This channel is evolving into something we've longed for a long time... something down-to-earth-average-kind-of-guy stuff presented for the down-to-earth-average-kind-of-guy.
I love how BMW actually pitches this car as a manual car. Go to their website and the vehicle pictured in the car's page on their website is equipped with the 6-speed manual.
You guys are awesome, I really like this format. All 3 cars are my current favs. and you have a pro driver doing hot laps! If i could spam like i would. I also really liked the "what's it like to live with this car" review.
William B Straya, you're now allowed a full license until age 21, before that we have around two years with a learner license and then 3 with probationary, you'd hope it'd make people better drivers but you wouldn't know from the way mums on school runs drive.
Great Review! I bought a 2015 M4 with most of the fixings and given price and the general opinion of most reviews, wish I would've got The M2 instead. The only thing Im not big on is the lack of options for the interior.
what is that noise at the end of each shift... is sounds like the speaker is thumping.. doesn't sound very good.. does it sound like that in real life? thanks in advance for the answer
Actually, the enchanced sound through the speakers is NOT something you can find on the M2! The M3 and M4 do on the other hand. The change in pitch is the active exhaust valve opening up. I disagree with the bad stock sound. Just listen to 7:14. True Eargasm!
Hey TFLcar! I was wondering if you could take the Kia Soul (!) around the track and do a 0-60mph video against another compatible car. Maybe against the Renegade? That would be awesome!
So how do you know with bmws if the engine is warmed up? None of them have a cold hot temp rather there is an engine oil temp gauge. But, with 2 series and this m2 you don't even get that. I don't understand how you're supposed to know what's going on when these 2 series and m2 only have rpm, speedo, and fuel gauge. Less is not more in this situation.
They both look amazing. Depends on what your using the car for. If driven on trips, the M2 will be more practical. If just driving for fun, I would go 718 Boxster.
Enjoyed the video very much, and I agree M2= best BMW on sale today. Please keep making videos like this! Oh and use a Dyno Jet next time for the love of God :)
Can't stand electric assisted steering and based on this video you all should see the problem: No feel. With no feel what does this imply for safety???
That's because we could overlook the little complaints when we considered the outright speed and balance... It broke the track record after all, it has to be hot :)
+scanspeak00 Camaro SS 718 Cayman F type starts at about $65,000 I think but beats everyone on class and looks I'm guessing the camaro soundly beats the M2, although I'm not really onboard with pushrods.
+Nik Brudar not so sure Motor trend compared the M4 to the Camaro SS and like the Camaro better. Everyone seems to like the M2 better than the M4, so M2 vs Camaro SS sounds like an interesting comparison to me.
This is not a good value proposition my base Si has more features and tech than this man and is way more affordable. I think Focus RS will give this car stiff competition
The Fast Lane Car No, I meant the ratios seem long haha! But okay, you've already answered it anyway. I was wrong then. At what speed does it hit redline in 2nd gear?
+Josh Briggs Its just the shitty quality of the camera used to record the sound, look up other videos of the M2's exhaust and you'll be surprised how terrible the camera quality is in this video
thats as basic and light weight as it will get, it has the original formula that the started with like the e30 just my opinion bro and manual trans we all kno will be gone soon.
What you said is a blasphemy and a total lie. This car sounds better than 90% other cars. There may be an issue with your audio gear or, simply, your ears.
Nik Brudar I agree. The M2 straight six sounds great. Running it on poor petrol won't help the engine note, but I think the main problem is the US guys are tone deaf from having listened to too many cement mixer V8's.🙉🙉🙉
As great as this car seems to be. It is just like the 1M. YOU CANNOT GET YOUR HANDS ON ONE. I mean why produce such a great car and then only produce a small amount of them. It ends up just being nothing other than car wan* material for M car lovers on youtube.

