It's about time you guys reviewed the manual Supra. B58s always seemed like great engine, and this comparison has had a long time coming. But in the real world, they'll never outrun the glorious 2024 Nissan Altima SR VC-Turbo. Nissan's upcoming Nismo track package is rumoured to include an additional 50 CVT-breaking horsepower, widebody kit hanging off the bumpers, and a turn-signal delete for maximum weight savings.

[@michaelluttmer2486]

Love my OG LBB M2 Manual for all the reasons stated after owning a A90 Supra and just couldn't live with the lack of interior usability. On the M2, with some different shocks, springs the front grip problems go away. And the braking is fantastic with some PFC08's and motul or SRF brake fluid. A wider square wheel setup also dials everything in. Also, the OG and maybe new Supra can run 18 wheels instead of 19, so you save money in track wheels, can go wider potentially, and more variety in track tire options.

[@sephiros9883]

@@lloyd.8272 every single m2 owner who tracks a bit seriously will have camber plates. Bmw is notorious to be super conservative with camber out of the factory. The other thing is aero, I don’t know autobahn, it seems to be a fast track. The rear of FXX cars is pretty squirmy at high speed and is lacking aero. That’s why the M235iR has this huge wing. It makes a big difference. A guy at my local track with a M4 went full aero and shaved almost 4 seconds because of the confidence gained.

If you do buy an OG N55 M2, and you do any autocross or track stuff, ditch the plastic charge pipe. When it blows up, best case scenario is you can zip-tie it together well enough to get you home with no boost (DAMHIK). There are several aluminum aftermarket solutions which will never break.

@@user-wz4fw2ws1s this is a great point! I myself picked up the M2C recently but would have been happy with the n55 as well.

The OG M2 does require some work on that front...especially at high elevation where I'm at (cooling issues exacerbated)

Depends on what you're looking for. The Supra is better dynamically (lighter with a lower center of gravity), but the M240i is much more livable on the street (more space, better ergonomics/visibility). Also, you can easily order an M240i to spec and pay MSRP or less, unlike the Supra where you have to just hope one of the few Toyota dealers that aren't adding markups gets allocated the spec you want. Realistically, it's $5-10k less for an M240i similarly equipped, and BMW financing has better rates right now. Shit, I really do sound like a BMW salesman.

[@muhammadmore]

Dear Jack Holmes, I hope this letter finds you well. My name is BMW, and I am writing to you today about a topic that is very close to my heart: the B58 engine. To put it simply, the B58 is the greatest piece of human creation since dinosaurs. As a machine, it is truly a marvel of engineering. Its power, efficiency, and reliability are unmatched by any other engine on the market today. From the moment I first heard the growl of the B58's exhaust, I knew that I was witnessing something truly special. The way it effortlessly propels my vehicle forward, with an almost otherworldly sense of power and control, is nothing short of exhilarating. But the B58 is more than just a powerful engine. It is also an engine that is built to last. Its durability and longevity are a testament to the skill and dedication of the engineers who designed it. I can trust the B58 to keep running smoothly for years to come, no matter what challenges lie ahead. In short, Jack, the B58 is a true masterpiece of human engineering. It represents the pinnacle of what we can achieve when we put our minds to it. I feel incredibly lucky to have access to this amazing piece of technology, and I know that I will never tire of the thrill of driving a vehicle powered by the B58. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, Jack. I hope that you share my enthusiasm for the B58, and that you will continue to support this incredible engine for years to come. Best regards, BMW

No comparison is perfect and you guys did an amazing job keeping things as comparable as possible. Thank you for doing such a great job. I would be very curious how a F87 M2 Comp would fare in this test. That said the new M2 is so heavy and unattractive in my eyes that no amount of performance can make me desire to own one. If I could afford a manual Supra it would be my choice of these three here. Love the F87 gen M2 as well as it was the last BMW drivers car if you want to call the Supra a Toyota product. Btw love the Garmin data on the lap times. Really helps illustrate the differences in turns and braking.

[@ericm8368]

In all the comparisons of the M2 Comp and OG M2 the cornering speed is fairly similar, but the M2 comp has a higher speed on the straights by 5-7 mph depending on the straight length (135ish vs 140sh). So on a small track like this it'd maybe be up 0.5-1 sec on the OG M2. Still probably the slowest car here. In Car and Driver's lightning lap the 2016 M2 ran a 3:01.9 and a 2019 M2 Comp ran a 2:59.7. Only 2 sec different and that was on the huge VIR circuit with plenty of straight to show off the S55 advantage. Add an intercooler and tune to the OG M2 and it'd be the same.

I'm picking the OG M2 for these reasons: 1. Price. Its so cheap now, and the performance is really good for the price. I would probably pick the M2 Competition over the OG M2, but still the OG M2's price is worthy of paying. 2. Its a car that is true to itself. It is a BMW through and through, but more so, it is also a 2-series BMW through and through. What I mean by this is that it is still small, nimble, and lightweight. The new M2 is way too big and heavy, making it not true to itself, and the Supra is a BMW, which make it not true to itself. These are my reasons why the OG M2 is my pick.

Oh man, the Scion reference is legit. WOW!

[@MatthewGaither]

Another outstanding job, team. Highly informational and thoroughly enjoyable as well. Sounds like the manual Supra is quite good, if only Toyota would make more of them!

[@benpenagonzales6014]

I love that as much as you criticise in your critique of these cars, you’re realistic about what is achievable for the price.

