In traffic, track partially damp. Looks like the rumoured potential 7:52 may be realistic.

Brilliant.

great lap, thanks for sharing.

Great lap, quick comfortable pace and got held up a couple of times (yellow noble and a 5 series for certain )...

Nice

The driver was definitely held up on a few occasions.With a bone dry track and no traffic 07:50 ? ...assuming the time is right in the first place.

Just a reminder that BTG is not a full lap. Good time none the less.

07:52 is the M4 lap time. M2 has a 07:58 laptime.

And the M2 variant is rumored to have lapped 8 seconds faster than the M4.

Got a little squirrelly at 4:13

RIP tires...

Great driving, awesome run.

7:52 realistic for the M2? I should hope so

I have no doubts the M2 could lap it at as fast as (or pretty damn close to) the E92 M3 GTS - 7:48

The 7:52 by the M4 is a time that was achieved by a journalist in the Sport Auto Supertest. The 7:58 from the M2 is an official BMW lap time. Sport Auto has already posted their time for the M2. And it's not "very close" (I think it was 8:02). So please: Always compare times that were driven by the same "person" or manufacturer. Of course BMW claims a better time (because they know how to set up the car better than some journalist) than Sport Auto.

I don't think that the M2 will be close to the E92 M3 GTS when driven by the same driver and under the same conditions.

Slower than a Civic Type R

The sport auto M2 times was done on a damp track in something like 30 degree f weather wasn't it?

Yep, a civic with a rollcage, removed seats, track tires, probably a tune...you know, stock.

[JustChris]

Was the Civuc on special tyres and pro driven etc etc? Not hating just curious, it's awesome for front drive ricer. (Yes I am hating the looks )

Yep, tires, cage, seats removed. I'm not sure of what other mods that "stock" civic had. Probably tune, suspension, brakes, you know.

The M2 proto with S55 you mean?
See my sig . According to TG Germany talking to BMW M GmbH engineers there was a 7:52 in it(M2) but because of obvious reasons (hence M3/4 canibalism) , 7:58 would do better in the marketing dept.

True enough, was meant to be tongue-in-cheek.

Its more or less on par with a production Seat Leon Cupra manual. No moderate power fwd should be getting near it. Whether the Cupra time is to be believed or not is another thing entirely.
