Alright, first of all, I was absolutely excited and happy that I could drive this BMW M2 as one of the first people in Switzerland. For that, I have to give a massive thank you to Hedin Automotive Dielsdorf, who gave me the opportunity to drive it.

Secondly, I want to say something I never thought I would say, but this is now my favorite M car. I know the M4 has more power, but the sheer brutality and driving experience reminded me of the first time they put turbochargers into the 335i with the N54 engine. Coming from a 330ci E46 and driving the 335i, it felt like a rocket ship.

I got the same feeling when comparing the new M2 to the old M2, even to the old M2 Competition. They have absolutely no chance with the new model. Although it's heavier, it is so much better and faster. It was unbelievably fast. I absolutely loved it.

I have to admit I am even thinking of getting one.

Love this guy, his walk around video was fantastic too, that I posted in "where are the white M2 pictures" thread.

So great

Nice to see a great review by someone who truly loves the car & isn't afraid to express it. I like what he said at the 4:29 mark. Holy **ck man...

Finally, a video with an AW car.

it looks really good here....

Sure this was not over Speedlimit (80km/h in Switzerland) - 3rd gear pushed, when 2nd ends at 100 km/h (?). And the Zurich License Plate is shown as well. Someone might get in trouble.

Yeah switzerland is to avoid at all cost, they are not forgiving in any way shape of form.

ScottyK329 · 07-17-2023, 02:27 PM

Beautiful car. Bold and aggressive with performance to match.

ibmc · 07-17-2023, 07:29 PM

Great enthusiastic video! One thing he has going for him is that amazing road. Sure, there are roads here and there that are fun, but that view makes the drive fun both from a car enthusiast pov, and a scenic pov. Just amazing!

There’s a m2 with 2k miles up the road from me. I finally get to drive it. Just drove a 4.0 CGTS, didn’t fall in love but it was great. Hopefully I fall in love with the m2 like this cat.

These are how reviews should be done.
Thank you for sharing.

great review. Nice to see some AW.

What this video does for me, is make me incredibly sad that you can no longer do Euro Delivery. A friend and I drove those mountain roads extensively in my 2018 M3, we had the experience of a lifetime.

So true.

I did ED twice: 1995 (to pick up an awesome 1996 328iS) and 2015 (a 2015 San Marino Blue M3).

Both times were spectacular and really turned me into BMW fan boy.

The factory tour, museum visit, spectacular mountain passes, castle tours, great beer, BMW Welt delivery process, autobaun runs, etc. Amazing.

I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I’ve done 6 Euro Deliveries. And, just throwing it out there, Porsche still does it…
