Nice! I'm glad he didn't spend the whole ~13 minutes going over the spec sheet. Really enjoyed it and the car sounded surprisingly good to me at the parts that they did outside recording (3:15 and 13:21).

A little too much annoying gushing!

Agree, stock exhaust sounds really good under load.

I expected a lot worse after listening to some idle videos. Not bad at all. That's good news.

COChris · 10-03-2018, 01:41 PM

That's a great representation of the exhaust and all the fun burbles and pops that come with it.

akkando · 10-03-2018, 02:48 PM

Best quality video review so far.

mr_lab_rat · 10-03-2018, 02:58 PM

I'm still waiting for what Chris Harris got to say

Spydert · 10-03-2018, 04:42 PM

M2C is a great car but yeah, the gushing was a bit too much.

My honest opinion of the exhaust....I think it sounds fantastic! It's getting even better with more miles. Go carbon!

Note: Once you turn off ASD, you can really hear this beast. I can hear ASD in his video, plain as day.

I hear my exhaust only at cold start somewhere in the background... That is with windows and doors closed.

I will fit a decent exhaust and remove ASD, then it will hopefully be a feast.

Those dam PF's. Can't wait to see and hear what you end up putting on.

Time will tell what it will be... I am happy there are no reported CEL warnings from other user(s) now, when you drive without them so that gives a lot of hope for a decent solution into the future.

I love the cinematic soundtrack in the beginning.

infinitekidM2C · 10-03-2018, 06:16 PM

is there anyway to find the particular individual that came up with "ASD"? Want to send him some....flowers.. yeah that's the ticket.

Kleinacus · 10-03-2018, 08:33 PM

Dude definitely banged that car, right?

Exhaust sounds fantastic as does the engine. I am not feeling any of the negativity others have discovered. I do not want to stop driving it.

Nice...I can even feel the car pulling over the screen when he stomped the throttle in lower gears

Well done BMW for the S55 in the M2C! I felt in love with it since I test drove an M4 a few years back...

Davil · 10-03-2018, 10:25 PM

That's the sort of enthusiasm that's impossible to fake. Love it.
Really nicely shot video as well. Great colour, angles, sound.

Also it isn’t a press car, so he doesn’t feel obligated to be fake. He can say what he wants and it clearly seems he really likes the car a lot.

scflaw · 10-04-2018, 01:27 AM

The Non EU versions without the OPF sound significantly better. Sounds aggressive like the m4 competition that i test drove.
