FIRST DRIVE: BMW M2 – 454bhp RWD Manual Coupe + Cayman GT4 & BMW 1M Comparison | Top Gear

The BMW M2 is the smallest, least expensive M car. Only, this new one isn’t really that small (44mm wider than the old one at the front, and 18mm wider at the rear) and it’s certainly not inexpensive at a whisker under £70k. It is, however, the only remaining mainstream manual M car in the UK – and the twin-turbo straight six’s power goes to the rear wheels only. So is BMW’s 454bhp, rear-drive, manual-optioned M4-lite a recipe for success? Well, we brought along the best-in-class – and an old-time favourite – for a stick-shift showdown. 00:00 - Intro 02:36 - BMW M2 09:50 - Porsche Cayman GT4 14:44 - BMW 1M 19:58 - Conclusion Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: WATCH MORE TOP GEAR: First Looks:   First Drives: American Tuned ft.
