Living with a G87 BMW M2!

[@arymonem]

I’ve been daily driving my 2023 M2 (6 speed) for over 3 month now, with 4600 miles so far, and I can honestly say that the experience has been nothing short of amazing. It’s very practical, comfortable, easy to drive, not too big or small, sporty, and most importantly the fun factor is top notch. Couldn’t do everything with a 2 seater ( e.g. cayman, Supra, 400z), and wouldn’t be as sporty in a bigger 4 door sports car ( e.g. M3, etc..). Great video btw!

[@MotoManTV]

Owning a BMW for 71K miles as of now, i have no doubts about the reliability of BMW. it has been to garage less than my newer RAV4.

The people who have issues are the ones that air their opinion, the thousands that don't have a problem at all you don't hear about them. I have a Jaguar F-Type, which being Land Rover family everybody will be quick to point how unreliable they are. But the reality is that I drive it like stole it and nothing but maintenance for years.

Man, filling the M2 with 87 octane gas is really bothering me. On my M2 Comp the minimum is 91 and recommended is 93. I can't imagine it being lower on the G87 M2.

To clarify - M2 comes with LED headlights. The option is for "adaptive" ones that turn with the steering wheel + auto high beams.

[@benbustama3430]

What a great way to start my Saturday morning! Another great video from MM! This is the best video on the new M2! Great points made by MM. Agree on all points! This is BMW’s best quasi sports car today (ever?) no question about it. No car is perfect. The new M2 is a bit porky, and I hate the ridiculous electronic HVAC/gauges! That’s it; everything else is spot on! I just sold my ‘19 240i XDrive a few months ago. It was my favorite DD that I’ve ever owned. Miss it already! Looking forward to the new 2025(?) M2 CS with AWD. That will be my new DD! MM, more of these type of videos, pls. This “living with” format is interesting/entertaining, & worthwhile… Cheers/B

So..any regrets going to the M2 vs the M240i xDrive? Both are ones I'm considering and like you, have previously owned an xDrive 2 series and regret trading it...should've kept it.

[@jacobstrouble6631]

As I near 50 years old, I'm having a hard time choosing this over the x3 m40i. Keep going back and forth. If the X3 m40i had a manual option it would win easily.

[@miata1370]

We bought a new '23 x3 M40i last year...can't imagine a better drive train than the B58 & ZF 8 speed. Previously owned a '19 F22 230i xDrive so I appreciate the versatility that 2 series platform has as well. With back seats folded, the 2 series can carry extra set of wheels & tires...was great for the seasonal wheel/tire change for winter.

[@MG-ot2yr]

Thanks for the video, I'm getting ready to buy a new M2. I've had various BMW models over the past 40 years or so and can comment on whether to keep them over 5 years. They are hit or miss, and generally the first production year of a new redesign has the most problems...but that's not always true. If its a miss though, you'll know it usually within the warranty period, and if its presenting problems then get rid of it when warranty expires. If its hit, hang on to it. My current one is a 2015 435, having bought it on late 2014 so its 9 years old now and have had no problems with it, just your routine maintenance, oil changes, filters, etc, in fact its still got its original brakes....so this one has been a keeper.

[@BertShackleford]

Love this new "Living with" series, George. Perhaps this will allow you to revisit some of previous models that have been featured on the channel. For starters, may I formally request a re-review of the C8 Z51 Corvette and/or any Porsche 911 and Cayman GTS 4.0? Please and thank you. (My wife also wanted me to add the Porsche Macan S and/or GTS as well. She says, _"Thank you hun!"_ )* FWIW, the new 2024 C8's come standard with several options that should have otherwise been included in previous model years. Plus, as you already mentioned in this video, the C8 Corvette is another great option versus the BMW M2 and my preferred choice. Nevertheless, I appreciate this real world approach towards ownership of these vehicles. I understand this can be a difficult process to convey to the viewers but I think you nailed it. Side note - I _love_ hearing my state being mentioned in a positive manner for once. Stay classy my friend. *EDITED for wife's request.

