I think it's too busy. But they're trying to market it as a competition model now and not a package so I suppose this is the least intrusive way to do it

Fair point. I thought the same about the AMG-S models I started seeing.

But, like those, my desire for the car outweighs my annoyance with the emblem!

I was there last week (Homestead Speedway, FL), pics don't do justice, thing is a beauty.
How did you like the experience? I was not impressed at all by the M2 during Autocross

My wife and I had a blast!!! How did you like it? My favorite was the lead follow laps in the M3&M4. I agree the M2 autocross was just OK I wish it was a bigger course and it would have been more fun in a M3/M4 or the new M2 Competition with the S55

I was there too. Came away not liking the M2 as well. Mixed feelings about the m5. The dragstrip was not enough to really get a feel for the m5 other than it felt big.

+ 1 on the laps in the m3/m4. Best part of the day.

The experience was great IMO, I mean you get Breakfast + Class + Drag Races + Lead/Follow on the Track (Twice) + Autocross + Hot Laps + Lunch + Souvenirs for $250 ?????? Can't beat that.

+2 on the Follow/Lead part, simply loved it.

The M2 felt really BASIC. Seats looked like there were pulled from an E30, no M1/M2 buttons, basic Mirrors and throttle response was just horrible. One thing that was a big deal for me was switching from Carbon Ceramic Brakes (which I also have on my F80) to regular brakes on the M2, the thing just didn't stop and I kept landing out the box lol

swifty · 06-22-2018, 07:10 PM

Appreciate the feedback guys.

classyfast · 06-22-2018, 08:46 PM

Drove past a new m5 today.....yawned. Uninspiring as hell.

The comp looks a little better

Eyeseayu · 06-22-2018, 09:13 PM

I was there too (with my husband cheering me on)!!! I can say for a fact that I was THE SLOWEST of the day (based on the auto cross times)... But I had a BLAST!!! Going from my 328 to those M's was such a rush! My favorite was the M5 during the drag race.
They'd continually emphasize to hit the brakes with 10/10 force... I was hesitant, but i couldn't believe it- the brakes didn't "lock" and no skidding. I wonder, would I get the same reaction from my 328??
Till we meet again

Agreed. Love the car but if you have to spell it out then you are trying too hard.
