#bmw #m2 #launch - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Amazing to have this man telling us about this gem of a car he made
I actually kind of like the look, especially in Zanzevoort blue. It's aggressive and the grill isn't too big.
It looks like a muscle car built in bavaria.
Zandvoort
Ppl hate on the car too much. Surprisingly looks good with red
BEST INTERVIEW in the WORLD i have seen about the M2 straight from the Designer. EXCELLENT 10/10 or #1 / 9001 other reviews of the new M2, it puts the car into perspective of the line and the custom driving dynamics. You can tell he Loves His Creation and will OWN a Manual of his very own.
Excellent video and explanation of the systems available in an M car. I love the flexibility of suspension, steering, and traction controls. Could easily get you into trouble though and you might have to steer the car looking through the back window.
Can we meet the head of design, we just want to talk.
I see what you did there😅
😂😂 he’s unavailable for comment.
He's in spain
HAHAHA too good 😂🤘🏻🤘🏻
It’s on a plater, can we take a message.
Since the chef engineer is here, why not ask him about the weight of the car?
I like that you can adjust traction control because some times you want to do small drift around the city but don’t wanna take traction control fully off 😅I drive my brz with traction control fully off everyday but I don’t think I can do that with a 400hp car I’ll end up in a wall🤣
That was really awesome! Great to learn about auch features, from somebody with such knowledge and involvement
Excellent video. Looking forward to driving this car. Thanks.
As a manual m2 owner: it needs a short shifter kit. Once you start punching it, you start missing gears. It's hell
By far. best. BMW M2 review. on. you tube - thanx BMW. --- great. interview Andre
Awesome video! Great questions! Looks like it’s going to be a nice M gem 💎 as expected!!
I like the wheels, and it the car looks great in red too. Excellent engineering of the S58. He should be proud of his work. And then there’s the designers with their ideas…
The M2 looks great overall, but I’m getting used to the front grill (seems to be a common theme with BMW design).
Getting use to the grille, but cant get past the square cutouts on the front bumper. Prefer the M240i for the front bumper design.
@@TheBridgersCabin exactly. It’s like, just make the M car a buff version of the m-light vehicle, rather than having nicer hips, a stronger heart, but with missing front teeth. Haha
Fantastic job! This body is incredible
Just ordered mine 😊 I’m buzzing
Msrp?
@@jesustsa1 ordering is msrp. The only issue could be the wait
Ordered mine since November
I’m an advocate of Toyota reliability, but having owned Toyota and BMW I realize there are manufacturing details in BMW that do not exist in the Toyota product line. Just look at that under hood image, body color painted hinges and clear coated paint. That does not exist on Toyota and perhaps other off premium manufacturers as well. These are nice cars, reminds me of the 2002’s I remember from the early 1970’s.
Fantastic video, so good to hear from the expert!
Great interview. This is the missing menu on the drift control - took 6 minutes to go thru the settings and explain the new control loop from DSC to ECM. Funny that not quite getting a straight answer on how best to launch. In engineering, it’s always “depends”. 😂 Amazing design.
I'm so thankful they kept a manual option available! I was disappointed when they removed the manual option on the M3/M4 Competition Package trims.
As a daily driver, in traffic on long commutes every day, it just isn't practical. Especially if you have a wife that can't drive stick. As much as I wanted to do it, it just didn't make sense for me.
@@brelaxed13 I think my ideal two car solution would be a manual sports car like the M2 and a pickup or SUV that’s an automatic or electric. You could also go route of a cheap commuter like a Tesla Model 3 , Corolla, or Civic. What I really want is a three car solution 😂
@@boilerdown1 I couldn't agree more lol.
@@boilerdown1 civic and m2 is a good lineup and add a model 3 perfect! Id get a model 3 with my si to use that when I needa drive a hella lot .
Well, they don’t and they won’t have a manual ‘competition’ version of the M2 either…you can get a manual ‘standard’ M3/M4, same as the M2…
Quite informative!
