Personally I still think your m2 was one of the best cars you’ve had in the channel. It looked good, performed amazing, and sounds soo good. Still one of your bests. The Supra on the other hand is just another beast in itself. Absolutely love your content and please keep up the good work.
I personally loved your M2 content. I have an n55 m2 DCT which I’ve had nearly 4 years. Recently gone stage 2 bootmod3 and it’s again like a new and exciting thing. Love it completely.
Drove my first Supra last week and I do not regret my decision to get an M2C vs the Supra when I was car shopping. The handling on the Supra is PHENOMENAL! It’s willingness to change direction is amazing but in terms of being comfy with the chassis response, I am partial to the M2C. I love the stable, heavy (let’s face it, the M2C is a piggly car) feeling behind the wheel of the M2. If the Supra was a 6MT, that would’ve been a much harder choice! I hope to one day finally produce my M2C tier-list review video just so I can convey how amazing of a tuning platform it is! TL;DR - I FUCKING LOVE MY M2!!!!
The M2 was the best car on your channel by far! I hope to be able to get a 2016-2018 M2 within the next couple of years. Hopefully prices keep dropping!
I gotta say the M2 content was what drew me to the channel. Nothing against the Supra but the community is just not as big as the F chassis. Get a M2C 6MT!
After I sold my 981S, I had to get an OG M2 manual in alpine white 😁 I love that thing! I still enjoy my E92 M3 but M2 is perfect daily 👌 I semi regret not getting a comp, but just didn't want to deal with the crank hub and sound.
Exactly.. I'm totally happy with my og m2 and only 420 whp..lol. The comps are nice, but I only need to hear my lawnmower on Saturday mornings..haha.. not everyday.
@@davidwuthrich with a mid pipe and a muffler sounds nice and throaty. Love stock n55 but kinda sounds like a diesel with an exhaust and up top can’t compete. Both different cars
Johnathan, Bro my 21 Porsche 992 C4S finally came, it was delivered yesterday. I sold my Audi RS3 today (bone stock for 8k more than I paid for it new). I have a 21 Porsche 992 C4S and I still miss my RS3 already. I am limited in space to 6-7 cars so, I had to sell her (the RS3). I have 7 currently, two my oldest daughters drive though. Like you myself and many car enthusiasts "we wish we could keep them all" but, unfortunately in most cases we can not. It is good, healthy, fun, enjoyable to move on to new vehicles. Absolutely expected to miss our previous vehicles. I have had dreams where I have a massive warehouse and all of my old most favorite vehicles are parked, as in I still own them, exciting and satisfying dreams. Wake up missing those vehicles we moved on from, lol Excellent video as always man, keep them coming 👍
We just gotta make these videos as viral as possible so you can get that 10 car garage! I'm loving the N55 and you were big reason for me to try the platform.
You and I both know that driving a car at 90% of its performance capability its far more satisfying than driving a much faster car at only 50% of its performance capability. This is why you've grown tired of your Supra and find more enjoyment out of your E36. The same logic applies towards your M2 - it's a very satisfying driving experience!
I know you're not talking to me but I'm torn on that idea. Sure pushing a car can feel good, revving it out, but honestly having a car with enough torque where you don't have to cross 3,500 rpm feels great too, effortless torque power and while you don't drive it anywhere near the limit engine wise it's even more so satisfying when you have buckets of torque down low, best combustion engine impression of an electric motor you can have.
Not sure about the M2, but in a 2-series, you sit crooked (yawed to the left) on the driver’s seat. I initially wondered why the dead pedal felt a bit far and Jason Cammisa confirmed it on Motor Trend.
That's funny you were telling me that I should have got the old m2 because of the motor . I was happy with my m2 comp but you said the motor wasn't good for tuning (not verbatim) but you just said you would have missed a m2 competition more ? We've all got the fatal timing design flaw but whatever . They're all good cars right? Cheers.
M2C is fantastic to modify. That answer sounds very contradictory. The sound for the N55 Vs S55 is a no brainer but that’s where the N55 stops winning.
