Nick's first point here is ON POINT. The simplicity and lack of options allows people to simply drive and enjoy...couldn't agree more.
A refreshing change from BMW
Few options makes the Nick Murray Sign and Drive event at Murray BMW quick and easy.
I actually like that the interior isn't super fancy and complicated. It makes for a more back to basics driving experience
i think BMW under rates the horse power to keep insurance rates for the car alone down
didnt think of that. smart thinking move, it does make sense
"Smaller is always better." Yeah, sure... I'm glad she turned you down gently.
you should be at the top !
lmao
*yawwnnnn*
Lol sure. I am not a mandingo and I have never had a woman unhappy with me.
You will never know, because a woman will never tell to your face she is unhappy in the bedroom department.
Great reviews on cars and choppers with a dash of humor. We really enjoy your videos which tend to disprove the theory that Kiwis cant fly.Keep up the good work and cheers from NZ.
One of your best reviews Nick, great job. Thought you hit many key points, especially about the interior and the real size difference.
Nick, your reviews are amazing.Today is becoming more and more rare to see a realistic review like yours are.
You are very knowledgeable on Porsches. I would love to see a 997 review from you. I think many people will find it interesting if you can compare head to head 997.2 to a 991.1 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good review vid overall. Both amazing machines and I gotta say, your picture quality in this vid is the best I've seen!
We love you Nick. Keep it up your detailed reviews and fantastic cinematography!
A perfect car to this day!
Awesome review, thank you soo much Nick. I'm now "today" the proud owner of a 16' M2 6-spd. Your honest review assured me that my new and very first BMW, first "M" purchased was an excellent choice.
Remember the review you did back in 15? Audi S3 "Daytona" Launch edition. . .well that is the car I just sold to get the M2 & purchased after viewing your vid even back then Cheers-ADR
How do you like it?
How’s the car been?
great review man! thanks for the great shots and effort. keep going!
Nick you are EASY in my Top 3 most FAV youtubers! love your quality videos i enjoy every single 1 of them! keep up the good work sir :) cant wait for the porsche to arrive!
Good job Nick, thanks for another great review
Great music for a video on this car. Another short and sweet review! Keep up the great work....if one can call it that!
Nice review Nick! Son just picked up 2018 M2! With introduction of the Competition model, regular M2 prices dipped. He was able to pick up a CPO model with 1100 original miles. He’s ecstatic with the vehicle! Have your blessing didn’t hurt! 😜...keep up the stellar and concise reviews!
Great review as always and big shout out to the Commodore 64 T-shirt
Great review bro and the quality of the video is fantastic.
my first computer was a commodore 64 .. awesome tshirt ! thanks for the review !
Glad you like it Nick 🖒🖒🖒
great review as usual Nick !
I hate commenting on RUclips but I'm glad to hear your opinion on the car, great video as always.

Is that harambe in the back
Dicks out
RIP
yes hello
Harambo
Spot on review Nick, you know you're stuff.
Looking at M2 now. thanks for the review.
Great video as alway dude, great to hear a kiwi accent! you are right it is a fabulous drive!
It's incredible that the two cars have similar width. The M2 looks absolutely tiny in comparison in the video. I'm currently shaking with nostalgia. Not only because of the c64 tshirt but also the music. I kept thinking about entering a space station after installing a docking computer for the first time. Have a great day, Nick.
Great video Nick love your style.
Great review Nick!!
Excellent review, Nick! I was waiting very patiently for you to do this. Ordering mine soon. Thank you Sir!(also can you do an R22 review when you get a chance? Thanks!)
I really enjoy your reviews. Thanks for this one. Bear in mind, the lack of buttons to your right by the gear shifter compared to your M4 is in part due to the lack of DCT in this car. I have a '15 235i with some Dinan bits. Really been tempted to trade up to this but Im holding out for the competition package hopefully next year. Cheers!
Great review Nick!
You're right about the fronts and backs of these cars. The M2 is lacking in the back and I think a big part of it is how the fin extends off the trunk on the M4. Looks great.
