I’ve had 400 miles on my G87. Not yet through break in, but I LOVE IT! So glad to hear another BSM (black) owner say he considered satin PPF and decided he liked it glossy. Mine is getting out this week with full body STEK Dynoshield to let more of that metallic flake shine through. I’m also contemplating gold or bronze summer tire wheels. Tough to find a set I really like though.
I’ve concluded that I’m just a grumpy old man now. I look back with nostalgia for the cars of my youth and irrationally don’t like anything made today. There are vehicles I would buy today sure, but I’d much rather have a car from 10 or 20 or even 30 years ago. Is this what happens when you get old, is this why my parents didn’t like the cars that I now love?
Not sure it is. I’m 19, and I’d sooner buy many 5, 10 year old cars than brand new ones, especially Mercs. I just think the car industry peaked about 10 years ago.
I agree. It looks sick in black, but I owned a black car once and said never again. It's like a part time job trying to keep that color looking clean esp in a daily.
I've got the only Grigio Telesto M2 in the UK at this point, which is a nice feeling, absolutely love it. I used to have a M4 for 4 years, and I personally cannot relate to anyone who says they would rather have the M2 over the M4 for anything other than financial reasons. Each to their own, but the M4 is in another league. I don't want to come onto someone elses video and crap all over them, but all I'd say is that if you're interested in buying a car... go look for videos from people who've owned the car for longer than a day or a week, and who aren't journalists that rely on a good relationship with a provider for the continuation of their content.
Funny, I am the opposite...I didn't fully appreciate previous gen M2's and this one looks amazing to me. I'm considering one, because I love the motor and the styling.
@@bqproductions7448 you're are right, it's expensive. This is my first like this so I'm going all out, so the seats were a must. Besides, I would've gotten all the extras anyway so the package didn't bother me. Congrats on your prospect. Best value is certainly the base
It’s the best looking car BMW makes, I think it’s beautiful. My only criticism is that it should have a body colored front lip. I pick up my next weekend
Super sharp .. super versatile ! The drive in London showed daily use and ease of ownership. Out in the country, on the highway, it’s fantastic .. the two experiences compared really help the person looking to purchase .. this video really helps !
I have a Toronto red M2 that is “ready for transport” at the factory. I am not sure when I will get it, ugh. I was wondering if anyone has put the M performance lowering springs on it to get the right tire to fender gap that it needs. I am worried about lowering it and then having BMW get bitchy on warranty items.
Mine goes in this Thursday for the 1200 mile break-in service. I have also owned a 2022 M4 Competition xDrive Convertible. The M2 is more fun to drive in my opinion than the M4. Don't get me wrong, I loved the M4, but I beginning to like the M2 better.
I think all the owners hate the Dodge truck front and cheap Ford Mustang display, feminine touches of stamping on the door vinyl, but like the performance.
Currently considering a G87 moving from my A90 Supra GR Pro - for the practicality more than anything! Because in terms of power the Supra will go up to 11 with some Litchfield tunes etc but I’ve got an M2 itch… the Supra gets attention on EVERY SINGLE DRIVE so I would miss the halo effect of that car … but then… awesome video thank you so much!
I love the F87 M2 and the G87 is growing on me but I’m just curious how the M240i of precious is an excellent daily driver but the M2 is not? So far most of the content I’ve seen on G87 is how to make it look reasonably appealing with body kits and parts. I realize the new M2 is a comfortable daily but you’ve said comfortable as it should be but I’m not sure M cars were ever really comfortable they always had harsher suspension and a raw appeal to them maybe as I get older I just want to go back to where cars were more analog. Hopefully the refresh will fix some of the styling of the G87 we’ll have to see but if I were to spend the money I think I would go for a gently used M2CS over the G87 just my .02
I know I’m late to comment on here and won’t get seen, but really don’t see why people hate the styling. Doesn’t everyone love the e30 m3 from the 80s and now bmw give us a car that at least has that boxy styling and Ofc yes it’s different but I really think this should of been the new m3 but it for some reason everyone hates on it. Each to their own I guess
I have had my G87 for 2 months now. Have come from M5 f90 comp. Must say love the M2 more than M5. Although the M5 had all the power the M2 is so much more fun.
Great video...Archie comes across so much better speaking off the cuff about cars rather than hyping up something on his own channel. Has to be a lesson there.
F87 is hard to beat. It was an instant classic. I want a G87, but the thing that worries me long term is that stupid screen inside. Ain't no way that it lasting 3-5 years. The G87 would be good for only a lease
Yeah Paul buy one if it's really what you want and you enjoy it .and you've had BMW's before and please please buy another lamborghini again .as well as a BMW .that's your dream garage again.from Dan.m👍👍👍🚘🚘
There are good reasons the M2 isn't sold like Archie's, which admittedly looks brilliant, especially the front splitter. Archie's made a track weapon, but his spec is compromised for the road. The ride quality will be significantly compromised and the splitter is simply impractical on UK roads. You talked about how you ruined your previous gen. M2 for the road and simply made it a track weapon. When are you going to start listening to yourself and resist ruining a car purchased for the road for use on the road???!!! When you finally grow up, you will realise that when it comes to road cars, BMW and its multi-billion Euro developments know better than some guy from Watford, and any other individual from anywhere! That said; BMW is missing out on money by not offering a version setup for the track, like Archie's, and letting the aftermarket take the money.
I have an older 3-series saloon......it has the right mix of curves versus square'ish corners. True the driver doesn't see the outside too much, but when I come out my front door every day and set eyes on it, it needs to look great. Archie's car is more bearable, but BMW.....what were you thinking!
Those days are long gone mate. BMW like other car companies only care about profits and lowering their costs. Mexico allows BMW to manufacture and assembe much cheaper than before.

