Criticism of the BMW M2 has been widespread and ferocious. When the first photographs were leaked online everyone pointed at their screens and yelled “It looks bloody dreadful and it weighs as much as Saturn”. I was one of them. On paper, the M2 is a dud – a car that has lost sight of its original intentions and sold its soul. In reality, it’s brilliant and I much prefer it to my old M2.
