Great breakdown, appreciate your thoughts on M2 vs M3 since you have both in the garage. I had an M3 xDrive previously which I sold but loved it. Big reason for selling it is I now have an M2 (manual,and same color as you) in production and like you say they're are pretty similar but it's hard to justify keeping the bigger, less fun, and way more expensive one even though it is a great car overall. As you say the base prices are close to 20k and the difference between my specs was closer to 30k which is crazy
I take it that you have test driven the manual G87. Would you be able to delve deeper into why you ultimately chose the G87 over the G80? I am seriously considering buying either the G87 or the G82 XDrive. I appreciate your input.
@christmasisawesome9348 if your thinking about manual no point even considering a m3 xdrive. I found paddle shifters boring so I went for g87 in manual and better for it, manual transmission was defo better than my 2019 wrx sti
I agree with all of your thoughts/comments/perspective. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the M3 until I’ve seen your M3. Your M3 is 🔥 If I needed AWD, I’d pick the M3. Between the two, I still prefer the M2. Beautiful whips! 💪👀😎
Yo Tommy! I think for me it depends on which angle of the rear I look at. Looking from the side it just looks cut off but the added spoiler definitely helps it a bit.
There are some sligth differences in steering and shifting between M2 and M3CX. In my opinion M3 is just better car overall in terms of space, flexibility of driving parameters, interior quality and exterior look. As a daily I would never pick M2, as a 2nd car in garage it’s okey but there are other options on a table for that purpose at this price tag. For daily driving and a fun car at the same time take M3. You won’t regret 😁
Awesome Video, I have a LCI G80 M3 XDrive, love it for the pure fact that you can switch between 2wd and Awd, think the M2 would be a game changer for me if it came in Xdrive. So for now, with 2 little ones I'll stick with the M3, maybe save up and get a M2CS and have the best of both worlds🤘🏻
Always wanted your input from having both. But that is wild though to sell the M3 but it makes sense. Not too mention you'll make out ahead on it financial wise. The M4 was my dream car until the M2 came out. I plan to spec it with ALL options. 77K. I could get a used M4 but man, I think I would choose the M2 every time IDK why
excellent insight, been following your m2 vids lately and you got yourself a new sub... as a former g80 xdrive owner (which I loved) with a g87 6 speed coming in less than a month, I'm glad to hear the case for the m2. definitely will be doing a bootmode or jb4 on it. would be interesting to see a vid with your perspective on the different tunes available if you have experience with them. keep pumping out the good content!
I think if you look at the M2 in context of the old E36 from the 90's with the squared off look, this could be an evolution of that. I think what took everyone by surprise was that the new M2 was not an evolution of the old design.
Great video! This is exactly where I'm currently at as far as which one to choose. You hit all the pros and cons right on. Have you seen any M2 front end mods, kidney grills, splitter etc?
You’re exactly the type of person I made the for! I’ve seen a few different options as for as front end mods go for the M2. I’m working with a company now on some carbon bits.
Yes I will be adding them. In September i'll be driving down to California to go to Bimmer Invasion. My M2 will be at a companies booth to unveil their new carbon stuff for the M2
Really appreciate the comparison from an owner's perspective. I also could not justify the extra 20K for the M3 and just picked up the M2. What company did you go with for the downpipe and tune? Only had the car a week and the first thins I ordered was oil cooler and front heat exchanger protection. Went with Zunsport. Haven't got them yet but will let you know how they work out. Thanks again for a great vid!
Great job on your journey, I also have a G87 and I'm curious if you know how to turn off the lane assist permanently? I have to turn it off every time I start the vehicle, and I have not found any way to keep it off, it's the one thing driving my nuts about the car. Also do 6:016:016:016:016:01 you have any thoughts on titan7s fitment offerings for the G87?
Thanks my friend. Just found you yesterday. Will catch up on your channel. Expecting my black on black to go into production this week. Are you happy with the set up?
Im considering the m3. But what lures me away from the m2 is my height I’m 6’4. Do you I can fit comfortably in the driver seat? Honestly I’m just gonna have the car in weekends and take it to the canyons maybe once a year to the track.
a better price comparison between the two chassis would be m2 manual and m3/4 manual. My current combo is a g80 manual and tesla 3P. Tesla going soon, i never look forward to driving it and the savings isn't worth it. I think m3 xdrive to replace the tesla
Im buying an m3 still cause of that sexy ass grill, Better aftermarket support (people already got 1000hp+ out of these) and because its a 4 door cars, and we all know 4 doors 4 whores so like… Why not??
@@tuxon_speed dam that sucks i would keep the m3 personally because the looks of it is insane but the m2 is also really good just sell both of them and get a m4csl or m5cs
The M3 G80 its a better car , in my opinion , the M2 got soft , light steering , heavy car ( same as m3 ) , less space , and worst looks ( in my opinion ) . Ok the M2 in real life its better than in photos , however..... a M3 is a more capable car , the only downside of the M3 , its more expensive to buy than the M2 , now the M2 has the fact of being a new , and all the hype it s on the m2 , like it was on the supra mk5 when release , or the GR Yaris. If u want a more pratic car , buy a M3 , if u want a sportscar , buy a Porsche cayman or a previous M2 Comp . I have a G80comp , and had a e92 , 1m , f80 m3 , and drove the m2 , 2 weeks ago, total dissapointing , and i am a bmw fan.
You're the only one that said M3 is better to drive, never heard that before and I'm sure you're wrong. This whole video was about the owner's experience saying that his m2 drives better than the m3. In fact he's selling his m3
Main thing no space for rear seat passengers and if that didn’t matter there would be the Porsche Cayman to consider. Personally not interested in modding I would rather get the car I wanted from the factory.
M340i is a better deal over the M3 comp , saves money, handles better, drives really good and the modification on the M340i goes very well. And M2 comp is a great pick over the both if u want a 2 door
Nice review. I’m sure a lot of people agree with you on the M2 as there is currently a waiting list at my dealership of a year or more. Thanks again.
My thoughts exactly! Thanks for watching man!
Great comparison! Totally agree with you 100% I think a M2 manual and a used X3M would be the perfect combo
An X3M would be awesome!

