Been daily driving this car for several months now, and honestly I find it comfortable and compliant in comfort mode. Once in M mode, my god, the grin on my face becomes a permanent fixture :)
Spot on. It is not a daily drive car. I test-drove it last week back to back With the 230i and ordered the 230i. The M2 is a track car. Plain and simple. It's a beast. The ride is harsh the steering a little vague. Its so fast.
I can tell you BMW is solid well built stable fast gives you assurance on the road,Ford cheaply build fast want's to kill you every time you put your foot down but you love it at the same time,Hope this helps you😊
@@dw2176 for the track I would agree, but on Australian roads with our speed limits? I think the FPV will handle fine. Its more about which one is more of an occasion to drive. Is there really much of a difference between the two sixes?
I must say it does look pretty good in the flesh so I didn't mind it at all. Also I noticed you visited my spot with it for a few of those parts of your video... ;)
She's definitely got the goods & so it should for the money man it's more of a track car 💯that's why the suspension is so stiff & the looks yeah not as nice as the earlier models but I still like it & what's that colour baby powder blue lol,it's unusual I dig it 👍enjoyable review thanks Johnny.
🎉it’s def a daily with carbon buckets but only with the 8 speed auto. And the manual is a great daily but with the normal sport seats. MIAMI FLORIDA roads are smoothly fantastic so no harshness issues
Great review again. Keep the up the fantastic content. I’ve always said the M2 is the real M3, but it’s a better world because they both exist in any case. As for the looks… I get the same feeling as when I first saw the bug-eye WRX - I genuinely thought someone had put a Rex bonnet scoop on a Corolla. It’s too cute and hamster inspired in my opinion, but it could grow on me.
Nice car.....but that's alot of coin....I like the colour...and interior...the M2 is known for its hard ride....great track car....your definitely right about it not being a daily...great review Johnny.......
Great review, I’d own it,yes it’s a track and auto barn car,not so good on our shit Aussie roads,I don’t like the front end as much as previous generations but sexy ass though,don’t like the physical look of the gauge set up across the dash either,in saying that I wish my bf typhoon had the same build quality though
I actually like the exterior more than the interior, there’s no reason to have screens that big it’s not a computer game lol, a third of the dash is a freaking Google map like does BMW think their drivers are blind and don’t know where they’re going, I know that’s customizable but still it looks silly 😂 Also those screens will look so date in a few years, not timeless at all!
It's hard and bumpy compared to what? It's more compliant than the og, it's similar to an m3 it's 10k cheaper than an m4. It looks better than an m4. It feels better than my e92 did.
BMW are on crack, the F87 has a beautiful exterior but the interior was pretty cheap and reflected 1 series money. Now they have given the car the interior it deserves but the exterior looks like it was once a wax sculpture that melted in the sun. Bmw are in the middle of an identity crisis and its anyone's guess what styling they're picking moving forward. They just need to stop putting M badges on everything.

As for the looks, I'm one of the 50%

230i a much better daily
_Never ever believe the latest BMW (BMW/Supra) factory power ratings, IF they say 300kw@crank, its going to be closer to 300kw@wheels, just say'n_
Which means add 15%. And they tested it. This is a 345 kw car.
Nice, the tuning capability on this is going to be awesome. Would be great to do an 8Y RS3 comparison if you get the opportunity!
Rs for the win.that 5cyl 2.5l sounds amazing
@@kirkogier1145Sure does 👍👍
Love the new M2
My Brother picked his new red manual M2 up on Tuesday.
I can't wait for a drive.😎
PS Ross have you driven a F87 yet ?
338kw twin turbo AND 6 speed manual in essentially GO KART size, i bet that was SO much fun to rip around in 🤌
Go kart size, elephant weight.
That’s an awfully big go kart
lol@@BMW1M
lol, true that@@audriusbaranauskas6227
how does driving this compare to your F6 Typhoon? I wonder what the difference would be. Is the Bimmer much more fin?
one handles one doesnt lol

You had the perfect lead up for "Drop a gear... and dissapear" at the begining
It looks a hell of a lot better than the huge grille on the 4 series!!

I'd get auto for the quicker shifts
How much is $150,000 in Australia converted to American. In the states we pay $65,000 for the base and $75,000 for the carbon package
I like the looks, it reminds me of the retro 1980s styling.

Perfect for the 50kg Asian drug dealer 😂
First person who say this is not comfortable
Like those pumped rear guard's !

Nice to compare a manual Supra GTS
I like wide cars ..no one can ever call it a chick-car , if people still do that .
This is not a chick car
Fantastic video
Thanks 🙏

Looks for me are bleugh, but the drivability is very nice. If it didnt look so fat and lego like this car would be cool

It’s savagely harsh on the ride! It’s a track car
Who cares if ya first
If you ain't first, you're last.
@@willhodges8002 true
Wide arch’s look as if they have been stuck on by someone in his shed.
I counted 4 😂😮
Too heavy
Love
