BMW M2 Competition 2019 review | better than a Porsche 718 Cayman? | Autocar

Опубликовано 13 сентября 2018, 14:00

The BMW M2 Competition is a more hardcore, more driver-focused version of a car that was already quite hardcore and driver-focused. The M2 is BMW's compact sports hatch. It's fast, agile, grippy and is the kind of car to rival Porsche's 718 Cayman. Subscribe now: smarturl.it/autocar

For our money, the Cayman retained the edge over the M2, owing to the fact that - although it has a wheezy-sounding four-cylinder engine - the Cayman was better to throw at a set of corners.

The M2 Competition (which, effectively, just replaces the M2) sets out to change that, though. With a new engine straight out of the M3 and M4 (albeit marginally detuned) and with a new suspension set up, it aims to knock the 718 off of its smug class-topping perch.

Join us as we take the M2 Competition onto the Ascari race track and the excellent roads surrounding it, to see what the car is made of.