The engineers at BMW are proud of making a subcompact “sports car” at 3800lbs? It weights more than a Toyota rav 4. “Ultimate driving machine” 😂
Great to listen to someone that really lives M and likes sporty cars. Extremely good interview. Vielen Dank für die Erklärungen zum neuen M2. ❤
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL TUESDAY EVERYONE ✌️
I need one! 😍
Mine arrives in 3 months cant wait
Did you pay mark up or MSRP?
Yes
F87 is dope
The M2 is the best looking BMW currently. Also, I get tired of people complaining about the weight when it has a 0-60 time under 4 seconds and it also rides well enough to be a daily driver. If you use the right settings, it’s a fun track car too. The fact is that everyone who has dynoed it, shows it makes more that 450hp at the wheels and some people have gotten 0-60 times around 3.6. Weight and HP don’t tell the whole story for a car.
And lastly, for the performance it’s actually a true bargain in the market well equipped at 68k, with a very reliable s58 engine. It’s clearly a great car for the price and design
Coming from e46 and e90 m3 back in 2001 and 2008, you always kinda get screwed for buying the first model year. This time I will be geting the last model year, last iced m2. Whether they will launch a competition model then or not ultimately it comes down to having a manual or not for me. Hopefully you can individually select carbon buckets seats then. Paying 10k for the carbon package which only adds roof with the seats seems silly although m2 itself is a performance bargain since everything is shared with m3/4 costing thousands more. Personally the rear fenders and quarter panel is the best m car next to mz3 coupe. Gloriously fat fenders like the 993 turbos is a welcome sign for this model
this engine and transmission have been out for years lol . Just the first year of this body so this is Jusr irrelevant
BMW top machine. Love my BMW’s
I need this car .
After a few months of ownership, i am still coming back to hear about the DSC and MDM conversation🤔
4W?
People talk so much crap about these cars online but we see these cars in real life anyways lol
This is a car I'd love to drive, can't afford to buy, and would black out after seeing the repair bills.
🥱
Warranty
@@toxtv8161 which lasts the length of a lease term.
That's why you always lease them.
Warranty does NOT cover the TIME lost & AGGRAVATION/DURESS caused by having to send in Car multiple times!
sounds better than expected
If you plan on maintaining warranty then equal length mid pipes with resonator delete will tidy up the sound much more. Will maintain an OEM+ volume. On my M2 ill be doing that + a muffler delete. Good tone and as loud as possible while maintaining my warranty
@@tameemz3595 They still may void warranty in Canada for that
because in the non EU regions the opf is not in the exhaust system
There is an opportunity for BMW to communicate design strategy ethos. From a customer perspective, it’s confusing to see so many divergent design directions, from the XM to M3 and now the M2. We know BMW is atleast 3-5 years ahead of what they share with customers so the designs make more sense internally for them because there’s more context to draw from. To meet customer needs, please share more of the ethos and design philosophy that supports these divergent directions.. - commenting as a professional designer in another industry
Why? This way you can choose what looks you like the most.
André, what about towing and payload? 😁
Yes, all that and what is the range and how long to charge?
Looks like it has a dodge ram front nose 😂
Literally in the market for one.. lmao
I wish you asked more technical details instead of how to launch it. 😢
Great to see you talking to a naz- german bmw engineer! Great details that we dont otherwise get
New to bmw, but I like the design. Saw last years model and was meh. But, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
If this was Xdrive, it would dominate!
Nice video, unfortunately, I've been searching for a manual M2/M3 to test drive for months now. Eight official dealerships and one BMW group-owned dealership in my area don't have their own cars or pool cars with a manual gearbox (no M2, no M3). Even after sending three emails to BMW, I haven't had any success. The experience here is even worse, with auto-generated replies that tell me I should go to a local dealership and that they do not print any info material anymore (which i haven’t even asked for). Currently, the car buying experience in Germany is not something I can recommend to someone else. At the moment, I have the impression that BMW doesn't want to sell cars with a manual gearbox (despite promoting it on TH-cam and even through their engineers). Maybe I'm just not the right type of customer, and BMW expects customers to spend 80,000€ or more without being able to test the specific model. I don't know, but right now, I'm more than disappointed.
