@@umah. LOL, this is not a supercar channel. It is called AutoTrader, ffs. But they almost always only show supercars and other high end expensive cars...
oh kay, I can't with BMW. They're killing the only model in the line up I actually care about. I wish the CS was a bit lighter, like they could have stripped it out a bit more and made it cheaper and left the rest as ads, this is slightly disappointing to me a CS is supposed to be light weight focused but other than that. It's good I suppose.
@@zakrylee9918 At 75K no. Even after depreciation that's still +55K at best and a tad over what I'd consider reasonable for something like this. At best I could lease I suppose but even leasing at this point would probably be unjustifiable for me. We'll have to see.
It’s not progressive to drift at all, once you put on opposite lock and then give bit throttle, the active rear diff kicks in and then the diff tries to pull the car straight, driver always have to make steering correction to compensate the rear diff, you can see at 7:05, not natural, not linear, but useful on the track for a good lap time, it helps you to pull the car straight earlier after the apex
Always adored the M2 since it’s launch - the CS is going to be yet another unicorn bmw car that will probably gain value . Just a shame it’s out of reach for the most of us .
@@farainyika2365 Pretty sure it won't be. They've once said it will stay RWD since the people who buy them really care about it compared to the 1 series
Farai Nyika Next 2 Series Coupe will still be RWD, the 2 Series Grand Coupe is just a 1 Series “Sportback” if you talk Audi. At least, that’s what I’ve heard. The M2 sells so well, BMW should look to continue that formula, but do expect X-Drive like the new M3 and M4.
Filipolis I tell you, judging from what I see and hear online and in the real world, if the next 2 series coupe is FWD, BMW sales charts will be very sad. Normally, I don’t care about the FWD vs RWD argument, but I can’t help but care now because the M2 is one of my favourites...
george ibrahim they said the same about the M3/4 and look what happened there... after the X7 and Concept 4 everyone was worrying about the M3/4, Domagoj Dukec even said after the backlash the Concept 4 received, that the grille wouldn’t make its way to the production cars and it was just a test on the concept, look what happened in the end though... don’t trust a word that comes out of BMW’s mouths, that new grille is going to be the new face of the brand and the only way it will go is if they lose sales because of it.
george ibrahim also that article was wrote in April so lots of things have changed with BMW since then and they even state in the first few lines ‘We are not sure if this is a 2 series coupe’
First comment on this channel after a complete binge. Rory, you're one of the few of us who has been blessed with the perfect vocation! Subbed for life.
Rory “I quite like the girth” Sorry couldn’t help it. Great video as always. It’s at the top of my app if there’s a new video and I click... simple #knobgang
@@robertolombardi3698 there’s some leaked image of it it looks very good and it has no big grill 😉 it’s also RWD here’s prove www.motor1.com/news/414821/bmw-2-series-spy-no-camo/
Rory, can I just say, you’re every bit as good as my other favourite reviewers; Catchpole, Harris and Prosser. Keep up the excellent work and you’ve just got yourself a new subscriber!
No on the price, car companies taking the piss. With Audi asking for over 100k on some of their RS models is just nuts. Buyer’s are to blame too, as they mad enough to pay that amount. In short, until car companies start asking fair prices for their products, don’t buy them.
Think you need to be a bit more critical Rory, you are so positive about every car you drive. My own experience with the M2 is that it is a phenomenal sports car but demanding and fidgety as a daily driver and for most, an M3/M4 comp is going to be just a way more versatile machine for fun driving. Remember you have to get to and from the good road too.
I think it’s worth the money. Not only imo is it the best looking new car it also is going to be rare as it’s a cs it’s liveable as it does have 4 seats and it comes in a manual to keep the drivers car sense alive. But I’d definitely be pairing the M specific blue with the gold rims
The current M2 is perfection.... If the new M2 will look anything like the new M3/M4, I don't think I see myself buying a BMW in the next few years. Gotta move to Porsche. I have an M235i now and it's great. What is happening to BMW???
great to see a presentation in the rain...and some pretty heroic driving :) - as to what it is worth.....about half that - obviously - EVs will offer these dynamics, minus the fuel and maintenance overheads within 2 ys...at half the price
Raw materials all cost the same, doesn't matter what shape they are moulded into. The price is bassed on the company's ability to get inside your head and make you feel like you need one
Ignoring the crass comments already made about the steering wheel, those of us with rheumatoid arthritis who also still enjoy slinging a car around appreciate the larger diameter of the wheel grip.It’s much easier to hold, therefore making the car easier to manage.
@Boss ` I said before you have a hissy fit..its perilously close to less common cars like f type, 2nd hand Aston, Porsche, I'm talking about the BMW brand . Now take a pill
Is not a drivers car, steering is electric and the engine is turbo charged so doesnt require driving. Is a daily really rather than a special sports car.
Rory is a good chap but misinformed on the transmission. Rowing six speeds in the city is madness. My M2 has the m/DCT and it's heaven. I grew up with manuals and I don't want to bother with that anymore.
Alcantara steering wheel is very nice when it's new but after a year or so, it's just really unpleasant to look at & to touch as they never thought about how alcantara will looks & feel after few months and it's a material that ruins very quickly. I know this from my current Audi RS3 2018 and it should be only leather. Alcantara is only great on seats but never on a steering wheel.
I drive M2C and I did not go for the CS. The biggest problems, from my point of view, about the C/CS are: - 1. Weight. Over 1600kg. You can't feel it if you came from a "soft" lightweight sportscar like even the MX-5, because MX-5 has softer suspension thus bigger body roll, so compared to that, M2 concealed the weight quite nicely. However, if you came from a harder sportscar like the cayman/911 especially with 1/2/3 cm lowered suspension, you are going to feel the weight of the car and the body roll. It's a bloody good sport coupe but you can't cheat physics. - 2. Sitting position. While it's "spot on" like Rory said in the video, it's also too tall. It feels like you sit on the bench, not in the car. The high sitting position does not make you feel special although it is a special car. - 3. Engine noise. While the l6 is smooth and powerful, inside the cabin, even with sport plus mode, it's simply to quiet. Yes if you go hard from 3k-7k RPM you can feel it, but because it's so fast, that you can't stay long in that range before you have to change up a gear or two. So you have only very shot period of time to enjoy the engine which is a masterpiece, and that is a shame. For the same money, buy a GTS 4.0 / GT4 if you are a true sportscar fan.
I drove a manual M2 comp and I really didn't like it. Gearbox felt like it was made out of plastic, engine had zero character. I was really disappointed that it basically felt like a hot hatch for $50k (used).
Ok Rory... I just been on autotrader & there’s no M2s left at 4K

