I agree that the graphics are terrible. But it looks like the new M2 will be a monster on the track.

It is one of the best videos I have seen on the new M2.

Should get close to the performance of its big brother M4. Considering the near equal weight, I think the stability of the larger M4 platform would be quicker on all but the tightest racetrack.

Great video, should have used Toronto red.

But either way, it definitely got me a little excited for this car.

It's sad that we're living in an era of "it looks horrendous but it's a real performer." Imagine if BMW was building cars that looked as good as they drove, it would be a golden age.

Killer shot.
I agree with this guy. The orange wrap just looks amazing. The current M2 colors and lack of contrast without vents and other identifiers makes it blend in a bit too easily

I do not know who the guy in the video is. But I think he is one of the worst video commentators I have listened to. I had to shut it off because I couldn't stand him. If BMW wanted a hype the M2 so much they should've had Chris Harris do this video.

It's Marc Priestley - he has a YouTube channel that started based off his experience with McLaren F1 as a senior mechanic. He was on Lewis' car one year I think as well. I don't think he's an actual engineer but his early videos provided decent insight into some of the mechanical and aerodynamic components of F1 cars. I stopped watching him years ago though.

And yeah, it wasn't great.
