Happy with my N55 135i that I bought this year for weekend spirited driving. M2 would be next in the future if I ever sold.

[@kendallium]

I’ll say my piece about the dct. I personally don’t think the dct detracts that much from the manual version. From driving both, I think the dct is almost as engaging without a lot of the effort needed from the manual. Why? The dct does not function like a torque converter automatic. It actually has a lot of the same characteristics you would typically find in a manual which I think is actually a turn off to a lot of less enthusiast minded people (see the change in the g-series). The dct in the m2 is very theatrical which I love and I wouldn’t have opted for an auto if it it were a torque converter. When going fast, the dct gives a very nice slam on your back when you upshift which I think adds a lot of character and theater. the downshifts are lightning quick and perfectly matched and that n55 sounds so nice. If you live in a very hilly city like me, the manual might be more trouble than it is worth. Of course, this could come off as a lot of cope lmao. TLDR, just drive both

Crank hub affects the M2, M3, and the M4’s s55 engine. It’s also a topic that is blown out of proportion a tonn, don’t let that stop you from getting an M4. I just got one going on two months 😉

[@ThicWhips]

Correct, it affects the s55 engine only. If you plan on tuning your car, adding modifications to the engine, etc..you should 100% fix your crank hub. Why even take that risk? It’s just like the rod bearings in the s65..sure..you can gamble, and maybe you’ll be fine. But I’d hate to call the bluff and lose an engine because you thought it was blown out of proportion. I know enough s55 guys to also know this is a very real problem.

[@thelonious-dx9vi]

I just got a '21 model year M2 Comp. It's really pretty great. You know how it seems like there's always something -- cars, guitars, watches, whatever. But in this case there's not really anything, no letdowns. I just love the car, period, and that includes its usability as just my transportation. Northeast Winters will be another story, we'll see how that goes. And I'm sure you're right, i.e. that I'd have loved a non-Comp version just fine. Haven't even had the break-in service, so I don't even know what it can do, but I'm real good with it. I also agree that three pedals is the only way to fly.

I've put on a full AA equal length non-res catback exhaust so the exhaust sound is FIXED. Driving and steering feel so damn good. Lots of power in a small car, pulls like a freight train.

[@rscholey85]

newer piston rings, It also received a reshaped oil pan and a new oil drain pump, to allow for better circulation during more extreme circumstances than it was normally put under. Additional oil coolers have also been fitted to insure that, during the sort of driving that the M2 is capable of, there’s no loss in power" the m235i engine is exactly the same apart from those things you also get the forged internals so don’t feel bad if you have an m235i and don’t think you have a stronger engine if you bought the m2, now the m240i becomes a real bargain since that has the b58 sure it’s not an s58 but still ...

This guy is spot on. My input. I had a n55 for 3 years and over the 3 years I quite heavily modified it which personally for me I felt was a mistake. I am now in a m2 comp and in my opinion there is a night and day difference, however is the price jump worth it? I'd say yes if you can afford it then most definitely but the n55 is one hell of a car and you won't be disappointed with it. The dct seems to work better with the S55 also.

[@ronin120]

thanks for your comment. I am tryin to decide between the 2. I think I prefer the M2 Comp simply because it is newer but am seeing a lot of people really praising the N55 M2. A friend of mine who is the service manager at a local car dealership (they sell mainly German cars) said that though they do not get many M2s to work on, the N55 is a pretty robust engine with little problems which is a draw for me.

I envy whoever bought this goddess of an automobile.

[@qoggles]

still in love with this thing when it was finished

[@Elitecamp27]

Damn bro you should have way more followers man. I love your channel.

[@ThicWhips]

Thank you!

[@cozee69]

M4 owner here. Agreed M2 front is the most aggressive. Love it.

[@ThicWhips]

M4 is badass as well 💪🏽

[@TimChump]

Spot on the OG M2 has everything, looks, sound, performance…

[@CaptainChemtrails]

very spot on analysis, glad you made this video. You might have single handily affected the depreciation of OG M2s.....LOL!

[@ThicWhips]

Hahaha 🤘🏽

[@frocka]

Another Good video Sir. If you ever get to the Bay Area, happy to let you drive my M2 Comp

[@ThicWhips]

I might take you up on that! Thanks for watching

[@gregoryhill5222]

You are absolutely correct competition m2 for me is not worth the additional $ 20,000

[@xavriz]

Around 11:40 when you put the clutch in is that turbo flutter?

[@ThicWhips]

Fuel dumping back into exhaust

[@ronin120]

I am a little confused on what I want to do. Not too familiar with BMWs (I obviously know they are fun cars to drive and they have a large following), but I love their coupes the M2 and M4 (M2 more due to smaller size) and am thinking about trading in my current car for one, but not sure if I should got for the M2 Competition or a 2018 M2. People have said go with the newest car you can afford but many people say they prefer the N55 M2.

[@emsbzrr8024]

I owned both, and the OG M2 (with the N55) is DEFINITELY the way to go. I first bought an OG M2, then a Competition, and I almost immediately sold it to buy back an OG M2. People who are buying the M2 Competition are not car lovers, they just want to flex. Because any car lover will go for the OG M2. It looks better, sounds better, handles better,... If I were you I'd go for a 2016 or 2017 M2 (pre-LCI version), they look and sound even better. You'll have so much fun with this.

[@everythingappletech888]

I’ve got the 335i F30 n55 absolutely love it 😊

[@robsuprem3993]

At this point in your build, do you see yourself taking the n55 to the next level (fueling, bigger turbo, etc.) or selling/upgrading to the m2c?

[@ThicWhips]

I already have everything to go to the next level (fueling, turbo, meth, etc..) so we goin 😂

[@robsuprem3993]

@@ThicWhips Awesome! That's what I was hoping haha Can't wait to see the content. You definitely made up my mind on buying the n55b m2.

