M8 says hi to its lil bro. Lol.

Might be one of the best values on the market if you can get it at MSRP.

Front end looks like a cat ate a harmonica

Have a 21 M2 CS, Im sure this one is even better.

I’m sure this is an extremely fun car to drive. Being as you have a CS I’m sure your is on par with this 23 or even out performs it. Have you taken it to a track yet?

Nah, have a dedicated race car for the track.

One of the ugliest cars in recent times. BMW is going in the wrong direction.

def prefer my m8 front end to that but the way companies copy each other now, you gotta be ugly to standout...lol

Can't say I love the front end of this M2, but I can live with the rest. The M2 has always been one of the only newer BMWs that has enticed me. I just like the power in a smaller RWD platform with the manual. Maybe a splitter and a few other minor touch-ups could fix that front end.

 

[specracer]

I agree, our M8 and "old" M2cs, much prefer the front look over this new M2, but I also have not put any effort to see one in person. Im suspect that it looks better in person. Hey look on the bright side, does not have a grill like the G8x M3/4.......

 

[CobraBob]

Great bang/features for the buck. This one, in Brooklyn Grey Metallic looks really nice IMO. I could easily live with the front end design. To each his own, as always. MSRP came out to $65,150. The rear seat is for small children or miscellaneous packages, of course.

I saw one yesterday, not much better in person, and 200 extra pounds. No thanks over a previous M2cs

I like them, M2s are my favorite BMW since the E-90s M3. M1s are right there too. Larry Chen has an episode showcasing an M1 with an E-92 V8 swap. Killer.

I cannot believe these cars weigh more than the new mustangs. It grew in size too compared to the F87. I like my M2 more, I wish I had the S58 motor in the M2 instead of the S55 for sure tho!!!!

Haven’t watched the vid so I didn’t know that. Crazy this is almost a 4K car!!! I remember thinking terminators were heavy at 36xx lbs back in the day


Hard not to look at a 34xx Supra knowing this is 400lbs heavier

True story. Look at the LGBQTMBDWSTGSHJT++!!@@## crowd...

 

[colin450]

I think it looks fine and probably better in person.

Where do you find 34k Supra's? Used ones are in the 50's. I would rather have a Supra then the M2.

He is talking about weight not dollars.
