(I didn't watch the video, but I know the format of these videos. I assume it tied the M2 in the brake test?) |

Such a one dimensional and silly comparison to do simple drag races. This is why automotive videos and media have rendered themselves obsolete and irrelevant.

And I bet a lot more people do spirited sprints from stoplights than race on a track, so there's that. |

At least it provides a nice comparison of the rear end. I'm glad to see they cleaned up the silver exhaust box but everything else to me seems like a downgrade.

Gotta say, I find this more entertaining than some dude waxing on and on and on about how X is “a love letter to motoring” and not forgetting to say “proper manual.” That’s the kind of cliche bullshit that I would label irrelevant. Next time I hear “but is it a real X” I’m jumping off a building

Feel is obviously subjective. I've put on a bunch of miles on mine and I have no issues with the brake feel. I'm more concerned with actual braking performance, and it's clear the G42 doesn't have any issues there. |

This makes the rear end of the new 2er look so weird in comparison.

For example, different drivers, different tires, different days, different track conditions, total number of laps driven, options in the cars, condition of the tires and brakes, hidden modifications, ringers, perceived driver errors, etc. may be used to invalidate results. |

I may be biased, but M2 competition looks such a beautiful car comparatively. Such an eye candy.

I've actually found the G42 design to be attractive overall, but certainly quirky in parts. This side-by-side really shows which model looks clean and timeless, and which one is a bunch of weirdness thrown together.
