Nick's first point here is ON POINT. The simplicity and lack of options allows people to simply drive and enjoy...couldn't agree more.

Great reviews on cars and choppers with a dash of humor. We really enjoy your videos which tend to disprove the theory that Kiwis cant fly.Keep up the good work and cheers from NZ.

One of your best reviews Nick, great job. Thought you hit many key points, especially about the interior and the real size difference.

Nick, your reviews are amazing.Today is becoming more and more rare to see a realistic review like yours are. You are very knowledgeable on Porsches. I would love to see a 997 review from you. I think many people will find it interesting if you can compare head to head 997.2 to a 991.1 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Good review vid overall. Both amazing machines and I gotta say, your picture quality in this vid is the best I've seen!

We love you Nick. Keep it up your detailed reviews and fantastic cinematography!

Glad you like it Nick 🖒🖒🖒

A perfect car to this day!

Awesome review, thank you soo much Nick. I'm now "today" the proud owner of a 16' M2 6-spd. Your honest review assured me that my new and very first BMW, first "M" purchased was an excellent choice. Remember the review you did back in 15? Audi S3 "Daytona" Launch edition. . .well that is the car I just sold to get the M2 & purchased after viewing your vid even back then Cheers-ADR

Good job Nick, thanks for another great review

Nick you are EASY in my Top 3 most FAV youtubers! love your quality videos i enjoy every single 1 of them! keep up the good work sir :) cant wait for the porsche to arrive!

Great music for a video on this car. Another short and sweet review! Keep up the great work....if one can call it that!

Nice review Nick! Son just picked up 2018 M2! With introduction of the Competition model, regular M2 prices dipped. He was able to pick up a CPO model with 1100 original miles. He’s ecstatic with the vehicle! Have your blessing didn’t hurt! 😜...keep up the stellar and concise reviews!

Great review as always and big shout out to the Commodore 64 T-shirt

You're right about the fronts and backs of these cars. The M2 is lacking in the back and I think a big part of it is how the fin extends off the trunk on the M4. Looks great.

Great review bro and the quality of the video is fantastic.

my first computer was a commodore 64 .. awesome tshirt ! thanks for the review !

I know this is sort of an old video now but as a former 1 series owner the M2 still fascinates me and I will definitely test drive one when it comes time for my next ride in a year or two. I am frustrated by the lack of adaptive suspension though and have heard that the overly stiff ride on bumpy roads (of which I have plenty around me) is a negative. With the new Audi RS3 being so good it might end up in my driveway just because it will make the better daily.

great review as usual Nick !

It looks so awesome from the outside but I just feel like that interior is pretty uninspiring especially for 50k.

Totally agree. Would be a lot better if there was an option to have white/beige leather - think it would make the interior look far less cramped. I sat in one of these 2 weeks ago and for someone 6'3 I definitely felt claustrophobic (particularly compared to the M3 I sat in 5 minutes later)

Spot on review Nick, you know you're stuff.

I really enjoy your reviews. Thanks for this one. Bear in mind, the lack of buttons to your right by the gear shifter compared to your M4 is in part due to the lack of DCT in this car. I have a '15 235i with some Dinan bits. Really been tempted to trade up to this but Im holding out for the competition package hopefully next year. Cheers!

It's incredible that the two cars have similar width. The M2 looks absolutely tiny in comparison in the video. I'm currently shaking with nostalgia. Not only because of the c64 tshirt but also the music. I kept thinking about entering a space station after installing a docking computer for the first time. Have a great day, Nick.

I hate commenting on KZread but I'm glad to hear your opinion on the car, great video as always. -M235 owner

Great video as alway dude, great to hear a kiwi accent! you are right it is a fabulous drive!