Best car reviewer by far!!. Infact I end up loving every car he reviews
Hands down the best TH-cam presenter/reviewer. My man full sends every car!!! Keep it up bro!
He is far from the best presenter/youtuber 😂😂
Chris is better
Awesome review Rory. The King of all car reviewers. Stay humble - Stay blessed!
Why does this channel has less subscribers? Your reviews are awesome.
Because most people follow "hype" not "quality"
So truee @Cuki..best yet!!!!
Probably because it is 90% supercars, that no one can ever afford to buy.

Too expensive for the money... at that price I’d be getting a second hand 911 Carrera S, Aston Martin V8 or Nissan GTR.
so get a second hand m2 then
I understand where you're coming from, but these particular M2's will hold their value.
Could get a really good GTR and a Aston for £75k!
Good luck with the warranty out of date with those cars.
Lord of the Jungle good luck with an out of warranty BMW. Not to mention they lose half their value in 2-3 years.

Doesn't the m2 comp use the m4 engine ? So whats special here besides the body kit and steering ratio ?

I do, but after sixty years I've realised there's nowt I can do about , especially in Cumbria..........apart from moan, of course.
@@ronwhite8503 Well, you can always rent HAARP from Muricanistanis and point the rain to Nederlands.
I thought English weather was bad until I moved to Ireland. Irish weather is so depressing, it makes Chernobyl look like Disneyland
Rory has risen to the top of the heap. Oh, and the cars he reviews aren't half bad, either.
I feel watching your review is worth every second!😍👌🏻👍🏻
M2 always reminded me of the old school m3
Chris Harris said that of the standard m2 on top gear iirc
This guy do his show with great sense of dedication and enthusiasm.👍🏼

An M5 is more versatile than an M4, but that’s not the M4’s fault.
I respect you standing out in the rain, reviewing a master crafted machine 💪 🙌 👏 👌 😀 👍
Man like Rory still killing it 👍🏾❤
You guys could always get a 124 spider, with a carbon roof even, and map the engine. Would be over 200bhp per tonne.

Rory could review anything and i'd still watch. Maybe not books tho.
Nice review
I’m happy with my current comp 😇 got a great deal on it and I can tune it myself to have the same power
Don’t

i want to buy every car this man reviews. Love your reviews man. Once again amazing job
Superb presenter. Best around, by a mile!

very interesting review... 👌 One of the last real fun cars in Europe 😎
I will literally gouge my eyes off if the next generation m2 has the same grill as the same m3/m4. I cant unsee that (sob)
great to see a presentation in the rain...and some pretty heroic driving :) - as to what it is worth.....about half that - obviously - EVs will offer these dynamics, minus the fuel and maintenance overheads within 2 ys...at half the price
Only on about 5 days of the year can you get proper performance out of it. I had M4 CP, spun it’s wheels until 4th most days.
When you love the presenter Rory more than the car you came here to see reviewed
Purest, most beautiful car I have ever seen
By far the best car journalist
Feedback: do a speed test 0-60 to verify time 👌🏾... another excellent review on a beautiful car 🤩
what are the model of the tyres ? Michelin PSS or PS Cup 2 Connect ? Really impressive under the rain !
Raw materials all cost the same, doesn't matter what shape they are moulded into. The price is bassed on the company's ability to get inside your head and make you feel like you need one

Dope car review Rory
Watch this be a future classic CSL style
Great review😎
Did this man just get soaked standing outside and nailing his lines? Great job mate
sorry but if I had 75K (which I don't) I certainly wouldn't spend it on an M2
@Boss ` uhh. Yes it does..stunning car but over priced.
Me neither 75k is perilously close to some let's say " less common " cars
This car will maintain its value forever might even be a good investment if you gonna take good care of it
@Boss ` I said before you have a hissy fit..its perilously close to less common cars like f type, 2nd hand Aston, Porsche, I'm talking about the BMW brand . Now take a pill
@Boss ` that's fine and thats where we differ
Very amazing drifts
that power into such a small car has to make it fun to drive
Imo this was the last bmw left with heritage. rip bmw
Ceramics are hated by people going on track alot because of the cost off replacing them
This is definitely a future classic
really fucking nice video TOP NOTCH QUALITY OF VIDEOGRAPHY
E P I C DRIVING SKILLS 💎 STAY BLESSED
the m locking diff and the cf strut brace are in m2 comp too. didn't the reviewer drive one or didn't do some research before making the video ?
Jesus christ I almost had a heart attack when you said the M2 was going to be discontinued - ha!
BMW is cancelling the M2 after noticing that it's way better and involving drive than the beloved M3
