Thank you very much Rik and Dom. Glad you liked the car and for next time, when you switch off the ignition, the DCT then automatically puts it into Park💪 Love the drone work BTW too🙏

See ....more trickery.........😀😀 great car , fun drive , its everything you want from a M car

German M2 Competition owner here and I just wanted to chime in on your discussion at timestamp 10:40. Before buying this car I didn't think the electronic limiter would bother me much. But the car gets up to 250 kph so effortlessly, I run into the limiter pretty much every time I'm on the Autobahn.

My frustration would be massive at that point .......as a piece of engineering the m2 is a good buy 👌 but the limiter is a bit of a sly way to extract more money out of the end user ( in my opinion 😉 )

BMW prices are just a list price go to a dealership they will give you a massive dealer contribution on a pcp, when I bought my M2 comp they gave me 11grand off list. It’s like you say down to monthly’s! Anyway I sold my M2 comp and replaced it with a Yaris GR

It's a strange way of doing business, but it obviously works for BMW, from a second market POV it just seems to kill its residual value though

It's NICEEEEEEEEE

Buy a used M2 comp, looks better than the new cars, just as good to drive, a better size and half the price of a new M4.

Really nicely made video chaps, agree with Dom, this is a "mega" car! New car pricing in general is now off the scale (nearly £50k for a specc'ed Golf R and £30K for a non-performance Golf with a few trinkets!) but low interest rates and discounts means PCP is the way seemingly most get into a nice car. Interesting point about whether we have in fact hit (and passed) "peak car".

It's quite mental how dear cars have become 🙈🙈

The gauges are analog, they just look digital. If you turn the car off and shine a flashlight at the instruments, you'll be able to see the teach and speedo complete with needles sitting on 0. The dials are just aggressively tinted and backlit (so you can see them through the tinting once you turn the car on.)

That is a lush M2... I'd like to see the post drive wash from CYR 👍🏼 The new G8X M3/M4 is a bit meh. Some days I wake up liking it, most other days I don't. If you're spending £90k it'll need to give me a rod-on, so no I'll probably pass and stick to my f82 😉

Good video gents! I've seen your GR Yaris reviews to date already. Mine is due end of the month and it's going to be my only/daily!! However, I've ordered the Convenience pack car 😉 For Dom, unless you're planning on regular trackdays, it might have been the better choice for the road and your "maturer" needs 😃. I've certainly become accustomed to modern day conveniences. The dunlops it comes on are coming off mine before collection. Suspension will be more road biased and the open diff's work fine with esc left on, especially once changing the tyres. The 2 torsens are relevant when esc is disabled, due to the car's clever electronics intervening first otherwise. Yes, needed for better track times and smoother power sliding, neither relevant to my usage. From this video, your negative comments towards your circuit pack would have possibly been resolved regarding suspension around town, stereo and speakers plus you get a UV windscreen and HUD, parking sensors front and rear, blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert and emergency braking to offset the shite rear three quarters visibility, discreet uplifting ambient lighting by inner door handles and a built-in sat nav without having an annoying cable attachment and mobile phone flying about, plus a guaranteed reception. Horses for courses. Of course that still won't make up for extra space, if needed, and/or German build quality. Thanks for the review 👍

Huge mistake not getting circuit pack. Even for general road use, you can feel the diffs at work when cornering hard, it's an absolute must.

@@stevenmcgeorge1983 Subjective opinion. I drove the circuit pack car demonstrator 3 times with esc on. Grip was great but too many compromises for me as a one car daily that I'll never track or disable esc. I don't need to be paying for bragging rights. I'm buying it for total planted grip all year round, not grip with slip/sliding. Correct choice for me. Circuit was ruled out for the reasons mentioned.

James what's your opinion on M2.

My Brother has a M2 with manual. Amazing cars. My pick for best used performance car. New no way. PS For GR like James said below the base GR is very comfortable vs Rallye or Circuit pack. PS I'm not trying to start a war with different version of GR but for people thinking about aweekend Toy/track car go Circuit pack but like me you don't care for that and want a Fast AWD CAR that's comfortable then lower models should be a option. It's a better Dailey and yes I use Dailey lose as the GR is not the best pick for a Dailey car.☺ PS Drive both if you can and just get what you feel suits you. PS Last new Kona N looks great. Hope you review it.😎

Yeah at least in aus the Rallye gets most options unlike UK. PS I saw a Rallye first time today while I went to the shops for milk. Looked lovely. PS I got the traction light flash first time today. It was windy 6 degrees and heavy rain plus in Sport mode so put it in Track mode. The Dunlops did ok I must admit but still upgrading them on alater date. 10 days for you James.😎

@@Dave-gl6jb The circuit pack demonstator's esc light flashed a few times in each of my drives with esc on. It didn't appear to affect the performance like it can on older cars though. Things have moved on... If that was still the case I'd have walked. I'm surprised you've only just seen it flash😁 P.s Very apt. Goes for milk, sees the milked version 😉

Is the countryside always Brown, is there any Green?

Why do people buy cars the same colour as the road with so many other nice colours available and it’s like camouflage harder to see on a dull rainy day so more chance of getting involved in an accident. 🤔

@Stallzyx

I'm sorry but the color argument not sure I can agree on you with, but then again my first car was grey and it ended up getting rear ended and written off. Somehow it's been repaired and back on the road it seems but it's still a big box of metal on the road it's not exactly invisible but yeah I think I'm gonna go with a more distinctive color next time!

No joy. Just my opinion but neither of you seem to be particularly absorbed or seduced by the M2. I wonder if you were parachuted into it without anything telling you what it is, whether you would want to buy it Rik. I remember driving one of the first M4s and thinking . . . nothing. Just parked it up and walked away never to think about it again, fast and capable but missed the point by a mile. I agree with your views on the new Ms, too expensive but list and depreciation can be masked by clever finance plans to ease the pain of your draining wallet and of course a styling disaster. Good real world view of the car though.