Great video! Thanks for being fair and honest in your reviews. I do own a 2017 M2 6MT so I'm a touch biased, lol. I was actually looking at the new M3, but after pricing the options for it, it was way more than I could afford. They happened to have my future M2 in the showroom floor so I started learning about it right then. I have days I wish I could have afforded the M3, but for no particular reason I think just to say I have the M3 and the S55 engine. I have read that performance is extremely close between M2 and M3/M4 so that made me feel better inside. I then learned other things that made the M2 maybe better than other current M cars, so overall I have been satisfied with my purchase. Your M4 is beautiful. I had too many people that pretty much said I'm not even in the same breath as a M3/M4 and I wanted to tell them, really??? Look up the data, lol. I am looking at the Dinan Stage 2 power package which I may get some time this year. Thanks again for the video!!

Looking at M2 now. thanks for the review.

Excellent review, Nick! I was waiting very patiently for you to do this. Ordering mine soon. Thank you Sir!(also can you do an R22 review when you get a chance? Thanks!)

Good review Nick. I think the M2 is the better choice for a drivers car compared to the M4. The M4 just got too big (4" longer than the e90?). Love the aggressive look of the 2 as well. I was actually eyeing the M2 to replace my e46 m3, but when the official specs came out I saw that it was as heavy as thr m4 but with 60 less HP, so I immediately turned my focus to a 997 C2s (which was my ultimate goal anyway). I wouldn't trade my 911 for an m2 (in fact, I will never drive front engine again) but if I needed 4 seats, this is the one. Also great commentary regarding the CLA. Total econobox POS compared to these other cars.

Completely agree. If I didn't need the back seats I'd go with the 997 or a Cayman GTS (although a bit pricey right now).

Great video Nick love your style.

The blue Danube is a beautiful song grate choice. Love to drive this car on a mountain road it's that in the background

Great video. Glenns Car Collection owns an M2 just like this and he does a lot of long term ownership reviews on it and comparison tests

Great review Nick!!

That colour is amazing! really compliments the M2. I need a new car, maybe add the M2 to the list of cars to look at..

Top review Nick of the BEST M car ever made!!!!

To me the best M currently available. It also increased hope that the next M5 will top everything.

Hey dude! I thought I owned the only red M4 in Fairfield county! Nice job, thanks!

Great as always Nick. Throw em both on Lime Rock and the M2's weight advantage takes the win. BTW I hope you're getting some track time at LRP..

How does the single turbo setup feel compared to the twin turbo in the M4 ( is it more laggy in one vs the other) ? Does the M2 pull hard to redline better or does the M4?

I got a question, would you trade the M4 in for the M2

Hey Nick! Great review as always. Is there much of a difference between this and the m235i you reviewed, I have the latter and was wondering on the difference in performance, how much better does the m2 sound in person? There difficult to get a hold to test drive one in the uk. Thanks

Great review Nick 👍🏻

Thanks for doing these, we all wanted to see. Notice that Strauss creeping into the vids, good choice 😉

Great review Nick!

@nick Murray great review as always. I know you are a huge fan of deviated stitching. However what are your opinions of the comfort of the m2 seats compared to your m4. Seems like the seats are the standard sport seats from an f30 perhaps? The seats in the f82 look far superior and I know they feel great. Your opinion?

Nick, BMW no longer offers the 4 year/50,000 mile maintenance program. It is now 3 year/36,000 mile with several exclusions.

Commodore 64!! Love the shirt! Do you remember the Commodore Vic 20?? That was my first computer. Learned BASIC on it. I believe it had 20k of memory LOL.

Nick, what do you think of the 2018 version of the M2, especially with regards to styling (electronic dashboard, LED adaptive headlights)?

It really is fantastic that BMW offer a spectacular driver’s car at a better price by far than it’s competitors. I also like that the M2 is not overwhelmed by buttons and choices. A real gem, I love mine despite having been a Porsche nut for 12 years.

That white-gray lettering on the dials seems like a reminiscence to the E46 M3. They horse power of the M2 and E46 M3 are also quite the same.

great review, always enjoy watching your videos.👍👍 can you please do a review on Mclaren 570s. rwally interested in your opinion on the 570s. thanks from your fan in San francisco😊😊

Great review Nick. Just wondering if you would recommend trading a base manual 991 for an M2?

Fantastic review. Which mount do you use inside for the dslr? -Ben

How much you think this car will be worth in 2020/2021? I'm eyeing this car in a couple years, having picked up an awesome 135i coupe last month for £15k.

