With a simple CS tune and Cup2 tires, I bet M2C can achieve a similar or better result than the M3/M4 CS laptime around the ring despite the weight disadvantage. |

Adding slicks and a tune to any car will drastically change everything, might stick with stock for stock comparisons and the video from sport auto is up, find it silly that they reported 2 seconds faster. It does not really matter. |

Sticking with stock vs stock, what you are saying about BMW messing up still doesn't make sense as the car outperformed M4 by 2 seconds. I guess BMW didn't do a very good job holding it back. |

Exactly. And 7:52 by CG is just fine. See the car understeer. Yeay I do. Oversteer is often MUCH nicer but for the Nordschleife and at very high speeds I have my doubts So the chassis is very well engineered as you can see in that video. But It probably needs the M3/4 tyresize up front... It's still a 1600kg car. What did Alfa Romeo 4C do? 8:05 And F10 M5 Comp? 575BHP 7:54 as I recall. Put on some other rubber or even better wider front tyres. But hey folks, this is what it is 7:50/7:52 and a great fun car. Cheers Robin |

Secondly the standard M4 if I recall did 7:50 and not the CS, I do not see your perspective on insisting that the M2C "must" come with C2 tires, apples to apples as in compare a car from the factory with another from the factory, the moment you change anything it's no longer "from the factory" is it? Have you even watched the video? Did you see how the transmission was shifting strangely? Ow just how much understeer it has? Instead of looking at just the lap times, maybe you should look at it as a package instead, you know the other things that matter in a car? |

And I'll do the work for you and point you the sources for M4's 7:52 laptime : "Equipped with DCT and ceramic brakes, the new BMW M4 lapped the famous Nurburgring in just 7:52 minutes, slightly behind the E46 M3 CSL (7:50) and the M3 GTS (7:48)." Link 1, link 2, link 3 |

Yes, so SportAuto matched their 7:52 done in the M4. 9 seconds quicker than the regular m2. |

Hope the Alpine wins. Easily the coolest car on sale today—-WISH they sold it in the US.
Nurburgring lap times are a waste of time and tell me nothing about the way a car feels...

This type of reviewing cars on track drifting and burning tires is so pathetic and wrong. These guys pretend to know everything about sports cars but they miss the most important part of a car/driver being smooth on the track. Absolutely horrible.
At least original Top Gear cast was entertaining. This guy pretends to be serious and wrong at the same time. |
