Don't Buy The New BMW G87 M2 - Here's Why

My goal is always to be subjective about every car I own or review. I posted a video on reason to buy the new BMW G87 M2 and it's only right to talk about some negatives. The truth is, no car is perfect for everyone so I made it my focal point to talk about the good and the bad

Everything I love About The BMW G87 M2, And Why You Should Buy One

I Didn't Expect The G87 BMW M2 To Perform Like This...

Chiming in here to address the various comments questioning why I purchased the car if I "hate" it so much. I dont hate the new M2, in fact I like it a lot. Like most of the cars I own or review, I try to be subjective by highlighting the positives, as well as the negatives. As a pontential buyer or viewer, wouldn't you like to hear thoughts from both sides? Go watch the other video and you'll see everything I love about it. That said, I can't wait to start modding the M2.

Ok I wont buy. (couldn't even if I wanted to)

[lcameeno]

Thanks bro, i was close to buying this. Ill just stick to my 1993 honda civic

I ordered mine in Sapphire Black Metallic and like everything about the design. It has a very GT2 Racing Car Look that gives a great platform for future customizing. I buy cars for their potential, and this G87 M2 has loads of that. ///M Power

I’m constantly blown away at how often people don’t account for inflation when they compare old cars to new ones. The 2016 was $4k MORE than the G87 in today’s dollars. It’s not a hard concept.

I didn't realize this, but I thought that I was subscribed to you for the past several months, but I wasn't. I've watched your channel off and on for a couple of years, but I just started religiously watching the last few weeks. You honestly have one of the best YouTube channels out there. You have great commentary, an expansive knowledge base, and excellent taste in cars.

Im ok with my Focus ST, i dont make alot of money so its a good budget fun car and i bought a basically new motor with 20k miles on it for $800, so im gonna stick to that, maybe get 500whp one day

Turbo lag isn't an issue with the ZF8 Speed.

[TylersJourney]

This dude is punching it in 4th gear doing 55 saying there’s turbo lag when he punches it LMAO

I put an order for one of these and chose the carbon roof and interior trim . It's the two main carbon options that really mattered to me. I was glad that I could choose those options without paying 9k.

[azzanal-sinani]

I think it's a Unique design and it has the potential to be better such as the rear Diffuser and said fenders grille and maybe lower the suspension

[kungfuhustle]

Just like the e60 when it launched as a ugly duckling people will get used to it. Personally I think the car is stunning and refreshing to not see another generic car. Like it or hate it simple as

I started watching your channel to gain knowledge and help advise my son on his 335i project. It would be interesting to know what percentage of your viewers can even afford any type of new car, let alone an M2.

[Itsgiuliogiberti]

Then Why TF you bought a new M2? BMW simply change the design….like the first bmw 1 series M…

[Beemerboii]

I completely agree. I don't understand how quick everyone started loving this car after all the initial hate. People are so quick to bandwagon instead of being objective. This car looks like ass but has everything we want on paper. Full body kit then the car is one of the best. It's just sad we have to compromise with bmw now. They are no longer on top.

[tgshark]

Good shit...been waiting for a negatives review....that lag is ridiculous

[bimmertimc]

Many of your complaints I don’t get/understand why they are any issue. The new idrive8 is superb and only a matter of getting used it it. Just because you likely came from idrive7 and are used to Id7 it will be a “learning curve” to get used to id8… we have two i4 m50’s and about to purchase the m2… but imo, don’t like the rear tail lights and front grille is sort of questionable. But the car drives nicer than the previous m2 imo. But I’ve not been on the track yet with the new m2.

The carbon package seems great. And the use for this car would be primarily track use. We just did the 2day m school and going back soon for advanced, and gt4 lessons. This m2 is sort of affordable in comparison to some other new cars that are comparable.

Waiting for my Emira, and still procrastinating whether to sell my F87 or keep it.
But whatever happens to the F87 it will be the last BMW that I bought new.

[sandyvalentin]

And your absolutely right if you buy this car get it in black and what people need to realize is that, this car would be horrible for the winter time even if you put snow tires on it . Why.. I can’t imagine the snow and ice that will be built up in the front grill it would be a nightmare .

Thanks for the video. I just bought an M2 a few days ago. Black sapphire with manual transmission. The big empty space in the front is a big air intake, probably doesn't look that great but does serve a purpose. I'm still figuring out all the technology, but I believe you can preset car performance and store it into the M1 and M2 buttons on the steering wheel, so you just push that when you restart the car that has gone back to original defaults, and then you don't have to do them one by one on the screen. I haven't done this yet, so not sure the extent of what it stores.
