- The original BMW M2 came with a single turbo N55 straight six engine with 365hp. To bring the original up to similar performance of the later BMW M2 Competition this example has a stage 1 tune from Litchfield.
The current default settings which you can change instantly using the Cruise Control buttons are:
Map1 95 Octane normal unleaded fuel which will produce around 370 bhp and 380 lbft with Stage 1 (Stage 2 390 bhp / 390 lbft)
Map2 97/99 Octane Super unleaded fuel which will produce around 385 bhp with 400 lbft (Stage 2 420 bhp / 420 lbft)

Should we do a film in the M2 on track? Should we have a Stage 2 done on it? What would you do?
Track comparison with OG M2 vs M2C, both on stage 2 tunes 😊
*Please do! I would highly recommend the DINAN exhaust! It gives the car a very exotic, true race car (yet livable) exhaust note*
I'd replace the splitter, tires and fix the fitment on that carbon mirror cap. I have a stage 2 m2, feels like the right amount of power for it.
As an M2 OG owner, this is an instant classic. The M2 long term will be one of those M cars that will absolutely be sought after.
I agree 👍🏻
I have a Stage 3 N55 M2 and it is by far the most addictive driving experience I've had especially with that short wheel base and instantaneous power delivery. I'd say that the Lotus Elise pips this in terms of everyday driver engagement but the RS cars and AMG cars I've had in the past don't come close despite the hefty price tag. So much theatre from that N55 engine. We won't get cars like these in the future so best to enjoy them now! Congrats on the purchase mate.
Picked up one of these a few weeks ago, a late 2016, 1 owner from new, 25,900 miles. It has the DCT, and in long beach blue.
Absolutely love it, and coming from a very fast tuned M140i, which was a missle in a straight line, but keeping it in a straight line was the difficult part, the M2 is on another level for handling, cornering, steering etc.
You say 'it keeps you on your toes and makes it exciting to drive', I say compared to a 455bhp/634nm M140i, it's safe as houses !!
The M140i was absolutely mental in a dangerous way.
Totally agree, i did the same with a tuned m240i, took an m2 out to see what all the fuss was about and had to have it, had it 18 months now and still absolutely adore it.
the M2 competition is honestly a different car, I wouldn't say plain "better", better on paper maybe (+40 HP, but 500lbs more) but the OG M2 with that factory built N55, after a stage2 tune... man that F87 chassis with 500 lbs less weight on it and 400+ HP is insane. I have an '18 love it, have driven the S55 variant and don't think it's worth the extra $10k if you are planning on only using this on the street. If you go the track however I think the M2 comp. is definitely worth it
Does the M2 comp handle bumpy roads better, or is it as stiff as the OG?
The OG is definitely the one, the engine noise, exhaust pops and bangs are incredible!
This car is awesome, it sounds so amazing. I have the stage 4 dinan tune on the LCI, with the CS wheels, it flies, every time I drive after a hiatus I am smiling ear to ear at what this machine feels like
One you forgot to mention is that the N55 version is also lighter by almost 150 lbs on the front,
As a Black M2 DCT LCI owner. I approve of this message. 😁
💪🏻
Brilliant video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment. 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video on a realistic attainable car. Would love to see more videos on the M2
Will keep them coming! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏻
*Nice review! I have the same car/year/color. I also have the DINAN exhaust package on it and it sounds incredible! Makes it sound even lower in tone and more like a pure exotic race car. I always say it "sounds like Laguna effin' Seca" with the DINAN. The love I have for this car is never ending! I get at least one compliment on her 97% of the time I take her out.*
Great video, great vehicle. Spec is on point. Completely relate to the smashed splitter... but its hard to get past how good they look!
Thank you glad you enjoyed it!
I really don’t know what to do re the splitter. I might try a less aggressive one and see if that is any better, as you say it looks amazing but that one is just way too low to be practical.
Congrats Christian, beautiful car! Hope to see more content on it and perhaps see it doing some laps in the spring. Also a happy OG owner (manual).
Thanks for the comment! 👍🏻 Track vid definitely on the card in the spring! 👌🏻
I don’t usually comment on videos but wanted to give you your kudos as this is a fantastic one! Especially the bit about not needing the competition and that the n55 is more than enough and capable. We always get hellbent on wanting that little bit more when we actually don’t need it! I’ve been a long term customer of Litchfield, I’ll say hi if we cross paths one day. Keep it up!
