I've owned all sorts of sports cars. Literally a few dozen in 45 years of driving. This is my favorite of the bunch. It has so much power that you are never wanting for acceleration. If you are so inclined, you can drift the car controllably anytime you want. The handling is excellent (though I do notice a little squirm from the tires at times). You never feel like you aren't in control. It is very stiff - but on reasonably smooth roads it's great. On smooth roads it's sublime. For a small coupe it's spacious enough, very comfortable, and has very generous storage in the trunk (and the rear seat folds down). Looks are great in my opinion - muscular with bulging fender wells. I opted for the DCT and don't regret it - it makes a great commuter car. It has M-drive settings so you can custom tailor shift points, exhaust opening, etc. The exhaust can be raucous if you open the valves, so it's nice to be able to close them and keep the noise down. With the transmission set to shift at low revs and the exhaust valves close, it becomes a semi-luxury car. Smooth, relatively quiet, and unobtrusive. But raise shift setting to the highest of the 3 and open the exhaust valves and it rips and wails. Unlike the first gen M2, this one has the real M motor (S55), real M mirrors, real M leather on the seats, etc. Also has the carbon fiber strut tower brace which just looks great. Negatives are there - it is a little jerky in stop and go driving at times (put it in the mildest settings for best operation in traffic), gas mileage is not terrific (I average about 22 MPG even with significant steady state highway driving), and there are some rattles here and there, likely due to the stiff suspension. The infotainment system is much better than the earlier Beemers, but still weird in places. Phone integration is pretty good and Apple Car Play is well integrated (I have the Executive Package as well which is worth the extra). All in all a wonderful performance car that has some exclusivity. I rarely see another one when I'm driving.

It's a bit cramped in the back seat. Visibility out rear-side windows when backing up is limited. I would now add that the acceleration and braking are very gratifying. I used to own a 2003 ZHP 330i, which I thought handled better. Steering was definitely more precise. But, the M2 outshines the 2010 Audi S4 I owned previously. Really, nothing in my experience compares to BMW handling for street driving. It makes driving to the super market fun.

This is my 6th BMW and it is the best one yet. The M2 has phenomenal power and handling and it is a relative bargain too. The manual transmission is a joy to use in daily driving. The clutch pedal feels light and the engine has so much torque that you can easily skip gears. Unless you are tracking the car you don’t need to hit every gear when you accelerate. It’s not unusual for me to start in first gear, move to 2nd and then shift to 4th then 6th gear. The car comes pretty much fully loaded with only a couple of available options. Compare the loaded MSRP of the M2 to a comparably equipped M235i. They are nearly identical in MSRP. So what do you get in the M2 that you don’t get in the M235i? You get more power, better brakes, wider tires and better performance. The M2 also comes with a standard limited slip differential which is a $2,700 accessory on the M235i. M2 fuel mileage is about 24 MPG in my daily driving and I get 29 MPG on long highway trips. One thing to note, the suspension is stiff and it is not adjustable like it is on the M235i. All-in-all, this is one of BMW’s best driver’s car.

I’m 74…owned a lot of cars. Traded my Z4 for the superior road handling of this little gem. No Cons from me except I miss the convertible sometimes on a beautiful day. The Long Beach Blue gets compliments from everybody everywhere. Best car I’ve ever owned.
Fabulous M2

I've had to modify previous sports cars to get great performance and handling - but not the M2. My 2017 M2 is just perfect the way it is. Handles great on the track and on windy roads.. Especially with the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. I found no need to modify anything. The back seat comes in very handy and comfortably seats 2 adults. Wonderful cornering and great response. Truly a great sports car. And practical as a daily driver tool Best car I've ever owned. .