This one has a sunroof!, why I cant build mine with sun roof?
You cannot have carbon package
27:15
Lego called. They want their building blocks back.
They couldn't help themselves from making it bigger.
Something is wrong with the video motion
It's very juddery
I love the design. It looks more grown up and less like a car that I might drive to the gym. Purposeful and wide. I can’t stand the M3/4 and would never buy them because I don’t use hair gel and I don’t own any yeezys.
Entry level sports car for 500hp mid-engine V8 supercar Corvette money.
BMW needs to bring the 1M back...and make it look good and sell it at an affordable price.
C8 starts at $100k in Germany and it’s not weather proof
The base C8 does not have 500hp and the C8 Z06 is way out of this price range.
The G87 M2 is not an "entry level" sports car. Things like the Miata and BR-Z/GR86 exist.
This is not an endorsement of the G87 M2, it's still ugly as sin and only slightly less offensive than the G8X M3/M4, XM and whatever else the new designers have touched in the past 4 years.
@@jayee88 yes the base $60k mid-engine V8 supercar Corvette has 490hp. This M2 is $60k+ 🤣
Well… my mistake, all I remembered about the stingray was that it was 4xx HP… 490 is basically 500 you’re right. They are still targeted at different audiences though and the M2 might be an entry into a “M” car but it’s not an entry level sports car.
They really messed that up didn't they? It looks like a cheap aftermarket 90's bumps. Big flat shapes and like cardboard cutouts. Fenders are nice, but it needs new front and rear bumpers and tail lights. The large screen is much less driver focused and more family cruiser. Previous gen was better.
Quit teasing me BMW, I need to some actual driving impression
Is there ever gonna be a driving video or is this just an exposition car 😅
Love it!
Highly informative but feels like you’re fighting with him for it. Or instead of leading him you’re dragging him along. Honestly you can feel the tension from the start of the interview, like he’s already annoyed.
Wider and longer my pickup line.
I'd pay a diet specialist to get me to lose weight and save the other $8,000 from the light weight carbon package lol
Reminds me of a Supra
can you ask him to give the designers a wedgie
Oh gosh, pity the chief eng didn't get a say in the looks of this beast. Hit with the ugly stick!
Doing to much with everything. Keep it simple, looks like a hybrid rice rocket. Guess I’m ol skool. Thanks for making my f87c hold its value.
Congrats to BMW. They have managed not only to make the front of the car ugly, but now the rear is also ugly compared to the m3/m4.
Looks like it was designed by my nephew.
Agreed and it will still sell out.
What??? It looks great ?!?
The front is almost passable but what were they thinking with the rear bumper!
Seriously what the hell
I would even consider changing the rear to aftermarket body kit just to smooth off the bumps
unlike the G80 this new M2 looks uglier everytime I see it.
G80 is ugly as sin. I can't get over that pig nose front.
Dream car. I hope I can someday save enough to get one
We not goona talk about how it looks like it was designed with Lego?
Same engine as M3 and M4 but doesn’t have the same horsepower??? They did this on purpose so you buy the higher models if that’s a problem for you. How Smart
The car is smaller and lighter so it evens out
Manual M3/4 are detuned - presume manual box is a limiting factor and in the M2 they have gone for the same state of tune for both transmissions
Too many reflections from the screen !
The front literally looks like a cheap rental Dodge.
I’m an M Fan but if EV SUVs are keeping up with M2s… it’s time to go back to the drawing board
Bruh, you can’t compare. Even if an electric suv beats the m2 his girlfriend will still rather be in my car then his RC car
@@subhikabbani5050 say bye bye to that GF when a baby mobile ev leaves you confused at that light in your M2
If you want a car to sit in and talk about but not drive, this seems like the perfect vehicle.
