Winter daily driver: BMW M2 Competition. Owner's review, tips & tricks! 

If you don't go into deep snow, you won't have any issues

I've had continentals as well and they all work pretty well. Just go for any premium brand and you'll be fine

This was a long time ago, but I think it was because these were much cheaper than the standard sizes

F80 or G80? F80 is old... a limo on track. M2C is the real track star. On the M4 you get more top end performance, more space inside, an HUD, dated gloss carbon with leather dashboard, seatbelt giver and 2 extra old gauges. But still doesn't make it the best choice! G80 is fatter and uglier...

The fact that I have bought an M2 Competition should give you the answer. For me the M2c is the best new old school BMW. If that makes any sense.

Hi there. The steering is different because of two reasons (and these are not facts, it's just an opinion based on my experience) 1. You went down to 18". Much lighter wheels 2. Less wide wheels than before. Both of these things make the steering feel much lighter and, of course, you won't feel as much of a difference when you switch driving modes. I've felt the same when I switched to the lighter JR wheels. So yeah, I agree with the shop. It's all normal.

@@TunedIntoCars Many thanks for that. Separately, what's your next sports car?

Here's my initial review of the Competition: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XDq4Bi6nKpA.html In that video I'm also going through what's different about the Competition. However I haven't exactly switched to the Competition. I sold the LCi and then waited 18 months until I got the Competition. I think the sound is the only area where the M2C suffers in comparison with the OG. Other than that, I personally prefer the Competition. I like the power delivery of the engine, the m-driving modes are fantastic, traction control is really good and those seats are awesome. BUT, and I can't stress this enough, don't take car buying advice from people on the internet. Sure you can listen to what people have to say but at the end of the day you have to drive the car and form your own opinion

@@TunedIntoCars Really thank you for your attention !!! I will try the M2C but is hard to get it, however the M2 is my 2nd car just to have some fun on time to time. You do great job. Keep doing !!!

That's not true. 245 front and 265 at the back. That's the official numbers. 255 is standard on the M3 and M4.

@@TunedIntoCars but are you on stock suspension? i am really surprised it is running, i read everywhere that 255 is OK

I've read the exact opposite. And unfortunately I've read it after buying the tires :) Another thing to consider is that winter tires are wider that the equivalent summer tires. Also, 255 star rate Micheline are narrower than the regular Michelins. So a bunch of factors to consider

@@TunedIntoCars BMW is telling me that the winter tires for M2C are 235/40/18 inch on 641 wheels on all 4 corners, Michelin PA4, they offer me discount 1900 euros for them including mounting and storage of summer ones. I think that s good. 235 is thin but they should grip more. I just hope they will look good.

Test drive them, in terms of character they're quite different! Similar body, cabin and acceleration times hide the pulling power and superiority of the S55. The N55 is more nimble. In Europe, the exhaust sound is the only downside.

Here's what I thought about the M2 Competition, before buying it. I also compare it to my old LCi in the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XDq4Bi6nKpA.html Ultimately it comes down to what you like. So drive them both and decide

If your going to upgrade, then make it worthwhile and jump to the cs

Buy a CS if money is not an issue and if you plan on keeping it long term. Otherwise you're paying too much for what essentially is a Competition with different suspension, a tune and some carbon bits

what about it? the car has a 12 year warranty agains corrosion ...
