He's said that "the exhaust gets louder" in Sport mode. I was under the impression that one has to use the Bluetooth remote to operate the exhaust valves... It was probably the Active Sound Design crap that got louder, in my opinion. I guess we'll have to wait until some fellows get the MP exhaust on their cars, then.

The reviewer doesn't think its worth the premium over the M235i, but I'm not sure his value comparison is valid, since his tester is loaded up with BMW performance bits.

All I know is that I would pay nearly the same money for a comparably equiped M235i versus what I'm paying for M2...about a $3K CDN difference.

Nice to see a test vid on coilovers. It looks so much better. It might be the must have option for me.

Dont take the review too seriously, he's not exactly chris harris.

The M2 is £10K more than a 235 in the UK,so this version tested is £20K more

Why would the guy compare the price of the M2 with all the performance parts to the price of a regular M235i and M4,when he is talking about car value.Definitely not a valid comparison.

I did enjoy seeing the video of the Alpine White M2.The car looks awesome in AW.

This car seems to have not very wide reartyres which can be an optical illusion because it's lowered. Don't like that...

Cheers

I think he's comparing stock to stock since he says there's a £10k difference from m235 to M2


We should start reviewing reviews lol I'd give this an 8/10

Yes it does. I finally got to see mine and pics definitely do not do it justice.

Car Throttle is great. Just enough tongue in cheek mixed with enthusiast nerdery.

This. MPE was a must-have option for me but I can't really tell the difference between the MPE and the stock exhaust from these videos.
