[@farum8669]

Beautiful, glad to see you making the car purr as she should. I recommend taking your car to the track to really get acquainted with the limits of your car. Being able to really push it to its limits without restraint allows you to gain a faster understanding of it than being limited on public roads. Like a gaming laptop being limited to Minecraft when its potential can run Cyberpunk 2077 on high graphics, you wont know until you really try.

The leather on the carbon seats tends to wear really fast. Misha Charoudin (the guy, who's doing laps on the Nürburgring) did a video on the M3 station wagon and it was already noticeable after several thousand miles. What a nice choice. I've never thought you'd really buy a BMW. Perfekt car to show certain aspects of driving! ❤❤

Me neither! But I was 100% set on a manual and there isn't much choice in the car world at the moment. Supra manual was a close 2nd, but that's a BMW too!

those carbon buckets are ridiculously overrated and overpriced. they look cool from the back but the back is not even visible on the M4. and who wants a hard carbon fiber piece right on their nuts? its not a rollercoaster I can hold my own damn legs in place. i would consider it only if i was a serious track star. but at that point just buy a porsche. an m3 is supposed to be versatile - which includes comfort

[@SeanF374]

@KrupekXD I have no issue with driving fast on country roads. If you watch this video though, you will see that he completely ignores houses next to the road. Families live in those houses and he is not anticipating the additional risk this creates and driving accordingly. The people in those houses will complain if cars keep nailing it past their homes and the speed limit will eventually get reduced which affects us all. He portrays himself as an ethical petrolhead while doing the exact opposite.

Congratulations Mick 👏 one of the best brand new cars you can buy today along with the GR86, without doubt! Do you reckon you're use to the width of this car through these narrow winding roads? I'm a beginner driver so I always get intimidated with lane positioning when oncoming vehicles come from a blind corner 😂 If you ever happen to be in South West London area and for whatever reason need OEM parts for your G87, you may bump into me as a Parts Advisor Apprentice at Park Lane haha.

oh jesus I was watching your old vids and now I'm early to this LMAO Also noticed you don't have a handbrake. You'll have to show us how to do a handbrake turn without a handbrake XD As far as reviews go... The only reviews I ever trusted were reviews done by 3 old blokes on this one television program I used to watch. They knew what they were talking about. The new M2 is not well liked for its weight and the longer wheelbase, I'm assuming that both of these things really don't matter? Seems like the weight of the car isn't an issue at all and makes it feel planted, and the longer wheelbase feels more controlled thru the corners?

[@MickDrivesCars]

The weight is really just on paper, feels no heavier than my Megane once you're moving 👊

[@MidnightGreen4649]

​@@MickDrivesCars oh sweet. I find it interesting, some people who usually stick to classic cars say that weight does matter even if it's well balanced, others say it doesn't matter at all. I remember my friend, who has a MINI, taught me the basics of manual. I struggled to balance the clutch with the throttle, so I look forward to learning how to get a smooth start every time.
