I finally got my M2C out yesterday on the track yesterday at Mosport.I only did 3 sessions as I was also instructing.Overall I am quite impressed with this package on the track which I will list.

Power is very comparable to my old M4 147 Mph vs 151 Mph of the M4 which was probably being run deeper into the braking zone

Handling is quite neutral with very moderate understeer in the 4th gear corners.This is preferred at a fast track like Mosport.

I suffered green fade 1st session out after about 5 laps but once they cooled they were rock solid the rest of the day.Mosport is relatively easy on brakes so I will do a proper pad setup for next year.There was some uneven pad deposits on the rotors so these stock pads are not great for the track.

Fuel tank is way too small with the fuel light coming on after about 40 minutes track time.MyM4 would go 50-55 minutes before refueling.

I think with a proper track tire set and track pads this will be the most enjoyable car to track.

I agree that the tank is too small!! This car can burn fuel very fast at the track. Ended up putting in 6 gal of 100 octane unleaded to finish out the day.

My pads felt soft until I bedded them in for a couple hot/cool cycles at the track. Still, we couldn't go wrong with a dedicated track pad.

The one thing that I forgot to mention is how much better the M2C is damped than my M4 was that had adaptive dampers.Mosport is quite rough in spots and the M2 is much better behaved over these than my M4 was.

Good info!!

Been my biggest gripe about the car...13gal tank.

It's only worse when tuned !

I haven't been overly impressed with the BMW adaptive dampers. While they may provide a better ride at times, I don't think they are that smart. They tighten up too much sometimes and not enough other times.

I am in love with the dampers on my new M2C. The ride is supple, controlled and refined.

The one other point of concern that I forgot is that the windsheild wipers were lifting and smeared above 200kph(124 mph) in the rain showers that we got during my first 2 sessions.It was not really raining enough to make the track slower in the 8c temps.

A short video from the day shot by my student in very cold (8c)and damp conditions.

Can you teach your student to hold the camera sideways instead of vertical please?

Thanks for the video. Great to see the M2C performing well on damp conditions. In Malaysia we won't be getting our hands on the car until next year I think. I'm looking forward to driving it on Sepang

Damn! I thought we had it bad. Our first batch just arrived, waiting for transport department approval here in Hong Kong.

Better than nothing at this point.I will have better setup videos for next season.

The official launch was supposed to be this month but it's been postponed with no firm date in sight. In Sept I was told I could place an order and get the car by Nov/Dec. Someone in BMW Malaysia was smoking some good stuff.

Anyway I didn't want a year-end car so I'm getting an E90 M3 first and saving the M2C for next year.
