5 reasons why the G87 M2 is BETTER than the F87 M2!

Hey everyone, welcome back to Daily Downshift. We thought it would be useful to list 5 reasons why the new BMW M2 is better than the previous generation M2, the F87. There's many different things that we could have talked about, but we highlighted the ones that made the biggest impact on the overall driving experience. Enjoy the video!

of course the technology will be better on the G87 but most M drivers don't care about that. F87 CS probably one of the best M cars of this generation.

Love the content. Still currently loving my 2018 m2 lci. BMW is notorious for having weak plastic piping in majority of all of there cars esp the charge pipe. Luckily it’s an easy cheap fix and you’re done. I’d have to say the og m2 with full bolts ons and adding the steering tuning and cf strut from the m2c and adding m performance suspension really makes this the perfect balanced track car with sound to match. People forget these aren’t drag cars they are corner and mountain carvers. I mean sure you make any car a qtr mile hero but that’s not how these m2 series should be driven.

Well done on the video buddy! Enjoyed every bit of it

The whole F87 vs G87 thing is so sad from both sides. Isn’t it great/fun that we’re all people that appreciate M2s?

(Comment is more general than this video. Watching now and I’m sure it’s valuable for people who are thinking of which one to get. But man just in general it feels so combative and toxic)

Blind Spot Assist is not part of the Premium Package, and it is not necessary in a car with such good all-around visibility (kudos to BMW for not messing with that).

I think TAC one step master will slightly darken this red and add another dimension. Really easy to apply makes my F87 long beach blue look thst little bit different!

How about the road noise in the new G87? Right now I have f22 m240 manual (I cancelled my M2 order for this car), its a fun car but man seats are not comfortable and road noise is a lot!

6:22 hmm wonder where those tire marks came from

Can you check if it has a lightweight lithium battery like the F80 M3?

600 mile seat time and this thing(G87) is fast. Way faster than my e92 m3

ordered one in black, cant wait this is definitely an evolution. the M2C wasn't worth the upgrade from the OG for me but this is. What i will say is lets all stop stop shitting on previous generations or this one, they all are and will always be special cars for different reasons

idk how i feel about the new m2 anymore someone ik just got one 3 weeks ago and at 400 miles the engine blew and cylinder 4 wasnt holding compression anymore and now he has to wait 6 months for the engine to get rebuilt by bmw and all they had to say was damn he paid 3k over sticker

I can help with the HKs.. they are good, but NOT GREAT. I upgrade every single HK car I have ever owned, and think everyone should.

Good video, agree w/ all your points -
My BSM G87 with the carbon pack was supposed to get delivered in July, just got delayed to September :(
Selling my M2C this week, gonna be a sad summer haha but can't wait.

I have a feeling that this will be the most controversial video on this channel so far...

The only way you're gonna have luck tracking the G87 is shedding A LOT of it's weight. The whole F87 vs G87 argument is getting old fast. Both have pros and cons and luckily anyone wanting an F87 can easily find a 2021 used. Anyone wanting to only chase that clout of driving a G87 can find one at a dealership as well easily. Have you watched your canadian buddie's Savagegeese review on Youtube of the F87 vs Supra vs G87 M2? Their newest episode. Watch it.

Yeah sure….. if I could only get past its looks. You’re assuming all the attention is for the right reasons!

[vicgarrison]

as a current f87 owner…id buy a manual supra or 240 over the g87…Just doesnt do it for me

Better... but a front face only a mother could love.