The blue Danube is a beautiful song grate choice. Love to drive this car on a mountain road it's that in the background
Great review Nick 👍🏻
I know this is sort of an old video now but as a former 1 series owner the M2 still fascinates me and I will definitely test drive one when it comes time for my next ride in a year or two. I am frustrated by the lack of adaptive suspension though and have heard that the overly stiff ride on bumpy roads (of which I have plenty around me) is a negative. With the new Audi RS3 being so good it might end up in my driveway just because it will make the better daily.
Thanks for doing these, we all wanted to see. Notice that Strauss creeping into the vids, good choice 😉
Great video! Thanks for being fair and honest in your reviews. I do own a 2017 M2 6MT so I'm a touch biased, lol. I was actually looking at the new M3, but after pricing the options for it, it was way more than I could afford. They happened to have my future M2 in the showroom floor so I started learning about it right then. I have days I wish I could have afforded the M3, but for no particular reason I think just to say I have the M3 and the S55 engine. I have read that performance is extremely close between M2 and M3/M4 so that made me feel better inside. I then learned other things that made the M2 maybe better than other current M cars, so overall I have been satisfied with my purchase. Your M4 is beautiful. I had too many people that pretty much said I'm not even in the same breath as a M3/M4 and I wanted to tell them, really??? Look up the data, lol. I am looking at the Dinan Stage 2 power package which I may get some time this year. Thanks again for the video!!
Great video. Glenns Car Collection owns an M2 just like this and he does a lot of long term ownership reviews on it and comparison tests
Top review Nick of the BEST M car ever made!!!!
Sick car and great color. Good review
love the M2 content
Hey dude! I thought I owned the only red M4 in Fairfield county! Nice job, thanks!
It looks so awesome from the outside but I just feel like that interior is pretty uninspiring especially for 50k.
I wish you could get the cloth/alcantara seats from the m sport models on this car, they would look fantastic.
I agree, the seat apart from the stitching looks ordinary, the instrument cluster looks plain, I heard some materials are plastic and light feeling. For a M car I would like race pedals as standard. But the engine and exterior...beautiful!
youre not in there to feel comfortable and luxury. you're in there to drive. especially if you opt for the 6mt.
their modo isn't "bmw the Ultimate Driving Machine" for nothing. Superior engine and driving dynamics. get an Infinity then
$65k on my BMW.com build. 2013 M6 with opal white full leather and CF aero, conv less than 20k miles $55k
Totally agree. Would be a lot better if there was an option to have white/beige leather - think it would make the interior look far less cramped. I sat in one of these 2 weeks ago and for someone 6'3 I definitely felt claustrophobic (particularly compared to the M3 I sat in 5 minutes later)
Great as always Nick. Throw em both on Lime Rock and the M2's weight advantage takes the win. BTW I hope you're getting some track time at LRP..
Commodore 64!! Love the shirt! Do you remember the Commodore Vic 20?? That was my first computer. Learned BASIC on it. I believe it had 20k of memory LOL.
Cracking review bro👍👍🏿👏🏿
great review, always enjoy watching your videos.👍👍 can you please do a review on Mclaren 570s. rwally interested in your opinion on the 570s. thanks from your fan in San francisco😊😊
Love the shirt!
Nick, BMW no longer offers the 4 year/50,000 mile maintenance program. It is now 3 year/36,000 mile with several exclusions.
Yes and no wear items such as breaks, rotors, clutch etc are included on all 2017 models and on.
thx nick for the great review. i have been waiting for this for some months ;)
will you come to germany to pick up your new porsche 911?
Good review, thanks
That colour is amazing! really compliments the M2. I need a new car, maybe add the M2 to the list of cars to look at..
Nicely done as always. I really enjoy your reviews. This one is special to me because my M2 gets built next week and I have been curious as to what your thoughts would be about it especially since you have so much experience in the M4. I am also a little irritated that they decided to go with Dakota leather versus the much nicer leather that is in the other M cars but as you point out its tough to beat the overall value of the M2 so I will learn to live with it. I am a bit concerned about the lack of contrast in the gauges, I don't understand why BMW went that direction, I will bet we will see a change in that area when they do the LCI. Thanks again for the review.
Congrats on your new M. I am sure you will love it.
That blue is fantastic
Hey Nick! Great review as always. Is there much of a difference between this and the m235i you reviewed, I have the latter and was wondering on the difference in performance, how much better does the m2 sound in person? There difficult to get a hold to test drive one in the uk. Thanks
Ok I am 45 seconds into this. And your t-shirt is awesome! Although I think you are little young for C64 I appreciate the representation!
