Just goes to show that removing the de-tune on the M2C would make it a monster. Possibly uncontrollable - who knows.

I don't understand why they didn't compare with a DCT m2c to make it a closer comparison.

No wonder BMW advertised the "Weight optimized" stock tune for the M2C like it was a feature. It could barely get off the line without lighting up the rear wheels.

Anymore power and it would just be violently spinning tires and going no where fast, like the pre-LCI M4 used to be.

Also, no one mention that the M4 has wider rear tires. I believe it's 265 vs 295, a notable advantage to the M4.

I'm seeing now why BMW is going AWD for the next gen M4

Seems like always make a pointless drag race more pointless with auto vs manual.

Was excited about this until I saw the M2 was manual and the M4 DCT. Why even bother doing a test like this when it's not like for like.

The fact it's also been raining heavily makes it a wasted opportunity also.

Hopefully they'll redo a more comparable and like for like video in the future.

They always do this type of drag races that makes no sense. When they did it for OG M2 v. M2C, one was auto and one was manual. Why bother???

Next race will be an i3 vs an X7 on a gravel track in a blizzard at an attempt to gain a truly balanced, fair, and unskewed result. The i3 will have an autonomous driver as well.
