I recently test-drove the G87 M2 Competition and was blown away by its acceleration. 0 to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds is impressive, especially for a car that feels so balanced on the road.

3

Absolutely! The handling is exceptional too. It corners like it’s on rails; you really feel connected to the road. It gives you the confidence to push it hard through bends.

4

I had it out in some rain, and while it’s manageable, the rear can get a bit loose if you aren’t careful with the throttle. Overall, it’s still fun to drive, but you have to be a bit more cautious.

The driving dynamics truly shine on twisty roads. Compared to my old Audi S4, the steering response is much sharper, making it a joy to drive. It feels like a proper sports car!

6

Right? I feel the same. It also has a great balance of daily usability and track capability, which is rare in this segment.

While I love its performance, I sometimes wonder if it sacrifices comfort for it. How is the ride quality over bumps compared to competitors like the AMG A45? Anyone have insights?

I love how customizable the M2 is! The options for suspension settings let you adjust the car to match any driving style or mood. It’s like having multiple cars in one!

Yes! You can go from comfy cruiser to track-ready beast in seconds! It’s great for those who enjoy variation in driving experiences.

I’ve driven quite a few M cars, and I would say the G87 hits that sweet spot of performance and everyday usability. It competes well with the likes of the Porsche Cayman at a fraction of the price.

I totally agree! The M2 is such a good value for what it offers. It’s not just about speed; it’s about engaging driving

12

I think the only downside is the pricing for options. You can easily get carried away and before you know it, that base price has skyrocketed! Anyone else feel that?

13

So true! It’s like shopping for a new phone, one upgrade leads to another. Just keep a close eye on the budget!

14

The seating comfort is excellent! I took a drive for a few hours, and I didn’t feel fatigued at all. The sport seats really hug you in.

15

Absolutely! The adjustable bolstering is a game-changer for long drives. It’s like they thought of everything.

16

While the interior looks great, I’ve noticed some hard plastics that feel out of place in this price range. Just my two cents!

Overall, though, I think the interior design reflects BMW’s performance ethos well. It’s sporty and elegant at the same time.

18

Exactly! BMW has nailed that balance. Definitely a standout in the segment.

19

The tech features can feel overwhelming. Honestly, I miss simpler setups where you could just adjust the AC without staring at a screen.

I really appreciate hearing everyone’s thoughts! It seems the comfort level is generally praised, but the tech can be hit or miss.