bronze over gold
I just sold my m135i xdrive I had my wheels painted Lamborghini bronze against the black paint it looked just fantastic
Edelweis tires are amazing

@@jonesy-rh5fkim 18 turning 19 next year but I only like cars from my childhood supercars from 2000s to 2012
I'm 62 and drive a built Evo 9, all my younger mates say I should buy an M2 until they try to keep up with me in the canyons 👍
Yes
go drive a new car..
I do agree with how the lighter color on the newer BMW M2 looked eh, but when it was in full black out looked menacing.
I agree. It looks sick in black, but I owned a black car once and said never again. It's like a part time job trying to keep that color looking clean esp in a daily.
I like the way G87 looks especially in TR. Imo looks better than G80/82

How is the steering feel? Is it on the numb side ?
I have an M2 in order, it's fully loaded, carbon package and M Performance Height Adjustable Suspension
Crazy cost for those seats though. I am trying to put in an order right now but am gladly saving like 7k on those seats.
@@bqproductions7448 you're are right, it's expensive. This is my first like this so I'm going all out, so the seats were a must. Besides, I would've gotten all the extras anyway so the package didn't bother me.

Are you happy with the suspension? Wondering if it’s worth upgrading in the future
@TheAufis very happy with it, but it's don't know what stock feels like to compare it
I've got one on order, this video helped me solidify my decision! 🙌
22 m3 owner and I think the m2 is the nicest m model right now. Its classic bmw look in 2025

I’ve had one since August, best car I’ve ever owned (and I’ve had a lot of things over the years)
I say forget the look....you cant even see it when you are driving....S58 with small figure...sold
I wanted to get a F87 M2 Competition, but I came into the market too late. Now I have an order for a G87 M2 so I am happily playing the waiting game.
I have a Toronto red M2 that is “ready for transport” at the factory. I am not sure when I will get it, ugh.

If it’s the M Performance HAS its covered by warranty. They can install it at the port or after delivery.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the M3 Touring, as an M340i Touring owner that would be my next purchase if I could afford it.

