Yeah true.

Don't agree about the carbon fibre,think it looks pretty trick.

And it's real dry carbon as already stated

Right. I hope I didn't say anything different about the E diff.

I just wanted to add info that's all.

Non M BMWs sometimes have 'E diffs', open diffs wich are electronically controlled by braking one of the driven wheels making turning in easier.

The M LSD sends the power of the spinning inside wheel to the outside wheel easily spoken.



Cheers

To rephrase the notorious Carlsberg slogan:

2Addicts: probably the best BMW M2 forum in the world.

But glad you enjoyed the rest of the review.
Can you edit out the reflection on your sunglasses? :P

Great video but that bit was rather distracting.

Hahaha I don't get what everyone's problem is with those glasses. It is so damn bright in SoCal I can't even go out without glasses. I really must have very light sensitive eyes.

In my reviews from Germany I can go without most of the time haha.

Haha ok ok. I am just curious because of course I don't care so much what I think, I care about what the audience thinks. I would just like to know what's so distracting about the glasses?

Are they too stylish? lol

Or is it simply the reflection (which I find very cool, even I might be the only one)?

Thanks

I think the issue is that the lenses appear to be perfectly flat rather than concave and thus reflect light like a mirror. With the scenery constantly flying by, it makes a distracting flash. Not that big of a deal, just think it distracted from your presentation. Otherwise, video was great. Cheers.

Wow guys I am so happy this review got already over 7600 views! I know that's not a lot in Youtube terms, but for me starting from 0, this is pretty nice. I will work hard to get to 100k views!

Thanks for your support and I hope you keep sharing with your car friends. More videos to come soon!