This could most definitely be my first CT purchase!
Awesome video
Duuude the t-shirt is killer :) love it :)
Great review , touched on some very good points. What kind of cameras were you using. Quality stuff I reckon.
M2 looks awesome, I want one.
Dude, I dig that t-shirt.
Awesome car! It's definitely on my short list. The Cayman as well.
great video, thank you !
What a coincidence - early in the morning I've watched your old M235i review and now you upload this, brilliant! By the way, how does the M2 compare to the M235i? For someone considering the latter one, is it worth paying more and getting the M2?
And as always, great review Nick. One of the best automotive channels here on YT. Keep it going!
bmw is doing some pretty awesome styling on their M line
I'd love to see a test of the new M240i!
Ayeee Nick you made it to Carbuzz !
I'm still loving my F30 m sport
I love it. Best looking modern BMW.
I went from a 320 to a 120 msport and loved it
thanks nick
great car, great review, thanks :)
Good review Nick. I think the M2 is the better choice for a drivers car compared to the M4. The M4 just got too big (4" longer than the e90?). Love the aggressive look of the 2 as well. I was actually eyeing the M2 to replace my e46 m3, but when the official specs came out I saw that it was as heavy as thr m4 but with 60 less HP, so I immediately turned my focus to a 997 C2s (which was my ultimate goal anyway). I wouldn't trade my 911 for an m2 (in fact, I will never drive front engine again) but if I needed 4 seats, this is the one. Also great commentary regarding the CLA. Total econobox POS compared to these other cars.
Completely agree. If I didn't need the back seats I'd go with the 997 or a Cayman GTS (although a bit pricey right now).
I'd definitely get the Gran Coupe version when it comes out.
Very similar to e46 m3 I feel. Would love to get one but love my e46 m3 so much
Nick, nice video and picture quality inside the car is awesome! Which camera and mount you are using? It completely blows GoPro away.
To me the best M currently available. It also increased hope that the next M5 will top everything.
I got a question, would you trade the M4 in for the M2
Lovin ur videos sir! What do u think of the M2 Competition?
Going to test drive an M2 myself soon with a view to buy. 😀😀😀
Strauss. Brilliant choice!
well done! good video
Fantastic review. Which mount do you use inside for the dslr? -Ben
beautiful camera angel
Nice review, I like my M235i but everytime I see the M2, it makes me think I should have waited. Maybe someday.
That white-gray lettering on the dials seems like a reminiscence to the E46 M3. They horse power of the M2 and E46 M3 are also quite the same.
Great review man, can you review the lexus Rcf
the m2 always stands out among the bmw's
How does the single turbo setup feel compared to the twin turbo in the M4 ( is it more laggy in one vs the other) ? Does the M2 pull hard to redline better or does the M4?
waiting for M2 CS hope it comes to North US
As a European, it was unsettling seeing 64 degress on your climate control.
As a South-African, i can relate lo
I don't give a fuck
meek miLL seriously though
Pierce Cooke it’s not degrees it’s rather Fahrenheit for Americans
Nice T-Shirt !!!
Off topic but This is the first time I've seen you accurately capture the the color of the sakhir orange m4. Usually In Your videos it's VERY red.
I love my M2 , well done BMW
Thank you Nick!!! I put a deposit on an M2 Competition sport!!!!!
Nothing on driving dynamics?!
Appreciate your thoughts on interior, space, and practicality though.
Great review as usual, Nick. I was always curious as to what you thought of it as I was initially interested in the M2 but due to limited availability and no deals to be had, I ended up with an M4, which is really what I wanted anyway (I like the bells and whistles, as well as the full Merino Leather). I have driven the M235i and owned a 135i, and do prefer the size of the smaller car, but the larger trunk does come in handy.
The M2 is not as comfortable as the M4 as well, you hear the road/wind noise a lot more.
Now that you mention it, I just spent 14 hours in my M4 driving home from North Carolina and found it much better than my 1 series. I had two passengers and luggage, too. Something i doubt I could do in the 2 series.
Thanks for the great review.. although I'm confused with your accent here?! Where are you originally from?