+Phil Jones
Nothing say average joe like a $150,000 jaguar.
touché...
+Phil Jones We are glad you like it!
+The Fast Lane Car for top gear UK presenter!
Track? What track? Looks like a karting track.
Man I love the sounds this car makes
I love how BMW actually pitches this car as a manual car. Go to their website and the vehicle pictured in the car's page on their website is equipped with the 6-speed manual.
this channel is getting better!
You guys are awesome, I really like this format. All 3 cars are my current favs. and you have a pro driver doing hot laps! If i could spam like i would. I also really liked the "what's it like to live with this car" review.
I gotta say, I love that car. Shame it's not legal in my country to own it until I'm 21.... Plus I'm broke as hell.
where?
William B Straya, you're now allowed a full license until age 21, before that we have around two years with a learner license and then 3 with probationary, you'd hope it'd make people better drivers but you wouldn't know from the way mums on school runs drive.
well atleast it lowers your chances of crashing
Great Review! I bought a 2015 M4 with most of the fixings and given price and the general opinion of most reviews, wish I would've got The M2 instead. The only thing Im not big on is the lack of options for the interior.
I like the new show guys, keep them coming! Do the new VW GTI hot or not please!!
Please have Paul take the new 2015/2016 BMW X5M around the track. XDrive AWD almost 600HP & 560LBFT TQ.
good job
Nice one, just one small feedback regarding in studio audio setup, try and improve this by using lav mic instead of boom mic for less echo
+supernova1976 Thank you for your feedback.