Thank you very much glad you enjoyed it!! Please do say hi if we do cross paths. 👌🏻👍🏻
What a hunk!❤
Excellent work sir. I'm from Bristol too and planning on purchasing an OG M2 this summer. Interested in seeing more footage
You won’t be disappointed!! I intend on doing a track film this spring when it eventually stops raining! 😂
Yup. I own M2 LCI(2018) stage2. It is just awesome!!
I came from an m lite to an m2 LCI and the diffrence was night and day. The m lite just feels like a normal everyday bmw (Which it is... apart from the engine) but the m2 just takes it to a whole diffrent level. The way it drives is superb. It just makes you want to take it out all the time! Ive had 2 x m2's now! This is coming from someone who's previously had a cayman s, 2016 911 Carrera S 991.2 and lots of other fast cars over the years! its more fun that any of them. I had the m2 comp for a day and I couldnt notice the diffrence. I was very surprised to learn that the entire suspension system is identical to the OG despite what reviews claim. They are all the same part numbers. The only diffrence is an extra strut between the back seats and the carbon strut under the bonnet. Thats litrally it. Same drive train and everything. The s55 is the only diffrence they have over the LCI OG but if you threw a few grand at an OG you can get it up to 450bhp easily but have the far superior noise to go with it being a single turbo.
I've just bought the same car, completely stock, same colour too and absolutely love it so far! 🤩
Good choice!
I got a stage 4 dinan tune LCI makes 450 hp! With the 763M wheels and m performance coilovers and exhaust!
Its heaven!
Beautiful car 😊
Love its wild and raw nature and OG sounds so good, with tune and intercooler it's faster than stock comp around the track and on the straight with a lot cash left in the pocket. Put coilovers on and this car is a weapon on the track... Hard to find more fun car that u can use everyday. I drove OG and Comp a lot and unless u don't want to go over 500hp I will always take og.
Looking forward to taking mine on track in the spring!
Such a good car! I just brought one
A fine choice!!
Great video but the autoblip can be turned off in the manual, just turn traction control completely off.
Get a Wagner intercooler on it, apparently they’re the best, the only tube and fin designed intercooler upgrade. Like the oem just bigger.
So good looking with those golden wheels. Need those too for mine 😅 What wheels are those if you say they are not original cs wheels?
I don’t actually know I shall find out for you. 👍🏻
Nice video! Take some chassis modifications to, and you have the grip of a Porsche cayman GT4! than you a have lot of grip in combination with stage 1. You can also Pure Turbo upgrade it and have the power of a S58 with 500+bhp. My OG M2 is running with wagner evo1 intercooler, HJS sportcat, Mperformance exhaust,pipercross airfilter, Alu charge&boost pipe, Öhlins R/T , eibach swaybars, solid unniballs, diff lift kit, goodridge steel brakelines, castrol rsf race brake fluid, software is stock, with 390bhp and 530nm thanks to the hardware. Stage2 is 420bhp and 600nm. With upgraded hpfp it have 480bhp and 700nm. Stock hpfp is maxed out at 420/430 bhp. some People say that with a stage1 you reach 450bhp butt that is not possible.
I have stage 2 n55 m2 stock turbo and im pushing 395 whp. So I would assume my bhp is well above 420. I did not do hpfp.. I have similar mods to you so I assume you are meaning whp
Wheel spec pleasee
I love everything but the interiour. I have a m2 black shadow edition .. all i want to change is the Seats for some m2 cs seats
I quite fancy a new set of seats. That is the only thing I’d change too.
The rev matching on the manual can be turned off with traction all the way off or a map 🤟
The mapping on mine allows Rev matching to be on or off on any driver modes settings
I have the same 2018 Lci
What’s mods should I do first
If it hasn't got Michelin 4S that is the first thing I would do. Other that that the Litchfield stage 1 is good.
@Motorflix I've got the ps4s was thinking of going to the ps5s if there is any difference
Do I need any supporting mods before the Litchfield stage one
I'd save your money and leave the PS4S on it they are the sweet spot in my opinion. No I don't think so, give Litchfield a call. Ask for Iain (Litchfield) and say Christian from Motorflix put you on to him, he will look after you. They are a great bunch (I get nothing btw from passing you across, I believe in what they do!)
Spacers and lowering are a cool mod, but be aware even though it looks amazing, mine can scrape the tyres at the rear very occasionally on horrendous roads. Other that that the carbon bits can be found all over the internet.
