In the owners manual, it states the exhaust button does not do anything unless the car is up to temperature. Maybe thats why for you there was no difference?
No, it’s because the engine mode has to be set different too.
@@JVette01 might be as well. But check page 131 of owners manual: „During the engine warm-up phase, sound control (the button) does not have any effect on the sound of the exhaust system.“
Interesting. I will have to look into that
When you select sport mode for the dash, ask bmw through voice command to show sport display, the car will automatically load and show a performance page
I will have to look into this
RTFM.
Picked up mine yesterday in sapphire black. Thanks for the review.
Congrats!
This is SUCH a great video, really useful stuff that no normal review would ever show and great for someone looking to buy it. ❤
Thank you!
My G87 M2 order is suppose to be dropped off at the dealership this month. Not anxious or anything!
Congrats!!
i picked mine on Saturday, i am realy happy😍 i got the Colour Brooklyn Grey😁
Had my Brooklyn Grey M2 for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it.
That’s great to hear!
M2 seems to hook WAY better than the M4 comp rwd, which is great.
M4/M3 comp needs xdrive. Rwd comp traction control either intervenes and robs all the power/fun or turn off tc and spin 1-3rd gear.
You can actually start and launch in 1st gear with the m2!
Yeah it gets amazing traction. Just headed out to Mexico today and the tires weren’t spinning at all. Even from a dig.
the heated steering only turns on when the temps are below 50F and you should see an icon too on your dash : )
No icon on the dash. Where would I see it?
Xdrive advantage comes into play in the wet and winter time driving in snow or just really cold temperatures! Rear wheel drive mode like the M3 competition would be phenomenal!
Subscribed because I want to buy this but the 2026 Xdrive
Same, I live in Canada so rwd is not really an option :)
Besides the M card to lock/unlock/start your M2, you can also program your phone as a digital key to do the same. With the phone you have to touch the lock “lines” on the door handle for the phone to work and you have to put the phone in the charging stand to start the car. The M sound button I believe amplifies the exhaust sound through the speakers. It’s the fake noise you hear in lots of cars including the Golf R. It always defaults ON. After starting the car, you have to hit the button to turn off the fake sound. I love the brake hold button which can be defaulted to ON so at a stop, you can take your foot off the brake and the car doesn’t roll forward. I also like that the auto start/stop button can be set to always default to OFF. Have you found out how under sport mode to show the vitals on the infotainment screen? It’ll show HP, Torque, oil temp, and boost all on one screen.
Thanks for weighing in.. I’m not sure how to pop up that screen, I’ve never seen it
I’m vacationing in Hawaii right now so I’m not near my car, but in the owner’s manual on page 145 it’s titled “Sport Display”….cool graphics! Try it.
Waiting on delivery for my frozen grey M2. Cant wait!
Your exhaust function may not be working because its suppose to get louder when turned on.
It does but it only works in sport and sport plus. Efficient mode will always have a quiet exhaust regardless of what the button says
Not for me, in efficient mode, hitting the button opens the exhaust valves and you hear it louder. So I suggest you get it looked at. 20240 m2, manual
Have the M2 and I've been trying to figure out how to turn off the Gong (or bump). It's trying to do an artificial dual clutch bump.
What are you referring to?
I think the steering stays straight due to unusually wide front tires needed because the car is disproportionately heavy.
I think it’s just the way it’s designed. My Mustang was also “front heavy” and the steering wheel went back like normal
@@JVette01 Ahh, yes I have never had that. I like to release the wheel and let it smoothly return straight in my hand.
@@JVette01it doesn’t return to center due to no caster angle. Electric power steering doesn’t need caster any more unlike hydraulic power steering which needs the caster to return to center
Manuals look cool but automatic win races. Plus if I ever need someone to drive my car they can.
This is how I felt at first and ended up in an automatic Supra. Now I'm waiting for my g87 to be delivered and going back to manual lol
Manual is better, auto is really lazy and won’t be a future classic
@@BrendanTorrance Lazy? I track mine and care about my times so I take the car I can daily and win.
@@bobstarrManual is better dude, the way a car should be driven, calm down it was a general comment
Does m2 mode make it become manual mode or are the gears super long? I was in 2nd it said S2 but I felt like it was redlining. I am in the break in period so I didn’t go over 4000 rpms
It depends on how you have it programmed. If it's in "S", that means sequential (manual).
@@JVette01 can you do a video of your most aggressive settings? So would I put it in D3 to make it the most aggressive automatic mode?
I just make a video eventually on that to help with any confusion
@@JVette01 does the m2 take forever to warm up? 100 degrees here today and I was driving it in normal mode and wouldn’t go past 200 degrees but I was driving slow
hi. nice video. at 6:19 you said you were in neutral but the dash icon and shifter said D (drive), hence why the car moved forward
I mapped the M1 button to sport and valves open mode. I didn’t notice the steering not coming back, I wonder if it behaves differently in sport steering mode.
