With our PhD M2 TA upgraded with full suspension from JRZ and @splparts, a new Active Autowerke Midpipe and Girodisc front brake rotors, we went out for testing at a new-to-us local track, Blackhawk Farms. It was super fun to push the M2 around this tight and twisty circuit!!

It's great to see Jackie continue to explore the limits of this car & show others what a great track weapon the G87 M2 can be. It's much more balanced & nimble than others might think. Wonder if the equal length (not the single mid-pipe) by AA might make it sound even better...

Has he shared specifics about his setup - like spring rate and brand with the JRZ and alignment settings? It's common for TA competitors and race shops who sell the setups to not share but thought I'd ask. I think I've seen most of his videos but don't recall if anything was mentioned.

Edit: He does go into detail about arm angle and bump steer so maybe he's open to sharing (or perhaps that bit of info is intended to promote SPL). Did he stay divorced in the rear or go true C/O with the JRZ?

I dunno why but unlike the M3-M4, the M2 looks like motorsport car. All those sharp angles work on it, its like some prototype where looks are secondary. Gonna become an iconic car I think.

True. As more people actually see it in motion you eventually get it. It's a utilitarian brute of a car. Like military equipment. Very purposeful especially in person. With the proper stance it must be respected. You see sharp angles but this car has the best hips on any BMW since the E30.

When I'm washing the rear bumper or loading the trunk, do I leer at dem hips? Yes, yes I do. Do I get distracted when I'm opening the gas cap? Sometimes.

Don't judge me.

Love his videos. Very relaxed feel, knowledgeable not pretentious, not yelling at the camera with a 4 minute monologue before showing great footage.
