BMW M2
Specifications
A six speed and one powerful letter.
Be the bully. The BMW M2. The only one of the 2-Series branch that doesn’t fall under the Gran Divorce category. Short ass with ducktail, wide hips, all the power on the rear wheels provided by the iconic six-in-line. This time with two boosters, which makes the Bavarian horses kick extra hard. Sideways, that is.
Fortunately, after a rather “steep learning curve” for BMW-M with the SMG gearboxes, the M2 featured the updated M DCT. The first in which we don’t miss the manual gearbox! That in combination with the DSC system. A system that, as long as you don’t make the steering angle too great, guides you into making sideways excursions. Something that will make any father of a house look like Ken Block. If you dare.
The very lofty claim of ‘best driving BMW ever made’ is simply true. Yes, this drives even better than the 1M or E30 M3. Something we don’t see anymore in a time with Greta, Dyson three cylinders, resonance speakers for experience and other fakes. Everything used to be better, except with BMW. There you drive a thoroughbred, but with Apple CarPlay and your GoPro app on the display, so you capture those sub-8 minutes on the track.
Ours? Yeah. Extra nice. Equipped with almost all the options. The important options (large multimedia screen, Apple Carplay and M-performance brakes) are just there. It has been fully BMW dealer maintained and has another year of BMW warranty (!). Rationally, no more ‘yes-but’ with the wife, saves a lot of discussion and perhaps a short couch nap.
Do we see you soon?
