The speed limit warning can be turned off by pressing the Set button on the steering wheel for a few seconds or alternatively can be coded out. The lane departure warning can be turned off via a shortcut or by setting it off in the Individual mode.
We will probably find the EU bureaucrats will start off with speed limit warnings being in every start, to always being on, to you cant go over the speed limit unless on a race track.. sad times
Thank you for this video. As a matter of fact, i personally decide where to spend my money and what car i drive. I will never ever buy a car with all this creepy, useless and stupid technology iniciated by people who have no clue of driving. So i do, and many of the people i talk to are too, do buy older cars. A few of them, older cars and let the car industry build cars no drivers guy ever wants to buy. What an annoying and insulting paternalism to must drive such cars... and a shame for the car industry who do not any more build cars the consumers want
Chris Harris made a good point on his podcast a few weeks ago..... The sweetspot for buying a car in the UK was around 2016-2019 when the cars still had a decent sound (less emissions restrictions) and way less tech that just detracts, and distracts, from the actual driving experience.
As a design, and performance icon, I love it. Unfortunately ALL modern cars are guilty of this modern era trend for dozens of nanny aids and digital dash rubbish. I'll be keeping my OG M2 forever at this rate.
I ran an E90 M3 for 3 years and 45k miles. What a car and what an incredible engine. It screamed all the way to the redline, click for an upshift and go again. I went all across Europe, over the Alps and track days at the ‘ring, Spar & Imola. That car was an all time great Machine. If BMW have given up on their weird design language I’d consider one. If it truly is a new E90 M3 I’ll be first in line at the dealers.
I own a 2011 Porsche 997.2 GTS, and purchased a 2024 FType V8, I intend to keep these cars as they are the last of their era, we run a BMW X5 hybrid that will do nearly 60 miles in Electric, and is incredibly good on my daily commute of 40 miles.
Complaining about the speed limit warning and other electronic safety features is useless because it is not up to them to put it or not, this is mandatory by law, so a bit not relevant
Hi Rob you are correct about tech in cars when I bought my 7series you can book a two hour session so that things are explained to you at the end of the time even though it didn’t take two hours I had forgotten a lot of it An example of what I would never use 1 self driving 2 remote parking where you can stand outside your car 3 self closing doors 4 remote starting so that you can control the heating and when you get in it’s warm things that I have never even tried doing plus all the other bits and bobs some useful others not so
It is a legal reason that they need to have it activated, if you turn that off its not BMWs fault. I agree on lane keeping assist - its dangerous even on motorways where they have roadworks
I think this car is great value , nth come close performance wise in this price. I like the looks to , much more than M3/4 . Its bit less engaging then f87 but as a whole package it's far better car.
Hold SET on the steering wheel for a few seconds. Overides the Speed Limit warning on BMWs. Lane departure will be in the shortcut if you keep turning it off It is technically a detuned M3 because of the chassis and drivetrain.
Enjoyed that one Rob 👍🏻 still think an E46 M3 like I have is the best ever made. Maybe I'm biased, plus I don't have to constantly turn sensors or bongs off going into new speed limits 😂
Hi. Good video about the G87. Just to point out that the speed limit bongs can be defeated y pressing Set on the steering wheel for three seconds. The lane departure can be turned off in MSport mode, still a pita, but no need for delving through the menus. You still have to do it on every start up. 🤷♂️ progress lol.
I've made a decision to never ever buy new again. Way too much tech ruining the excitement of driving (let alone the $$$) I'm not a robot and can see the lanes and vehicles around me perfectly well thanks! EV's? Just more bull to go wrong and decrease the value shockingly fast. So, I'm sticking to my V8 and V10 BWMs. I figure if I have 2 or 3 in the garage I can swap them around and keep their mileages low and that'll see me out 😂 The day the powers that be tell me the V8s on my boat have to be hybrid I will laugh so hard! Another great vid Rob. Agree with everything you say m8.
Isnt the G42 and G87 based on the 3 series's to get the 6 cylinder in, unlike 2 series grand coupe with is based on the 1 series? I have a G42 230i and i lobe it like 2 cars in one and probably enough power i need.
Jesus Rob, again read the Handbook! Button next to gear lever change mode to Sport and the Lane Assist also goes off if you want to cover ground or drive in a spirited manner.
Hi Rob Not anything to do with this video but I can't be arsed searching for the video you did on the KA. I've had a few sherberts after work, sorry 😂 I've just bought a ka from G3 and it needs new badges. Please would you be a gent and send me the link cos I can't find them. Or have I had i had too many sherberts 😊
I think you’ve nailed in in a sense, new cars are obviously amazing with all the tech, safety etc but, the soul has been ripped from them and that soul is from us, the driver, I also get before the eco minded have ago that they are cleaner, surely though manufactures must realise that we are buying older performance cars and spending huge amounts on restoration, general repairs, fuel etc, why can’t they have an option why the tech is not in the car, just basic equipment with a simple clutch, engine and display?
Got a mk8 Golf and both screens went black whilst driving recently; trouble was, the heater was at max boost/heat and, without the graphics, it was impossible to adjust. Just ridiculous. Had a Golf R before and, whilst brilliant to drive, it is a fast track to losing your license; I would worry, with an M2, that it would be too easy to get a lot of points very quickly.
Yes, common issue with Golfs. I've had it happen to several and had to hold the power button on the infotainment system for 10 seconds to reboot it and be able to control the heater.