Brilliant video and even better car.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏻
Where did you get the rims from? Being copies
I don’t actually know as I didn’t put them on the car I bought it with them already fitted. Sorry
Off topic but what glasses are they?
The are Oliver Peoples - Gregory Peck 👍🏻
Where did you buy it from?
EAG Specialists they were great 👍🏻
@@Motorflix knew I recognised it, I wanted to buy it but didn’t in the end! Awesome car congrats
O cool! Did you buy one in the end? Thanks and thank you for watching.
@@Motorflix no i didn’t but I will this year!
Stage one is crap. Turbo inlet (MST V2 or a pure turbo's), sports cat, upgraded intercooler. Stage two so much better. I'm on MHD.
I own an original M2 and you’re wrong. The manual is far more expensive than the DCT
Plus you can code out the re matching
I am wrong how? At the time of making this film the DCT cars were more....
That is interesting, I didn't know this.
I have the same M2 in manual and you can turn off the Rev matching. Do your research, before you misinform people.
How by turning off the traction control and making it dangerous for people that might not be able to handle the whole performance? 🙄😂
@@Motorflix 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ I addressed your comment in the video, and you’ve just confirmed that Rev matching CAN be switched off, which is what I said in my comment.
But now what you’ve also implied in the video is that having DCT, the box doesn’t rev match when you shift down???😂😂😂 and having a DCT you can’t ditch that car either?!?!? Well done mate 👍🏼👍🏼
What did people do before traction control in powerful cars??? Oh they learned to drive the car, if they were so inclined.
Regardless of that faux pax, I enjoyed the video. Your commentary flows well and it’s well edited.
Thanks for the comment. Another viewer pointed this out to me. I didn’t know it could be when I made the film initially.
I am not sure I did imply that, could you point out where. As I know full well it does with DCT.
People before TC could either drive or they crashed. Now people lean on it too much.
Many thanks I am am glad you enjoyed! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@Motorflix sorry about what came across as a flippant comment, I watched your video straight after Utd got a thrashing from Liverpool this afternoon 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
And then, wound up with that, I dropped my comments straight on the back of a humiliating defeat. Rather than delete the comments, I’m leaving them on, and instead, having calmed down a bit but still feeling depressed and sorry for myself I’m apologising.
I’ve also taken the time out and read through previous comments, and as you’ve mentioned, other people have pointed out that u can switch off Rev matching , but in a nicer manner.
I know how hard it is to put a video like you’ve done together, and it’s very much appreciated, especially as these cars are truly awesome. This will be the last petrol car I ever buy. I purchased this from new 4 years ago and I knew I was gonna keep it.
My wife always comments that why am I watching a video on a car that I already have on my driveway that I daily drive…all the guys that own one and have watched and commented On this video and the many others on TH-cam will know why.
Wish you the best on your M2 ownership journey and look forwards to future uploads.👊🏼
Cheap road tax in June after its 5 years old 🎉 same as me
6 years old cheap tax . They don’t count the first year . My sept 2017 is 165 from sept 2023. I spoke to dvla as I thought it was 5 but it’s 6
stage 2/3 it
👋🏻👋🏻 grip 😂
@@Motorflix thats what 5th gear is for haha
Terrible car for uk B roads your traction control light will be in overdrive with stock power alone. German Autobhan or smooth tack will be great ❤
Simply not true, it is brilliant on a uk B road, scary at times, but if you drive it with respect and modulate the throttle for the amount of grip it has then it is great fun!
How is ANY BMW manual gearbox exceptional dude? Spacers suck. F82 miles better looking. This m2 has odd proportions and will overheat on track as it’s not a real M build. Hard pass.
Have you driven an M car with a manual gearbox? They are great, ask anyone.
The spacers make the stance look great!
@@Motorflix spacers don’t make the tires or wheels wider is the problem. When rolling down the road, your setup will look rather narrow made even worse since your pushing the wheels further apart from each other making it look even narrower sans spacers. This is what newbs don’t get. They think in one dimension. And yes I own an E46 M3. BMW shift action is rubbery af compared to Honda Porsche. Enjoy!
Way too much negativity for me. Merry Christmas 👍🏻
@@Motorflix Spot on mate, no need for the passive anger. Car looks spot on, spacers do the job and manual M's are very good. Look forward to more content on it.
Anything other than a manual on an E46 is just awful 😂
Bought an Lci new myself as daily, 125k miles later still amazing!
Buy some M-performance interior bits…I have them all🤩
Brilliant!! What you going to go for next?
