  • The BMW M2 was my favorite modern BMW ever made. However the newest on is a little bit bigger, heavier, and well...might not look the best for everybody. So let's talk about it.

    The bolted on widescreen display on the dash is lazy design. The previous generation F series had a much nicer and more integrated dash. It's even worse in the X series because it's bigger. Hate the lack of physical buttons. I own a couple of BMW's and seriously thinking about ditching the brand because the design is so poor. Love the manual though.

Congratulations BMW, you finally made a non-hybrid that doesn't look like a Camry with a mustache! Good for you. Still would rather avoid BMWs because I don't trust their long-term reliability at all, but this is the most appealing thing they've made in decades IMO.

It doesn't need to be the same formula as the e46 or any other generation. If you want one of those or an e92?. Buy one of them while you still can. Had one of each. They're great cars, but I've moved on. What it lacks in feel it makes up for in raw power and modern comfort.

    Modern car makers are sadly stuck thinking these screens are nice or cool. They suck so bad and they are gonna date the cars like hell in a few years

    Its like BMW is putting more effort into their engines than their design language.

    What they did to the looks of the M3, 4 and 2 are a travesty. Idc about the power plants, but damn they looked so good in the previous gen.

    I’m sure this car can run circles around the previous gen M2 but man was that car gorgeous compared to this thing (emphasis on thing)

    The design language has way more personality than the rest of their coupes and sedan.
    It also feels JDMish (?) with its body kit so I get why a lot of folk do not like it
