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.

M2 vs 1M would be a smoking video - new vs old, baby M vs baby M!
Will it blend?
You pick up any girl with that?
Does my wife count?
Does it really live up to the hype?
Real world mpg. I know it’s dull but I just want to know.
I testdrove one (also manual) and got around 11l/100km
Pretty sure you can get below 10 easily
Top speed autobahn run, Burnouts, and drifting. Also how many CT employees can fit inside.
Top speed run was sorted using another M2 back in May :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2910L34fk6o
Put on wintertyres and find out how it works on snowy roads.
How about some sideways action? ;)
Is a manual still worth getting? My hope is yes, but I’m curious
Compare this to 370Z please, IMO these 2 are the best enthusiast RWD cars being made today.
