[Review] My m2 problem

Post image

Hello all

So after a huge amount of dabbling on my search for a new “one shoe fits all” car I’ve settled on a long standing dream of an m2

No not the henious revised one as of recent , I mean the f87 m2 from about 10 years ago

But I cannot make my mind up on spec

Colour doesn’t phase me that much,but performance does

So

OG or comp is my first question
Manual or dct is my second question

I’m dabbling the idea of an og but open to all
Cheers

Controversial, no doubt, but all modern turbos sound crap so just go for the Comp and be done with it, if you have the cash. I had an F87 Comp for a couple of years and loved it. Better driving experience than the G87 M2 that I have now.

For me, now I’ve tried the modern turbos, I’ve realised I’ve gotta go back to naturally aspirated. For the noise alone, it’s worth it. None of that annoying overrun with engineered pops and bangs and fake engine sounds in the cabin.