Like most that commented I loved the M2 and the content. Got to see it in person hear it roar around my neighborhood even took a few pictures of it. I had a m235i and it was quick but it did not handle well. About 7 months ago I sold the m235i. I looked to upgrade to an M4's but the M2 was the perfect size and with a few mods it's up there with the S55. I think if I can find the fuel pumps to upgrade and run e85. Next some seats and suspension work and track the car. As much as the S55 is the next level the sound is hard to digest. I have seen some guys upgrade the exhaust at 4 thousand plus to get a better sound but nothing like N55. The E36 M3 is sweet. Love it keep up the great content. that car has come a long way in a short time.
I just did my 1-year review of my M2 on my channel, such a great car. Having said that, don’t you think your E36 M3 is the spiritual predecessor of the M2?
I drove a 2017 M2 manual after having been driving my 2021 Mach 1 with the tremec manual which gave me a much greater appreciation for the Tremec it felt like a hammer compared to a pencil
Even now, 2 years after you made this vid, clean OG M2s with around 50k and 6 speed manual are going for around $40k. I wouldn't call that "entry level" or "budget" M car as you kept saying. M2 has the better engine tuning wise, but the super beefed up N55 engines on the OG M2s are bullet proof. And they sound better than any of the newer M2s by far.. but yeah if you're looking for a budget M car then you probably need a e9x M3
TW, I was in the market for an A90 and your vids are what led me to do research on the F87. Ended up getting an M2C 6MT and I’m loving it. Definitely what I was looking for!
I bought my Comp because of watching your M2 videos. You also convinced me to get a manual. I love the car but I’m getting prepared to get a Cayman GT4 for some more track work, but I think I’m going to miss the M2 and will probably get one as a daily one day. I hope you get one sooner than later again!
Hey Thic! After i asked for your opinion on either grabbing an M2 or Supra after trading in my model 3 performance, i ended up test driving the supra and the M2 Competition manual. Chose the M2, loved the supra but i need the back seats. Love your videos, still watching the M2 vids for inspiration.
I just bought a ocean blue 21 Lexus IS F sport and I have a F30 328D and man there body and design on the IS is sick however I think the bmw is more responsive with the 8 speed vs the 6 speed and 2.0 turbo diesel vs 3.5 aspirated both are great cars but the Lexus has it beat I think.
In order E92 M3 ( IMO the best M Chassis built from styling, wheel base/size, super rare being the m3 sedan) wish you kept her a little longer, felt like she was short lived M2 ( Kinda gives me E46 vibes just with a upgrade look and I live that.. hands down the best looking F platform, sounds awesome) Supra ( B58 engine, super unique car, amazing body lines and it’s the best of the Euro and tuner/JDM world) F30 ( I have one so of course I’m bias and it’s what’s started it all… The original “ThickWhip”
You would want more power out of the m2 but bought e36m3 lol plus your m2 was fast as 997gt3. Last time I checked power is the last thing you need on track.
I got an OG m2,and i tried an M2 Comp and didnt felt that huge power diff to be honest, but i felt that the m2 Comp was a better daily car that the OG m2.
the roads where you live are probably pretty good lol. when i had my e92 m3, the kw has kit felt better than kw v3s on the street because massachusetts roads are abysmal. my e36 track car had kw v2s, was so harsh on the roads too lol. smooth roads, the v2/v3's are great though
The N55 is great. I love it in my 435i. You can make some solid power out of it but you’re right, S55 you can just do a lot more. Still loved your M2 tho! One of my favorite builds of yours
NEW FACEBOOK GROUP: facebook.com/groups/thicwhips
Love every single one of your builds that have hit TH-cam, but without question your M2 was THE coldest build thus far. I miss seeing that beauty!!!
Personally I still think your m2 was one of the best cars you’ve had in the channel. It looked good, performed amazing, and sounds soo good. Still one of your bests. The Supra on the other hand is just another beast in itself. Absolutely love your content and please keep up the good work.

