Chris Harris admits he judged the new BMW M2 too harshly before he had the chance to drive it, and this video stands as a reminded to never judge a book by i...
I gotta appreciate Harris’ take on the G87. God I miss Top Gear.
Yeah, i kind of get the sense that there are sort of two lineages that get mixed up with one another when we talk about small BMW performance coupes.
There’s the “precise driving machine” lineage and the “this is a tiny hoon-mobile ” lineage.
Cars like the E46 M3 and the E92 M3 fit into the former category while stuff like the 1M, the 2002 turbo and the M2 Comp fit into the latter. The G87 appears to be more the former than the latter. I think that’s part of why it feels so “M3 like” to a lot of people.
The car gets way too much hate. I don’t love the styling, but it’s not awful to my eyes either. I’d definitely consider one someday if the price were right.
