Yes agreed. That seems pretty insane. I saw somewhere else 100ft for 60-0 so this is surprising.

Great review

And without a doubt a great color

supershaft · 07-12-2023, 01:24 PM

I don't understand why people get so defensive about their purchase. The m2 is a great car so who cares what others say?

ronin13013 · 07-12-2023, 01:58 PM

We dont. Its when they come HERE to disrespect and obsess about our purchase.

Motorweek never says a negative thing about any car

Not denying the M2 is great, but MW isn't a good source to be plastering on the front page

M2PDX · 07-12-2023, 02:43 PM

"...the M2 felt light, tossable, playful and agile...."

"The M3/4 may be faster, but when it comes to having more fun behind the wheel, the M2 is the clear winner. "

Where'd all the opinionated "it's too heavy/it won't be fun to drive" haters go????

Helllooooooo........???

This is turning out to be a phenomenal car!

Mine (in this same TR) can't come soon enough!

I don't have a CF roof and think it looks great. MMV, of course.

Someone page me? Because it is too heavy. And the screens for gauges are unfortunate.

But damnit it haul ass, it’s S58 equipped, and I’m slowly coming around on the design. TR is definitely the spec too

jm490 · 07-12-2023, 05:47 PM

This car in black with some nice wheels and a nicer stance and a front lip looks super cool. It’s growing on everyone I think. With the S58 on top of that it’s going to be a winner for sure.

You’re definitely not wrong

Squidget · 07-12-2023, 06:39 PM

Side note: this car more is tossable than I expected. I expected something like "slightly more tossable than a G8x."

But I'd say it's significantly more tossable, and really earns that backhanded compliment of "you don't feel the weight." Even at low speeds it seems to beg you to steer almost violently, to dig into the corners.

If I had to guess, I think it's the precise steering and brakes that does it. Combined with the traction, the car is just incredibly forgiving. It's never going to bite you, and that encourages you to toss it around.

I totally get it, having to give up my 1er Convertible

My understanding is it’s now larger than the first generation 2er’s

AndreM2 · 07-12-2023, 07:14 PM

I am looking forward to see Steve Sutclife or Jason Plato behind the wheel of the new M2.