2:30 not only take of your b58 but all the M engines prior to that too lol at least 1998+ M models
That’s cool!
@@JVette01😊😊q😮😮😮😮😮😮qq
Dang 56F and hooking up from a dig is really impressive. F80 could NOT do that with 4S
Off topic but where do you wash your M2. I've just been washing my own but I need professional help 😂
Just wondering what you do to keep ur car clean
I wash it myself at home
This G series is a brand new model , I luv this.. wonder if these big screens get air bubbles .. like mine does in an f22 .. or $3000.00 to replace for the original gps screen . What do you think ?
Hope not
Just dropped my dct f83 at the dealer for work and got given a 24 reg m2 as a loaner.
Ive had a ZF bmw as well.
They have tried to make the shifter of the ZF feel like the DCT with the way it moves between drive modes.
Yeah, it feels great and it's very smooth.
I know if I'm driving down the road and turn off the exhaust button, it actually gets quieter even if I'm in Eco mode.
Maybe it disables the interior noise, not sure
Love the colour, mine is black. Have you done any mods to protect the front exposed oil cooler? Mine has been chipped pretty badly
I have not.. yet. We’ll see
What about pressing the SET button on the steering wheel to deactivate the speeding warning (which is a pain) ?
I don't have that activated.. never got a speed warning chime.
what's the fuel consumption if you drive fast this car?
like 10l/km?
Not sure in that conversion, but I usually get around 19mpg since I do quite a few pulls and races.
FYI: M sound is for the burbles; when you let off the gas.
Thanks for letting me know
there is absolutely no good way to close ur trunk without getting ur fingers on it besides the latch for the locking mechanism which I find Is stupid
oh also completely exposed heat exchanger and oil cooler ONLY ON THE AUTOMATICS MIGHT I ADD. The Manuals get metal guards to protect from rocks... WHICH IS ALSO COMPLETELY STUPID
Yes you can. There are cutouts in the trunk liner on the trunk lid that help you close it.
@@JVette01 dude aint no fucking way... checking rn
steering sucks on these cars. It is one of the things that annoy me. The Golf R has better steering, which is unexpected. And the other weirdo things: you can't see your MPG when parked.
Very true. Strange indeed. However, in the center screen you can look a trip data
yea ofc the golf r HATCHBACK with AWD is going to have better steering
Did you buy the key card on your own or did BMW include it? If you bought it did you have to go to the dealer to program it or can you do it through Idrive like when you set up the phone as a digital key?
Key card was included! I haven’t set up my phone as a key yet.
Really? Was yours a HEA car? Mine was a factory order that was delivered May 25th but I did not receive a key card.@@JVette01
How much faster is the m2 compared to the m240/m340 if you’ve driven either of those? I’ve seen your racing videos but I just wanted to know the actual feeling haha. My m2 comes in July. Super upset the 2025 gets more horse power
Probably won’t be able to tell the difference with 20 horse power though
It feels quicker at the top end. The b58 has great torque so it takes off similar but the s58 keeps piling on speed whereas the b58 kinda flatlines after the initial pull
@@JVette01 kinda upset the new m2 2025 gets more horsepower and torque
Not only +20hp which is minimal, but also improved throttle response and suspension tuning. Plus flat bottom steering wheel, new M2 badges and iDrive 8.5. However, it is an extra $1,400 base price. Anyways, how do you like your new M2? I'm assuming you took delivery by now. Mine is on order with an October build date. Cheers!
The steering wheel heater button Drives me crazy! At least, it should illuminate when on.
That would make more sense!
Yes agree only shows on the heads up display when you activate it and deactivate it
Any advise on how to activate launch control? Do I have to wait a certain amount of miles?
1200 miles. Sport plus. DSC off. Sequential mode (3rd setting) then floor the brake and gas.
Thanks !
Oh it has to be in sequential?
Yes
Does the rear have climate controls and usb c ports
Nope. Only 2023 models
@@JVette01 for sure! 2024 ZB otw can’t wait
I sort of wish they made this ONLY available in a manual transmission. I know this won't be a popular comment, but it would make the car even more special and mostly prevent amateurs and a**hats from buying them.
I’m so glad they didn’t. I like having options
I just bought one automatic cuz I had the money. Why would you buy a stick where the computer can shift much faster than you can ?
@@kckc4258 it's way more fun. Btw, the manual is more expensive and will be a future classic.
The BMW manual is shit
I got a manual g87 and the first half of the video doesn’t apply to us lol :(
M2 owner, i found that Lane assist is pretty cool feature where the steering wheel moves to correct you and keep you in lane when you veer out of lane.
That's how I almost died ....
@@-IsleOfSkye- oh yikes
The exhaust button 😵💫😂
Brother i am happy for your new car i have the same but it is obvious you havent read the owners manual. Everything you mention on this video is already described in detail in the manual including the buttons you havent figured out. I understand it might be big and intimidating for some people to read but you will do yourself a favor and it will help you to take better care of your car.
Thanks for sharing
