Great find, thanks!
Although I thought his review was sort of anticlimactic, as he's basically parroting everything we're already heard 10x over, it's always a delight to see him showcasing the vehicle's potential, as he whips it around the a track.. Summary: A revised M2 with a better motor, shiny new strut brace and some "ugly" wheels added for good measure. |

Unlike VV, at least he got all the facts correct, so any of his criticism hold more weight and credibility.. BTW, what's a "Yuba"? I didn't even understand the context it was used.. Even my homeboy Google is stumped : |

Comparing his past review length to this one ~ it's obvious that his schedule is full.

Interestingly the new brakes are actually a standout part of the car for him
Those cracked on early brake failure earlier seems to have disappeared off the face of this forum |

I love Chris and his reviews but he falls subject to the same failings as many other reviewers - making criticisms that contradict previous statements. For example, he stated that the old M2 simply wasn't up to snuff as a daily car that you can occasionally take to the track... really? "It wasn't up to the job". Not that it wasn't a "fantastic track car"... no, apparently its not even capable of "occasional track duty"... come on Chris, that's such a daft statement. This is the same guy that said the M2 was the best M car in years. He also compared it to the RS3 on the top gear track and make exaggerated statements about how much fun it was to drift around corners and alluded to it being the spiritual successor to the E46 M3. Silly man making silly statements Still love watching him light up rear tires though.

I am glad he likes the car as I have found his "feel" for cars is dead on even though he appears to just be hooning it up in the videos. The car review folks that talk too much about this and that annoy me as great cars are more than the sum of their parts/upgrades and when you get them on a track you know the difference between great and mehhh. I have had my M2 for 500 miles now and I instantly new it was a winner. After proper break in, the track cometh soon! That is, after a set of track wheels and MSC2s are thrown on it!

I guess I'm not the only one who thinks the seating position is a bit high. In fact, I think it's higher than my M4 (both at the lowest position).
