Which Bavarian bomblet sounds the best?

The comparison we saw already, of course, arrive from the time that BMW officially confirmed that there will be an M2 for me to come next to the M4 (driving test). The two gems of M GmbH sit in terms of specs close to each other. In fact, the M2 uses largely the same technology as the M4 for the chassis concerned. A corollary to this is that M2 is also practically the same weighs as the M4. That last is indeed 20 inches longer and 3 inches lower), but by the use of more carbon than the M2 is the DIN weight of just two kilograms higher. The weight 1.495 Kg is the largest kritiekpunt that many purists have the small M2.

Under the hood, we find in both cases a 3.0-litre six-in-line. Two benchmarks where the heart of the lover immediately a time skip. The engine in the M4, however, goes through life with the internal bouwcode S55B30, while the M2 engine not the ‘S’ should carry engines of M-products tend to carry. Instead, it has this block of code N55B30, which he shares with ‘lesser gods’ that ’35i’ or ’40i’ wear badges. The most striking technical difference is that the M4 can have two vacuum cleaners, and the M2 is only about one.

But, less vacuum cleaners, that means potentially more good vibrations in the air, or grasp this, yet different? In one corner, the original, the daddy, the yardstick, the M3 / M4. In the other corner, the challenger, the young gun, the upstart, the M2. Ready…Fight!
