I'm Driving A BMW M2 For 3 Months: What Do You Want To Know?
TeamCT’s long-term test garage has received an injection of BMW M Division this week, and it’s all thanks to the arrival of this jolly handsome M2. It’ll sit alongside ‘our’ Ford Mustang GT, and the Civic Type R we’ve been running since April - albeit just for a couple of weeks until we hold back the tears and send it back to Honda.
It’s finished in Long Beach Blue, and - as requested by an overwhelming majority of CTzens in a poll we ran a few months back - it’s rocking the six-speed manual gearbox, as opposed to the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
We have a busy schedule in mind for the M2, involving twin tests with competitors and BMW’s own cars, a hot date with Colin - Alex’s E36 M3 - road trips, and a lot more. Most importantly, we want to answer this question over the next three months: is the M2 a worthy M car?
As ever though, we want you guys to get involved with your own suggestions. Is there a particular aspect of M2 ownership you want to know about? Do you think there’s a car we simply have to test it against? Want to know how many bottles of Candyup fit in the boot? Hit the comments section now at let us know.
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.

Will you ever use the indicator?
I have an idea, tug o war between Colin and the M2?
MCM shoe test and CT fist test.
Should be mandatory on all your cars 😁
Is it practical? Can you commute in it? What’s the ride like? Does it have character? Reliability? Mpg?
Since it’s called the new e46 sometimes, maybe compare it to one to see, if it’s really the reincarnation of the amazing e46.
Can Alex fit in the trunk?
Insert sarcastic BMW line here
M2 vs. Colin
how does the manual gearbox feel and compare to its rivals
Does it come with optional turn signals?
