Here's How much It Costs Me To Run My BMW M2... 

What videos would you like to see next on the M2?

I think it’s expensive to run any car nowadays. Not just an M2.

Superb video once again, glad your still loving it, I'm stuck over in Ireland working so not driven mine since September 2020,looking to get back to the UK next month and can't wait to get my hands on my mighty m2, thanks for the content buddy keep pushing the videos out, I just love em.

Great video mate. I new I couldn’t afford one, but seeing these figures really is a reality check. I’ll soldier on with my diesel 👍🏻

Glad to see you back. Hopefully you can make more vids

I've been planning on getting an M2 for my 40th in 4 years. Better get saving 🤑🤑 very informative video, cheers.

Good vid mate, nice to see you again lol, will be helpful to anyone thinking of buying one. Be good to see some dragy times as I’d be interested to see 0-60, 20-70 mate.

Finally your back aha I’ve been here Since the first m140 ❤️

At the end of the day, money is for spending, but you make a fantastic point in this video that these cars actually cost more than just the cars finance monthly payments. If your a young person, your living at home and all your income is for you to spend, I would say go for it and enjoy this time while you can. However, for those young people who crunch the numbers, and realise that £22k spent on owning & driving an M2 for two years is actually the equivalent of a fantastic house deposit, just have a think about where you want to be financially in the next few years, because you don’t want to be that person having a great time and then not having such a great time when all your mates are getting on the housing ladder and you have spent all your money on new tyres and petrol lol, unless of course that makes you happy, do what makes you happy, I did and I have more memories than allot of my friends who never splashed out on anything.

Good video and nice to see you back mate. As a 140 owner an m2 or m2 comp is deffo the next option for me. Deffo the best upgrade to go for.

Good video mate! 👊🏾

Great video! An M2 could be my next step from my M140. Either that or a Cayman I reckon.

Nice video👌 Keep it up!

Good points, well made!

He's back!!

That excitement you mention is what a lot of people get screwed over by when talking about r35 gtr’s … they seem so affordable to alot of people but then the maintenance costs come up and it’s a reality shock… I’ve nearly paid off my 140 fully now and tempted to go to an og M2 like yours… Just don’t know if it’s worth it and practical enough.

Best car in class without a doubt!

Saving up now for an M2 comp hopefully gonna be able to in a couple years. But will not pull the plug unless im 100% confident my salary can manage it. Gonna get 10k for mt 225d, gonna have 15k savings and gonna HP/low rate loan the rest so should work out between 2/300 a month for 5 years, but no balloon at the end. With working from home I probably only drive, about 3k miles a year so thinking on my 30k salary I should still be able to afford it. The gf pays for our fuel as she doesn't do any driving.

How is the driving experience/fun compared to your FK8? I know the FK8 is supposed to be incredibly involving so it would be cool to know how they compare. Glad to see another video! Keep it up

I have a Seat Ibiza FR and was thinking to part exchanging it for an M2/3/4. After hearing this breakdown, I feel like I'd be better off keeping my seat and looking for a cheaper M car

Figures are pretty much spot on with mine mate, I’ve got extended warranty and the RTTI sub on top as well though🤦‍♂️ It’s got to be done to get the best out of these if you’re dailying them or it’s your only car. Cost wise, It’s no different to running 2 decent cars.

Definitely a bit more than I thought. Would have been useful if you put a tally at the end compared to M140i costs. That would give it some perspective.

1200 GBP per year is a steal, in sweden a m2 costs about 2500-3600 GBP to insure a m2

When you put it all out like that.... I better sell my m2 😂😂 Cheers for making me realise I have poor financial decisions - worth it tho!

I run a R26 and a B5 RS4 ! M2 running costs are very good in comparison. Next car for me once I sell both my other cars.

Not sure if you mentioned it, what about the cost difference Vs m140i ignoring your monthly car payments?

Saying things are more frequent isn't true, the main dealer service intervals are every 2 years rather than 1 with most other cars. (Mileage dependent of course)

M2 manual 2017 tax £490, insurance £730, brakes need changing the same time as the rotors and they are £2700 alone which no one ever mentions, monthly payment £520 for 5 years then you own the car, 648 pound for a major service

You happy with the M2 or do you ever wish you got the M2c?

😍

good video

Nice vid I’m must just have heavy foot :( 140 I stock I’m getting 110 miles a tank of lucky lol

In Ireland that car would cost €1400 a month and €1200 a year for tax and about €100 a week for petrol

Not too bad! Everyone has different perspectives but if you are financing a luxury car you can’t afford it in general. You should be able to buy the car in cash with no financing and it shouldn’t really have an impact on you.

I’ve owned m135, m140, and an m2, now driving a Vauxhall insignia. Money pits they are. I’m on 60K a year, I’m happy driving my insignia now. Albeit not as fun, not as showy. I’m done with the show thing now. Good luck kids impressing people around your town 🤣👍 costing you 11k a year 😬 put your money into property! And buy one cash 👍😎

Services depending on we're you go

Did this have the m performance exhaust or just standard?

how do you flip your car without losing much on a p/x?

how do i get the m2 for a 24 hr test drive? i've heard people have been turned down for it for no reason.

Depends how often you drive it really 🤔

The fast small blue car with a viagraa number plate on 👍 keep it up

Started at winnington Village

i think you need to invest in a mic mate

I from Uganda. Cannot afford food or car. I named tribe Hippo M2. We ride M2 to cross river. Tribal wife much happy.

Cost’sssssssssssssss

No, don't go and drive one! Or you'll do what I have just done and sign the paperwork and it's sitting outside my flat ready to go! I fackin love it! And someone of 62 should know better!

It's very expensive to run an M2 but worth the money ...😁😀

Imagine putting that amount money into Tesla shares in 2018. You can buy the car outright or put bigger deposit down. Food for thought….get investing people can change your life in less then 5 years