Shame I’m not local (I’m South Coast) I have an interesting BMW I’d love to have reviewed… the controversial E63 6 series but in 650i form with a 6 speed manual box.
Surely it must be fairly straightforward for car manufacturers to give options for different programmable drive modes, so you can press one button to turn off any of the 'driver assist' (or driver interference) functions you don't want in one go, rather than have to scroll through multiple screens and multiple selections each time you start the car? It's madness that they haven't included this function.
Yes Rob it’s an EU requirement that all the speed and lane garbage comes on each time you start the car (so much for Brexit eh!) the EU actually wanted to physically limit the car to the speed limit, but they were persuaded not to, for now anyway.
all new cars sold in the EU must have advanced emergency braking systems, intelligent speed assistance, emergency lane‐keeping systems, driver drowsiness alert and all sorts of other tech. but were not in the EU i hear you shout so although these laws may not apply in Britain car manufacture's will not make a special model just for us with this tech left out so welcome to the world of all new cars. where you have a shit load of very expensive tech that we struggle to turn of and don't want but we are made to pay for it in the cost of the car
And there lies the problem. We are not "made" to pay for it. It's a choice. All the time punters are willing to splurge that kind of cash on 4 wheels, the manufacturers take that as a nod that the punters want all that tech. Stop buying and they will soon think again. You wouldn't keep going to the same restaurant if they kept on serving dishes you didn't want!
Lane assist is the same on my car, everyday turn it off. It's due to the NCAP rating I believe which is reduced without out, but how is it safe on those small types of road when it starts tugging on the wheel.....grrrr Needs an entrepreneurial person to hack these and let us turn them off at our choice
Definitely not an M2 anymore. More of an M4. The M2 should be simple and compact, this is too fat and has too much tech. Also I think you were being kind on the looks 😂
Good review on the M2 . I have a G42 230i and that’s plenty quick enough in sport if you want this series for half the price . P. S Don’t forget showing the day to day stuff that you are good at as well please Rob !!!
You’re missing the point. The M2 is a smaller and more rewarding sports car than a bigger chassis variant. All the models are aimed at what a particular customer is looking for. The F87 m2 is arguably the best m car to date harking back to the original smaller and raw m3 of the 2000s. New M3 is a saloon also. Just because the number infront of the “M” is a digit higher doesn’t mean the car is better. The 1M is also in the top of the m car classes. These newer G platform cars you are better with the smaller cars for fun and performance not an m3 or higher unless you want more practicality.
@f1sh your point is smaller and lighter is better but that's WHY the new M2 sucks, it's literally a chopped down M4, it's huge and weighs 1800kg. The 1M you mention is the last good m car (f series M2 has epas)
@@johnstape4488 f87 comp was 1650kg on a scale with full tank more less the same as f82 M4 with full tank. G87 is 1725kg full tank , add forged wheels and li-ion battery and it's 1690kg
I owned the OZ M2. It was a very nice car. A very fun car to drive. A little pricey but still doable, but the new M2? Way too expensive. BMW is really gouging their customers. Be that as it may. I'm very happy with my 2023 Mustang GT 6 Speed. All black with chrome badging. Looks like a million bucks and 25k cheaper than the M2.
I have m2 g87 and had a e92 m3.. agree with a lot but e92 was such a raw feeling car and sounded a million times better. I personally think the g87 doesn’t sound great. I had f82 I think that sounded better than g87. But the e92 can’t daily drive it with the MPG etc However i was almost attempted to sell the G87 buy a shit electric car for doing boring trips and put a e92 in the garage as a weekend car
Here in America we still have some freedom. I turned all this crap off the day i got mine and it stayed off. Never had to turn it off again. You guys gotta vote out that nanny state you’ve built for yourselves over there. Why you all want more government controlling you is beyond me. I say that with all due respect of course.
Hello from Ireland again, Rob lol. Jesus, an M2, is an M3, I don't know, Rob. I wouldn't throw either one, out of Bed, lol. It Sounds brilliant. £70k is a bit Crazy, just wait two years, and get one at 50% of that. Or, Matt Armstrong might build one, and Raffle it off, lol. Rob, I think, anyone having that sort of money 💰, for one, there are, a lot of other Cars I could get for £70k, Mate. But what do I know, I sell Motorbikes lol. 🙏🙏👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I will send a Email to BMW Germany to tell them the Little car trader has got it wrong . Having driven all the current range of BMW cars , as i might work at a dealer or not . If BMW along with All other manufactures , will but safety systems on the car as most of joe public will not be able to use 400 Bhp , even when switching traction system off it still working in the back ground . people like your self need theses systems as your driving is not the best at times , as you showed when you where in the snow in the other BMW .
The speed limit warning can be turned off by pressing the Set button on the steering wheel for a few seconds or alternatively can be coded out. The lane departure warning can be turned off via a shortcut or by setting it off in the Individual mode.
First thing to do after start is putting it in sport mode and all annoying stuff is gone.
We will probably find the EU bureaucrats will start off with speed limit warnings being in every start, to always being on, to you cant go over the speed limit unless on a race track.. sad times
Thank you for this video.
As a matter of fact, i personally decide where to spend my money and what car i drive. I will never ever buy a car with all this creepy, useless and stupid technology iniciated by people who have no clue of driving. So i do, and many of the people i talk to are too, do buy older cars. A few of them, older cars and let the car industry build cars no drivers guy ever wants to buy.

