Wow, wasn’t expecting so much power. BMW really went balls to the wall with this one. Let’s appreciate the fact that this is most likely the last M vehicle that’ll have a manual and a non-hybrid powertrain. Hats off to BMW for making this, but it does sadden me knowing that this is it.
Power to weight ratio! Everyone talking about the huge power bump realize the weight increase is nearly like driving around with 2 more adults in the car? It needed the bump in HP just to keep it competitive. When the GTR came out all everyone talked about how heavy it was ….. here we are a decade and a half later with the smallest and lightest RWD BMW M car weighing even more(!)
@@KarmaticEvolution I definitely feel like the new M2 is a strictly love it or hate it. the drastic visual differences will 100% reach a new audience versus something like the F87
I prefer the styling of the previous M2C. I wouldn't say this is 'terrible', and it's better than the new M3/M4, but the last gen M2C was basically perfect.

Agree, and I’m guessing it’ll look a little better in person. I absolutely hated the leaked pics of G80/82 but then when I saw it in person the presence was excellent and I was sold🥲
I'm glad that BMW releases its models with internal combustion engines, which gives you uniqueness in its new models, soon unfortunately it will be very rare...
I liked your video too joe, such a genuine car reviewer. no hyperbole, just facts. I happen to love the rear bumper though, even with the accents. keep it up man!
That would mean “average”, “vanilla”, something everyone likes. Boring, typical. Fuck that. Polarizing creates a hard dividing line, which means bloodlust or hate. Much rather prefer that direction than a widely accepted generic “cool” design.
I still can't understand what they wanted to show as the next generation of the M2 through an exterior design. Why emphasize the square? where the square shape came from? to be honest, the front design is kind of the after-market style.
Thank you for keeping the manual alive! This clearly shows BMW and M’s commitment to making their cars driver focused which is what the fans love about the brand! That said, I honestly would have preferred a more traditional and driver focused dashboard layout with an individual housing for the drive information gauge cluster and have the iDrive 8 system in the middle. This curved screen looks more at home in an EV or a less focused car. Hope the LCI model gets this replaced with a more driver centric layout….although I highly doubt that will be possible..
Dear BMW, I’ve owned the E30 M3, E36 M3, E46 M3, E92 M3, F82 M4, and F87 M2C. I was proud to own each one. I had a deposit down for the 2023 M2 and had intended to remain a loyal BMW customer for life, but your exterior designs have become so embarrassing that I’m giving up on you and moving over to Porsche. Epic fail, BMW.
“You’re at the center of a world few will appreciate.” That’s a quote from the marketing campaign for the XM. They describe the styling as brutalistic. BMW has a very odd business plan to make unpopular designs at such a moderate price point. They aren’t getting Lambo prices for these intentionally niche designs.
I've had half those cars you have.. I think it looks good.. to me it looks like a modern e30 m3 with some e36 m3 cues.. Only thing I don't like on this m2 is weight and I feel they could of fine tune sculpted the rear little better...
@@ktr7295 bmw never failed to deliver an awsome looking cars and this looks different yet amazing as always..u need to see it live on the road not on the phone to judge it.
Wow finally. No obnoxious grill design. This is a stunning example. Finally an automaker who gets it. I hope this trend continues. Those hideous over sized grills were looking terrible. I don’t get why one commenter said the looks are "questionable", the headlights are low key and beautiful. It almost looks like the vehicle has a wide body kit, extremely bad ass and seductive.
Near the end of combustion era. Car manufacturers are capitalising on combustion performance before moving to electric. High end performance vehicles are being offered in lower cost than ever. Beautiful.
I really want to like it but the front proportions are just off, rear is it’s best angle for sure. It’s also a bit disappointing that the car basically shares the wide body as the regular 2 series this time around. Either way, I think peak (modern day) BMW was the M2 CS with its classic and timeless BMW looks and proportions along with a fairly basic interior. This new flat screen design dashboard I don’t think will age well.
Unlike in the comments section below, the majority of people on the comments section of other videos are panning the car's looks and I respect their opinions but I know it is how this car will perform and drive that will win any argument ultimately. I want to see this beast in black.
that's because they're deleting negative comments and the real opinion is on other videos. It is hideous and the only thing that makes it look half decent is comparing it to BMW's current butt ugly lineup
the front reminds me of the m6 and the body is much better than the f87 m2 that looked like and suv and a coupe had a kid. The back looks way better than what i saw on leaked pics. If the n3/m4 had the og small bmw grills they would me much better
I wish I got this instead of settling for a good price and a car I don’t like. so regret my recent purchase. hopefully this summer prices change and I can get this.
I’m gonna buy one!! I waited a long time for a car like this 😍..I’m so happy that one manufacturer is building a real emotional sports car .. and of course manual

Bmw //M says they won't drop the manual gearbox
looks are definitely questionable, but the performance is insane. love it or hate it, this m2 is setting a new precedent.
Compared to the BMW 1M it's ugly.
I feel they did a good enough job, especially compared to the base 2-series.
Edited for spelling🙃

The new M2 is a definition of a true driver’s car.
For sure, also funny how there are no comments on a comment from a youtuber with 1 million subscribers.

Why is it now difficult for BMW to make universally attractive designs?

@@TheAnix this strategy seems to not be working very well
Record sales. Seems to be working very well.
@@marciliojunior4919 if it’s weeding folks like you out who can’t adapt and evolve then I think it’s working out fine.