[@adonismorales9363]

The sound it makes when you shift is amazing! Do you think the dinan exhaust is what gives it that different burp/ fart sound bmws make? Sounds different from stock bmw burp/ fart is makes when you shift. Awesome stuff dude I want an m2!!!!

[@ThicWhips]

It’s a combination between the catless downpipe and the open exhaust. My car is essentially straight piped. I know some of the b roll showed the Dinan exhaust, however that is older b roll. Right now I’m running the full Valvetronic exhaust system: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYS7e59qqbmdnNk

[@furlong1212]

So you get that burp sound after shifting from a catless down pipe?? Is that on M cars only?

[@ThicWhips]

It is the fuel dumping back into the exhaust. I think it’s the N55 in general

[@bitpr0]

@@ThicWhips yes I have both m135 with n55 and m2 with n55 and can confirm, that burp comes with both vehicles after accelerating, its just a quiter when you have it stock :)

[@rxfid]

loving the content 👌

[@ThicWhips]

Let’s goooo 👊🏽

[@benpitts8073]

Love my 2018 OG M2, lot of car for the money if bought used. Like he said if you live anywhere with only straight line roads or that's your thing it's a pretty MEH car. However on the track and curvy back roads it's an absolutely brilliant vehicle. I drive with a lot of guys where my car is by far the cheapest (GT3RS, Ferraris, McLarens, etc etc) and the other drivers always compliment the car and say how much they love these or if they had a newer BMW they would have one. Also not a super common car and flys under the radar which is a nice thing

[@ThicWhips]

All facts

[@Legend428XD]

Love my 18 og m2 blue!

[@dinero3849]

Thats insane, I explain my 18 og m2 to someone the same way and in my case why i didnt pay 5k more for a competition, (i got a 18’ 5k miles fully loaded etc) by being the best balance with raw car and new tech capable of handling 500-6whp

[@ThicWhips]

Yessir!

[@Desmond-wf1ux]

Dope I found your channel 💯💯💯

[@edgarm.9676]

Yo Thic your M2 reads your current gear near your tac? Is this a mod or should mine show it too? OG 6MT M2

[@ThicWhips]

That’s “recommended gear indicator” but current gear can be coded 😉

[@TheFlyingJohn]

Just got my OG 2 months ago and even at these prices it’s still worth every penny to me.

[@Jin_Jon]

That's such a nice looking ride. I love the white

[@johnt9783]

Great Video. Best looking BMW. Period.

[@randradecabral]

what level tint do you have on your windows

[@ThicWhips]

20%

[@ephremsalameh6954]

Hey man i watched your clips and loveddd!!! But seriously confused which bmw is more reliabe for upgrades and fun the 328 or 335

[@ThicWhips]

Reliability 338, fun 335

[@carloscervantes836]

Do any of these have cooled seats? Any year with this body? Manual will also make it harder to let someone test drive it but at the same time steal it lol.

[@ZeroTheHero6920]

20k more put a upgraded turbo kit and fueling upgrades for like 12k and you can make 650 wheel and have 8k for anything else you want lol.

[@driventogaming2879]

Love my OG m2… great video 👍

[@suprasupra718]

Hey bro I have a question, big fan , so I'm thinking about getting a f87 , 18 , auto. Overall , yes ?

[@shouldigetit]

Find me one for $35k and I’ll take it!

[@vonfragyou]

So you like the M2? Its a beautiful car with some old school and new school technology together. My M4 is very competent but I fell like an operator a bit isolated from the machine.

[@ThicWhips]

I love the m2, I feel much more connected to it than other f series cars o have driven

[@jblue1495]

I recently sold my 07 STI my first dream car. I'm ready to move on to my second dream car an M3 baby. I'm just torn between an E90 or F80. Leaning towards newer-ish tho. Life's good.

[@509evergreen]

f80 or dont even get a m3 .. those old e90s are cool but they are outdated and dont have as many mods as the f80 would have to increase hp and tq just my opinion.

[@ThicWhips]

Go for the f80 man.

[@TheyCallMeTeknoTom]

What year is your M2 bro? I couldn't find that detail in the comments or the description.

[@Mic01851]

16/17

[@kevinganser7895]

Please please tell me where i can buy this for 30k. Its going the way of the M1

[@dylanallgaier1799]

Thic, does the n55b have rod bearing issues? I was a little bummed when I just heard about this problem on my 13’ n55

[@ThicWhips]

From my knowledge, the N55b doesn’t have these issues but we will know more indefinitely once we see m2’s starting to hit 80k miles etc. right now they are, for the most part... lower mileage vehicles

[@jared03031987]

Idd prefer the og m2 easier to replace single turbo for bigger one rather then 2 turbos

[@evanmccarley4850]

Bruh, what rims you rockin'. I'm alpine white and gotta get some black rims and yours in this video are fire.

[@ThicWhips]

Stock 437m painted black

[@tmack79]

I wish we had the keys auto show again this year to see it in person last time the f30 looked way different in person i could only imagine the difference

[@ThicWhips]

I was mega bummed it didn’t happen this year 😢

[@AnonW]

The problem with my M2 is I keep scraping my lip on the tarmac whenever I drive too fast on a back road that isn't 100% flat. Really painful to see my carbon lip getting destroyed everytime

[@ThicWhips]

Welcome to carbon life. Gotta embrace it

[@ghostsr_1413]

Your car is so agressive love it 😍❤️

[@ThicWhips]

Thanks 🤘🏽

[@brycedetelich8449]

watching this 3 years later and the prices are now 36k for a 2017 m2 with 30-40k miles... what has this market come to