Nick, have you reached out to BMW Individual to see if there are any customization options, perhaps adding nicer leather, covering the dashboard, alcantara headliner?

Awesome car! It's definitely on my short list. The Cayman as well.

Nicely done as always. I really enjoy your reviews. This one is special to me because my M2 gets built next week and I have been curious as to what your thoughts would be about it especially since you have so much experience in the M4. I am also a little irritated that they decided to go with Dakota leather versus the much nicer leather that is in the other M cars but as you point out its tough to beat the overall value of the M2 so I will learn to live with it. I am a bit concerned about the lack of contrast in the gauges, I don't understand why BMW went that direction, I will bet we will see a change in that area when they do the LCI. Thanks again for the review.

Congrats on your new M. I am sure you will love it.

Nick, nice video and picture quality inside the car is awesome! Which camera and mount you are using? It completely blows GoPro away.

Ok I am 45 seconds into this. And your t-shirt is awesome! Although I think you are little young for C64 I appreciate the representation!

What a coincidence - early in the morning I've watched your old M235i review and now you upload this, brilliant! By the way, how does the M2 compare to the M235i? For someone considering the latter one, is it worth paying more and getting the M2? And as always, great review Nick. One of the best automotive channels here on YT. Keep it going!

@ 8:30 - Agreed that the leather feels like vinyl and isn't at all tactily pleasing or sumptuous. However, on the upside it WEARS remarkably. I have an '06 330Xi with the Dakota Leather and the stuff looks brand new. It is almost impervious to cracks, fade or shine and still looks new after 10 years (and 75,000 miles).

Thank you for your Nice review! How would you compare the M2 to the M235i/M240i? Is the M2 really 10000$ better than the M235? Thanks !

Nothing on driving dynamics?! Appreciate your thoughts on interior, space, and practicality though.

This could most definitely be my first CT purchase!

I love it. Best looking modern BMW.

I'd definitely get the Gran Coupe version when it comes out.

Cracking review bro👍👍🏿👏🏿

I went from a 320 to a 120 msport and loved it

Lovin ur videos sir! What do u think of the M2 Competition?

Great review Nick, but I'm amazed how there are so few options for the M2 in the US. In the UK we have all these options that can be added ......... HK stereo, enhanced bluetooth, electric glass sunroof, sun protection glass, folding mirrors, heated steering, electric seats, heated seats, lumber seats, adaptive headlights, high beam assist, comfort access, speed limit display, reversing camera.

+Nick Murray I don't think a sunroof belongs on the M2. Nice and Spartan; purpose built.

love the M2 content

I was hoping it would have nicer sportier seats also I thought it would be more than 50-150 lbs lighter. I guess they couldn't go too crazy with it then it would be faster than the m4.

Hey Nick. how does it compare to an M235i. mine is stage 1 tuned at 400 hp. so power shouldn't be a difference. I mean is it really so different (better) to drive?

Off topic but This is the first time I've seen you accurately capture the the color of the sakhir orange m4. Usually In Your videos it's VERY red.

Hi Nick, how about the misalignment of the drivers seat related to the steering axis of the steering wheel. Some reviewers said, that they got mad about that and they assumed that BMW might have done it due to crash safety in case of a side impact. Did you notice this misalignment? BR

Very similar to e46 m3 I feel. Would love to get one but love my e46 m3 so much

how is the sound? I own the current M3 and was expecting sound comparison. Did they improve on synthetic cabin sound?

Nick I know once you option it out a Cayman GTS would be farrr more expensive than this M2 but would you still choose the M2 over the Cayman S or Cayman GTS?

Are the seats narrower in the M2 than the M4?

I'd love to see a test of the new M240i!

I think the drivers package is not a total ripoff.. (at least not in germany ;) )The training that you get focuses on maneuvers which come in very handy when driving on the Autobahn at 270km/h (lane changes, etc..). I love your reviews!

Thanks for the great review.. although I'm confused with your accent here?! Where are you originally from?

M2 looks awesome, I want one.
