i drive the 2023 M3 manual i do have to agree, one of my main complaints is how rather soft the clutch and stick feels. yes, for daily driving it is nice, but when im on the track it doesn't feel as snappy as id like for it to be. my previous car was the type r so i was very accustomed to a more aggressive clutch and manual feel. i expected the M3 to have a similar feel but i was rather disappointed. i did a slide at one point when driving on the track and when downshifting to second gear to gain speed again it locked out on me for a sec, unsure if it was my error but it did catch me off guard. the new screen is beautiful but has its major share of issues. when driven on the track, it tends to cut in and out of apple carplay to then just not work at all when reaching higher speeds. and on casual driving it the heads up display will work for the most part but there are times i would have to turn off the car and turn it back on to get it to work properly. its my first and only bmw i've driven and owned so i cant compare how it is to previous models, but overall i am happy and in love with the car, it did amazing on the track and was at the end of the day i was very satisfied with how the car drove, it's definitely a heavier car which took some getting used to after coming from a type r but it is still an amazing car at the end of the day.

Being old enough to remember the "Bangle" BMWs (even though Mr. Bangle already did the ones before and they looked great) this seems like an hommage to "looks bad, but look how brave we are by sticking to it!" from back then. (not just the M2, the 3 and 4 series and all the beaver teeth current BMWs. The 2 series at least isn't that much of an offender in the grill departement, but anything below around the car looks tasteless.) How beautifull the old one looks now! Also the inside picture you showed of the old one looks way more elegant and classy than the rectangle display that needs the mid mounted supportbracket we can see several times in the video. I don't get why manufacturers place free standing displays for the important functions wihtout any kind of sunglare protection hood. It just looks bad to me. And like a bad idea with sun comming form the side too.

[@DANA-lx8cv]

I have a previous gen M240i, (in blue of course) with sunroof, and I like it. If you don't want extra light, you can just close the shade, so it's the best of both worlds really. It's not a lightweight track car, so you really wouldn't notice the extra few pounds, and there's more than enough power to handle that anyway. Summer night driving with the sunroof fully open is also very nice.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

BMW sunroofs are actually really nice. They work, don’t leak, and most importantly, are placed in the right position to make it really nice to have.

Like Thomas, I own an OG M2. I LOVE it. If I can't find a 997.2 / 991.1 in the spec & price I like, I will keep it forever. The reason I love it though is because it's rowdy. More specifically, you MUST tame it. To drive it well, you have to control it. As you get better with that control, it becomes a dance, where you're playing with the car and it's playing right back. I'm in the hunt for my perfect forever ICE car. The one I will keep forever. The only car I've found that has been more playful to drive are the afore mentioned Porsches.

No ICE will beat electric, so I'll get speed out of the electric future. I WON'T get NA sound, light weight, agility, connected feel, etc. So I want my ICE car to exemplify those traits. The Porsche will be slower than the M2 (at least feeling), but it'll better hit those non-electric traits. Test drove a 991.1 and loved it! The rear engine really gives it a playfulness, like the M2. Just need to find one!

Don’t think I’ve ever laughed that hard at a car review video as I did when Thomas put on the neck tie. 😂

[@realAdaunn]

We need an uncensored version of Thomas’ rant please!!

[@37TBS]

Love the “there’s more to come” teaser of the road trip!! 😂

[@ayadayad82]

I think u went so far on this one , I love this car and it really looks good

[@mercedes300best]

The only reason the car felt “slow” in the beginning clip was due to the fact the car cuts power when you get below 50 miles to empty, especially below 30! My G80 M3 does the same

[@MRMV483]

Lool we have to get this comment to the top!

[@addamussi]

lol if that's true, they've gotta remake the video haha

[@IceburgSlim8788]

Can confirm this is true.

[@kitemett]

BULLSHIT

[@Eastdog98]

is a quarter tank of fuel less than 50 miles of range though?

[@WheelsAndHelmets]

Couldn't have described the BMW looks better myself! Thank you for your (mostly) uncensored review!

[@scottwilson419]

when the close-up of the top grille popped up, i instantly saw the Charger and Magnum grille, the older models at that.

[@mittortz]

@ThrottleHouse - the issue you described with the manual - is it significantly different from how it is in the M3? What you showed there looked egregious in terms of response, but I haven't heard any of that when it comes to the manual M3, which I would have thought would be very similar in terms of tuning, etc.

[@cameronspeedie6198]

I’ve been watching these guys for years, and I live in the same area where they film most of their Canadian content. Seeing them grow and expand to America has been oddly bittersweet for me. On the one hand, it was really cool to have local people like them making such amazing content right here in the GTA, so I’m a little sad to see them spend so much time in America. On the other hand, they’re in America because of their deserved success and because it allows them to create even more incredible content for us, I can’t complain! They’re the Top Gear of the modern day imo, and embody all that I love about car culture today. They seem like really great guys and I wish I had the opportunity to meet them back when I was working at a local dealership that would loan them cars. I was working when they did the meet and greet back in the summer :(

[@myvids4329]

Its just tough to film car content in the winter lol. Only so many trucks and SUVs you can do, most of these cars have tires that will try to kill you when its below freezing

[@steveyj75]

Howdy neighbor! (Also from the area)

[@wheres_walido]

I felt the same way when Doug moved away from the 215. It was cool recognizing all the places and dealerships and stuff. But content is content, and it's no question I'd rather the content be good.

