      @@Daveyboy_GolfR hey man! You’re fine! Still have it and miles are low! Overall great car and it does sound better from the competition. In terms of power the comp. Is better. However, for my lifestyle it’s more than fine since I don’t track the car or drive aggressive anyway. I prefer to cruise haha. Mechanically, no issues at all. Just general maintenance making sure the oil gets changed and that everything’s inspected. Overall a very reliable car. From the issues I’ve seen people have it’s because the tend to push the car far too much and if that’s something you won’t do too frequently then you’ll be fine

No connectivity, just wanders like a big buffalo lol. Yeah it's real comfortable but I get no pleasure out of it. Thanks for the reply... I think the M2 or maybe the 2018-2020 m240i with the B58 might be enough since I don't track the car either. I just love the looks and the sound of the M2, and that alone would be worth the extra 7-10K from the m240i.
      The new model m240i is ridiculous in terms of power, but the price is even more ridiculous. Can't find one for less than 60 k if I'm lucky. Hate those gauges anyway. Thanks for your reply bud

    Good review. I love my M2! I was lucky to get one from BMW with all the M Performance carbon fiber add on parts (spoiler, winglets, mirrors, etc) including the bluetooth M Performance exhaust. If you think stock sounds good, you should hear it in sport mode with the flaps open on the M Performance exhaust. Pure bliss! This is without a doubt, the most fun BMW' that I have ever owned and I've had several over the last 15 years.

    This is the *old* M2 and basically an M235i on steroids. The new one is the *M2 Competition* which is mini M3/M4 thanks to a real M engine (twin-turbo S55 instead of mono-turbo S55), electronics, suspension, seats and mirrors. It's not available in this color anymore. The Competition has huge 6 piston front and 4 piston rear brakes, this one only 4 and 2 pistons. The sound is augmented by the sound system.

Great cars but a little expensive to maintain. Anyhow I can only imagine how well the new ones run. That M2 looks and sounds great. Another great video guys.

    CD player? I'll take it! Lol
    I want this one, even more than the Miata, because it has a back seat. Lol but that's expensive, $20K more for a rear seat and 200 more HP. :D
    I always liked BMWs, but like many of the others in the upper real of automotive enthusiast nirvana, they cost money to purchase, maintain, and repair, but if you have the money, and place to keep them, and related factors, it's great to have the option. My 3 Buicks where all 2 doors, my 3 Chevies were 4 doors, but I am partial to the practicality and utility of 4 doors, but, I have been getting swayed to 2 doors lately, abs if I had a practical utility vehicle like the Honda HR-V Sport, Mybe a 2 door would be an option. The Corvettes are nice, but I don't want one. It's too excessive for me now, and like you were mentioning, you don't need excessive horsepower for a performance car if it is balanced and does everything well, especially for a smaller and lighter vehicle. Right now, my 2 door performance car of choice would be the new Toyota Supra Premium, in Blue. Essentially getting an Austria made BMW Z4, but more racy looking, and with a DCT, and more pleasurable for all kinds of everyday driving without excess, like a Corvette. But the Miata MX5 Ckub shows that it can do its thing with 181 HP, and have all the best performance and premium goodies at a reasonable price for what many vehicles at that level don't.
    But this M2 is low mileage, Hsrmon Kardon sound system with a CD player. But all the performance and aesthetic styling details are ideal, though I agree with all the things you saus could be added, like the blackout grill, black roof would be nice, and all the rest. But other than that, I like everything about it. Before, when I liked BMWs a lots, I wanted an M5 or X5/X6 M, but now, I think I would be happy with this. Maybe an M3 fir 4 doors, but all the details on this car is impeccable. Quad exhaust, the engine/exhaust note in all the facets of driving is so soothing, like a cat purr, and I can tell the shifter is untra slick, making me ci sider getting a 6 speed, even if I get that Honda Civic Sport Sedan.
    And yes, dark grey is the best color, hands down for a BMW M series.
