The BMW M2 represents what the brand used to do best. It's a
focused machine that promises to provide its driver with an engaging, enjoyable
experience. It's not about blasting up to its top speed, but rather attacking a
local racing circuit or your favorite curvy canyon road. Still, if you do happen
to own a BMW M2 and you also happen to live near an unrestricted section of the
Autobahn, then why not see what the car is made of?
That's what one owner recently did, while shooting a video
focused on the tach and speedometer. The needle swings pretty easily up to 275
km/h which is 171 mph. That's a bit more than the 155 mph limit you might've
been expecting. Sure, the "average" M2 is limited to 155 mph, but this
owner spent more dough to get the optional BMW M Driver's package that,
according to BMWblog, takes the limit of the car up to 168 mph. Perhaps
this owner had a nice little tailwind or a slightly downhill section of road,
and thus was able to see that 171-mph mark.
After that portion of the video is done after a minute and
12 seconds, you can listen to the exhaust note of the car. Just don't stick
around for too long, though, as the rest of the rather lengthy
11-minute, 14-second video is the same rear shot of the car revving. It's like
a movie with 30 minutes of story and an hour and a half of credits. The
uploader does it so he can put more than one ad in his video and reap a few
more ad bucks. So click out after the top-speed run and you'll get what you
need from this clip.
