It’s fast and can tow a good payload, with a 320-mile range, It’s a nice drive, however, the downfall is you always have to calculate the miles, to make sure you have a charging station to get to and of course the beautiful price sticker of 80k.

He contributes to U.S. News & World Report, CarGurus, and Forbes Wheels. George test-drove the 2023 BMW M2. He said, “It’s a little awkward getting into the car, especially if you’re a ‘big’ guy.” The sides of the seat ‘box you in’ and the floor has a raised middle to which your legs fit snugly into. This helps eliminate movement when going around corners. Its power and lightning-quick response, make this coupe smooth and refined.
