the brake by wire system is compensating for fade altering the pedal travel to brake pressure curve. obviously there will be a fade point, probably rather quickly fade faster after that point?

Super hyped for what's to come with this bad ass M2!

Happy to see how you push it to the limit. I wanted to wait for the release of the G87 M2 but my fear was the dealer markups here in California and needing to go out of state for it

first person actually driving M2 instead of complaining about looks..looking forward for more M2 videos

Nice driving, good lines and great analysis. Keep up the good work.

Man I should've went out yesterday. Was a nice day out too. Seeing you easily get 1:30s makes me jealous. I only had 10 min of track time there and stuck at 1:42. Went off a little at patience, got a little sideways on the rubles and broke a rear control arm along with bending my steering wheel sideways within 10 min of my first session out. I know I can do high 1:30s next time I go out there. Congrats on the car and excited to see the development of it in your hands.

Thank you for sharing the new video, Jackie. 👍👍👍I am really looking forward to seeing you push the new M2 to its limits step by step. Regarding the tires, although they are all PS4S, I remember that Michelin has a specially reinforced compound for the M cars in the G generation, and the OE PS4S on the M2 is probably better than the ones sold in the general market. Anyway, the M2 is really unexpectedly good and should not be judged by its appearance. 😅It's a pity that it's so heavy, and I am really excited to see you start the lightweight process.😍

How would add neg camber on the G87? Is there enough play in the LCA to get an additional 1degree?

Impressive. Is this braking system the same as a G80? I thought the pedal feel was inconsistent with the M3 and the brake feel, due to brake by wire, will probably not "fade" in the traditional sense. But very impressive that they didn't fade.

I feel bmw has chassis and brake tuning down really good, but at a compromize. But maybe chassis tuning comes at a cost like lets say bmw has high center of gravity. Toyota supra seems to have them beat there. Also bmw has optimized gearing for its power, which may mean longer gears. Thats where the supra may have the bmw beat also, supra with more aggressive shorter gears.

Talking about a steering feel is the job of automotive journalists. Racing drivers don't care about steering feel as long as it turns the front wheels, lol. ZF felt fine, fairly standard operations. It's a little more aggressive shifting than the ZF in the Supra and has more shifting algorithms to choose from but feels similar.

@@JackieDing86 respectively disagree :) for me good steering feel makes a world of difference on track and makes oversteer correction, understeer prevention etc. much more about senses vs. intuition (your intuition is mighty fine I will say!) It does sound like the ZF in the M2 is better than most, I wonder if it’s improved over the M4? I drove one on track and found it too slow (even to the point I was bouncing off the limiter)…

This is why you can’t assume anything based on just weight. A heavier car with excellent chassis, suspension, brakes, and aero can perform better than a lighter car that’s otherwise inferior

I usually always drive with TC fully off.

Only a comment on the tyres: That are NOT stock PS4s. That's a special BMW Version which is closer on a Michelin Cup2 tyre than a normal PS4s. That's also the reason why you will have so much grip. So perhaps with new tyres you are not as much faster as you expect.

A modern BMW is inferior in many ways to the 20 year old S2000. Weight: literally 1,000 pounds heavier. Suspension design: simplistic and compromised compared to the double wishbone suspension on the s2000. Wheelbase: extra long vs quite short. Pros and cons here, but the really long wheelbase has downsides too. Obviously, it wins when it comes to stock power, stock brakes, stock suspension, etc.... It's a performance car 2 decades newer and just about double the price. However, give that S2000 a similar amount of power with a transmission that can handle it (8hp and DCT swaps are a thing now too, btw) and upgraded brakes and suspension, and you're going to see way different results.
