Really like the ghost car for comparison bit.

Bring Tiff back. Fifth gear was good because of him

Not really a fair comparison when the Cayman is optioned with the ceramic brakes. Either ditch the ceramics on the Cayman, or bring in the M2 Competition to level the playing field.

First time I don't enjoy a fifth gear video! Where's Tiff???

People always chatting about the M cars being sports cars, and they are fantastic; however, what you see here is the difference between a regular car turned into a sporty car versus a car that was built from the ground up to be a sports car.

I used to drive bmw cars including the M3, switched brands and changed to Porsche about 8 years ago and although BMW are very nice reliable well priced (relatively speaking) cars, they just can not beat a Porsche. The build quality on Porsche is better and the handling/precision is on another planet compared to BMW. In the end, BMW builds day to day 2 and 4 door saloon cars that they tune to become a sporty car, the Porsche is build as a sportscar right from the get go. They are a different type of car. If you like a sporty 2 or 4 door car that also has space for a few kids, luggage etc, buy the Beemer, if you want a sports car, buy the Porsche.

I would rather save a bit longer and get the Porsche. BMW and Porsche are just different 👍

Owning a boxster s, the turbo motors sound fine. The rumble and grumble has a nice growl to it.

If only I knew which had the better boot? I miss Tiff.

[preve]

Tiff is a better driver and more entertaining IMHO

Drove 718 GTS at porsche experience center. Instructor and I drove our cars so fast tires were completely sticky with rocks holding onto tire. Car is stable and confidence inspiring. No mid-engine oversteer issues.

Wow! That's a big difference in time over a lap, I would have thought a 6 cyl M2 would be much more competitive over a 4 cyl Cayman, just imagine what a 4.0 GTS Cayman would have done to this BMW.

[kojotot]

The M2 is already a performance bargain. Imagine how cheap will they be in 3-4 years.

[NDakovic]

Not fair comparing ceramics vs steal brakes...

[freebie]

miss Tiff already, loved the chemistry between Tiff and Plato, 🙁

[andrewbrown]

If you’re on a budget, the M2 is a good choice, especially as they depreciate like nothing else. The Cayman will hold most of its value long term👍🏼

Good video. The intangibles on Porsche vs BMW matters more than the times. The BMW, while a great car is not going to beat an actual sports car with similar specs. M2 is not a sports car, end of. I bought one, but not for that purpose. For what it is, the M2 is a tremendous car.

[Dankboi]

When the Porsche optional brakes cost more than your car

[AutoAddict]

Unfair comparison 👎

M2 = Cayman S

M2 Comp = Cayman GTS

Executives kicking the legend Tiff Needell himself off the show. We will do everything we can to end this just you wait
