@doggodproductions2259 Год назад

The difference in character between the engines probably has alot to do with the S58 having a lower static compression ratio and more boost, where the S55 has a higher ratio and a little less boost. Obviously tuning will change that as well. But it's weird that they both make the same torque figure. They're very similar engines on paper, but one wants you to rev it to the sky (S55) and one just wants you to mash the throttle and shift fast (S58).

I think the looks would be significantly improved if there was a body coloured piece at the bottom of the lower grille, between the two boxes. Kind of how the Camaro sucked when they removed the body colour connector at the front and put it back in due to the backlash from the public.

@SadistischerBrokkoli Год назад

I have a 2020 M2 comp and had a chance to sit in the new M2 recently. The Outside is fine in person, not the best, not the worst. What bugs me most is that it got so much larger on the outside, while at the same time shrinking on the inside. And while it wont make a difference to most people, the weight is just absurd... an M2 thats heavier than a Mustang and a Camaro...

That looks like it was designed by someone who was vaguely aware that BMWs are supposed to have a double grille but had never actually seen a BMW. The grilles on the M3/M4 are obnoxiously large, but at least the cars look like BMWs.

@ktakashismith Год назад

The M2 has always been an absolute chunker. I remember looking into getting a 135i before I bought my 328 wagon, and I was appalled to find out that the 2-door coupe was heavier than the estate. Literally wtf BMW.

@michaelpinnow5015 8 месяцев назад

I just bought this car with a manual and absolutely love it. Somehow they hide the weight with fantastic balance and power. Love the manual too. I have read it is not crisp and is rubbery but it compares well to the Mustang GT350 I owned. The GT350 had a heavier more direct shift though. The M2 with rev match makes it about impossible to miss a shift. This car is a rocket. It is comfortable, great stereo and screens are easy to learn and intuitive. What an amazing car for the $$. Extremely happy I found one without a huge dealer mark up.

The styling concepts that BMW started to incorporate in the last five years have really made Chris Bangle look like a genius. For all the crap that his designs received (Bangle Butt, Flame Surfacing), these concepts have aged well, and have been copied by many manufacturers. To this day, several sedans by other manufacturers still incorporate the Bangle Butt concepts in the rear design of their cars. But I think that the last five years of BMW design will not age well, and in the future will be known as BMW’s ‘lost design phase’. Kind of like GM’s boxy designs from the 1980s, which looked awkward then, and just look awkward and aged now.
