I convinced myself many times that the new m2 is great, or not that bad looking, the chassis and engine are an absolute performance package, engine have so much tuning potential

But every time i see in a video a comparaison and they put the e46 m3 and the g87 next to each other , my bubble burst, the e46 m3 is so beautiful next to the g87.

It’s hard to forget the image once you have seen it.

I’ll stick with my m2c personally.

See you in 2049!

Just to be clear watch guys buy watches AND do your low-yield (life pro-tip is free pro-tip)

It's a cool review video, but one thing that come to mind: this is more of an apples to oranges comparison, anyone else feel the same? Porsche is in their own league and as others mentioned, the price per pound of performance is quantifiably different.

I did look at a used Porsche before ordering the M2, but felt the M2 fits the bill for me (value, price, daily driving, etc).

The rear view of the M2 just kills it for me…the rear bumper and taillights drive me crazy. I really like the front, 3/4 front and side view though.

Boat? It is still smaller than an M2 in every respect.

It’s like an having an insurance policy right on your wrist

Skip the watch and tape your paycheck to your forehead. It’ll save $10,000 and be more honest.

Male Jewelery. Lame as far as I’m concerned Especially showing it off like some tool. No Thanks.

I disagree the only reason I don’t rock a statement watch is I hate wearing a watch

yea, boat compared to a 718. BTW the 911 (992) is only an inch or so shorter but i think the BMW is all rear bumper lol

Yeah, compared to a 718...4" longer (173.5" to 177.9") and 2" wider (70.9" to 72.9").

I think anything around 180" or under in length is a good size for a performance/sports car.

M2 looks big to me. Whenever I see it I think get the M3 for “practicality” of bigger backseat and then get a smaller car like a 718 or 911 for fun That said aren’t many P cars I’d daily over a BMW. Seats and harsh suspension alone (though I hear the new ///M’s are pretty stiff themselves).

Excellent review here. Simply wish these two. cars would've been pushed to their limits at a track instead of the street. Nonetheless, pleases by the results.

Whike I agree with you. I have access to cars all the time that I wish I could take to the track, but the mountains and the back roads are what I have so I make use of them.

Well, the front end of the M3 & M4 kills it for me too. Looks are very subjective & any comment about the looks of any car should automatically feature a (IMO) next to it. LMAO.

Regardless of what the haters say, I think the G87 is an impressive package & in the long run this coupe will appeal to more people down the road. But again, we're all just offering our .02 cents.

So back on topic. Great to see more people enjoying the G87 & realizing it an impressive machine, even when compared to cars that cost much much more.

New M2 is the best car for the price in this horribly inflated price market. I’d want one with the carbon buckets, but then like almost every other car it’s way overpriced. Standard seats, few options is the way to go on this one.

Oh, and black ONLY.

Also the most faked, with clones being 99.9% indistinguishable from the real ones. When I see someone wearing a sub, I immediately think it's fake

Did you miss in my post where I said “for me”? Of course it’s my opinion, I don’t expect everyone to share it.

I agree! A few months ago, I was at a meeting, next to the Ford Design Center in Irvine. After my meeting, I witnessed several men surveying my car from every angle. Some were making hand gestures while others were talking amongst themselves. As I approached, I discovered that these men were automobile designers and engineers from different parts of the world. They were all very excited and positive about the design of the G87. They called some of the design cues “Brutalist” and other “Purposeful”. All agreed that the square intakes and boxy wide fenders were very DTM. The final consensus was that while some elements of the design were better than others, they praised BMW for taking design risks and producing automobiles that are different, in a time when most manufacturers are playing it safe and not taking chances. I can appreciate all of the design elements of my M2 and enjoy it more each day. The rest of the car is pure magic for me (IMHO)

In my experience the new Ms have much better adaptive suspensions than the largely overly firm rides of older models.
