I kinda like him but his videos are boring. He keeps going on repeating the same thing.

Interesting findings. Somewhat unexpected.
Will be hard to make a decision without test driving one (and the anticipated COVID scarcity might make that impossible), but let’s just say I’m definitely less excited about this car now.

I like British accent very much but somehow I hate him. Same for that Scottish guy on drivetribe tube. Last edited by IronCore864; 08-06-2020 at 05:36 AM.. |

What was it you were hoping would be conveyed? I actually think the video pretty accurately reflects what BMW was hoping to accomplish. If someone wants a serious track prepped M2 the CS isn't the way to go. The $25k additional cost would be much better spent on a real suspension, lighter wheels, better brakes for track use etc etc. I feel like the CS is for a person that wants an M2 but wants all the coolest components available. Carbon fiber roof, carbon fiber hood, wheel/brake package, adjustable susp, interior changes all bad azz. There are obviously exceptions to the rule but vast majority of M2CS owners are buying the car because it looks so dam good, not because it's x.xx seconds faster around their local track. |

My current M3, engine-tuned mildly and running Ohlins suspension, is a very capable and exciting car. I track my car. I was hoping the M2 CS might capture the same excitement, with a full OEM warranty (and the lovely CF bits don't hurt). So yes, probably not for me.

You won't be able to test drive a CS, customer order only. Test drive a M2 Competition.

About a $25K difference here in Canada and definitely hard to justify. Probably my biggest issue with it is the fact that a much more capable S58 M2 is just around the corner.
Absolutely love the hood and wheels though. But of course, you gotta go gold on misano.

Gotta give him props for filming and editing that. 30 minutes is a lot of work. But, I don't have the time or attention span to watch all of that.

How do I sound like a straight up hater. I literally just asked if anyone else isn't a fan of his, I didn't call him names or even say anything that rude, simply asked a question. You need to not jump to conclusions. I don't hate him in any way, I just find him boring, hence I wanted to know if others felt the same.
