M2 on the Grand Tour!
Who's watching? Great praise from JC calling it the best M car BMW has ever made.
I was hoping it would be as fast as an M3 though, but still great showing and great footage ! |

Finally located the video on Amazon Prime. It was fun to watch, and made me love my M2 all the more!

M2 would done a bit better if the track wasn't straight like a coat hanger.

Can't believe they picked Mike Skinner as the American driver, I am sure he is a nice guy and he is great on ovals but I don't think he has much experience driving any variety of cars. Would have been nice to see them get a great driver like Scott Pruett or perhaps a great Canadian driver like Boris Said.

"I think this is the best ///M car BMW has ever made."
"This car happily has an old back-to-basics approach." "Klaus and Fritz, I am loving your work." "This isn't as fast in a straight line as an M3, but everywhere else it is better. It feels less heavy, less cumbersome, and due to the unique characteristics of our straight, I can tell the steering is less twitchy." "This thing is an absolute masterpiece. I can say it is the best ///M car BMW has ever made. It's mad to suggest the cheapest ///M car is the best. But look at it this way: this track is a lot cheaper than Silverstone, and I know which one I'd rather drive around." "It's a fabulous car, it's a brilliant car, it really honestly is." OK, Jeremy Clarkson liked the M2 6MT.