[@Mrbobcat7]

I'm really digging the M2! Trying to decide what to get when it comes time to trade in my 21 1320 (if I do). Right now I'm considering another stang (had 3 in the past), a 25 Charger six pack, i240 x drive or M2. The 240 would probably be the wisest choice for a daily in NW Ohio, but Ive gotten by for years with rwd cars as long as I switch to better tires in the winter (usually get another set of wheels and tires). Think I'll wait until at least next year and hope int rates come down. But also heard the 26 M2 may offer awd which would be awesome, but may be too much if they raise the price again. As it is 60k is about the max I would want to spend and that is assuming I would get decent equity on my trade.

[@ant_salvy]

Super insightful video! Amazing quality content, thank you!! Love the “living with” platform, brilliant! I live in South Florida, and I’m in between a manual M2 and a manual base 718 Cayman. Not for tracking purposes, simply for daily living and for < 5 years. Which would you recommend?

[@loseerich493]

Great vid! I have a small BMW X car that's had zero issues in 1st 2 years of ownership. Before that we had a 2011 X5 35d in the stable, it was very reliable. We have a Ford product, an Audi product, & a Toyota product in the stable currently along with the X BMW. The BMW has been flawless & nothing else has been flawless (issues wise), including the Toyota. Never thought I'd like or respect anything BMW but the last 5-7 years has throughly changed my mind. Biggest 'issue' I have with owning a BMW is the dealerships I have to frequent are HORRIBLE for a lux car experience. They're all like Grand Central Station, never have a loaner available......you feel same as going to Ford, Toyota etc dealerships, which is like a piece of cattle. BMW needs to fix that b/c I may not buy another BMW due to the non-lux-car customer treatment their dealership experiences yield. In regard to wear parts (brake pads, rotors etc), I have zero problem buying / using aftermarket stuff. Often times I'm buying the OEM stuff, just not in an OEM labeled package.

[@MotoManTV]

Great real world feedback . . . thanks!

[@BertShackleford]

One of my neighbors owns a 2023 M8 and recently lamented his experience at the local BMW dealership. [Mind you, this is not a disparaging remark. Rather a factual observation with no malice whatsoever. Thank you for understanding.] First of all, he was thoroughly surprised to see just how many East Indians that own BMW's. It seems to be their favorite German automaker. I would have thought they would prefer Land Rover or Jaguar since they are owned by Tata Motors but I digress. He even said it looked like a train station in New Delhi (speaking of Grand Central Station). What was even more shocking was their attitude towards the dealership employees and even other customers. That is to say they acted immature, disrespectful and extremely entitled. Which is not indicative of the Indian's that live in our neighborhood for the most part. It just so happens that he was a former Ranch owner in Montana and he even made a similar comment regarding "cattle". However, I will refrain from using his colorful vernacular. I mention all of this because it seems to fall in-line with your dealership experience as well. Such a shame too. Feels like the BMW we all knew and loved has been rendered obsolete for the foreseeable future. Truly a bummer. Stay classy my friend.

[@loseerich493]

@BertShackleford I have no axe to grind with BMW pe se, but am an observant individual & do/have owned other brands of lux cars. I absolutely LOVE their (BMW) products nowadays. I LOVE the fact they, unlike Merc & Audi, offer a military discount. I LOVE the dynamic & way the BMW CCA is run compared to say, the Audi Club NA. But... The dealership sales & service experience I always get is flat-out sub-par. Part of spending the $s owning a lux vehicle is having that special feeling of valued treatment when you deal with the dealerships. Audi where I live advertises on TV they not only have a fleet of 100+ loaner cars available but they will deliver the loaner to you & take you car in for service. I can't even get a loaner from BMW to save my life, routine maintenance, even with an appointment, takes 2 or 3x longer than it should & what's promised, & like mentioned above, the dealership's I have to pick from are insanely busy/hectic. Happy German car motoring!

Ride quality is fantastic compared to the 135i. I had the 135i for 5.5 years and it would crash over bumps like crazy. The G87 is stiffer for sure but it handles the bumps much better so it feels more refined and supple. Not quite as good as the GM suspensions, but much closer than they used to be.

You hit it right.... maintenance. I have found most who have complained about BMW reliability comes from those who have bought 2nd or 3rd or more ownership vehicles. Buy it new or Certified or someone who is a real Bimmer person who has not molested their vehicle. In terms of the G87 M2.... sorry. It's too much like a M4. The F87 is really the last M car where the M division engineers gave you a car that they wanted. Minimum amount of electronic crap and real buttons without having to use a damn screen.

