndyAutoVlogger]

Hands down one of the funnest bmws I have driven. Great video, thanks!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Heck yeah! Such a good driving car and really had everything needed to be fun!

[@bandosz3218]

FYI. These types of reviews are much better and more "clickable" for me than the other in-depth reviews you typically do. Edit: like the Lotus Evora review you uploaded recently.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Glad you like this style! We do this more for the used cars we'll film ;)

[@josephcassiba8328]

Test drove an M2 for the first time and felt like you did--thought about taking it home. I was really surprised how good it sounded and fun it was to drive. Mine was a DCT and that made it feel like an exotic with the speed and aggression of the shifts. Just a great enthusiast car. Also, I guess I'm old school, but I think the power higher up in the rev range actually gives it character and rewards you for revving it out, which I look more than all the power in the mid range and does not reward you up top.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah these are awesome cars! Just posted a video comparing the new M2 to my Supra. Such fun cars!

[@zjldmd]

I daily drive a 370 Nismo (manual) & traded an automatic Z06 for a M2C (manual). The BMW doesn’t have the Z06 power, but is my favorite to drive.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Sweet! Yeah the Z06 has real power, but doesn't have that nimble aspect. I was very impressed with what this M2 had to offer. Can't imagine how fun the Comp would be!

[@Meeeks]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed do you know which idrive os that is? Around 10:58 of the video, my idrive main screen looks different (a bit more dated). I have the ‘18 m2 though.

[@Imesswithcars]

It can have Z06 power with just Downpipes and a crank hub

[@ovnilab]

*Hell YES buy one! I have the 2018 M2 F87 LCI (daily driver) and LOVE IT!! I also have the DINAN (pronounced die-nan) exhaust which sends the sounds right over the top! Nice review!*

Nice! These are a ton of fun for sure!

I got into an 2016 m2 last month it was so beautiful inside first time in one even the lady didnt push it hard

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh nice! Always good to find a car with a perfect interior.

[@karolmaciejewski340]

Love M2 especially OG because of sound

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Sweet! These are great cars for sure!

[@marcozuniga1186]

Hope you can try a m2 comp! Want one but I love the sound of the n55 and it is a little lighter than comp

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Maybe one day! I drove two new ones with the DCT. But I can totally see buying an M2 Comp manual one day! Certainly on my list now!

[@umarshakeel7096]

What a coincidence! That’s the car I’ll be trading in for the GTR man. I’ve got a vrsf downpipe, vrsf charge pipe, vrsf intercooler and afe intake, M performance exhaust and last but not least a tuned done by eurocharged Canada. What’s the difference you felt from your GTR man? After owning the car for 3 years, I still enjoy it until this day. You’ll never get tired of it if you decide to tune it. It’s boring without mods and stock exhaust in my opinion. Definitely worth buying man

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh that's awesome! I would assume this car was tuned. But I bet yours is a ton of fun! Such a great car in every aspect! The GTR is a huge step up in power tho. It's scary fast and will eat this for breakfast lol. You will loose the super tight nimble handling. But you'll get a very mechanical DCT in the GTR and more power and modification potential then you can ever need! And all the same practicality. GTR is a great next step up for sure!

[@mileslynch]

Glad BMW never gave up on manuals

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I know! I love this car with the stick shift! Ads so much fun!

I recently swapped my SMG automatic transmission in my M3 to a manual 6 speed and way more fun and responsive!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Nice! Thats a cool conversion to do for those!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed indeed plus increases resale value as manual M3 worth more than SMG so good investment.

[@wackit6756]