I agree! I’ve thought the exact same thing - hoping I can get mine in the spring if tariffs don’t make it unaffordable.
I have had my G87 for 2 months now. Have come from M5 f90 comp. Must say love the M2 more than M5. Although the M5 had all the power the M2 is so much more fun.
You can tune your M2 to be as fast as thar M5.
Yeah I know but one of the issues with the m5 is it has so much power u can't use it. Apart from short bursts. If u want to keep your leicence
How is the braking system compared to the m5? Lol
Interested to know with the present cost of insurance premiums how much Archie is paying for his M2 with all the mods he has fitted?!!
the Blanck m2, what's the brand of the rear defuser
Still ugly
Saw a black one in Germany recently and they have quite the road presence!
I see this is 11 months old. I heard that it will be redesigned in 2026. I am unsure if I should wait or get a 2025, or get the M240 instead?
Full on with Black. Maybe this could be my next daily drive❤
The M3 touring is not available in the states. Many Americans don’t appreciate estates .. it’s a shame. I’d love the M3 Touring ..
man my first time back on this channel for years, how come your view count has gone down so much?
Supercars of London Great Review I think that G87 M2 is awesome and I think you should get one for the Channel
Great video...Archie comes across so much better speaking off the cuff about cars rather than hyping up something on his own channel. Has to be a lesson there.
I find myself agreeing with you Paul. 👌😉 I like the m3 touring in black.
I like the look of the previous M2 more.
F87 is hard to beat. It was an instant classic. I want a G87, but the thing that worries me long term is that stupid screen inside. Ain't no way that it lasting 3-5 years. The G87 would be good for only a lease
why do you say so? Are bmw screen known for being short lasting?@@chrisginoc
@@Hp100 i don't think it will last the test of time as in keeping this car 7+ years
Yeah Paul buy one if it's really what you want and you enjoy it .and you've had BMW's before and please please buy another lamborghini again .as well as a BMW .that's your dream garage again.from Dan.m👍👍👍🚘🚘
Bmw m2 or z4 m40i?
They still haven't figured out reliability, which is why I won't touch their products with a bargepole.
I would lease a G87 M2 in a heartbeat, but never finance/own.
Same with all German cars. Just own them within warranty.
Might want to do some research.
stuck in 2009 eh?
6k views in a day how is this channel still goin 🤔
Chris already told us its good no need for this .
I love the look of the M2
They don't look anywhere near as good as the last one, but they look pretty mean in Black...Ha !
This is Bloody old school, it looks like from the 80s, that’s why it looks stunning! Thank goodness BMW didn’t design it ‘new school’.
Nice Car
Need a new cameraman, he forgot we want to look at the car
I hated this color until I saw it in person. Damnit BMW lol
It’s slowly growing on me. By the time it fully wins me over, maybe I’ll be able to afford it 😂
AutoIDs m2 looks amazing
We never got your M3 Touring video mate…

Blue looks so much better.
it is odd, but everyone who sees mine says they love it. I would not have expected that.

I cannot imagine anyone noticing this car
Stopped when saw who friend was
You had a Nissan GTR and now this thing? Ok
You should get a G80 M4 and tune the hell out of it 🔥🔥🔥
Pocket rocket. Imagine it in xdrive
would not drive anything else, love everything about it
The new m2 is like the old m3 deffo 😁😁
Love it
It’s ugly as fuck for sure, especially in this color but it is a great car overall, there is no denying it.
Sucking upto manufacturers again...?? Just say its ugly and move on
Drink everytime he says "yea"
Yeap.... 1st M Made in Mexico impress u? So wil there b M Made in Asia? I still prefer M Made in germany by german!
Those days are long gone mate. BMW like other car companies only care about profits and lowering their costs. Mexico allows BMW to manufacture and assembe much cheaper than before.
I dont think this car will age as well
Previous model was waaaaaaaaaaay more beautiful
The front of the M2 looks awful, a mix of shapes which don't complement one another.
Old M2 and this generation will never be classics, they're too new. There wont be enough time for them to become classics. Use them as daily drivers.
Oh yea
Yawn Yawn
I would never buy this car and that's just based on the looks, can't get over it and time won't make this look any better.

Much better in Mexico than low skill/uneducated areas of the southern USA ...which is the cause of the current Boeing fiasco
Baby blue is the worst colour on the M2
