My god i am soooo impressed with you Misha, calmly picking up the phone and calling in the oil spill. When ever i drive the ring i am holding on the wheel for dear life

[@bikotheanimator6169]

That is cool how I can see both mph and km/h simultaneously. I drive in the U.S. and I have never been in a car that reads km/h by default. I am always curious to see the difference. 13:23 160mph is 258 km/h.

[@ApothecaryTerry]

250kmh = 155mph, it's why so many cars are limited to what seems a weird number in mph. 50mph = 80kmh is the easiest conversion. Also 300kmh = 186mph, hence in a lot of countries that's a common speed rating for tyres. Also 100 kmh = 62mph, hence 0-62mph quoted on cars. You get used to converting between metric and imperial in the UK 😄 We sell fuel in litres, but measure economy in miles per gallon, it's great. US measurements are just confusing though, which is why I got some amusing reactions saying I could get 48mpg from my Porsche...I think that's almost exactly 40 US mpg.

[@bikotheanimator6169]

The G87 M2 is amazing and everyone complains because of how it looks. If I were super rich right now, I would buy the G87 M2. I made a video where I put the best rims (wheels) on the G87 M2, and I also put the best spoiler wing for the M2 cars on it. I also showcased the car with different colors. It completely changes the car. The problem with the car is companies keep choosing to place entirely all black wheels on stock sports cars. Black wheels only look good with machine lip, polish, or chrome edge. They demonstrated this car with a bad choice for rims, or wheels. I plan to save up money and sell my stock 2016 Genesis Coupe 3.8 and buy an M240i xDrive. If I get rich, I will buy the new G87 M2. People are really sleeping on this car. S58 is the new 3JZ.

[@dodo3441]

If I was super rich I'd have a custom front bumper manufactured 😂

[@gouldnj]

Super rich? No offense my friend, but unless you’re one of those kids that has to have the latest gigantic screens across your dash, think twice and get a F87 M2 Competition. You’ll have a real M car that will take you a long time to actually extract the full potential.

Perhaps you should do a checklist before each run: - Is drive mode in optimal setting? - Does it have ABS? - Are there loose objects in cabin or boot? - Got enough fuel for the number of laps you want to do? - Any yellow flags active before you head out?

[@erimus1]

Passenger trying to hide the fact he was bricking it 😂

[@Schwabz33]

I fully agree with Misha. The car needs a better suspension lowering springs as we all know, always ruins the handling of the vehicle when it’s pushed to the limits, and it causes the car to be unstable, and very bumpy, which causes your shocks to wear out very quickly. If you guys are going to track this car, I was suggest investing $4000 into a better suspension setup or leave in the stock springs on the vehicle. I have my 2024 with carbon pro package on order for the US. This will be my second M2. My current generation is an F 82 competition. I also have 2020 F82 M4 heritage, edition competition package. But excellent driving

[@ZenzDeluxe]

Be careful with blanket statements such as "never use just lowering springs" or "invest 4k" for good suspension on track. There are cars that can be lowered with just a spring on the stock setup, and be better than your precious 4k KW set that barely makes a difference, and there are cars that can become undrivable with just a spring set. As with most things, it's better to look on a case by case basis. It all depends on the car, the spring, the setup, the geometry, the aligment, the tires ect.

I haven't had the privilege of driving one. but i did own a m3 cs which was very frustrating car. im assuming you owned a f87 cs given your comment and prob drove a f80 cs and other g platforms so be interesting to hear your perspectives on the difference between the cars? i can tell you that my g80 xdrive was night and day better than my f80 cs (and my f80 manual) despite the additional weight. the f platforms couldn't put the power down and wasn't as refined (dead steering, spongey brakes, etc.). but maybe the f87 cs was the lone bright spot in the f platform? you should hold onto your m2 cs tho - think it will be a collectable!