This is one of your better reviews. I wish all your reviews were more objective like this one. You and your brother are really good at pointing out the good but there are times when your allegiance is clearly toward the dealer that loaned you the car. All fluff and no realities. I think people who read your reviews want to know the good and the bad. It doesn’t mean you have to beat up the car, just point out things that need changing. Example: I cringe every time you review a Camaro, get in the back seat and have you’re head at a 45 degree angle because of the roof and say that the room is not that bad. Or the ergonomics. Or the quality of the plastics. Or the terrible visibility. Or the fact you have to charge your phone from the back seat. As a consumer, these are the things we want to know. You can still be respectful of the car and get these points across. Good job on this review.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Good points. But keep in mind. The cars we have 0 interest in ever buying, it's hard to point out the bad stuff. Because from our perspective, we don't even want to buy the car. In the Camaro the rear seats are useable. Since I can fit. I show headroom is very bad but it is in fact useable. My phone doesn't even have wireless charging, so that doesn't even cross my mind lol. And visibility is not bad if you know how to adjust mirrors properly. You can eliminate blind spots in every car if you push the side mirrors out farther than normal. So I can make a Camaro have no blind spots whatsoever with the mirrors the right way. Last Camaro vid I did point out the plastic on the dash. We just like keeping it objective on cars we'll never buy. The M2 I would buy, so it's easier to point out negatives. If we pointed out things we didn't like in every car review, honestly we'd get ripped a new one by people. Because every car I drive is actually very slow in my opinion since I'm used to a GTR. And people would probably get annoyed with me complaining how slow every sportscar is. So we leave the negatives up to future buyers since it all depends on what they like and dislike. But I can see adding a few more opinions to reviews to at least compare cars to the competitor cars.

[@wackit6756]

Lol. You are proving my point. You are putting out a product (video reviews) and we pay you, (likes, views). Reviewers are not putting out videos for cars they want to buy, it’s for people who in the future may want to buy one. So when you say YOUR phone or Mirrors adjusted for YOU etc. it’s not about you but the masses of people who may buy. Some of the most popular reviewers are ones with strong opinions. You can’t worry about if they disagree because that’s life. Why put out videos if it’s not to help us? We know the car is pretty, shiny, has nice leather. But we need to hear some caveats too, just to be informed. Otherwise why do videos? Not trying to argue, just constructive criticism. You and you’re brother are very smart informed people.

[@AllenL2R]

In terms of driving, how does the M2 compare to the new base M3 that you test drove a few months back?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Much lighter on its toes and more playful. The M3 is getting more to the serious performance level. It's very solid in the chassis and power delivery. But it lacks that playful feel where you can just throw the car into a turn and play wit the car. M3 would be more fun at higher speeds where the M2 can have a lot of fun in the slower speeds. I's buy the M3 tho if I needed a 4 door car and wanted power like my GTR

[@erayza101]

Hi Mate, just found your video. Great review! I am now in the spot to buy a manual M2 OG or manual M2C. Sound is better in the OG model, but i am still not sure. What would you recommend? Thanks a lot in advance!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh nice! Honestly either are great choices. I like the M2 Comp since it has the updated motor. I also like the new G87 M2 quite a bit! I plan on buying one after my manual Supra. But all are really fun cars and I've had some friends who've owned them and they all say good things!

[@zohanali69]

If i would buy a coupe with a manual this is what i would pick Its a such a great

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah this has a great blend of everything. Can be a luxury car and an awesome sportscar!

[@BrianJohnson-kh7mg]

I have an 18 M2 manual myself and it's a really fun car. Oh by the way, I believe it's pronounced "die-nan"

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah these cars are really fun to drive! I've never heard anyone actually say the Dinan name before. Oh well lol

[@ionutenache6473]

In terms of driving, can you make a quick comparison between the m2 and your supra? Is the Supra more planted in the corners and gives you more feedback and enthusiasm while you drive it? The reason I'm asking this is because I started to think to trade my 2018 M2 manual for a 2020 Limited edition( matt gray color) Supra.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I think the Supra is a bit more nimble i the turns. Mainly since it has a lower center of gravity. But they are pretty similar cars overall to be honest. So you'd probably like the Supra. As long as your ok with going for an auto. I sold my Supra after 2 years. The auto got boring. And just wasn't as fun as the DCT in my GTR. I'm ordering a manual Z to replace the Supra

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed the new manual Supra and upcoming Z manual car look amazing fun! I'd love a Porsche but cost twice as much.

