Here's What I've Learned About BMW M2 Reliability

In today's video I get to discuss my overall experience owning an OG N55 M2 and what the reliability has been like. During my 5 years of owning BMW's maintenance has always been important and sharing my knowledge with everyone has always been a passion of mine. I hope to highlight the most common issues and address some of the concerns when it comes to maintaining BMW's. BMW M2 ownership can be great and I hope this video gives everyone a better understanding of what to look for or expect.

[@MotoGearTV]

It’s an amazing no doubt, future classic for sure 👍🏾

[@AutomotiveTherapy]

Very informative video! I’m keeping my eyes out on F87’s 👀

[@MotoGearTV]

Definitely consider it bro, it’s a great platform 👍🏾

[@J3roM]

this was exactly what i was looking for! Great video! I am considering an m2 and not entirely sure yet if i go pre or post LCI...

[@MotoGearTV]

If you can find an LCI at a good price go for it, the light updates are worth it

[@salimrandall]

You sound like a mechanical engineer. I’m not ready for BMW yet great video.

[@MotoGearTV]

Nope just a regular car guy, BMWs are easy to understand once you read up on them, glad you enjoyed the video

[@adamcurtis83]

I purchased my first BMW and my first M2 after being motivated by watching your build. I have even purchased a few items from your website! I am recreating a sister build over in Australia in Mineral Grey, so far I have had the charge pipe fail as stock engine. Other than that, it has been a fantastic and exciting car to own, with lots of practicality! I would really appreciate it if you're able to share what the tape on the rear diffuser is!? And where to purchase it? I am going to run with the same design/ different colour. Thanks, mate! Great video and informative!

[@MotoGearTV]

Appreciate the support and glad we could help inspire your build! I’ll update the link for tape in the description if it’s not already there, let us know if you need anything else in the future 👍🏾

[@phindulomashapha3815]

Your M2 is so perfect 👌

[@MotoGearTV]

Respect ✊🏾 best decision ever

[@GerardoHernandezF87M2]

Exhaust? Didn’t expect that

[@MotoGearTV]

Yupp it’s a common issue even on the f80/f82 exhausts

[@bluestonemetallic7]

…you update the wheels to BBS from Vossen?

[@MotoGearTV]

Yupp couple months ago

[@user-xy5sv5zo6f]

I’ve got an OG too with the MPE. Is there a way to know if I’ve got V1 or V2?

[@williamdtt]

Yes with the serial number. You Can find it on the right of your exhaust

[@petrol_garage]

I need softer suspension on my m2, any recomend guys?

[@MotoGearTV]

Any quality coilover with adjustable dampening should help, KW and Ohlins would be my top choices

[@876normaneffsstthomas]
