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.

    I think the parts that resonate with me the most as a G87 owner are:

    1. The car is more of a successor to older M3 models, rather than the F87. The current M3/M4, while very capable, are just getting too big for me. I also recognize the M2 might be too big for others.

    2. Ride compliance - it handles rough roads so much more comfortably than a F87, this was important for me in my situation. The downside here is the extra weight to accomplish this.

    3. The vitrol and hate from some F series owners. I like the F series cars, I like the G8x, and I also like the E series cars. Liking the G87 isn’t a condemnation of the F series. I think you can like and respect both without being a dick.

    The sequence of shots from 10:38 - 11:01…

    I’m blown away here because it’s such a strong visual of BMW wizards keeping the chassis flat.

    I mean, you can see it catching its own weight then instantly settle down. The DHP on my G30 does the same and I geek at it every damn time. That much vehicle staying flat…can’t tell me there’s no sorcery involved!

    i fully concede is a better road car. i just dont feel its looks are good enough to justify 20k over the last gen comp.
