      No it's not. I had an M135i with a manual and I got sick of it after 2 months. Recently upgraded to an M140i with the 8ZF transmission and it's just much fucking better for efficiency, speed and it's so much more fun

    The reason the m2 is the best M car on sale today bc it's BMW original formula
    Light
    Nimble
    analog as much as possible
    Power
    Feel
    And simplicity

      @tornut24 Před 7 lety

      Mike Arredondo It isn't analog as much as possible. It's got that stupid automatic rev matching and hill assist. But turn those features off, and this car is pretty sweet

    • @mdcohen
      @mdcohen Před 7 lety +2

    • @fooanonymous
      @fooanonymous Před 7 lety +13

      Vivek Anand I agree, I would be even more impressed with the M2, if that's indeed how fast it was. Alas, Doug is mistaken: the DCT does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, and the manual he is presenting in 4.5. Biiig difference to 4.0 in this car segment.

    • @fitnesspoint2006
      @fitnesspoint2006 Před 6 lety +23

    Dang it, Doug. You didn't mention the 2 Series only odd quirk. The driver seat is off-center. It is rotated to the right a few milimeters. During crash testing, they discovered that the dummy's head would slip between the curtain airbag and steering wheel airbag in a small overlap test, which could lead to fatal head injuries. Reengineering the car so this wouldn't happen would cost millions to redesign the dashboard, sterring column, floor pan, ect. BMW's simple solution was to mount the seat at an angle, so that a larger portion of the dummy's head would hit the sterring wheel airbag.

  • @epiczeus945
    @epiczeus945 Před 7 lety +48

    However, if you're young and looking for an affordable M car you're better off looking for a nice used 2005 E46 M3. It's .5 inches longer than the M2, and 2 inches narrower, so it's just as tossable, more even because you have a real connection to the road. You can get them with SMG's or Manual. They don't have that awful electrically assisted steering. They're naturally aspirated so you don't have to worry about paying out the ass after your crappy 4 year, 50,000 mile BMW warranty runs out and the turbo goes out.(Really BMW?) I'll never get rid of my E46 M3. I already have a replacement engine and transmission in storage, fully rebuilt and waiting for the current ones to go fail., all for far less than a new M2....

    • @LegendInThaMakin

    • @sdlausen1
      @sdlausen1 Před 7 lety +3

      Yeah... I'd be dead afraid of owning an M2 past warranty. BMW's already have expensive maintenance at higher mileage and this one adds the complications of forced induction.

    • @craigmak
      @craigmak Před 7 lety +6

      +LegendInThaMakin you must be blind. It's widely accepted as one of the most beautiful and ageless designs BMW has made.

    • @craigmak
      @craigmak Před 7 lety +2

      Same, I DDed my e46 M3 for 8 years and still love it. It's finally off DD duty with 160k miles. I just gave it a DR Vanos Hub and don't plan to ever sell. It's getting old and rare now. In perfect condition at age 15 I get compliments every single time I take it out. Way more than when it was new and expensive. It's now an enthusiast car instead of a rich dbag car. If the M2 will ever depreciate I'd like to pick one up though. That or a Cayman.

    • @epiczeus945
      @epiczeus945 Před 7 lety +2

      The E46 M3 is consistently rated as the best M car BMW ever made. To me it was the last great M car. It's a NA high revving straight six, and while the E90/E92/E93 were good cars they really took away from the joy and design by being 8 cylinders. The current F30, while beautiful in its own right, is a twin turbo nightmare. My BMW mechanic has always said they're not worth it and cusses whenever he has one in his shop. I had my BMW at his shop getting an oil change recently and someone had an M4 in there getting a $7500 turbo repair. Forced induction is really not worth it. If BMW had a 100,000 mile warranty it'd be worth it, but honestly I think BMW makes more money off of factory maintenance than they do off of selling their cars.
