Translation coming soon https://youtu.be/2ebYBhSLvs0

Edit: Summary translation below

Overall he talks about it very positively. No bad part/criticism in this video. The new M2 is closer to the m3 in several areas. While driving the were talking about the good handling and the nice suspension, since the BMW guy is calibrating the suspension on the Nürburgring. The car will also be available with a 6 speed manual transmission. In the video they had a 8 speed automatic. Otherwise not much info, probably bc it's still a prototype. It will be bigger and heavier than the old one.

Any new information from this video? I didn’t understand anything.

Can we confirm that this was a competition model?

It's not a competition model

We don't know anything right now about m2 vs m2 competition or if there will even be a competition

I will update when my German friends get back on the translation

A test mule running 180mph on the Autobahn! WOW!

@5m35s Car gets revved, sounds decent. Mind you this is an EU car with a particulate filter. NA cars will be louder.

@7m00s He goes in a ride along with the BMW representative. The rep said that they wanted make the M2 more agile than the current M3/4. He talks about the front axle being stiffer while the rear is softer, something we already knew. He admits the G87 weighs more than it's predecessor and doesn't sugar coat the fact.

@11m35s Goes for an Autobahn run, gets up to 292kph (181mph).

@13m22s Launch control demo, seems to hook up well.

My German is super rusty but I think when they are doing that top speed run, the driver comments on how the car is bouncing a little and the BMW rep says the shorter wheelbase vs G80 changes the high-speed stability.

Was there a hood vent there like the previous generation CS?

ABT puts together some badass Audi's.

Good find.

Not sure, I think it’s just the power dome of the hood that may give off that appearance
