      Hardly, the M2 isn't double the price, it's £10k less than double. An M240i is the same price and still demolishes the Type R in every way.

      Keep in mind the Type R also has a lot more room for additional buildable aftermarket horsepower (some of these are already at well over 400 hp) and a whole crap load of suspension upgrades. And the reliable Honda nameplate to boot. Not so much for the Beemer. Very little support offered from the aftermarket, and as well from BMW itself.

    I really would like to hear a little more of the impressions you've got regarding to the steering, brakes, how likely it turns in etc. Especially the things each of the cars does quite better than the other one.
    Besides I really like to have a comparison with a Renault Megane RS, but that's just a personal thing 😄

      noth606 true, not everyone buys cars/motorcyles to be the next Rossi aiming to break records. Some have the financial freedom to buy nice expensive sport cars, and some are true enthusiasts who appreciate what the machine can do. Not to say lack of skill buyers dont appreciate it, they are just limited by lack of trust i what it can do or just scared in general of crashing their precious trophy car. With that said, my statement was intended for those that buys expensive sport cars and think they are the shit. Plenty of vids here to exemplify that btw.

Honda engine is very close to perfect and all you have to do is regular maintenance ( oil, filters) and be vary patient after you start engine , never go with high RPM at cold engine. Once you warm up engine , you can not do nothing to this.
      My exp with two Hondas ( Civic's , for 20 yrs ) , about 500000+ miles ( 800000 km + ) , did not have one single problem . Regular maintenance and , run , run , run ............. The best engines ever made .
      About 10 yrs ago my good friend sad something like that :" Imagine if you will put Honda engine in BMW body , it will run for next 50 yrs without problems " . Very possible . I personaly think that BMW makes the best bodies , and Honda has the best engines .
      But , than what car mechanics will do than . Just change oil, tires , brakes and filters . No more fun with mechanics .
      But if you compare price and what you get for your money , than Honda is a far ahead BMW .

      @@bamphmx-5548 I mean, firstly that's your own opinion regarding the In-line 4 vs. In-line 6. Yes it would be nice to have a RWD car with more power. But my point was that the Type R is a much better track car for value of money. Like I said, the Type R is 30k CHEAPER than the M2, and only has 0.9s difference on the track. All I care about is track times in this case. And the Type R is so much better than the M2 because I don't have to spend as much money for the same/more performance.
      Of course you could spend an extra 20k on the M2 and destroy Ferrari's/Porsche's whatever. But that amounts to TWO Type R's. I ain't rich, the Type R is already out of my budget so this is all "realistic hypothetical"

      @@nlouisf its 70k car. Let that sink in , 70! For 70k it shoud be better but it's only 0.9 sec better for almost double the price, so in the end. CTR is MUCH better car!

      BAMPh MX-5 the thing is it’s not a ricer. Calling a the type r a ricer is something an actual ricer would do.

    If the M2 Comp is comparable to a Honda Civic Type R, then is the BMW 2 series comparable to the Honda Civic Si and Subaru WRX?

    I enjoyed this video,i'll go with the beema because of the driving experience it gives you.Its price tag couldn't sway me or make me settle for anything lesser.I believe in the BMW brand and everything it comes with,including the price tag.

    In the end it was between the fk8, m2 comp, and the RS3. I ended up with the civic. Awesome car.
