2016 M2 takes on the M4

louielouie · 04-11-2016, 06:06 PM

MotorTrend just dropped this today

Pretty cheesy, but a decent watch.

2 Series platform.

Nice!!

I like their videos

Awesome!

Thanks for the link. Very entertaining.

Outrun · 04-11-2016, 09:21 PM

So they seriously put in a crooked driver's seat to save costs?

pz619 · 04-11-2016, 10:03 PM

Ummm. I never checked the driver seat. First thing I'm checking tomorrow morning. Never noticed!

I seriously can't believe it either. That's incredibly janky for any car, let alone an M

Slight misalignment of driver's seat position with pedals is a common complaint among 2-Series drivers. I seem to have adapted to it and it doesn't bother me but it might if I were driving a manual.

Good video, thanks for posting.

Can't say I've ever noticed it (manual)

mattc1176 · 04-14-2016, 02:25 PM

I guess that's why I always seem to park crooked when I feel I'm in straight!

Wait, is it crooked in all 2s or just the M2?

I have trouble too! It's so weird

I think it's all 2's...

Milkee_0923 · 04-15-2016, 10:49 PM

I never noticed. Hasn't bothered me while driving a manual. Ignorance is bliss.

tenfour · 04-16-2016, 02:14 AM

Manual here too and never even noticed.

Never noticed either and I don't really care. It's not that noticable but thought the parking thing was funny

EternalVendetta · 04-18-2016, 01:11 PM

I have a manual and I've noticed it, particularly when I inflate the side bolsters enough so that they hug me snugly. It's just a minor annoyance.

delvec03 · 04-18-2016, 03:05 PM

what's with the flickering lights?

It's the camera. Happens anytime you film a BMW and other cars with like LEDs. Even with capture frame rates at 60fps, it still flickers.

BillD1953 · 04-18-2016, 09:47 PM

2016 228i 6MT...never noticed the seat if there "is" anything to notice.

jaboyd · 04-19-2016, 04:38 PM

I could never figure out why I felt that the driving position wasnt perfect.....now I understand why. That little offset is annoying.
