2016 BMW M2 | car review @ Top Speed

Another full overview here of the M2. Interesting commentary about weight savings.

brucelidat · 01-03-2016, 05:29 PM

when the new q60 coupe comes out, I might test drive the m2 as well and see how I they stack up. Looking for fun to drive, sporty, bit more refined with less NVH and a semi-usable (at least throw some people back the for an hour) back seat. M4 is a bit more $$$ then I want to spend. I'm hoping I like the Infiniti since I am not really a German ca rguy and BMWs are like Hondas and Toyotas where I live. At least a m2 would be a bit unique compared tot he the tons of 3/4s (ms as well) rolling around here.

I'm leaning towards the M2. While I like the new Q60 it's disappointing they got rid of the MT and the AT seems like a carry over. Another unknown is its weight. I like the Q60, but so far I know for sure the M2 is light, 0-60 is blazing fast at 4.1s w/DCT and it comes nearly fully equipped. I was hoping they would give us some figures on the Q60 when it debut so we can compare. I do however think the interior of the Q60 blows the socks off the M2.

Depends what you consider light. A lot of people bash the Z for being heavy, but the m2 isn't any lighter and with the DCT, it's going to be close to 3500lbs. I expect the q60 to be somewhere int he 3600 range for weight but we will see. That weight range will put it in the m4 ballpark. Hopefully, it doesn't go Merc/Lexus weight ie. really fat. The m2 is a smaller car on a smaller platform so it will def be lighter. I expect ti to be cost more than the q60 as well when optioned. If they want to sell the q60, the 400 hp version needs to not be more than the low 50s.

The M4 never appealed to me, but for whatever reason I'm really liking the M2. It's proportions and styling are just right. It's been awhile since BMW has really had my attention. The last M car I cared for was the E46 M3

The M2 just made my list.

I don't trust magazines with Bimmerphile corporate drones. MT has been one of the least biased reviewers in the mainstream magazine sector. Especially when it reviews the boys in Bavaria... So I trust when they give a thumbs up to a BMW review.

Somehow I missed the M2 in this... but that vette looked insane. That GT-R was broken n I gotta show love to those Mustang's. They looked n sounded sick.

Porsche repped hard, so did Ferrari. Nice cars n coffee.

im still mad that the one guy only brought out his 650 mclaren and left the P1 at home. weather was perfect.

usually theres much more lambo love from the channel owner sicne he has an aventador and a huracan lol

there was probably 500+ cars there this past weeknd which may be the record so far. it's been growning at an insane rate lately