I love the amount of sophistication in these videos

[@bobabreath5097]

Perfectly well put rant on the aesthetics of the M2. I don't think even the hardcore BMW fanboys could disagree.

[@ktob1000]

Former 6MT OG M2 owner here. The car was simple, fun to drive, well-priced and decent on the track with limited mods (camber plates, springs, brake pads and square rubber). Not so much with this one

[@kevinmcg6747]

A real honest and open review of the new M2 and all the better for it guys, thank you!

[@BJSolutions]

You guys are damn funny... Lol😂😂😂😂 great videos as always

[@dwagz6311]

I can't be the only one to love the new look 🙌

[@asong26]

You guys are awesome!! Loved the beeped out comments regarding the styling. Classic!

[@InccubusPWI]

I love the part when Thomas thrashing on the styling looks 😂

[@brianperkins3782]

Literally belly laughed as Thomas was rolling through the final styling thoughts in the conclusion. Well done, gents.

[@AkashLankala]

There’s something super unpretentious yet capable about this new M2, and I’m loving it

[@PinealDreamin]

These videos make my day in a way nothing else can. I appreciate y’all!

[@rmp5s]

My GOD you guys got a better spec than everyone else I've seen...yours doesn't look painful!!

[@stevemiller1626]

IMO the styling challenges for the M2 likely have to do with the insanely high belt line of the 2 series. The blocky boxy design elements try to work with this challenge.

[@grigorioschristodoulou5229]

It’s also a driving challenge, with the new bonnet you feel like you’re piloting a SUV. Maybe carbon buckets reduce the issue. Only test drove with M Sport tri-color seats

[@selkies888]

Amazing review. Keep up the great work fellas. You deserve extra kudos for being honest about the BMW's flaws while other KZbinrs seem to be shills for future loaner events.

[@AwDudeIDontKnow]

For real lmao

Staying in the threshold of an gear with only 27 miles until empty! 😂 love it!

[@michaelmoore3916]

As always, great review! Would you buy the M2 over the Audi RS3?

[@toaster4269]

ok that old school Top Gear styled road trip teaser was not something I was expecting. And now I'm really excited to see whats in store

[@philipB31]

Guys: thank you for always making such tremendous videos - it doesn’t seem to matter what you review, it could be a **** or a ****** or even a ******, you make my day/week/longer-period and hopefully you do that for everyone… mostly.

[@hodgesjaso]

Another great video. You guys nailed it about styling, too... Hilariously nailed it.

[@HeebeeGenie]

Love the homage, best intro ever.

[@rianbezuidenhout8151]

Been eyeing the M2 for a while so went to dealer today to see if I'll fit, and got a test drive. Don't fit in the bucket seats but ok in the sport ones. Wow, I want one, its gorgeous and the best value for money M deal out there. Love the M5 but can buy this and something for the wife for the same price. Oh, I'm 6ft 9", 145kgs

[@zaidmaknojia9003]

I wondered why you didn’t fit in the buckets… 6’9” will do it for ya

[@TimShelnut]

Never fails these guys always has me cracking up! The editing and video is always top notch!

[@revaholic]

Insanely good review. I like the way the M2 looks but can’t accept a screen for a dash in a sporty car - doesn’t look sporty one bit

[@amcj5172]

okay the intro was amazing haha

[@markmiller1988]

You guys are so funny. Killing me but keep it up. Proud new owner of An X4M Competition. In purple. Took a year uhhhg, I'm told it might be the only purple AKA violate X4M in the US of A. Keep on rocking the cars...... Mark , also C7 Z06 owner... Love Cars, what can I say..

[@anv_bis7287]

"Please refuel" 😂

[@norwegianblue2017]

Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing sounds like a good match up. It is roomier, but weighs just slightly more, but also has slightly more power, similar price. Nobody has ever accused the Caddy as not being a blast to drive.

[@dkubisa]

My local BMW dealer called me last week asking me if I was interested in trading my '18 OG manual transmission Long Beach Blue M2 for one of these. I laughed. BTW- if you get BimmerCode and an ODB2 adapter, you can easily bypass the auto rev matching feature in all driving modes in your OG M2 (Comfort, Sport, Sport+, hero mode... doesn't matter: rev matching is OFF). I've been driving mine this way for 3 years with absolutely zero issues. I highly recommend this, it completely brings the car to life.

[@DeanBaas]

Love this M2, reminds me of the 1988 m3. Grill is perfect.

[@MKBinDC]

The production quality of your videos just keeps getting better and better!

[@robp5656]

Please. Do not change. Very much enjoyed this video - keep up on with whatever it is you are doing. You have the spirit of Douglas Adams in your writing, higher praise there isn't.
