Sounds like a big deal until you realize that the 2021 Accord is 10" longer, 1" higher, and 2" wider than the 2021 3 series. It's not 2005 anymore and all cars have grown considerably.

That's what the M2 is for.
Only a matter of time before BMW starts pitching a new car based on the crap shoot 2 series Grand Coupe, with its garbage mini transverse engine layout, as the replacement for the old E90 M3. U mizz zee feeling of zee old M3, here try zis one on for sssiizzzzzee. U vill like the tranzverse layout. ve guarantee the "Ultimate driving machine" feeeling. |

Just look at BMW's record: Bad Fuel Pumps - Check Bad Coil Packs - Check Bad Throttle Body actuators - Check Bad VANOS - Check (Ohh shiz, VTEC just kicked yo momma's butt) Bad Rod Bearings - Check Bad Water Pumps - Check (can't believe Toyota went plastic too, WTF) Bad Crankhubs - Check You gotta wonder why people want a Lexus IS-F. Yes, a 4 door M2 variant would be fantastic to compete with the RS3. But it will leech sales from the M3 and that's BMW's bread and butter. On topic though, that bunny teeth nose is hideous. BMW can put all the splitters on it they want, it's still ugly. Anyone notice all the chassis bracing under the hood and underneath? Amazing how BMW is purposely trying to hide the girth of this car by touting front end feeling, and of course all the fanbois are "ohhh, ahh, it feels so good. It's the best since sliced bread." Then there are the clowns that are saying "This motor trumps the Toyota 2JZ." lolsss silly fanbois. |

Lots of high mileage F8x M3/M4 owners on the Bimmerpost forums without having much in the way of issues. Most of those issues listed date back to last decade and are not applicable to new models. It seems to me that Subaru has more issues with their new models than BMW does.

I've known many people who have owned E36 M3s (both back in the day and old/used ones) with both engines and I can't recall hearing anything egregious RE reliability. |

The smg trans however is a different story. It could crap out at 3k miles, 30k, 60k, 100k. It was Russian roulette with those trans. |

Hmm let's see
VANOS issue with my E46 ZHP at 30K Steering pump at 42K Rear Subframe would slam if you rowed gears too quick from 1st to 2nd (chirpping rear tires would be followed up with a huge BOOM in the back) Bad Xenons ballasts, this was a b***h. BMW never warranted them. Imagine a 45K car and you can't see at night but hey it's 330i ZHP. Bad fuel pump on the E92 (N54), Turbos replaced, Control arm bushings, steering thrust bearings (all under 40K) Check the forums about issues with the 4 cylinder turbo motors. Don't get me wrong, I am still tempted to pick up a F80 M3 in 6 speed trim. |

You can check the forums about how solid the F8x has been;

I might get back into an M2 within a few months (M2C this time). The Carbahn tune makes like 475-500whp on just a tune alone. I do think they recommend upgrading the heat exchanger which is like $700. Figure $2,500 to make 500whp in a rather small car and you have a serious street car.

I'm picking up an 21 M2C tomorrow (6 speed!!) and all my research has pointed to the S55 being very reliable too.
My daily is/was an 05 STi I bought new and it has been bulletproof on a Cobb Stage 2 93 octane off the shelf tune. I've been running the tune since 10K miles and it has 141K on it now. Sad to sell it but that M2C is, "WOW!" About tuning though, supposedly, only 2019's and early 2020 M2Cs can be "tuned". There's maybe a few plug in modules for it, but as of now, true tunes are out unless it's a 19 or early 2020. |