Great review! I own a Brooklyn gray G87 and I agree it gets a lot of attention!
Thanks for watching! It’s an amazing car, right?!
I picked the g87. Because I couldn't afford the g80 lol. Love it though. Zandvoort blue 6MT. Paying $1250 a month for the g87. The g80 was like $1750
Fortunately I bought the G80 when rates were lower so I’m at around $1450
Oh wow. Crazy what a difference the interest rate makes. Great content BTW. Subbed ✅
Thanks man! I appreciate that a ton!
Lol same boat here! But I fucking love my M2!! I had an M340I I know not a true M, but the closest I can compare and I truly like the M2 more
I concur. I got rid of my g82 comp for a manual g87. Unlocked the dme and never looked back.
Damnnn comments like this make me want to upgrade my g42 to G87 😭
I agree with all of your thoughts/comments/perspective. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the M3 until I’ve seen your M3. Your M3 is 🔥
If I needed AWD, I’d pick the M3. Between the two, I still prefer the M2. Beautiful whips! 💪👀😎
Thanks man! Since I’m looking to go bigger power on the M2 I really wish it was AWD 😭
M2 is indeed amazing. I’ve grown to love it…as long as I don’t look at the rear

just configured a 240i XDrive, M2 Coupe and M4 Comp XDrive, all pretty fully loaded: 72.000,- €, 88.000,- € and 122.000,- € 😳

That might just be something you can code out with BimmerCode. I know they are working on releasing it for the g87

Hey buddy! I’ve documented just about everything I’ve done to the M2 here on the channel so definitely take a look at some of those videos!
Thanks my friend. Just found you yesterday. Will catch up on your channel. Expecting my black on black to go into production this week. Are you happy with the set up?
Solid breakdown
Thanks man!
Im considering the m3. But what lures me away from the m2 is my height I’m 6’4. Do you I can fit comfortably in the driver seat? Honestly I’m just gonna have the car in weekends and take it to the canyons maybe once a year to the track.
You’ll be fine, if you need the extra head space, spec it with the carbon roof that should give you a little more room there
Is the car spinning a lot since its a stage 2 how does it put the power down
Horribly lol.
What are your draggy times with stage 2?
That´s so hepfull, thanks man
a better price comparison between the two chassis would be m2 manual and m3/4 manual. My current combo is a g80 manual and tesla 3P. Tesla going soon, i never look forward to driving it and the savings isn't worth it. I think m3 xdrive to replace the tesla
So with all that added power
To the m2, do u feel like u really need xdrive ?
10000% yes
@@tuxon_speed so even with that u would still take the m2? I plan on tuning the m2 to 700 whp lol
Awesome breakdown
Thanks bro!
I can’t afford any of those cars I will stick to my e93 m3 for now lol. Probably will pick one up from used market in 5 years or so.
😂same bro
I'm sticking to my Nissan and buying another house.
How’s the audio system m2 vs m3
It’s very similar in both cars really. Not great.
Great video
Thanks for watching!
Let's say that they both cost the same. Would you still pick the M2 over the M3/M4?
Seeing the two together really puts it into perspective, I want both 🤣 really an M3 touring thi
I’ve got my sights on that new M5 touring 🤤
Is it me, or is the steering lighter in the M3?
Yeah it is lighter in the m3
Im buying an m3 still cause of that sexy ass grill, Better aftermarket support (people already got 1000hp+ out of these) and because its a 4 door cars, and we all know 4 doors 4 whores so like… Why not??
Got both of them, the M3 is the daddy 💪
The real reason I’d pick the M2 is because the 🐽 faced G80/2/3 never grew on me.
😂 I honestly love it
@@tuxon_speed I respect that. I’ll never knock anyone for liking it. (I do like the M4 CSL 😅)
Believe it or not, I never hated it. Love it more than ever now though.
@@tuxon_speed dam that sucks i would keep the m3 personally because the looks of it is insane but the m2 is also really good just sell both of them and get a m4csl or m5cs
Or just send it and get a Porsche 🤣

Yeah man totally understand. Modding isn’t for everyone that’s for sure.
M2 cuz it’s smaller and better looking
M340i is a better deal over the M3 comp , saves money, handles better, drives really good and the modification on the M340i goes very well. And M2 comp is a great pick over the both if u want a 2 door
This has to be a troll comment 😂
@@tuxon_speed M340i is such an underrated car bro , iykyk mann
It’s an overweight Supra. It’s not even close to being in the same league as an M2 or M3
I'll take the m3 or m2 over the m340
The new M2 is just ugly as hell. Idk maybe it will grow on me but im shopping for a new car and considering the old one over it.
The lower intakes on the M2, just look awful...AWFUL. The rear looks amazing!
M2 is very lumpy and ugly compared to the nicely look M3.
I completely disagree. That's the cool thing about cars though, not everyone has to like a certain car
Sorry m3 is so better looking
