Best M car I've owned
by Earl 24 on 4/30/2026 7:04:38 PM
I had a 2015 M4 and then a 2018 M4 Competition. I moved to an I4 electric in 2023. In Dec 2026, I went back to gas and moved into the M2. Best move I've every made. I love the smaller size and it handles even better than the M4. The interior is nice and the Alcantara steering wheel is amazing. This car is very responsive, quick and the exhaust sound is perfect. So far this is my favorite car and that includes past Porsche 911. - 5.0
Best new M car there is...period!
by Ride on 4/6/2026 11:15:08 PM
Absolutely love this car. Looks mean and sounds great. Gotta love BMW's straight six. Ease onto the throttle, she likes to jet squirrely if you don't have the traction control on. If you have the means I highly suggest you buy one! - 5.0
BMW M2 - Best M Car
by Julio B on 1/21/2026 7:45:56 PM
After a wonderful experience in my 2021 M3, I decided to go with the M2. What an even better driving experience. This car rides like a race kart. Faster and better visibility all around. Feels way smaller than the M3, but the car is only 4" shorter (same width). My favorite M car by far.
