This is the all-new BMW M2!
Mat’s headed over to America to get his hands on this all-new sports coupe, and he’s about to find out if it’s a worthy successor to the previous M2, and whether it can compete with the likes of the Porsche Cayman or even the M3!
Well when it comes to the design, it’s had a serious overhaul over the regular 2 Series. It’s got a large squared kidney grille up front, bulging wheel arches over the side, a carbon fibre roof and quad tailpipes at the back. All-in-all, it’s certainly meaner and more aggressive than the regular 2 Series.
It’s a similar story on the inside, with several changes made over the standard car. As you’d expect there’s a smattering of M tricolour to be found throughout, a fair bit of carbon fibre, and M-specific digital dial graphics. It also comes with sport bucket seats.
Then let’s take a look under the bonnet! It comes with the same 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six as found in the M3, but the output has been dialled down slightly, so it’ll produce 460hp and 550Nm of torque. This power is delivered to the rear wheels only, and unlike the M3, you can pick the M2 up as either a manual or an automatic!
The price starts from around £65,000, but is it really worth it? There’s only one way to find out - stick with Mat for this all-new review!

In my opinion the only models that look better now than the previous gens are the 5 Series and 1 Series (conditionally). 5 Series LCI is absolutely gorgeous whereas the previous one looked a little fat and grotesque in my opinion. The newest 1 Series is better looking ONLY with the blacked-out or M Performance grille. The standard (I think) chrome grille looks fucking hideous and like buck teeth. However a 1 Series spec’d properly or the M135i look really handsome.

Are those Bumpers not the ones US Cars have to have because of some weird Law in the US? I guess they're not on it here in Europe. What i learned about BMW the past 20 Years is that everyone complains about their Designs whenever a new one comes out and then say the previous one looked better. Then People get used to it and then when the next one comes out they wil cal the one they used to call ugly before "Much better looking" etc. I think BMW gets so much Hate for Designs because they're the only Car Manufacturer who does actually change the Looks of their Cars the most from Generation to Generation. Audi in Comparison, doesn't. So People dont have to get used to new Looks. As much as i dislike a lot of BMWs when theyre released, i'm aware that in a Year or two i'll either end up gotten used to it or liking it. Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps

I actually quite like the design and i like the fact that it is based on an actual 3/4 series chassis, unlike the old M2 which was based on the 1 series. Much more quality in the interior, these amazing seats (probably the coolest seats in the entire car industry, even beating Lamborghini and Porsche!), one of the best powertrains ever made, great transmission, RWD with an LSD and the option for an manual transmission. They even made a complete Bodykit, the entire car looks different to the normal 2-series coupe, this is insane to me. Mercedes wouldn't even bother to make their 140k C63 a widebody and spec it instead with 255 rear tires. I consider this as one of the best BMWs ever made and the best new car for under 100.000€ of all time!

Have an older M3 myself, which I'm planning to sell soon. Gradually fell out of love with BM. Their design language has just become muddled and cars very ugly. New M2 looks like somebody tried to make a kit car rendition of an M2 on the cheap and got it badly wrong. Love your video's Matt they're always entertaining.