Chris Harris made a good point on his podcast a few weeks ago..... The sweetspot for buying a car in the UK was around 2016-2019 when the cars still had a decent sound (less emissions restrictions) and way less tech that just detracts, and distracts, from the actual driving experience.
As a design, and performance icon, I love it.
Unfortunately ALL modern cars are guilty of this modern era trend for dozens of nanny aids and digital dash rubbish.
I'll be keeping my OG M2 forever at this rate.
Short answer is no, no they have not. It’s a great car.
I ran an E90 M3 for 3 years and 45k miles. What a car and what an incredible engine. It screamed all the way to the redline, click for an upshift and go again. I went all across Europe, over the Alps and track days at the ‘ring, Spar & Imola. That car was an all time great Machine. If BMW have given up on their weird design language I’d consider one. If it truly is a new E90 M3 I’ll be first in line at the dealers.
That must be the first BMW in years I like the look of!!!
Just hold the SET button and it will turn off the speed warning,
Speed Limit Warning - Read the Handbook Rob, 1 push of a button on the steering wheel. No problem!
Just bought the new m2 , totally agree it similar to past m3 I’ve owned, love the car tho
I ordered mine 3 weeks ago, can’t wait for it to be delivered!!
Mate loving the content been watching from the beginning, you really are a natural
Good review, it’s a real compromise between technology and raw driving experience. Stick an M3 badge on it job done
I own a 2011 Porsche 997.2 GTS, and purchased a 2024 FType V8, I intend to keep these cars as they are the last of their era, we run a BMW X5 hybrid that will do nearly 60 miles in Electric, and is incredibly good on my daily commute of 40 miles.
I hate to say this Rob but they are correct about the speed limit warning, the law changed in April this year I believe.
Absolutely mad 😂
Complaining about the speed limit warning and other electronic safety features is useless because it is not up to them to put it or not, this is mandatory by law, so a bit not relevant
This is great Rob, I think your channel is going to blow up, your a natural mate keep it coming 👍
Easy to switch off the bongs & lane departure on start up. Add “driver settings” to a shortcut.
Don’t throw it into the hedge, Rob!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again , Rob your presenting is up there with the best.
Push the SET button on the steering wheel and that turns off the speed warning
Cracking video and insight into the car. You do some great reviews, very entertaining combined with super personality. Keep it up !!
The production on this one is absolutely beautiful Rob! Spot on as always, very good watch indeed 👍
Hi Rob you are correct about tech in cars when I bought my 7series you can book a two hour session so that things are explained to you at the end of the time even though it didn’t take two hours I had forgotten a lot of it