You’re gonna need to wait a little bit bit they’re pretty high right now. I got mine for $44000 and now it’s worth $51000
Sadly, the market is high for cars right now
With 40K miles, locally the 16-19 M2 are high 40s hitting almost 50s lol insanely high market
I’m with you on this, I made the M2 N55 to the Supra jump and I think the Supra just feels better and faster. But I do miss it!
I gotta say the M2 content was what drew me to the channel. Nothing against the Supra but the community is just not as big as the F chassis. Get a M2C 6MT!

Dude me and James bring the same veloster N energy. They are amazing

Velostar Gang!!! 😂

I have a M235i now and I think it handles great!
So much if my M2 build has come from inspiration by yours. That car was by far one of the best builds I’ve ever seen for the M2 along with M2 Ghost
M2 is a great track car, I need to try that ceramic coat on my wheels. Brake dust is such a pain.
Oh!!...I see you went back to the gold tips on the exhaust definitely think it looks better!! It gives it that extra pop!!!
Really enjoyed the m2 content , went into depth tuning wise,keep up the good work
The M2 built by far the best.
The active sound Starbucks Drive thru scene was so funny. 😂😂😂
Keep it up.
I just did my 1-year review of my M2 on my channel, such a great car. Having said that, don’t you think your E36 M3 is the spiritual predecessor of the M2?
E46 m3 would be more fitting IMO
@@ethansammons9872 hm yeah, I agree actually
The most significant conundrum of my life is whether to sell my M2 or not. That car is pure joy and pleasure.
Great video! I absolutely agree that a B58 powered M2 would have been an absolute dream, and not biased at all just because I have a 340i myself 😂
They did have a 240i but don’t think steering as that good and looks the Supra wins
I drove a 2017 M2 manual after having been driving my 2021 Mach 1 with the tremec manual which gave me a much greater appreciation for the Tremec it felt like a hammer compared to a pencil
Tbh your m2 was probably best build on the channel. That front look on the m2 is 👌
Would you recommend the KW V1 for a daily car? I don't really see myself hitting the track any time soon
I miss your M2 setup video, of all the cars your M2 vids are the most captivating of all. White, compact, stylish....
Even now, 2 years after you made this vid, clean OG M2s with around 50k and 6 speed manual are going for around $40k. I wouldn't call that "entry level" or "budget" M car as you kept saying. M2 has the better engine tuning wise, but the super beefed up N55 engines on the OG M2s are bullet proof. And they sound better than any of the newer M2s by far.. but yeah if you're looking for a budget M car then you probably need a e9x M3
your m2 was hands down your best build. you shouldnt have sold it. it inspired me to get mine .......
Does anyone happen to know that song starting from 3:14? Thanks
Sounds like you need a m240i (with a widebody)😉
TW, I was in the market for an A90 and your vids are what led me to do research on the F87. Ended up getting an M2C 6MT and I’m loving it. Definitely what I was looking for!
Nice!

You will miss the speed for sure. I drove the cayman. It’s fantastic, very well balanced but a slug compared to the m2 comp.
Hey Thic! After i asked for your opinion on either grabbing an M2 or Supra after trading in my model 3 performance, i ended up test driving the supra and the M2 Competition manual. Chose the M2, loved the supra but i need the back seats. Love your videos, still watching the M2 vids for inspiration.
wow what a turnaround on the N55
I just bought a ocean blue 21 Lexus IS F sport and I have a F30 328D and man there body and design on the IS is sick however I think the bmw is more responsive with the 8 speed vs the 6 speed and 2.0 turbo diesel vs 3.5 aspirated both are great cars but the Lexus has it beat I think.
Your m2 actually pretty much inspired me to get mine which is also white. I need to start making videos on it.
M2 is what made me find your channel, and my M235i was built using your M2 as a guide.
That’s awesome
In order
E92 M3 ( IMO the best M Chassis built from styling, wheel base/size, super rare being the m3 sedan) wish you kept her a little longer, felt like she was short lived
M2 ( Kinda gives me E46 vibes just with a upgrade look and I live that.. hands down the best looking F platform, sounds awesome)
Supra ( B58 engine, super unique car, amazing body lines and it’s the best of the Euro and tuner/JDM world)
F30 ( I have one so of course I’m bias and it’s what’s started it all… The original “ThickWhip”
I will own another e9x, that’s a promise 🤝
I like your suspenders you have in your M3.
You would want more power out of the m2 but bought e36m3 lol plus your m2 was fast as 997gt3. Last time I checked power is the last thing you need on track.
I got an OG m2,and i tried an M2 Comp and didnt felt that huge power diff to be honest, but i felt that the m2 Comp was a better daily car that the OG m2.
m2 comp better daily than n55 m2? why is that?
The m2 brought me to this channel, keep it up man
Bro the M2 was fire but the E36 is my favorite thus far, love every video bro
Thank you!
the roads where you live are probably pretty good lol. when i had my e92 m3, the kw has kit felt better than kw v3s on the street because massachusetts roads are abysmal. my e36 track car had kw v2s, was so harsh on the roads too lol.
smooth roads, the v2/v3's are great though
Sell Supra pick up M2 Comp :D
proper respect for the ACR, well played
That thing was sick
i also love the B58
last m2 is the last 2 series on it's own platform. everything after will be built on the 3 series
About how long does that ceramic coat last?
Can last years if maintained properly. Mine typically last a year or so
The N55 is great. I love it in my 435i. You can make some solid power out of it but you’re right, S55 you can just do a lot more. Still loved your M2 tho! One of my favorite builds of yours
Thanks, and I agree!
M2 Comp FTW… Velostar N FTW 😂
DO a LBB M2 build!
Get another m2🙌🙌
I’m thinking about the getting a 240i yeah the m2 looks better but
M2 best car hands down
Its sad, because that was the best build of the 1st spec M2 in the world😔
As a M2C owner I endorse this message.
I miss the E90 tbh
I miss my M2 too 😔
rims are beautiful!
I MISS your M2
Get a m2 competition and track it 😎
I really miss the m2 🥺😔
I think you need another m2
M2C is the best car
TW I need the nocturnal black badge kit for my a91 edition……I’ll zelle you rn you send me one
Sell the Supra for M2 comp ?
Well seeeee
I think you justified the move very well in this video.
Supra over all.
I miss it 👍🏼
We all do 😁
B58 the world 🌎
I love my m2c 😁