Drove car at Thermal CA - great car
Beamers always more fun to drive than Audis ..A real drivers car, on my wish list this baby.
"Snow tires"??
Are you freakin serious dude?
great review , loving this series ! I want this m2 thx for the coverage
cool to compare a 1m to the 2m in your track..!!
great review, awesome car
I thought you guys were located in Colorado. What is with the Jersey plates?
it does have that rev- match feature right?
Interesting show. I'll be back to watch more. I'd prefer you get rid of the overly loud heavy guitars
do y'all ever do Audi track tests and comparison's
Nice video guys. Please do a review of the 2016 Bmw 340xi M sport with the 19 in 403m wheels with the adaptive suspension.
What do you think? This, or the gt350? I know they're different cars but oh well haha
This car sounds amazing..
sounds awesome
Do a review of the 2016 WRX sti.....
Hey TFLcar! I was wondering if you could take the Kia Soul (!) around the track and do a 0-60mph video against another compatible car. Maybe against the Renegade? That would be awesome!
what happened to nathan, tfl?
i have to beg my wife for a year to get this but it would be so worth it , next M classic !
+Jesus Monarrez no way this will be an M classic. Those ages died with the E92 M3 and 1-series M Coupe.
+Blake Odenheimer You're wrong. This along with the M4 GTS is bringing M back to a whole new level.
X46 plate, homage to the epic one!
Yes yes it is. On and cracking baby
Torque MONSTER!!!
My M235i is $52625, this M2 is like $55000. Shame on BMW! Damn it!
your m235i is now worth half thanks to the m2 release
these guys tell like it is thumbs ☝ up
So how do you know with bmws if the engine is warmed up? None of them have a cold hot temp rather there is an engine oil temp gauge. But, with 2 series and this m2 you don't even get that. I don't understand how you're supposed to know what's going on when these 2 series and m2 only have rpm, speedo, and fuel gauge. Less is not more in this situation.
+raph0412
Yup, I'm really gentile to my GTI until I see the temperature is up to operating temperature. Definitely a gauge that should be kept.
its an honest lil car.......BMW.....You need to get your shit together.
glad he has is GPS open, in case he gets lost on the track. :)
Similar concept to top gear track lap times
@ sea level, would it run a sub 5 second 0-60?
Yes
Mike Halpert Thanks
Love this format! but damn 55k for this m2? no thank you... I'll get the shelby gt350... probably less money in maintenance as well
I want one, this vs 718 boxster?
This
+Jeff K Previous generation Cayman or Boxter. Go for a test drive.
They both look amazing. Depends on what your using the car for. If driven on trips, the M2 will be more practical. If just driving for fun, I would go 718 Boxster.
can you test the new focus sr too ? :)
+Zoltan Csaba Szasz Yes, we are trying to get on soon!
Enjoyed the video very much, and I agree M2= best BMW on sale today.
Please keep making videos like this!
Oh and use a Dyno Jet next time for the love of God :)
this is the imi motorsports complex in Colorado right?
+Lin Lu yes
a wr250 supermoto with street tires can do 58sec here... guess its too small for cars
Racing on the track without a helmet !?
💥🚙💨💨💨🙈
focus rs for this would be great
+Eric Golpe
probably more manic, maybe more fun, definitely impress the ladies less.
i like it
Can't stand electric assisted steering and based on this video you all should see the problem: No feel. With no feel what does this imply for safety???
Nice car but personally I prefer the N54 engine over the N55 and b58 over both of them
lmao sounds like a baseball card in the spooks, man is that what BMW is producing now. it's a POPSICLE !!!
Amy is fat
Made a lot of not so good feedbacks then gave it a "hot" rating, wtf. I'm confused.
That's because we could overlook the little complaints when we considered the outright speed and balance... It broke the track record after all, it has to be hot :)
What is the M2s main competition? Jag F type?
CLA45, S3 saloon. F-type too, but not a direct competitor.
+Nik Brudar It would probably be closer to a RS3 if we got that. But yeah, S3 since we don't.
+scanspeak00
Camaro SS
718 Cayman
F type starts at about $65,000 I think but beats everyone on class and looks
I'm guessing the camaro soundly beats the M2, although I'm not really onboard with pushrods.
Jeff K Camaro is in no way a (worthy) competitor of an M2.
+Nik Brudar
not so sure Motor trend compared the M4 to the Camaro SS and like the Camaro better. Everyone seems to like the M2 better than the M4, so M2 vs Camaro SS sounds like an interesting comparison to me.
This is not a good value proposition my base Si has more features and tech than this man and is way more affordable. I think Focus RS will give this car stiff competition
Audio on the track bits sounds awful, sounds like you have a mic by the exhaust but it just sounds like a cacophony of wind and exhaust.
BMW will not fix all these negative things in the car
This car seems no shorter geared than the GT4 .. Is that true or are my senses failing me?
+Nik Brudar You are right, the gearing is short on the M2. We cannot comment on the GT4 as we have not driven it.
The Fast Lane Car No, I meant the ratios seem long haha! But okay, you've already answered it anyway. I was wrong then. At what speed does it hit redline in 2nd gear?
Troy Strain What the hell are you talking about?
Troy Strain You obviously weren't talking about 'sarcasm'. Learn to answer the question correctly.
Troy Strain You really are a stain of society. Vanish oxi action should do wonders.
I thought the BMW i8 had the track record of 1.02?
+Nathan Spence No, the i8 was in the 1:06 range.
+The Fast Lane Car oh ok. my bad.
I appreciate its performance but it's ugly as sin and this exhaust note is unbearable to be kind. I'd have to have something different
+Josh Briggs Exactly. I would get E92 M3.
+Josh Briggs -- "people doing dumb things" !!
Paul Niks huh?
+Josh Briggs -- M2 = Not brilliant idea
+Josh Briggs Its just the shitty quality of the camera used to record the sound, look up other videos of the M2's exhaust and you'll be surprised how terrible the camera quality is in this video
HOT!!!!!!
this vs the f type s
thats as basic and light weight as it will get, it has the original formula that the started with like the e30 just my opinion bro and manual trans we all kno will be gone soon.
Rather save $ and get a used v8 M3
What's that farting noise you hear?
My dream :)
But... I can't afford it😂😳😩😥
1:50
That might be the worst engine/exhaust note I've ever heard
Sounds like a vacuum ate a racoon
+Nissan TitanWarrior I didn't realize vacuum cleaners were carnivores.
What you said is a blasphemy and a total lie. This car sounds better than 90% other cars. There may be an issue with your audio gear or, simply, your ears.
Nik Brudar I agree. The M2 straight six sounds great. Running it on poor petrol won't help the engine note, but I think the main problem is the US guys are tone deaf from having listened to too many cement mixer V8's.🙉🙉🙉
MrKeyboardCommando Hahah you couldn't have said it better!
Nik Brudar Thank you.

Imhate the fake sound
The price of it can buy mustang 350
Mustang? Pffft!
+Bred Saint go and review the new Mustang 350R
+emwa3d
Ok

OMG! The car is farting.

+Hing holo

Jeff K truth. Old BMWs were sexy as fuck the new ones are fugly
Thomas Rock e36 m3 was fucking sick but these new ones aren't.
+Thomas Rock different people have different taste mate.
