I had to go to Greenville, SC and then Chattanooga, TN and then Atlanta and then back to Greenville and then home to Florida this week. This was about a 2000 mile trip. I drove up and back in our long term JCW Mini Cooper. Honestly, that is the first time I spent in the car. Pretty fast, nice handling and economical road trip car.
I was pretty impressed, until I got into the M2 that I borrowed from BMW when I got up there. I seriously want one of these cars. I have owned or at least spent time in every BMW M car, including the M1 and this is my favorite so far. Comfort on long trips of a 6 Series... performance that will just shatter the original M3... and handling... the Tail of the Dragon is like a straight interstate in this baby. I don't rave about new cars much, but once these are in the used car market, I will be having an M2! Full story soon in GRM, and yes, we spent time comparison testing the M2 against the M 235i and M4 at BMW's test track.
