I'm a BMW Fan boy, great lap record 🎉🎉well done BMW M division... I think BMW would get sub 7 minutes lap records if they work on Aerodynamics. BMW cars already have great mechanical grip so if only they do aerodynamics like the Porsche 992 gt3 rs and the new mustang gtd it will be a great car that will break and hold records for a long time
@@timothy6049 A CTR S Grade did this a second slower. BMW's main competition is Mercedes and Audi, and the RS3 was faster. Despite having AWD, the RS3 weighs less, and is down on power over the M2. This is a second slower than a 500hp Z28 Camaro from 2013 (10 years ago). The M2 weighs 3,800 lbs now, and is basically a SWB M4 with the same weight. Nothing special here.
Congrats on getting the lap record. I do have to say, is 1,8 tons considered a compact car now? I feel like there should be a weight limit to what the compact class is.
Actually do u really know what compact is? It’s about fitting a a lot in a small space, so if it’s weighs even more that means it’s even more compact, definitely makes it a worse car but compact doesn’t mean light weight
@@BMWROYAL perhaps not, but compact classed cars have always meant small (or to the smaller side), nimble and lightweight, let's not lie to ourselves here
That's why this is no longer an M2. An M2 is supposed to be a handful to handle - that is its character. This new version is quick but doesn't make it the best. Weighs more than a previous gen M5. BMW have the ingredients all wrong for this latest car (notice I didn't say M2 because its not one).
@@DannySarbs I had a manual 2023 Supra I didn’t like it Toyota doesn’t know to tune the suspension It was too twitchy no confidence while driving I bought because it seemed like the best BMW light small b58 sub 60k in reality it’s only good if you want to go fast in a straight line which it did made a lot of muscle cars mad
You can tell a great driver for making time look… easy and fluid between turns. Also great job BMW, for making a car that can be a daily driver AND beat yesterdays super cars.
I have watched countless videos on boards, tutorials, 100s of laps i iracing, and i have to say this is some of the best and sharpest driving ive seen yet, taught me a few things!
@@BMWMyh nice car but what about making a sports car which ways less than 1500kg, ideally below 1400kg although that might be difficult with the regulations today
But the suspension feels like shit on the road exactly because manufacturers like BMW tune the car for Nordschleife lap times and not for every day comfort. I bought a 2020 M2C but the ride was terrible, I sold it after only 5,000 miles. The older M cars were far more comfortable. The Nordschleife lap time tuning is ruining modern sports cars.
I along with many other people do not agree with the way M is going with their designs and just their cars overall, but the M2 is an exception. It looks really weird, but it’s pretty cool. And this lap is very impressive too.
Tire size and power are the biggest differences for that lap time. Still a hideous rendition of an M car. I would take an f87 m2 over this a million times over. I own one anyways.

Mostly tires made the difference between the Lambo, and @@B__L I think you mean 1 second slower. The Honda CTR S Grade did it in a second slower using the same tire (MPSC2) and some light weighting (probably less than 50lbs), but it really goes to show what 800lbs less weight can do for handling. Audi RS3 was faster too, which says a lot considering it is AWD and the M2 is not, yet the M2 is heavier. Back to the drawing room boys.
All credits to BMW but you still gotta give it to the Civic Type R, A whole ass 135 HP Down (44%) but only 6 second slower than this as the M2 Pulled a whole 3 seconds Over the Civic on the last straight
The Civic Type R was actually a factory modified Type R S Grade that is stripped in the interior and is lighter than the regular Type R. It doesn't even have an infotainment system. And then you have a Civic that you spent over 50k on.
As these guys said, the civic wasn't stock. The CTR posted within 1 mph of a 400hp PDK Carrera 4S on the long straight. Sounds like a lot of extra boost to me!
Always been curious with these new BMWs, especially M models, what is the thumping sound on upshifts particularly the higher rpm upshifts? May be a dumb question but certainly sounds different then other cars.
This car is amazing, but the people that drive this track are something else. Like these dudes do your best lap on the sim but in real life. Like what?!
Although an impressive achievement, which I congratulate M for, this is as much of a compact car as the Toyota GT-One was a road car. "Yes, technically"
Looking at the trees, I see no leaves. So when was this lap driven? Surely not during summer 2023. Maybe March 2023 ??? Why did you wait like 4-5 months to publish it?
The track data lags behind the video by almost a second. What is the point of having it there if I can't get any meaningful information from it? I expected better from official BMW M.
Even BMW embarrassed by new M2 look. They used a drawing which does look better than the real thing. @BMW M Sorry for that but previous M2 was too nice!
wow very impressive speed! I am wondering about not hitting red line on upshifts but maybe the curves show that isn't necessary. in that way pretty low stressed result. congratulations ///M for such a heavy car! awesome!
Suspension was set to "SPORT". This mode is optimised for the Nürburgring Nordschleife, You would use "SPORT+" e.g. for the Nürburgring Grand Prix race track. Engine mode was also set to "SPORT" because of the linear power application.
