My 1 Year Ownership Review - 2023 BMW M2 G87

Hey everyone, welcome back to another video! It's been a little over one full year now with my beloved 2023 BMW M2. I thought it would be interesting to make a video discussing what I like and dislike about the platform. It's overwhelmingly positive in general, but there are a couple annoying things I wish didn't exist. Enjoy the video!

For me it’s not the mpg, its more the small size of the fuel tank. A little bigger fuel tank would have been better so I’m not going to the pump so regularly.

I buy my G87 M2 in may and I have a month with 1300 miles and what can I said I love this car by do way I have it in red too

[sakthishrajendran]

Bro You have to make a comparison video between c8 and bmw. Rate them based on fun factor, performance, value for money etc

[weduhpeople]

If you want the best short throw shifter get the CAE shifter made in Germany. It has a taller shift shaft and reverse lock out. The shift gates are adjustable. The way it’s made it makes it hard to money shift.

Couldn’t agree more. This car is an amazing daily driver, but the break dust on my black wheels, 2 days after washing it is ridiculous! Like you said, power and handling is absolutely perfect.

[JRx]

Thanks and appreciate the honest feedback!

[konstantinoalexander]

Yup that gloss black piece is swirled if you look at it the wrong way. Honestly, love detailing, always been into it and wash my cars very carefully and I feel like the paint on new BMW’s, including my m340i swirls for NOTHING.

And the small fuel tank is quite annoying. Did the BMW PD in SC and drove back to Miami and filled up 4 times lol.

How does this car compare to the M2 comp as far as handling, stiffness and cornering speed? This one out performs by a decent margin or about the same?

[eviltriangle]

What about the weight? I drive the M2C f87 on track, and even that car is heavy.
Now they added much more weight, - so honest opinion on that?

[georgechisholm]

Never show when you are speeding on pubic roads ! The Police can use it against you. Only speed on the track…

[aashraf]

Rogue engineering short shifter with a 500g shift knob. I love it on the m2.

[waseemahmed]

I've got the same car.
Awesome vid awesome colour.
I've been copying your mods

[kend]

I have a ‘22 M340 and I beat on it and average 20 MPG, was thinking about getting an M2 and wanted to know what you average on one tank? Thanks!

[Slickpete]

*is this M2 more fun to drive in terms of handling/road feel then your C8 Corvette* ?

[bloodoutthericks]

HEY WHATS GOING ON GUYS NKUUCHHH HEREE

[jimdrivas]

I call my 2024 M2 a hybrid….it burns gas and rubber. No one buys an M car for its gas mileage. I especially agree with you on the brake dust. I can drive the car around the block after cleaning the wheels and the wheels are covered in brake dust. It seems to be a problem on all new cars. Manufacturers install soft pads so they don’t squeal when braking. Unfortunately they leave the wheels covered in dust. I’ve tried everything to easily clean the wheels and dust to no avail. My air compressor can run at 200 psi so I even tried hitting the wheels with high pressure after waxing the wheels inside and out…didn’t work. The dust is like a magnet and refuses to get blown away.

YALL VETTE BOYZ MADD😆😄😄😄😄 better try and get a zr1 ALLOCATION

[destinygamer]

Hey nkuch I’ve been watching since destiny 1 year 2 and is this anyway you’d run one game of crucible with me? It’s been a dream since I was 11 I’m not 20 almost 21

[chrisginoc]

The person who invents a spray or liquid that repels brake dust will become filthy rich. The struggle is real

[johnp]

Another con, that doesn’t apply to you because yours is manual, is there is no protection for the radiator on the autos. When you were showing your beat up front plastic I noticed it. But there are plenty of YouTube videos that show you how to put in a protector, so I guess it’s not that big of a deal, but something you definitely need to do with an auto.
