2023 BMW M2: Manual or Automatic? I Run BOTH from 0-60 and The Results Are Staggering! 

Do you like the way the old M2 looks more? I'd probably buy the new one, but I like the way the old one looks alot better.

Ironicly this is very true My 03 small truck is only 300 ibs heavier

Yeah I can’t believe he said that……

Maybe not, but BMW now sells a M SUV that is over 6000lbs.

Everything will get heavier and faster

BMW’s have been heavy for a long time now.

Hell yeah!

I do 4.4 in my gr yaris lol

@@bobbybooshay5854 aww how cute 😅. That corolla gr looks pretty good too

It’s on par, weight wise, with a Mustang or Camaro, and similar power to their base V8s. Question is whether you want American or German. And this should handle better.

Dang my e90 M3 weighs less than that

So please point to new cars these days that are in those weight ranges that can actually perform and aren't over $100k. Serious question.

@@aggiewoodie Mustang is significantly cheaper, lol.

@TheMarkcu24 for 100k? A c8 corvette, a mustang with the Performance package, a 1le camaro, nissan Z, lotus evora, the list is endless.

I’m ordering the Toronto red with cognac seats… kind of like the color scheme of a Ferrari… all the ones being ordered are that light blue and Brooklyn grey… all so the black interiors. Im just trying to get something different.

Is the aluminum trim matte or gloss? can’t tell from the pictures.

Our best time was 3.72 seconds with 1 foot rollout.

@@TFLcar 👍

I've heard people getting 3.6 after it's broken in a bit.

all the way to the point the economy collapses and the market for specialty items evaporates

Lol none of them will be as fun as your f87 m2. You made a terrible decision if your choice is about driving pleasure. Stop smoking that ish.

The B58 is awesome (I have an F22 M240) ... but its not the S58. The Supra's chassis also a step down. Its not an M Chassis. Personally, I am not a fan of the looks of the Supra for me to own. It draws too much attention for what I want. But I love seeing other people drive them, if that makes sense. I prefer the M2's look as a vehicle I would want to own as it is a tad more subtle. If you want to throw the car around and have an attention grabbing look, yeah, the Supra would probably be better. If you want to hug corners and go fast on fun curvy roads or tracks with a car that most people wouldn't even recognize as being special based on looks, then the M2 is the clear answer.

The previous chassis was based on the 3 series chassis 😂

@@TheMarkcu24 Is the M240 relaxing to drive in comfort mode? I'm looking for something than can corner carve, while not beating me up on long trips - ready to move on from 370z. My girl has an older E60 - I drive it a few times and it's just RELAXING to be inside.

@@07wrxtr1 mine is a 2018. My girl and I have taken it on 500 mile plus one way road trip (about 8 hours) to the Maine coast in the past with no comfort issues at all. Is it a 5 series? Hell no. But for what it is, a luxury sports coupe that is quick as hell, i'd say it's pretty damn comfy in eco and comfort modes. It's been my daily driver for over 5 years and I love it. I do plan on upgrading to the new M2 though.

gen z and millennial got no money for these cars, not sure what you talking bout lol

Avengers, assemble! 😂

😂 seriously

the Porsche costs double in our country and RS4 driving dynamics is shit.

Lol idk which bmw u drove, the clutch on this and other m cars is extremely light and actually too light. The auto is not a dct anymore in this model it is a regular auto zf 8 speed. N nobody cares if it shifts fast

🤦

1. faster 2. better in daily driving 3. less consumption 4. BMW:s manual isn't that great nowadays, rubbery and long shifts

Those days are over.

yup. or at least just wait until chip shortage catches up. anyone buying used rn is a dummy

@@ToneNYC718 I bought a cpo BMW just as the pandemic started for a steal. No one was buying cars back then and the rental cars flooded the market making the supply really high.

@@aces8481 Garbage used cars that once sold 2k are going for 5k now. Insane.

Honestly it's growing on me, it has a GTA car look in a weird way, the M2 looks way better than the 240i

Cottoncandyrandy. Agreed sadly

Then watch something else

correction... Andre said around *1800 feet in elevation

Its not mate 😂

@@Alex-dz6xw I made myself like it and I love it lol

Says the dude who can’t drive it

@@squidwardshouse67yup 😂

First time hearing that

I have to agree.

Yeah I honestly don’t understand why they let this guy review a performance car

The autos are not lighter manuals are still 50-100lb lighter which is alot, the autos are more efficient and faster now but they ruin alot of the fun, so it aint worth it.

In an automatic the car controls you, in a manual you control the car. If you are and old man with knee pain then go for the automatic. In real life you don't need to worry about a two tenths of a second difference from 0-60. If you have to be stuck in traffic then go for the auto but its way more complex mechanically and it requires maintenance. As an european Ive always driven manuals and when I tested automatic cars it felt weird, it felt like a videogame.

@@PaulTC777 even in traffic manual is fine if u know how to drive in traffic, just keep a big gap and u never have to come to a complete stop or ever touch ur brakes or use the clutch to start from a stop

@@Sideways_Singh Precisely. And an added bonus of playing this "game" of using your brakes as little as possible is that it teaches you to really anticipate the flow of traffic and the manoeuvres and mistakes of other drivers. I've been doing that for years and my friends are often surprised how far in advance I see certain situations coming and react to them before they occur. I've become so good at this game that I hardly brake at all anymore, unless coming to a standstill and even then only all the way at the end to hold the car in place. It really improves your driving skills, way beyond simply braking less and it also improves your gas mileage dramatically Too bad most performance cars aren't available in manual anymore. I recently bought an M340i and for the first time in my life I'm driving an automatic. Even the "lower" models, like the 320i, aren't available in manual anymore. Great car the M340i, but I miss shifting so, so much. For my next car I think I'm going to either switch brands, or try to go for an M-model with a manual available like an M2 or M3, if finances allow it and it still exists in a few years |edit| By the way, you have an awesome nickname