BimmerCode is the solution for that beeps etc.

Bros gonna lose his mind as the world gets more techy
Are you becoming the new version of Carwow, reviewing cars.
Is there any way to code off the speed warning etc with something like a Carly?
Unfortunately things like lane assist are mandatory so BMW has no choice. The new M2 is obviously actually a M3 circa 2014
I've made a decision to never ever buy new again.

Same with the cars that are already out there no need too.
Brilliant video 😊😊😊

Blame the EU! Not BMW's fault. At least we can turn them off, the day will come when we can't!
Sick colour.
Looks like ya in and around Otley wish you had taken it up from Otley to Pool bank top flat out. see how it sounded.
Jesus Rob, again read the Handbook! Button next to gear lever change mode to Sport and the Lane Assist also goes off if you want to cover ground or drive in a spirited manner.

I thought i had put on top gear 😂
M2 is topcar ❤
My seat belt ding annoys the fek outta me, i asked a tech how to turn that off and u cant so beeps for speeding would be a deal breaker
Mint review
Got a mk8 Golf and both screens went black whilst driving recently; trouble was, the heater was at max boost/heat and, without the graphics, it was impossible to adjust. Just ridiculous.

Cupra owner here - infotainment problems are my life
Yes, common issue with Golfs. I've had it happen to several and had to hold the power button on the infotainment system for 10 seconds to reboot it and be able to control the heater.
Shame I’m not local (I’m South Coast) I have an interesting BMW I’d love to have reviewed… the controversial E63 6 series but in 650i form with a 6 speed manual box.
Are you a car reviewer or car dealer?
Rob I have a CLS63 S shooting brake final edition if you want to review like this car
You will Drive a analog car, them Drive a Morgen +6.
Colour is Pure Frozen Grey
Too much tech as per ...zzzzzzzzzzzz! 😜
Can you not turn off those annoying functions with an OBD scanner? Cue the Carly sponsorship...

70k , the depreciation is going to be horendous.
Didn’t RTFM - but complains about a good car. Nice video. Blocked.

The latest modification has introduced Listen To Keir when you turn the engine on.
6 pointed Starmer, you sayyyyyyy?🤔
Modern cars are terrible
Good review on the M2 . I have a G42 230i and that’s plenty quick enough in sport if you want this series for half the price .
P. S Don’t forget showing the day to day stuff that you are good at as well please Rob !!!
M2 vs 230i is no comparison. Sorry.
@ you’ve missed the point my friend . Not everyone can afford an M2 .
Can buy a 2024 M3 for £70k I don't know why you would buy a M2?
