Living with the BMW M2 reveals more than the track tests would suggest. Let's take a drive with The Topher through the streets of Michigan to find out if this is a real enthusiast M car, or a compromise.

Always great to see Tedward and The Topher together. I agree with your thoughts whole heartedly, except the suspension doesn't feel that stiff to me. Maybe even too compliant in comfort mode. That's on not so good Southern California roads, but probably a different story in Michigan. It makes a great small GT car, but not really a special drive TBH. The engine is a real beast though!

You two are my favourite duo although I prefer your format so I'm always stoked to see his feature on your channel. We need a similar M3 (or M4 would do too) review soon. They feel so much more complete compared with the M2, but the thing is - to each their own and on top of that I haven't heard too many opinions on things you value and pay attention to in these types of cars. I recently found a black on black M2 spec looking kinda appealing, but then I went through ready-to-collect 2 series listings and at the price point of $75k for an M240i and $100k for an M2 (both brand new; forget the specs as I didn't pay much attention to them, just wanted to see a price for a produced car waiting for a buyer) I don't see the upgrade worthy those $25k but more so I really can't see neither of those prices be justified for what you get. I might be biased because I would've never thought of a ~3-4 yo, slightly used car as a worse option than a brand new car, but in my eyes, when it comes to the M2s I would go for the previous gen 100 out of a 100 times if offered. TLDR the new M2 feels incomplete and I have a hard time justifying it at such high price point. Great video, it is refreshing to see people be critical of the direction the automotive industry is going towards and not sugarcoat the stuff that bothers them about new cars, that's why I love your vids.

I had an e90 335i and the 1-2 gear change was so hard to get smoothly. You had to really pay attention and get the RPMs just right. I've had several BMWs with manuals and that was the only one that had that issue. It was actually super annoying and impacted my enjoyment of the car. Sounds like this M2 has a little bit of that, which is disappointing.

Concur in my e92 335i manual, especially before the transmission/fluid is warmed up. I never drove a 'F' generation, but did get a chance to test drive a G82 M4 with a manual and thought the transmission and clutch feel were much improved over my e92. I left very impressed by the M4, yes it is a big car, what I envisioned a 5-series to be, but it drove very well.

A friend of mine works for bmw North America and I got a ride in a new m2 the other day. From the passenger side it felt really good suspension wise and power. Can’t speak on the steering feel. I will say, under acceleration, that’s where you feel the weight. You know it’s going fast but with all the weight you can feel the momentum the car has from carrying all the baggage. Weight is the enemy of the modern sports car. You can make heavy cars handle great, but you can’t make them feel great compared to a lighter car. I think it’s a great car, I liked it and wouldn’t mind owning one (if I could afford it) but I wouldn’t want it to be my only sports car. The car makes sense for the person who wants a sports car with all the modern technology but doesn’t care about the drive like we do

I honestly like the electric steering rack in my X3 M40i, the sport steering can be a bit too heavy but feels good with spirited driving. Not sure how different it is on the newer models. I can definitely feel the road, tires also play a huge role in this. Runflats are so terrible and I bet this had them

No tires will survive lots of track days, but general driving this car is lighter in weight than my f150 and has wider tires, and I routinely get 50-70k miles out of my AT tires on my trucks. Using them mainly on road with occasional beach/trail use at low PSI. I think most people will get the rated warranty millage out of their tires in this car, and if not you know what you were doing.

As someone who is VERY new to driving manual, is it wise to go for a manual G87 as a daily or is the auto a better option? I know both options are seen as equally good but I am a bit scared to try and spend so much money on something that I may or may not be comfortable driving...let alone have fun with. Alternatively, I could always get a cheaper second car with a manual to properly warm up to the experience. Its just that I always have second thoughts about the auto every time I hear someone online rave on about manuals being superior. Whereas in my POV, the auto in the G87 just felt like a more sensible option. My lack of real experience with such cars is what's holding me back I suppose.

2:00 the 1M was actually only $47k base in 2011, but adjusted for inflation that’s $63,900 which is $700 more than this car’s base price. The carbon package is a rip off, this is a great deal without it.

Imo I feel like everyone is getting way ahead of themselves with the overall look a feel of this car. I mean I remember when the g8x dropped and everyone shit on the grill and no everyone is fiendishly digging for them(similar to the mk5 Supra). I feel like this will probably be similar. Also bmw has proven that with very little mods the power can increase by a substantial amount. I love this car and part wants to buy one pure to spite people hating on the platform.

@@fuze3522 I guess so, but Buying a BMW M240i with xDrive instead of an M2 is like choosing a high-end gaming laptop with a powerful graphics card but not getting the top-tier model - you're getting close, but you're missing out on that ultimate gaming experience and performance that the flagship model, or in this case, the M2, would provide.

@@saricbarcello4780 id rather have an M240 tbh, i think its a better looking car. And it has AWD while still being lighter! You can bump the engine up to the same 460 horsepower with just a tune and intake. Id rather use the money i save from not getting an M2 to build the ultimate M240i ha. Like a custom built PC vs a high end pre built :3

Audis are better on steering than BMWs these days. Had a hard time going in the BMW direction but ultimately did go that way mostly due to the nicer interior and small bump up in HP, speaking of the S5 vs m440i.

I am conflicted. I love my IS500's kooks, power, V8 sounds and Lexus reliability, but I miss a manual. Do I keep it or replace it with this M2 which BTW, has a more reliable powerplant than F87' S55, but not sure as reliable as a 2UR. Any thoughts?

@@goncalo33 I am assuming you mean mistakes related to driving a manual. I am not too concerned about that as I had the first gen IS300 with a manual and I put 264k miles on that all on an original clutch and a S2000 (sold for the IS500, needed room for kids 😀). So driving a manual BMW with a lot of torque down low is a breeze (drove my friend's G80 M3).

1.8t in my opinion are just way too much weight in an M2. I drive a i30N DCT and I already find it weights too much at 1.5t. I feel like BMW is making every car too big nowadays and then compensate it with a bigger engine.
