- A long term review of my 2021 M2 Competition. In the two years of ownership the car has been daily driven, put on the Nurburgring and Hockenheimring, and taken road trips around western Germany.

I have a 2019 M2C with stage 2, full exhaust, etc and it's a game changer.
Just picked up a 2020 M2C with 11k miles. It’s completely stock. Any issues you have encountered during ownership? How hard do you drive the car? I’m hesitant to accelerate hard from a roll and people have said not to drive the car in D3 setting
@@ethanmj4277 my timing chain jumped at 42k miles. Bought a crank hub, professionally installed, & never looked back.
@@ethanmj4277 im about to get one and never heard of this, do you really not accelerate hard in D3? what could go wrong if u do?
From a completely stock standpoint, I agree with the initial power out of the factory and the stock suspension.I daily my F87 with the occasional track days in the warmer months of the north east US. Granted I went down the rabbit hole of a Öhlins coils, Mosselman hybrid turbos and upgraded fueling, along with a custom tune the car truly comes alive for me. The stock suspension was the night and day difference when I swapped over to coils and the hybrid turbos along with my Bend calibration custom tune gives me a street tune and a track appropriate one.
The F8x is a very common chassis you'll find at most tracks, it certainly can be a "nervous" chassis around certain turns that the G8x does better but the raw feeling and the looks has beyond made this car a keeper for me.
The S55 can definitely be a nasty powerful platform and good move with going with the Ohlins. Great set up that really settles the car down and makes it a bit more stable. glad you are enjoying it!
HM great vid and congrats on the new car! I used to work with your brothers at Bragg years ago. I was a C-130 loadmaster out of Charlotte nc ANG. Had a great times with those guys!
Thanks I appreciate it! And thank you for your service brother!
I mean its not a track car so not going to be ready for the track. I mean the fact that its a brake fluid and track pad away from beating it up on the track all day and have no issues that is pretty impressive. The stock pads are fine for daily and for easy tracks or novice drivers, they dust a lot though and if you beat on them they will definitely not be up to the task. Its a great car really. Congrats on the new one!
you are spot on!
Moomoo you are correct....a good buddy of mine bought a new Porsche GT3 that he tracks....he changed out brake fluid and pads...maybe even rotors. But love the M2.
Im about to buy this or G82 M4? Which one would you pick
I went from an F87 to a G80 M3 comp x drive and honestly, I do not regret to change at all. The car is more refined and a bit more comfortable. But then again I do miss the F87’s raw nature.
Yes i drove them both love the combination of the g80 comfort and sporty driving, but the f87 feels way more analog and raw. Love the dct over the zf, but mabey xhp flash could change that. Its a hard pick🥲
@@Madman568a remap of the ZF will get it up to the violence of the DCT. Hell even the CS/CSL map would make it a bit better. Doing the M driving experience I did find issues with the ZF when hitting the top of the rev range. The delay from paddle engagement to shifting was noticeable to the point I hit the redline fuel cut a couple of times. The DCT would engage immediately.
