My M2 @ Nürburgring (first lap of 2018 with a ringvirgin as a passenger)

Franzino · 08-18-2018, 01:40 PM

The very first lap off 2018 (in march) with a good friend who wanted to experience the track herself. Standard M2 with Pagid RS-29 brake pads, standard suspension, standard Michelin Supersport tyres, standard exhaust. Go Pro started recording a minute late

After 1 minute on her first lap ever she already saw one accident...WTF must be going thru her head

Excellent driving, you made it look easy!

It’s great to see how a fairly standard M2 when driven properly can fly by everybody on the track. It also looks like you are having a ton of fun doing it, I hope to get the chance to do this one day!

Thanks for sharing!

The first two times when I drove my M2 @ The Nurburgring in 2017 I did not feel it straight away with the car. For reference; I drove the Nurburgring the previous 7 years with my modified Z4M. I got used to the 100kg more weight, the bigger dimensions and the turbo engine on track. Then I started to love and enjoy the M2 as much on track as I already enjoyed it on the street (my daily driver). For me; the M2 is great do it all car...big fun and also practical on the street and also big fun and fast on the track (if you use the right brake pads + brake oil). It's not the absolute best in one or the other; but in my opinion is't great at the combination of the two for a relative ok price.

A fairly standard M2 is indeed a very capable Nurburgring car with a huge level of fun. I only drove my M2 on the Nurburgring and not yet on Spa. In the end it's all about the fun...there are no prizes to win! That is one of the main reasons I got the manual M2, slower then the M2 with DCT (certainly on track)...but damn this is fun
