Matt Maran Motoring review.

JustinHEMI · 06-12-2023, 10:00 PM

Doesn't tell us anything that we don't already know, but my car is the star.

Nice car Justin!!!

As for the review… “rear fenders” :P

Car looks fabulous. Solid review.

Dude did an epic grind on that first 1-2 shift.

Nice to wake up to this video! Very nice review! I've been following his videos and he knows what he is talking about. Right at the 4:30 mark, he mentions that he wishes there was a boost guage, but you can scroll through the right steering controls to view the boost guage and other options than just tire pressure.

He is right on point with the comparisons (Supra, Mustang, Lexus RC-F) and how this is one of the last manuals you can buy from BMW. He is honest with the way the car looks and how much more composed this car is compared to the last generation.

Good to finally see more quality reviews of this amazing car!

Yeah I forgot to tell him I have some of the options disabled and he had the car only 3 hours so didn't really have time to figure that out.

I honestly had forgot all about Matt Maran. Both of our Bullitts were within 10 serial numbers of each other. Had one of the first 100 built. I miss the sound of that car, but enjoyed the f87 that I traded it for a lot more.

The wheels are such a huge improvement!!

Ouch. I didn't recognize that painful sound until you mentioned it.

I agree. It's nice to see a more thorough review with someone who can articulate more of the strong points of the M2 that are probably overlooked by others.

I guess I’m the only person who hates Matt. Total shill, always follows a con with “but that’s okay because [insert whatever excuse because “racecar”]”. A car could not have a trunk and he would be like “yeah it doesn’t have trunk but that’s totally fine cause who buys a sports car for the trunk”.

Oh, and can’t forget when he started a go fund me for his viewers to buy his ecoboost, and then traded it in for a GT.
