I got a MKIV Supra when I was 16, and I've managed to keep it over 20 years later. But I have a question how is it that the MKV BMW Zupra has a HUD while the M2 or 2 Series of any variant can't manage to get one, I don't quite understand that.
Oh and this is me I've since moved from Ohio to Irvina California and love being able to drive these things more often: but I'm looking to pick up a BMW M2 CS becuase I'm starting to really enjoy the brand and want to see what more they have to offer seeing as how it's clear now Toyota can't really do it for me.

I think the Supra designers were SNL fans...
This is what I think of when I see the Mk V Supra. I can't be the first!

Hahaha, yeah the MKV definitely is a look that only appeals to some people. And honestly i prefer that. To me it makes the care more special, and it also means less people in general will buy the car. You think driving an m2 around is rare? Try one of these. In the 3 months that i've owned mine, i've only seen 2 on the road, and in my area i see an M2 Competition about twice a month easy.

M2 CS is going to be a beast of a machine for sure. The adaptive suspension is easily going to solve a lot of the stock suspension issues some people have with the Competition model, and i hear it just seems to be even more of an aggressive car for the track. Honestly part of me kinda wants to get another m2 Competition, but its hard to justify as one of my cars already has to sleep outside and due to COVID i barely drive as is. |

I'm of the mindset that if I was to go for a GT style cruise-mobile with some amount of sportiness I'd go for something like an S5- stylish, luxurious, comfortable, with a good dose of sporting pretensions, and in a similar price range. |

Cross shopped M2c and the Supra (had many BMWs/fun cars and all were 6 speed) so this is my first auto. I was actually surprised how fun the Auto is compared to the 6speed in the M2. I say this a lot but I think the new turbo cars of these generations are just better and more fun in an auto/dct spec. I'll get an ND2 MX5 or another S2000 to scratch my NA manual itch. The 6 speed in the M2c just wasn't fun. I think xxyion said it well in his other post where the 1-2 just isn't smooth and I spent more time thinking about it rather than just driving. And ive driven many manuals from my 1m coupe/s2000/mx5/993 911s that ive owned. Also love the cockpit and the looks of the Supra. But, and this is a big but, this is my second car. I have a 4 runner for my daily...if I had to get one car to do it all, I would go M2 for the bigger trunk/backseat/foldown for really usable trunk space.

Went the M340i route and absolutely hated the 8ZF although people rave about that AT... struggled with it for 9 months, sold it and not anxiously waiting for the 6MT... |

I cross shopped M2 CPO, M2C, RS3, and Supra.
The Supra was far too cramped. Hard to get in and out of, and visibility was garbage. Went with M2C, MANUAL.

Sure maybe its me? However i've only ever owned 2 AT vehicles in my life and i have a LOOOOONG car list so pretty sure it was more the car than my driving ability. While i agree the ZF8 is nothing to write home about in most applications, i find that Toyota tunes it differently in the Supra, it feels more like a DCT than a torque converter |

I get what you’re saying but still, I like the transmission a lot once I got used to it again. In normal drive, I use first to get it moving and shift to 2nd ASAP (low RPMs). |

The Supra has a lot more aluminum panels - I hate how the M2 has all steel everything especially when even the S2000, Miata, F150 etc is constructed/designed/executed with aluminum panels. BMW simply took the 2 series body, added the flares and width and bumpers etc... Great effect aesthetically and performance-wise for sure but still seemed very shortcuttish and cheap to me for an M sports car.
The interior of the Supra does feel more well designed too... Hate how the M2 has those obnoxious and nasty side cup holder storage area that sticks out the inner doors. Also the plastic on the dash is nicer in the Supra. The LCI+ instrument cluster and speedometer area MUCH better on the LCI M2 though. In terms of performance, the Supra is faster on the track and in a straight line... Even DCT ones. 0-150 and also Nurburgring, VIR etc. -and gets 25% better MPG! Notice better steering feel in the Supra too - feels a lot more natural and responsive instead of overly heavy and dull. And to top it off, the Supra's Ride quality is much more superior in almost every aspect... Toyota really tuned it well and it's far less harsh than the M2 while performing better overall. Those are my observations... Last edited by M2_Purist; 07-03-2021 at 06:49 PM.. |
