lol, exactly!

BentZero · 12-19-2016, 09:16 AM

I'd rather walk than have to drive the Ford. Also, did anyone else cringe when that dude was leaning up against the M2 with his jeans?

Funny because id rather walk than drive most BMW's out there.

sittingmongoose · 12-19-2016, 10:28 AM

I love how they said the m2 will only do 155...that video was cringe worthy all the way through.

In that case you may have found yourself in the wrong forum...

The true marvel here is that you can still make a career out of having an accent and saying "proper" over and over again.

Yeah, my winter tires are breaking loose on wet pavement while WOT in 5th! This thing pulls like a freight train with a simple boost controller. Not a single complaint except that I won't be able to feel how upper RPM range is until after break-in. Low and mid-range is smooth, no hiccups, no CEL.

ChrisK · 12-19-2016, 12:16 PM

I hate misinformation.

The M2 is factory limited to 155. That isn't the top end!!

Can you go faster than 155 mph without coding? No. Therefore it is the top end.

May not be the real top end, but if the car tops out at 155 mph and can't go any faster - be it because of drag or a computer - then they're technically right.

And that is THE ONLY THING I will defend from that video...ugh
