You do not have to go into any menus, just press and hold the “SET” button on the LH side of the steering wheel, it toggles the speed limit warnings off and on again if you wish.

Joe..You're awesome. Poking fun at yourself for the miss shift in your m2 without everyone knowing the backstory speaks volumes. We've all done it by the way. Heart went out to you on that. You're a class guy and awesome reviewer.

Previous generations you could go to the menu where you turn the setting off and hover over the option you may be able to save it as a shortcut on one of the numbered preset buttons (1-8). I did this with the AC Sync setting to enable fast access to setting all temps to driver temp.

[jayritchie]

A couple commenters have mentioned long pressing the speed warning setting and adding to shortcuts - In addition to this, make sure it’s the first shortcut (top left of shortcut menu). When on the Home Screen, tap the idrive wheel up then press it down. This will open the shortcut menu, and select the first shortcut. You can do this quickly without taking your eyes off the road.

I still don't really understand the hate this car gets for its looks. It looks beautiful to me.

M3 touring …. Tick. New M2 long term…. Tick. M2 track weapon hopefully soon back from the garage …. Tick. No chance you sinned in a former life is there Joe? . What a garage. Keep up the great content.

Call me weird, but I've loved the looks of this M2 since I first saw it. Nice to see another red one instead of all the baby blues! Beautiful 😍

Yes in Australia we pay luxury car tax which was introduced to protect local car manufacturers but we don't have any local manufacturing for years now but they keep the tax. You can pay an extra $50, 000 in tax because of the LCT

I would say Bimmercode could disable that speeding gong feature, or at least have it like the start/stop feature to remember what setting you had it last on and it'll stay like that when you start the car back up again.

Awesome Joe! Really like the look of these on the road. Pictures don’t do it justice.

[nicoscoolvids]

Thanks for a great review, I'm happy you didn't rehash the usual cliches like typical car reviewers. I also came around the look and it has a great presence in person, it has a lot of character. I used to have a M2 comp and I have a G87 M2 now with similar specs as this one (manual, carbon seats, etc) and agree with you most of your points.

Love this car. Wish they did more colours but I think the car itself looks awesome and is one of the most exciting m products for a while. Then again I'd have one in frozen grey in a heartbeat. Great review as always Joe although I enjoyed the launch vid you did in the states too it's just obvs going to be a marmite car weirdly when it's one that more of us could actually afford unlike the mortgage replacing M3!

love the look of this car in this colour. great review.

[kamilianos]

beautiful. I love the new BMW boxy design, reminds of the old M3 E30. I am saving hard for 2014 M235i, can't wait.

[hitek]

This car has grown so much on me, I think it really looks fantastic!
I have test driven two of them and wow it's a really great car

[arymonem]

You nailed it when you said this car is epic. It’s truly an amazing car.

[smokeybenj]

Lovely looking car and probably amazing fun to drive with that manual box, but £74k for an M2?! No way man. We all keep saying, that's just the price nowadays, and Joe said it too, "there's no getting away from there is, just stop buying them at this ridiculously inflated price, and be patient, manufacturers will reassess and the market will settle again, eventually.

[simonbradshaw]

Problem with the new speed limit warning system required by the EU is that the information in the sat nav of speed limits isn't always correct which will be extremely annoying

[the_jnlt_channel]

Love the look of the M2 but I am not a fan of the red colour on this car, I think the black colour makes this car look most aggressive 👍
