MotoManTV – 2016 BMW M2 Review – Video

 

MotoMan drives the 2016 BMW M2 on Laguna Seca and yes, goes through the engineering that went into the 365 HP BMW N55 3.0 Turbo 6 cylinder engine, the herculean effort to keep it cool & reliable as well as the bits that affect the driving dynamics – but after lapping Laguna Seca multiple times in this spiritual successor to nostalgic BMWs of the past, the BMW M2 presents MotoMan with not only an unusual question of balance but what does it compete with ?