[@shaneh734]

Buy one!!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

One day I will! Maybe 5 years down the road I'll pick up the current newest generation on the used market

[@dougmaverick3287]

Can you please let me know if that car has the sport exhaust option it sounds like it? No question about it my friend you should have bought the M2 with a proper manual transmission. More fun for the driver more engagement and involvement easy choice for me.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I didn’t buy this car lol, I do have a manual Supra and at some point would love a manual M2. Not sure the exhaust setup for this car though. And some people will enjoy an auto, just depends on what they will want.

[@vincenttruong9996]

Would take the non competition or the competition model?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I'd buy the competition just to have the bucket seats, newer car and the newer engine with more power and potential. But it will cost a lot more too

[@vincenttruong9996]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Did you also notice that the gear box especially the 1-2 shifts were not super smooth? or like its hard to execute a smooth quick 1-2 shift

[@evobudbrink]

This Supra has back seats! Lol

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Pretty much! Its a Supra with back seats and a manual!

[@cosmic_gate476]

Bro what do you think between this and the new Z? I have a pre order on the Z blue 6MT performance, will cost 59.5k CAD new, while the 2018 M2 has 23k miles on it and costs 52k and is loaded. What's the better choice for my only car? I'm in my late 20s. My main priorities are performance, driver comfort and tunability. The Z looks better to me but the m2 is obviously the more comfy daily driver, right? I'm also kinda scared of BMW maintenance.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Man that's a tough one! I think given the market, go for the Z. Enjoy the car, and then if you sell it in 1 year, you'll probably sell it for what you paid. Then buy the new M2 or a good used one if you want something else. As a car in general, the M2 is a bit more performance focused and has more hard core aspects. I think the Z is more in line with a normal 2 series coupe with the M sport stuff. The upcoming Nismo Z will be more hardcore like a real M2. Z is a bit soft for my taste, but I'll buy it for some fun and then trade it in for the Nismo

[@cosmic_gate476]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I'm not paying cash for either sadly, though the dealer said he'd pay equity on a lease return. I pre-ordered the Z to reward myself for getting a sick job, but it's just ridiculous with Nissan asking 8.69% lease rate and 7.99% for finance ($13-15,000 implicit finance charge when you do the numbers). On top of that, in Canada you pay 13% tax when you buy a car in any condition, so anything I buy after selling the Z will be taxed making the proposition of selling less favorable. Do you still think it's worth getting the Z for a year? And what if I want to just keep either car for a solid 5+ years?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@cosmic_gate476 I wouldn’t lease if I were you. Just throwing money in the trash. Can’t you finance the car? Then you’ll build equity in it and when it comes time to sell you’ll something to show

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@cosmic_gate476 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqClqZ2ehLtmhMU I made a vid on lease vs finance. Astronomically more money spent leasing. Finance the Z and enjoy it. Then sell it when you’re ready to move on

[@cosmic_gate476]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I can finance it, but even with the lease I really just wanted to keep it after the period, so it wouldn't be throwing money. The leasing was to keep the payments lower and use the saved money elsewhere like investments. What car would have better equity long term the Z or the m2? Cause the m2 is limited in quantity now and known as one of the best m cars, but the Z also has nice heritage and last of its kind. Thanks for the video, gonna watch now.

[@RickStarzz]

How’s your new manual Supra vs the m2 here? Thinking of getting 2017 2018 m2 from gr suprA

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Definitely similar cars! M2 wont handle quite as sharp, but it has the practicality. I'd love to get an M2 after the Supra! Both are such good options!

[@waic1639]

It would be a tough choice between an Audi S3 and the BMW M2, both are nice cars. I like the Audi more though, the AWD, turbocharged engine, and DSG is the better combo.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I think that comes down to if you need the 4 doors and AWD. The transmission in the S3 is great and works well foe what the car is. I've always had that on my list of a good daily to be honest!

[@waic1639]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I have seen someone run a modified and tuned Audi S3 doing low 10s consistently on the quarter mile, you would think the car was completely stock just looking at the exterior and in the engine bay. That car has a dsg gearbox. I am sure someone can also do the same to an M2, haven't seen that in person yet though.

[@TheHunterHofman]

Interesting, I would muuuuch rather get an M2 over an S3. An M2 (also) has a DCT gearbox, RWD, more cylinders, a better sound and more power too. I also think an M2 has more character. The Audi S3 is a really good car though, not hating of course!