Embargo on driving reviews until April 2nd. It’s annoying but this weekend should have actual driving
in a few years, all Ms will be 4 electric motors and an iPad on the dash (an even bigger one). You'll say "Hey Siri...give me a 0-60". Siri will ask you to put at least one finger on the steering wheel, and ZOOOM..you're off. What a sad future....
How does he endorse a $60,000 entry level car?? BMWs own verbiage?
With markups it’ll be at least $80,000 in local dealers probably more. $20,000 is added in my Tallahassee bmw dealer so almost $100k after taxes.
We have $50K Civics and Corollas now, so a performance BMW at 60k sounds like a bargain.
So they just put a big flat display panel on there? No smooth blending or anything? 🤦♂️
Face for radio 😢
There is only 5 colors -_-
Car looks dated already.
April fools! Wait, it's not even April.😢
FFS BMW 🤬
Very nice plastic engine with plastic fittings everywhere 🤢
Should have asked if the valvetronic/oil squirter has been upgraded for "reliability"
Who designed that car? A 5 year old kid first time drawing a car?
Whoever designed the front end and back should be taken out back and beat senseless. Almost incomprehensible.
Your name is what?! 😂🤣😆🔥
You interrupted this guy like 20 times after you asked him a question at 20:35. It drove me nuts.
You literally had the perfect guest with you who has the right answers, and you ask a good question. Then you interrupt him repeatedly... I just stopped watching the video at that point.
Why does it need to look like this?
Used to drive only BMWs for 15 years. And I was wondering “How many miles before it starts leaking oil ?”
Such a RICER Body Kit.
It is like an Taiwanesw Replica of a BMW 🤮😂🤦
PS. BMW is going from Bad to Worse in terms of Design.
Zero questions asked in regards to torsional regidity, tensile strength of different sections of the car, engine design, COG, etc. etc.
What a wasted opportunity with the head engineer, terrible journalism.... talking about the drive modes with the chief engineer, seriously?! Laughable.
Cars just getting bigger and fatter. Which is now termed "more adult" utter nonsense.
so it's heavy, ugly, and expensive....
*i don't know still hard to trust BMW built quality and expensive out warranty repairs because BMW uses so much plastics and cheaper parts to save money*
5-year warranty in Australia, I don't keep cars any longer than that. Plus, I've owned a few BMWs now and had no problems.
I've owned two. Nothing but issues and the cost to maintain is unjustified. Always been a lot of unneeded time and work.
@Jon McCargar what maintenance? All of my BMW's had free servicing. I guess that's just an aussie thing.
@@mattyoz0 They have free maintenance in US too and are extremely reliable. He's probably talking about some beat up old BMWs.
Prepare your wallet & block off alot time in your schedule. Also be patient & expect potentially long technical explanations & lengthy & maybe indeterminate troubleshooting process
wow that's ugly
Not a BMW fan, but it is a good looking car. Lease only decision though. Would not recommend owning it!
Why not
Cost of maintenance in the long term and the massive depreciation hit one might take.
One of the final fun BMW M cars with an ICE engine, this thing will probably appreciate in value if well taken care of over the next decade or so.
Such an ugly car, can't believe this got green lit.
holy shit that thing is gross... BMW just keeps making these things looking worse year after year. Who the hell is still buying them?
u jelly bro? you dont have to talk shit because you cant afford it. gtfo
I’m so confused. It looks amazing. Do you want the same design forever? I don’t want my 2023 m2 to look like your 2001 m2 haha
it looks great - saw one yesterday, looks mean and aggressive, and expensive looking.
So, even the latest BMW sports car still have no chance against my 3 year old Model 3 Performance on public road then.
No chance in what way? around a track? braking? theres more to performance than 0-60. Your model 3 looks and is built like shit.

Afraid not. This thing will run rings around you f87 around a track.
@@mattyoz0 I don't drive on tracks. 90% of M2 drivers don't either. People buy cars that look and sound good. Not ugly shit boxes.
@@persuadertron6454 'Not ugly shit boxes' You don't own a M2 with that comment.