[@anydaynow01]

Sounds the older M2 is the way to go and just spend the price difference on power and suspension bushing upgrades!

[@lloyd.8272]

Doesn’t need that, alignment and cs steering, diff and traction software.

[@johntechwriter]

No, you’ll be spending the price difference on maintenance and repairs.

[@azikosha]

I fixed the front end problem on N55 M2 by installing the camber plates (-3). Reprogrammed DCT, Steering, DSC and rear diff, Performance pads and the car has transformed! Tune the engine to the stage 2+ with little budget and you get the car on the same performance level.

[@patthonsirilim5739]

n55 runs pretty hot right out of the gate stage 2 without radiator or charge intake manifold upgrade would run into limp mode if track in 100f ambiant.

[@Gr4v3r]

What tire sizes did you run on the new M2? I didnt think the RE71RS came in the proper sizes yet for that car. Did you go down to 19s or did you run the 285/35R20?

[@jackholmes8105]

Factory size. Aspect ratio slightly changed

[@laloosh04]

@@jackholmes8105 so a 285/35/20? That is over 4 percent taller than stock assuming a 275/35/19 was used on the front. From personal experience, that will mess with a ton of things like the diff and abs. I am surprised the car even drove out of the bay in the regular start up mode without the TC freaking out.

[@jackholmes8105]

@@laloosh04 as the tires and wheels were already staggered it made zero difference. Car was driven with and without the re71rs and the car other than grip levels drove the same.

[@laloosh04]

@@jackholmes8105 You increased the rear diameter of the tire by almost 1.2 inches. The car uses wheel speed to dictate abs and diff behavior and all this matters to how the car drives, grip levels won't change, electronic behavior and car balance will.

Awesome video, as always! What a great comparison. And now I will never be able to unsee what Mark said about the design of the new M2. Hilarious…

[@Chriisanthemum]

i really feel that the chevy camaro ss 1le should be featured more in comparisons betweens cars like these (i know it's an i-6 comparison but i mean overall)

[@wesleyrice2138]

Many Cartubers are sleeping on the SS 1LE. Randy Pobst has a 1LE, probably for good reason. Zygrene says it would have been his choice if it weren't for his Porsche. Only thing is, tall gearing.. Which I guess points to its track purposes though.

[@SpyderRacing]

Yeah and a stock SS 1LE is 15 to 20k cheaper and faster

[@jreyes2014]

I love the commitment to the B58 bit - this one got me good 😂

[@tylerdowd]

saw the new M2 in this same color driving yesterday. Looks pretty awesome in person

[@rexe3139]

It doesn’t

[@Fmandan77]

When Mark explained how underwhelmed he feels after driving the M2, I felt a little less crazy as I recently had a similar experience, but with a different car. After not buying a new car in more than a decade, I recently bought a new 2022 GT500 Shelby Mustang. I was almost immediately disappointed by the lack of emotion and satisfaction I had while driving the car, unless I was at WOT or listening to the amazing exhaust notes as it downshifted to a stop in sport mode. I didn't want to admit it at first, but I was much happier when I bought a new 2003 SVT Cobra 20 years ago. I didn't have the words right away as to why I wasn't happy with the GT500 as it was clearly the fastest and most capable car I had ever driven, let alone owned. After owning a bunch of different performance cars in the 1990s and 2000's, I was finally able to buy a monster of a car, in both price and performance and well, I wasn't happy with it. I'd like to think my disappointment with the top-tier Shelby offering was similar to what Mark experienced with the M2, it's just too digital, heavy and detached feeling. I recently sold the car, feeling sort of embarrassed in having bought what I thought would be my life-time dream car. Am I just getting old and desiring the cars and experiences of my youth? Or do I just expect a more visceral and rewarding experience from a $85K car? Probably a little of both... Awesome video review of three amazing cars, I thoroughly enjoyed the video and love that you put the same tire on the cars to reduce the variables. Well done!

[@Eric-uq1wn]

Get a 2020 Shelby GT350!

[@ZDY66666]

Oh no, I look in the mirror and I see jacm. Porsche Cayman GT4(RS) is my god car, BMW b58 is my fav daily, and my guilty pleasure is a Corvette. Only diff is i went the Cayman GTS route instead of the Vette

[@ericm8368]

Yessss! Been waiting for someone to do this comparison. Thank you!!

[@aaronbritt2025]

I'll take the 2018 M2.

[@ZackNakazora1]

Jack has done a great job. You two are killing it out there deep diving into what each car is supposed to do and how it does it. This level of car seems really like if you had the focus st or the frs or even a mustang and you wanted to go the next level (outside those with the mach1/pp2 mustang) the standard is now supra or m2 (z is lagging here 😢) great comparo!

[@monoply11onpsn]

Holy ish. You guys got a monetized video! Congrats 👏 sorry if it's not the first but I've literally never gotten an ad on any of your videos until watching this one tonight

[@westondaniel]

I like the look of the new M2.

[@boredbanana7324]

Awesome Stuff! I highly appreciate the consistend, non sensationalist language you guys use throughout your videos. So I as viewer already had pretty good idea how the results would be, even before watching this video. That is minus the supra being faster. :D Now that the F87 was such a good bang for buck I would love to see how the M140i would fare against this lineup as a manual B58 for +- 25.000 with Supra weight.

[@grigorioschristodoulou5229]

I imagine the 140i would struggle in terms of suspension and lack of diff. G Series M240i could be interesting, probably very close to OG M2
