Flying to collect my NEW BMW M2 and driving 500 miles back to London
The craziest collection of my new BMW M2 - flying to collect the car from Bavarian BMW in Belfast and then take the ferry back to Scotland and drive 500 miles back home. Got caught up in Storm Eunice along the way to make the wildest collection of a car I’ve ever had!

Awesome video man, I am hoping to do the same thing with the exact same year M2 either spring 24 if the country hasnt fallen out its ass, or spring 25 if it has lol. Cannot wait. Enjoy the absolute gem. Definitely controversial on the grills, they are WAY nicer in black imo but you do you man its your car you gotta do what YOU want not what other people do haha.

Haha no way!!! That’s hilarious 😂 - either way it’s a great journey!
*I've got the same car. I put on the carbon kidney grills, and the M3 style mirror caps (they look bitchin' and more aggressive!) KW lowering springs gives it that nice, aggressive stance and better handling. Replaced the rear boot-spoiler with a slightly taller carbon one called a 'High Kick'. Also, added the DINAN exhaust system which sounds AMAZING.* *I think the DINAN system sounds better than the M Performance exhaust, personally. It's noticeably DEEPER and throatier (sounds more like a V8) and a real head-turner. I also think it sounds a bit more exotic as well. Here's a great sound capture of the DINAN exhaust in action! kzread.info/dash/bejne/lHuJ0o-Kn7StebA.html Congrats man!*

Although I have the black kidney grills myself, I quite like the chrome ones on yours. I would keep it like it is, personally. Although you don’t have the adaptive LED’s, great spec and beautiful car mate. Have fun with it

How were Bavarian to deal with? Good experience? Did you go there because of the spec of the car, price, or a different reason?
@UnderTheBonnet

Amazing service to be honest - I went there for the spec and price - really good value for an approved used M2 at the time. Even with the flight there and drive back it was so worth it!
Hope you said something about the condensation in your headlight. Those are pricey !

Great video. What made you go for the m2 rather than the comp ?

2 main reasons, cost and exhaust sound - I’ll do a video on this I think when I compare it vs the Comp
How does it compare to the A35?

Good question - it’s very different from the way it drives, definitely a better handling and riding car. Crazy that this handles bumps and roads better than the hatch! Easily more powerful, but in winter can barely put down the power when tyres are cold, which is most of the time when living in London. In summer it’s great though! A35 was fine whatever time of year. Also A35 interior was so beautiful looking with the lighting even if it’s a cheaper built cabin than the M2. Still M2 is just a better car overall and has more of a WOW factor, it’s also much much louder stock!
Only thing it really needs is a larger carbon wing imho

N55 not one of BMW's great engine's a lot of weak points. Charge pipe breaking and detaching from the inter cooler, water pump failure, valve cover oil leak, leaking oil filter housing gasket, vanos solenoid failure, hpfp failure but that mainly on the older models. No forged internals so it not capable of producing much more power from stock reliably we'll have fun.

Interesting you say this, online and on video the A35 interior looks so much better, it is a newer car. BUT in person, living with both, the A35 felt cheaper and the M2 is built better, less squeaks and rattles even though it’s an older car. Still I love the lights of the A35 haha - I want both! 😂

New Merc fells and looks so much cheaper and so much buttons and screens then this generation.
