Chris Harris Pits The BMW M2 Against The Legendary 1M
In another episode of Chris Harris drives, the man tries to find out whether or not the M2 is a 'proper' M car, by comparing it to his own 1M
Despite being using a strikingly similar recipe, the M credentials of the already legendary 1M aren’t questioned in the way the M2’s often are. Perhaps that’s because - as Harris explains here - it was something of a skunk works project. A bit old school. A bit of a brute.
Wherever you stand, the M2 comes off favourably here, even against a mildly fettled 1M which also happens to be Harris’ own.
Which one gets a place in your fantasy garage?
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Neither.

I bet you can guess what I’d rather have. Lel
Slight price difference
Id have the 1M please…
My face when I saw the 1M
Id have the 1M i think! Underdog with a bite 😎
Neither cause I can’t afford them or the insurance.
The best cars always end up being the ones you cant get, either they are limited editions or they just appreciate like crazy!
Why are you only posting this now?
It came out like 4 months ago on the Top Gear website.
That’s what i thought… ah well
I would very much like the M2, but since a new one would cost me about £100000, and that’s before I start looking at the options list, I guess it’ll only be in my imagination…
M2’s start at like £50k…
The 1M has been my favourite car ever since BMW said they were going to make it
The 1M though! That is honestly my favorite bmw
I love the 1M but I’ve never been particularly excited about the M2 - I think I’d rather just remap the M235 and skip out on the questionable bodykit.
And of course put a proper diff in it.
