In September 2020 I met up with Chris Kerr (AKA Whiskeytwentyone) and Matt Smart from @SytnerTV to look at the development of arguably one of the best BMW M cars to ever be made.
Launched in 2016 - the BMW M2 was a head liner grabber from day one. loved by journalists and enthusiasts alike, the car was an instant classic.
In 2018 - The critics of the OG M2 were answered with the launch of the BMW M2 Competition. Gone was the single turbo n55 engine, in came the s55 from the M3/M4 variants. But whilst it was the engine that grabbed the headlines, the reality was that the chases and handling was the big leap forward. Again, the car received huge praise from all corners... but it wasn't without its controversy...
With new EU regulations came more stringent exhaust emission standards and OPF filters!
Finally, the swan song! The M2 CS was launched only a few weeks ago, with orders of the limited run now completely sold out. is this the ultimate version of one of BMW's most recent success stories... Or a step too far????
We met up at Caffeine & Machine to discuss and debate the 4 years of evolution along with an "exhaust off" for you to enjoy...
But what would you do?
Which model would you buy?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts
