The OG BMW M2 with a manual gearbox proves once again why it’s considered a modern classic. On a busy weekend at the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife, this green N55-powered M2 heads out for not one, but two laps after the first was swallowed by traffic and yellow flags. With stock power, a decat, aggressive 4.5° front camber, square 265 setup on semi-slicks and upgraded brake pads, the car delivers sharp front-end grip, playful rear balance and pure mechanical feedback that only a manual BMW can offer. No crazy power figures. Just balance, precision and driver engagement.

The second lap turns into an unexpected M2 chase, showcasing respectful, clean driving and proper Ring etiquette even in heavy traffic. Despite coolant spills, constant yellows and packed sessions, the OG M2 feels alive, communicative and confidence-inspiring. This is proof that you don’t need a Competition badge or massive horsepower numbers to have an epic Nordschleife experience. Sometimes, less power and three pedals are exactly what make a car legendary. For more content like this one follow us also on Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram!
