2016 BMW M2 review - is BMW back on form? | Autocar

With a 3.0-litre turbocharged engine, 365bhp and rear-wheel drive, this compact sports car has all the makings of a BMW great, but it would have to be good to beat the likes of Audi's RS3, the Mercedes-AMG A45 and even Porsche's Boxster.

I might as well have watched this video muted, terrible audio.

[maestroadam]

there are no adaptive dampers in this car.

[TheJoeMB]

Apart from the audio issues, this is an a good video.

[RandomVideosFirst]

worse first drive I've seen so far, poor sound quality could hardly hear what you were saying!

[Jinsun]

Matt's best video and some good camera angles. The M2 looks a riot!

[khasmir]

Nice engine sounds but did not understand much of what he was saying.
Crazy car, looks like BMW can still make a great car if they really want to.

[BIG]

i guess we coulda just listened to the engine/exhaust note the whole time on this one...

[ryoc]

The in car audio was horrible. I could barely hear what he was saying. Great car though.

I remember watching this guy in the M4 vs RC F review and thinking he was the worst ever. Although he seems to have improved slightly, the audio in this video was very poor and I feel Autocar are really still quite far behind it's competitors.

[gregoryc]

whats the dub step music, anyone know?

[joeau]

In terms of weight, are you comparimg a dct m2 with manual m3?

[sweatyboab]

Put on your favourite head phones, the commentary is great, but it's just biased towards enjoying the sound of the engine. Great review, thank you autocar!

[adrianchuaq.y.]

You sure there are adaptive dampers on that car?

[BestCarSound]

Everyone cooking about adaptive dampers.. c'mon! And it was nice to hear car as well as what he was saying, and no probs with hearing him! Nice cabin angles too!

[sweatyboab]

Great review sir! You've really lifted you're game. On this video, it sounds fabulous. So much better than my old m235i. Can't wait to see if
you think whether this is a fair dinkum alternative to a Cayman.

[robomeara]

this has got to be one of the most informative and enjoyable car videos i have ever watched. Thank you Matt. And, yes, this car has VDC.

[TekNeez]

This car should not be at that price. It's worth $5-7k less, at most. Did you happen to notice the sideways drivers seat? Yeah, they did a little cheating in the seat to get around passing the side collision tests.

[seinsmeld]

Excellent review, thank you. I ordered a 2023 M2 two days ago. I can't wait for it to arrive.🥶

[behemothinferno]

Lovely car. It's a shame BMW can't make an interior to match the beauty of the car.

P.S. Suggest you massage the sound digitally and post it again. AS
