Totally agree with Chris. Stock M2 needs spacers and a small drop.

Yeah. I'm not head over heels in love with the car like I was when the F87 comp came out, but shitting on this thing has gone way overboard. It's a nice car that looks fine and more importantly it still has all of the stuff.

It's 2023, this is what a fantastic all-around looks like these days. Yes. It's 3800 lbs. Cars are heavy, especially nice ones. Again, it's 2023.

Mark Zuckerberg just got his own head blown off by this raging review of instagram by Chris Harris.

I’ll send Chris Harris a photo of my wife to see what he thinks too!

He said that the design has really grown on him and he expects it to age well. Also, it drive brilliantly, is more comfortable on long journeys, and has a much better gearbox than the last one. He thinks it is an excellent car and BMW's "Il Mostro".

You don’t need instagram to watch it

Just kill the pop up and remove mute

He likes the looks and the drive and says it needs a drop as it’s clear it does

If Harris likes it, that says a lot

Let's make the manual part clear. It's the MT variant of the G87 he's driving and comparing with F87.

For perspective the outgoing car M2c traps 115-116 and skidpad is over a G. The M2cs is 119-120 and perhaps slightly more grip. These cars are hilariously fun cars to drive and extremely capable cars.

Any "mature" man should be able to enjoy their F87 M2 (all varients) for what it is (which is awesome), and applaud its successor.
My Mother-in-law LOVES her F87 M2C... and i think that's cool too
I will bring her to a cars and coffee once i get my G87 or 911!!!

Thank goodness, I was worried about all the time you’ve been wasting with the 4th string.

Maybe now you can actually order the car since Chris says it’s ok.

a SMALL drop! The mods I have seen on the "utoob" drop it too far... makes it look like a dog's tail between its legs. Some serious spacing and a minor drop makes it look niiiice.
