I like Alex Goy's reviews. He makes it fun and he genuinely seems to have a good time doing it. Kind of guy you would like to sit down with over a beer and talk enthusiast cars. I also like their locations shown in the videos.
Seat comfort comment was interesting though. Maybe he is thinking relative to most other BMW seating (3 series and up) which is typically top notch? Not sure. I guess if his back hurts, it hurts! That's the evidence... Anyhow, I am not too worried about that as seat comfort is not a priority for me. As long as I don't have terrible back pain when I get out after a 2 hour drive. Didn't in my GT4, so probably won't in the M2. Last edited by csbear; 04-20-2016 at 10:17 AM.. |

I like his reviews. Always reviews the cars for what they are today instead of going on a 2-minute rant of how older cars did this and that better, none of that helps if I wanted to buy the car today.
The best part of the video for me is when he clearly states that while there are other cars (Focus RS, RS3, CLA45), the M2 captures that old BMW package, it's comfortable when you want it to be but sporty when you want to have fun and available with a manual transmission and RWD - something you can't find with any of its competitors. |

If the car is a long termer,one could always look at getting the seats re-upholstered with Nappa if they can't get on with the Dakota... |

Regarding the seats, is the seat bottom positioned outward by design or is it positioned by bolting the actual seat at an angle on the rail?

I like this guy. Something about his delivery is appealing. Seems like a real enthusiast for actual driving, like the best reviewers.
Here's another one I just found. Interesting comments on the M2 vs. M3/M4 debate... |
