The only review that matters (aside from personal).

What are your expectations?

I expect him to say he likes it more than the outgoing M2, but that the 1M is still his favorite.

He'll eulogise it like he does most other Ms

Not expecting him to have many/any negative things to say.

He really liked the M2 so he's going to really like the M2C. I have to imagine he's going to like the extra power and as long as the extra weight doesn't get in the way I feel he may declare it the best current M car.

I'm sure you are joking but in case you aren't...

Chris Harris is all the benefits of Clarkson's reviews without the boring, unnecessary plot line. Think climax without the pizza delivery boy plot.

And who actually takes all reviews seriously and takes into consideration that people who might buy that car are watching the review and rely on his judgement.

I still didn't get over Clarkson's m135i vs Golf GTI review. Not only that he actually seriously compared 3.0 i6 320hp rwd to 2.0 i4 245hp fwd (GOLF R was already released back then) he declared Golf the winner because amongst other details, one could "put nuclear warhead in boot without other people noticing it". Oh and he was surprised of completely losing traction on sport+ at about 180km/h on wet airfield with probably really bad tires.
Yes, its fun and entertaining, but it's not a serious review.

In case you didn't watch this:


But I do love his e60 m5 review. Watched it about 10 times. This year only.
Part 1:

Part 2:




Edit: I'm watching it again.

I'm with you MR, I've always regarded Chris Harris reviews as the 'gold standard' so holding out for this one to see what he thinks.

He was also a big fan of the M3 when a lot of others didn't like it.

My 1M had the Akra. My M2 has the MPE. Each got their own character. I like both. The M2 additionally features the overrun sounds pushed through the MPE.

love the composure and calmness from Chris' videos. He has worked out long time ago, 1M is the keeper, like a 50yrs old marriage, the new M2 is pretty, young and tight, just reminds how beautiful your 1M once was.
The end.....

I hope he compares directly to an M2. Wish he could compare a US spec m2c to an M2.

I like this post.
In making an attempt to ridicule those that have already posted, you have taken the mantle of most ridiculous post.

*stupid*

I guess if the cap fits.

Anyway, looking forward to the review. His and Evo magazine’s road reviews are the only reviews worthy of attention IMO.

Henry Catchpole is a must add to that list imho. I'm not sure whether he's still at EVO, but you can catch him on Carfection (youtube). Great channel.
