Its been a few months but I had sold my A90 Supra and R56 Mini and ordered an M2. Finally Took delivery on Saturday. Some things I gotta get used to and I certainly have to run through the break in period but so far, its been fantastic.
Couple notes after driving the Supra for 2+ years:
- Handles its weight quite well, I wasn’t being super spirited but took it on some country roads and it was very well balanced with limited to no body roll. Just went where I was pointing it with no understeer.
- Steering is very very light, as others have mentioned, its still in its “comfort” setting so I can see how it loads up in “sport” mode but something to get used to/learn
- I like the screen/infotainment setup, will need to figure out my preferences for whats on screen when, but a lot of info is available when/where I want it. Pretty responsive, will use mostly apple car play for the foreseeable future but things are available if I want them.
- shifter is…interesting. It has decent feel but I’ve mis-shifted once so its probably just something I need to get used to, though never did that in the mini
- clutch is good if not a little high grabbing, just something to learn but haven’t stalled it and its not as “heavy” as my dads old 01 330i from back then
- minor nitpick but I 100% prefer door “handles” rather than levers, just personal preference I guess

Get a clutchstop from bms and the m performance short shifter. It will transform your manual experience. Much more direct and connected. It helped a lot on my manual 340
its been sitting on my desk for about 2 months…I’ll actually put it on tonight
Very quick to do…enjoy!
wow it looks so good in white, did you hit big on the stock market???
haha no. I’m not sure I’d tell anyone but there would be signs.
Looks fantastic, congrats and enjoy!
Just got my G87 on Friday!!! Loving it so far
Congrats my man! Hope the break in period goes fast. The S58 is mental. Any plans for mods?
