Should we do a film in the M2 on track? Should we have a Stage 2 done on it? What would you do?

This car is awesome, it sounds so amazing. I have the stage 4 dinan tune on the LCI, with the CS wheels, it flies, every time I drive after a hiatus I am smiling ear to ear at what this machine feels like

One you forgot to mention is that the N55 version is also lighter by almost 150 lbs on the front,

[DjNikGnashers]

Picked up one of these a few weeks ago, a late 2016, 1 owner from new, 25, 900 miles. It has the DCT, and in long beach blue.
Absolutely love it, and coming from a very fast tuned M140i, which was a missle in a straight line, but keeping it in a straight line was the difficult part, the M2 is on another level for handling, cornering, steering etc.
You say 'it keeps you on your toes and makes it exciting to drive', I say compared to a 455bhp/634nm M140i, it's safe as houses !!
The M140i was absolutely mental in a dangerous way.

I don’t usually comment on videos but wanted to give you your kudos as this is a fantastic one! Especially the bit about not needing the competition and that the n55 is more than enough and capable. We always get hellbent on wanting that little bit more when we actually don’t need it! I’ve been a long term customer of Litchfield, I’ll say hi if we cross paths one day. Keep it up!

As a Black M2 DCT LCI owner. I approve of this message. 😁

[russelbarns]

Great review, in fact I struggled to find a bad review...so I bought one, I've had it for 3 days and already I know its the best car I've owned and I"ll hang onto it for sure 👍👍

[suhaylmotorwala]

Great video on a realistic attainable car. Would love to see more videos on the M2

[ovnilab]

*Nice review! I have the same car/year/color. I also have the DINAN exhaust package on it and it sounds incredible! Makes it sound even lower in tone and more like a pure exotic race car. I always say it "sounds like Laguna effin' Seca" with the DINAN. The love I have for this car is never ending! I get at least one compliment on her 97% of the time I take her out.*

[jakemee]

the M2 competition is honestly a different car, I wouldn't say plain "better", better on paper maybe (+40 HP, but 500lbs more) but the OG M2 with that factory built N55, after a stage2 tune... man that F87 chassis with 500 lbs less weight on it and 400+ HP is insane. I have an '18 love it, have driven the S55 variant and don't think it's worth the extra $10k if you are planning on only using this on the street. If you go the track however I think the M2 comp. is definitely worth it

[Sabretooth-Biggavel]

I got a stage 4 dinan tune LCI makes 450 hp! With the 763M wheels and m performance coilovers and exhaust!

Its heaven!

[houseofporsche]

Great video. Got the same OG LCI with M Exhaust. Where did you get the replica wheels?

[karolmaciejewski]

Love its wild and raw nature and OG sounds so good, with tune and intercooler it's faster than stock comp around the track and on the straight with a lot cash left in the pocket. Put coilovers on and this car is a weapon on the track... Hard to find more fun car that u can use everyday. I drove OG and Comp a lot and unless u don't want to go over 500hp I will always take og.

LCI is the numero uno in manual 👊🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

[zeventsuk]

Excellent work sir. I'm from Bristol too and planning on purchasing an OG M2 this summer. Interested in seeing more footage

[tobyb]

Great video but the autoblip can be turned off in the manual, just turn traction control completely off.

[Dokepredator]

So good looking with those golden wheels. Need those too for mine 😅 What wheels are those if you say they are not original cs wheels?

[stevejohnny]

My new to me M2 is so fun. What drive mode do you use most of the time? I find myself in comfort when pootling, sport when driving faster. Scared of sport+

[randygreer]

What front spoiler are you running? I just bought a 2017 M2 and it came with m performance rear spoiler, side skirts (exactly like yours) and m performance exhaust. The only thing the car needs is a front diffuser. Any help would be greatly appreciate! (I got the car for 32k and it’s a 1 owner, clean carfax with the original window sticker and…..8, 409 miles..🔥🔥🔥)

Nice video! Take some chassis modifications to, and you have the grip of a Porsche cayman GT4! than you a have lot of grip in combination with stage 1. You can also Pure Turbo upgrade it and have the power of a S58 with 500+bhp. My OG M2 is running with wagner evo1 intercooler, HJS sportcat, Mperformance exhaust, pipercross airfilter, Alu charge&boost pipe, Öhlins R/T, eibach swaybars, solid unniballs, diff lift kit, goodridge steel brakelines, castrol rsf race brake fluid, software is stock, with 390bhp and 530nm thanks to the hardware. Stage2 is 420bhp and 600nm. With upgraded hpfp it have 480bhp and 700nm. Stock hpfp is maxed out at 420/430 bhp. some People say that with a stage1 you reach 450bhp butt that is not possible.

[peterwood]

Stage one is crap. Turbo inlet (MST V2 or a pure turbo's), sports cat, upgraded intercooler. Stage two so much better. I'm on MHD.