[@heinrichgerhardt6119]

Regarding BMW reliability: we have a 2011 335i coupe (manual of course) that we bought in '14 when it had 30k miles, and has 55k miles today. In this car's life, it's had 4 HPFP's, rear shocks, VANOS bolts, blower resistor block + wiring, infamous Takata airbag replaced (all under recall/warranty), plus electric water pump + thermostat (which required a tow), windshield washer pump, and oil filter housing (OFH) seals replaced. Definitely MUCH needier than my '03 Silverado. I guess it's all about how you interpret "reliability"...

[@KennethWangFishing]

If I use my M2 as a daily I will run through 2 sets of meaty summer tires a year, about 24 tires in 3 years, plus $4000 for brakes since they don’t come with carbon ceramic rotor options like the M3. That’s roughly $15,000 for just tires and brakes in 3 years. That’s why I use it as a weekend car.

[@Mantra427]

87 regular in a performance TT car? Did you experience any ping or knock that you noticed, under load/boost? Especially at high RPM's under load? Or is this stock boost, stock horsepower level not warrant premium or higher octane?

[@Mantra427]

I should've checked the stock compression ratio. Looks like it's only 9.3 CR stock, so that helps stay safe, but still not recommended when boosted. Especially if you mod it up and raise the boost over the stock ~18psi...

[@SupraSav]

3.9 to 60 is GTR territory, and GTRs are almost double the price of an M2 now.... Damn, car prices have gone insane. I'm debating an M2 but with Corvette's so closely priced and mid engine.. That's enough to beat out the awesome S58, in my opinion. I have a special appreciation for BMW, owning a 335i(N54), maintaining it myself, and heavily modifiying it. That being said, I don't think I would pick an M2 over a Corvette. If I wanted M2 performance and practicality then I would step up to an M3. If I wanted pure sports car at that price point, I think Corvette is the better buy.

Disagree with your statement on manual/automatic. While this has certainly been true for the predecessor, for the current M2 I like the automatic with the possibility of paddle shifting.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention the g87 M2 also handles a hell of a lot better than both the G80 M3 and M4 due to it's shorter wheel base. Also, a Toyota Supra is not shit compared to a G87 M2; they have completely different engines. I'll probably sell this car though when I see dumbass Gen Z kids with broccoli haircuts buying it used 4 years later from now. Have a nice day everybody!

It's funny how everyone freaks over the Climate buttons. I can say after driving nothing but BMW's since 2012 that once I find the sweet spot on the Auto Climate control that I never touch the settings. Same is the case with the M2. Set it and forget it.

No self-respecting M owner would even consider a sunroof over the cf, and Costco gas ?? My M5 has only seen Shell 93 during its 5 year trouble-free lifespan. And by the way, Bmw has more highly rated reliability over the past 4 years than either Mercedes or Audi.

[@loseerich493]

Sunroof are horrible IMO I'd delete it if ordering one. Absolutely nothing wrong with Costco gas, it's top-tier. I no-joke see people with up to modern Ferrari's at the Costco. You're never going to find fresher fuel than at a Costco station. Now, I wouldn't put 87 octane in my BMW but I'm guessing that was a mistake on Motoman's account. Agree on current BMW reliability, been my experience as well. Happy motoring!

[@trentonhuntley9966]

Costco has high quality gas. Shell is terrible in my experience. I will only run Costco, Exxon, BP, or if desperate QuickTrip

[@loseerich493]

& there's practically no way anyone has fresher gas than the average Costco station@@trentonhuntley9966

Nissan Z looks better.

They should have made it a hybrid

I hope you’re joking. If not, please keep your terrible opinions to yourself.

[@stevejohnson2108]

Hell no, what are you insane? Not being a hybrid is the one of two reasons I am buying it.

@@tommy516 So you think someone like me that can readily afford a 70K car would give a damn about 17 mpg and premium I would worry? Get a Prius dude.

It remains a catastrophically ugly car. Even at 40k it's not even tempting.

[@bcvijasiu]

Can anyone tell me how are these engines with carbon buildup? Also, other reliability of it?

[@2Bunphettered788]

First, if I'm getting a $70k BMW, I want it built in Germany. 🩵 Also, nice ride, but not a Miami car, like a Z4M or C8 Targa. Looking good in the Florida sun Motoman. 😎👍🏿
