2025 horsepower is increased to 473 HP, with the same torque. I also clearly mention that I won’t be able to do a full drive in the 2025 model. I did drive for a few minutes and then transitioned into a 24 model. This doesn’t happen hardly ever, but I made due and it’s going to be a very similar driving experience. When I am able to find a 25 model that can be driven I will film another video, but these are incredibly hard to find at the moment.
Not trying to be too critical but my opinion is that you guys should remove this one and make a new 2025 M2 review video when you're able to drive the 2025 model. You incorrectly stated the power of the 2025 M2 as BMW states the engine will receive a power bump to match the M3/4 in the base model. But in your video you're actually driving the older M2 model and is not reflective of the changes in the 25 model. I understand maybe the dealer will not let you drive and put miles on a brand new 25 model but your title will be misleading and the contents of the video is not reflecting the 25 M2.
I mentioned clearly in this video that I wouldn’t be driving this exact model. Looks like horsepower is 473, missed that, so easy mistake. For the vast majority of our reviews we do drive the same vehicle for the video. But occasionally we have to make it work. Since the steering wheel is the only major change, it’s the same car.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I understand what you're saying but I still think it is a bit misleading considering your title is making it seem like you're reviewing and also driving the 25 m2. The base model engine, especially for the manual drivers, being the same as the m3/4 is a really big deal and change for the 25 model. I have enjoyed many of your older videos but I'll be honest the test drive portion of the video is almost completely useless.
@@djb85 I get that but when this is the only opportunity to film the car, I’ll take it..I drove it for a bit in the parking lot to show, but for the rest of the rest of the test drive, nothing would be different. There wouldn’t be much if anything to film differently. It’s basically the same car, steering wheel is different, badges, a slightly increase in power, which a simple tune can fix. It’s the same car. So it’s not a useless drive.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Again I'm going to respectively disagree. A major reason so many on the BMW forums are going to order and wait for the 25 vs buying a leftover 24 or used 23/24 m2 is because the mini refresh has an updated ECU tune from BMW making it the same engine as the m3/4. I understand you want to upload a new video and get some clicks but your title is misleading...
@@djb85 again, this is my only opportunity to film this car. I’m sure I can drive one at some point, but again, they honestly aren’t different. Like I said, a tune would make the 24 the exact same, it’s a slight tune, that’s it. It’s the same engine.
Seems pretty nice while driving in general. Camera might pick up a bit more road noise. The M3/4 will be a tad more refined and quieter. But even this is really nice
My brother just bought the Type R lol, but he'll probably get an M2 at some point. They aren't really competitors at all....but depends on if you need a lot more practicality with the hatchback vs a coupe.
Not a clickbait artist at all….we don’t do that on our channel…..you didn’t see the 25 model in this video?? I even drove it and mentioned that I had to continue the drive in a different model. I made all that clear and was transparent about it all. I talked about all that in this video..

@@speeddemon311where did you find that? BMW website states those numbers for both auto and manual.
@@speeddemon311 The 25 m2 does get a power bump even for the manual option
And if u get automatic u get 444 torque
Manual torque is same …. Auto torque Is 444 I believe
@@quikness5284 no one replied to your comment, who are you talking to?
I hate that the looks have grown on me so much!! Lol
It’s a cool new look!
Same here
My portimao blue 2025 with silver wheels will be here in a couple of weeks if you guys want to film it....no more boring colors
That would be cool! Are you local? Send us a message on IG and we can schedule that! Thanks!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yes in Charlotte

It sounds pretty loud in there while driving - how does the noise on the roads compare to the M3/M4?

you can switch off auto rev in the M Menu. And also you can get buckets for the M2 :-)
Yeah I saw that!
M2 or Civic Type R? What you prefer?
@@prettyridesmedia M2 is the easy answer if you have 20k more to spend lol
Type R? Haha
My brother just bought the Type R lol, but he'll probably get an M2 at some point. They aren't really competitors at all....but depends on if you need a lot more practicality with the hatchback vs a coupe.
lol
both are great!
No point less you live next to the Nürburgring.
High praise actually.....I'm getting one
@@r3games1985 If you say so....😂
I’d disagree with that, sportscar are fun anywhere.
U know u are wrong with the horsepower …. 2025 been upt to 473…. Manual stays the same torque four the 8 speed goes too 444 torque
Yup, I made a pinned comment about that.

Thanks for checking out this review!
Dude… did you just title the video 2025 but the video is 2024. Bro you a clickbait artist for sure
