The author's enthusiasm is palpable as they discuss their latest project - a BMW M2 with a significant upgrade package. The car's deep, throaty sound is music to the author's ears, particularly when the valves are closed. However, once opened, the engine's sound becomes even more satisfying, with a "real" inline-six tone that brings a sense of excitement and satisfaction.
As the author takes the car for a drive, they highlight the improvements made to the suspension and wheels, which provide a firmer yet not bouncy ride. The author notes that these upgrades are a notable departure from the standard configuration, as evidenced by the larger wheels in the front. This is an interesting approach taken by the BMW dealership, aiming to extract even more performance from the car.
The author reflects on their initial impressions of the M2, which they felt was almost too good to be true given its price point. However, they now appreciate the car's unique qualities and believe it may even surpass some aspects of its M4 counterpart. This sentiment is reinforced by the author's personal preference for this particular model over the M4.
As the author takes the car out for a spin, they're eager to test its capabilities on the highway. The speedometer cam provides an entertaining addition, capturing the sound and visuals of the driving experience. Upon reaching certain speeds, the whistle from the exhaust system becomes audible, signaling the increased velocity.
The author takes note that the suspension's behavior can be affected by driving conditions; while it performs admirably at higher speeds, it doesn't maintain its firmness when slowed down again. This consideration is essential for potential buyers looking to upgrade their suspension, particularly those who spend less time on the autobahn.
Exhaust-wise, the author praises the Acrapovic titanium exhaust system as a plug-and-play solution that brings significant improvements in terms of sound quality and reduced weight. Additionally, this modification results in a modest increase in power output, making it an attractive option for enthusiasts seeking to enhance their M2's performance.
The author concludes their review by commenting on the car's appearance in the distinctive red color scheme, which they find particularly striking when combined with the carbon fiber trim. The overall driving experience is characterized as stable and responsive, thanks in large part to the well-designed platform that underpins this BMW model.
As a final note, the author recommends checking out the work of Story Weber, a brand featured in their review, for those interested in acquiring any parts or accessories for their own M2 upgrades.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up ladies and gentlemen and welcome to this POV review by autotop now my name is Max and today we are taking a look at this demo car by BMW story in vber in the Netherlands they are a BMW dealership who understand that you sometimes need to do something crazy on your demo car to get some attention and to show people what they can do with their car and this is a very good example a BW M2 with a bit of M performance going on some M performance goodies we've got wheels an exhaust suspension so yeah a lot to talk about I'll show you everything and then we'll take it for a drive towards the autan for an Automan blast now this spec is Toronto red if I'm not mistaken I quite like it for the M2 I think it works really well with all the black in the front here the black lower part of the bumper the black grill here as well and then we've got this carbon inlay for the air intake which looks really cool definitely accentuates that that squared off intake looks amazing and then we've got no laser lights which is the first time I'm seeing that on an M2 that means that you just get this stripe here so no like Angel eysh thing in the headlight just a little rectangle there uh we've got a sticker on the Bonnet here to accentuate the power Dome and then wheels are hre very cool wheel actually I think it fits the car very well because you also have like those sort of square rectangular spokes this is a 285 tire at the front though and I think that is a bit too wide maybe because it sometimes rubs a little bit but that is also because this car has been lowered with an MSS suspension kit adjustable suspension kit if I'm not mistaken so that definitely has something to do with it 20in at the front here and then red calipers for the M sport brakes as well carbon fiber side skirt we've got the black mirrors the black uh window surrounds carbon roof and then a dual rear spoiler one on top there and one on the boot LD which is very aggressive this rear one this is and performance and then we've got carbon here in the rear bumper as well as well as the diffuser very nice rear tires let me just check 2 95s yeah and also 20 so it's 20s all around 2 95 at the rear that's very wide and we've got a lovely lovely acrapovic exhaust as well which is just a great modification for this car the sound just completely changes it's much deeper and darker something of course the car can really use let me just start it up so you guys can hear it so this is valves closed but if we open them up you can immediately hear that Idol it just deepens sounds really good oh that's amazing okay let's go for a drive of course we've covered the M2 before so if you want to check out that video click in the top right corner we're just going to have a little drive to see what it feels like with these wheels tires suspension and of course that glorious acrapovic exhaust oh I mean modern cars they don't sound that good anymore we know that they try they really do but this this sounds like a proper inline six it really brings the sound to the next level oh and you have little burbles sometimes in addition to that like that real inlight 6 sound you get really really good that is a big Improvement and this is just the slip on line by a crap ofage the titanium exhaust so it's OPF back so it is completely legal it's just basically from the center to the rear so it's a very easy mod to make and it's makes a big difference you can hear the burbles are much louder as well the MSS I can feel that it's it's a little bit firmer I wouldn't say it's like bouncy or anything it's just a little bit firmer which is nice but it's definitely a lot more aggressive this setup with the suspension and these wheels this of course is also not the standard size I think they're a bit bigger definitely one size up in the front but it's cool to see uh BMW dealership really like trying to extract some more from the car because you don't really see it that often uh it's quite nice and they definitely use some good parts yes please so M2 460 horsepower inline 6 Twin Turbo you guys know it it's basically a baby M4 when I first reviewed this car I was really struggling because I felt like why why would anyone buy an M4 anymore if you can buy this for less money and it's basically the same car uh I actually even I like it even more than an M4 so I like that story BMW took this to do this project with okay here we go Full Throttle very nice sound it's definitely louder than stalk in here you do hear a whistle now which is down to the fact that I guess those wheels are a bit too wide for this car and also suspension wise I'm not sure that this MSS kit is the best solution if you do a lot of autobound driving because now it starts to get a little bit Bouy that's 277 oh nice going forgot to turn on the speedo cam there we go idiot so now you guys can see it we red 270 the whistle is pretty loud 288 89 to 90 yeah I feel like as soon as I slow down again the suspension kind of settles in and and and sort of works again if you go faster it it doesn't really work anymore uh so yeah just take that into consideration if you are looking for a suspension upgrade and you don't do a lot of timan driving works perfectly but yeah so exhaust wise this acrapovic is definitely the most plug andplay option you have as I said it's just OPF back so it's really just the rear silencer with a little bit added on uh and it just it really changes the sound it's a big big Improvement it also saves some weight of course because it's titanium it's very light and you gain a little bit of I think like seven or eight horsepower uh when you install it so that's also a nice bonus I do really like the car in red though I I think it's a bit of a shame that you don't have the contrast of the real light of course because it's also red but the rest of the car combined with the carbon fiber really like that fourth gear very nice so little bit lower speed I think we should be able to get like a little bit of a burble ah it doesn't do it all the time which is great there it is that's nice it's like a little crackle on the overrun so let's just put it through this corner see how it feels I mean this is this is pretty damn incredible these cars this platform is so good it's outrageous so stable for such a well relatively small car feels very grown up yeah that's lot really cool car so this one is for sale at story wber if you want any of the parts go check them out give them a follow on Instagram and uh check out their website if you want more information that's it for this review hope you enjoyed it and I'll see you with the next video you can subscribe by clicking the big button in the middle check out this video or this playlist bye
