The new BMW_UK M2's arrival is on the horizon. Early impressions have been gathered, just not via conventional means 👀 This is M Mixed Reality... 👇
We tried the new car with the optional eight-speed automatic gearbox, which offers shifts that are punchy but not so aggressive that they make progress jerky. Indeed, they help cut the 0-62mph time from 4.1sec compared with the manual car’s 4.3sec.
Compared with the previous model, the new M2 is larger and heavier; in fact it’s just as wide as the longer M4. This enhances stability, as does a lightweight carbon fibre roof that lowers the car’s centre of gravity. But while the M2 stays impressively flat through bends, we’ll need more time with it to see if there’s a penalty to pay in terms of agility.Holding you in place through corners are sports seats that are aggressively bolstered, without being uncomfortable.
The interior also gets twin displays for both the driver’s display and infotainment screen. And while it’s a shame that these aren’t better integrated into the dashboard – they look tacked on – they do appear crisp and clear, even through the lenses of mixed reality goggles. What also looked crisp and clear was the digital track's dry Tarmac; a noticeable contrast with the real-world, wet conditions. This did result in the front end of the car sliding at times due to us entering corners too quickly for the conditions; BMW is exploring the possibility of different, virtual weather that matches whatever the reality is.When the new BMW M2 goes on sale, it will cost from £61,495.
