Whatever that car at the very edge of the picture on the left. That one.

Sam > Jonathan Harper

Kinja'd!!!

I will say the M2 has less of a reputation for self-immolation, however.

StoneCold > Jonathan Harper

Long term: M2

One night stand: GT3

M2 Because the simplicity of old cars is something I really like.

M2.

Pls. Cut me in half and put each of my halves in the two cars....

I'm sorry but what the heck is a M2? Is it like a 2002 something extra or is it a turbo?

Jonathan Harper > Brian Silvestro
09/24/2014 at 23:04

Panamera?

Jonathan Harper > Sam
09/24/2014 at 23:05

This is a new-engine'd GT3, supposedly less fiery.

Jonathan Harper > ly2v8-Brian
09/24/2014 at 23:06

Amen.

Sam > Jonathan Harper
09/24/2014 at 23:06

I'd still pack a fire extinguisher or two, just to be safe.

Jonathan Harper > 1337HPMustang

It's a 1974 2002tii with the motor from an E30 M3 swapped in and a bunch of other upgrades. It's amazink.

Jonathan Harper > Sam
09/24/2014 at 23:07

It comes with a fire extinguisher.

that watermark is abrasive; why does not it blend cleaner in to the photo? It is a HUGE black square; really draws the eye away from the photograph.

Raphmoe > Jonathan Harper
09/24/2014 at 23:19

GT3; the M2 is not a real car.

Jonathan Harper > Raphmoe
09/24/2014 at 23:23

If you want to pay me for the photo I'd be happy to remove the watermark for you.

Jonathan Harper > Raphmoe
09/24/2014 at 23:24

It's real, and it's right in front of you.

Raphmoe > Jonathan Harper
09/24/2014 at 23:25

do you not realize you can have a clean watermark that is still a watermark without ruining the photograph? get rid of that huge black square, it's silly and stupid.

Raphmoe > Jonathan Harper
09/24/2014 at 23:26

how do you define real?

Conan > Jonathan Harper
09/24/2014 at 23:30

M2 is a manual.

Jonathan Harper > Raphmoe
09/24/2014 at 23:33

Do you realize the point of a watermark has nothing to do with the pleasure of the viewer?

I don't see you doling out high quality car-porn on a daily basis, so GTFAC.

Jonathan Harper > Raphmoe
09/24/2014 at 23:34

The car exists, and the owner dubbed it an "M2". Which I'm fine with, and I work for BMW.

Jonathan Harper > Conan
09/24/2014 at 23:35

But of course.

Raphmoe > Jonathan Harper
09/25/2014 at 00:14

huh? what is GTFAC, you are confusing.

Raphmoe > Jonathan Harper
09/25/2014 at 00:15

o, i did not know that BMW made the M2, my apologies i am working hard to learn about cars and be an automotive journalist. What are the specs of the M2? This is the first i have ever heard of it. Thank you for the helpful information.

Manuél Ferrari > Jonathan Harper
09/25/2014 at 01:30

GT3

I know it's not manual and I know it's not classic

But it's the superior car

Too many M's > Jonathan Harper
09/25/2014 at 01:46

M2, because I'm a Neanderthal and like three pedals.

Brian Silvestro > Jonathan Harper
09/25/2014 at 06:07

Oh....

nevermind

Jonathan Harper > Raphmoe
09/25/2014 at 08:10

BMW never made it, it's an engine swap. If you're trying to be a journalist, start with good grammar and spelling, and don't be so severe. Telling me the M2 doesn't exist simply because you've never heard of it isn't very journalistic.

you must be new to Jalopnik, being severe is what gets people noticed in their articles. I am working on my grammar and spelling but, again, I read articles on Jalopnik and mirror, their use of sentence structures. i said it is not a real car because it is not actually manufactured by BMW. Yes, it 'exists' because somebody called it that. That does not make it an actual M2 from BMW; which does not exist.

Raphmoe > Jonathan Harper
09/25/2014 at 08:28

that is disgusting. i am just trying to learn about cars here.

Jonathan Harper > Raphmoe
09/25/2014 at 08:42

No, you must be new to Jalopnik. Severity is not what gets you noticed, good writing and a good story will. Seriously could you be any more condescending? Try to take a more moderate approach to your interactions with other folks here and you'll have a much better time. I've been commenting and subsequently contributing here since 2007.

Jonathan Harper > Raphmoe
09/25/2014 at 08:44

lol ok, it's a joke that originated here, but I'll let you get back to your "research" young one.

Raphmoe > Jonathan Harper
09/25/2014 at 08:44

wow, you are mean. Thank you for the advice, though.

Raphmoe > Jonathan Harper
09/25/2014 at 08:45

i can not imagine any scenario where that act with a camel is "funny" or a "joke"; how did it originate?

Jonathan Harper > Raphmoe
09/25/2014 at 08:47

I'm not trying to be mean, just trying to help you understand what this place is really about, and how to use it.

Jonathan Harper > Raphmoe
09/25/2014 at 08:50

Eh you prob wouldn't find it funny then

Raphmoe > Jonathan Harper
09/25/2014 at 08:52

i appreciate that you want to help teach me about this place. i was slightly offended that you thought I was condescending, that was not my intent. I have seen people say "you must be new here" before and thought that it was an acceptable way to respond to people. hopefully we can continue to discuss cars and car porn together as i become more of a jalop. cheers, friend

Oh cmon, this decision pretty much makes up itself....

(also, which one did you pick?)

Well I still haven't driven the GT3...so probably that.
