Had my M2 G87 for 6 months now. Quick review:

The good:

  • S58 engine is phenomenal
  • Manual gearbox is great (yes I got the manual)
  • Compact size is perfect for B-roads
  • Looks are growing on me

The bad:

  • Fuel consumption is terrible (15L/100km average)
  • Ride is harsh on bad roads
  • No wireless CarPlay (seriously BMW?)
  • Rear seats are useless

Would I buy it again? Absolutely. Its the most fun car Ive ever owned. But its not a practical daily driver.

    BMW paint has always been thin. Its a known issue across all models. PPF is the only real solution. Or just accept the stone chips as character.

    Great review. I have the same car and agree with everything. The fuel consumption in the city is painful but on a B-road or track, nothing else comes close at this price point. One thing I would add - the stock Michelin PS4S tires are excellent but they wear fast if you do any spirited driving. Budget for a new set every 15-20k km.
