Just surreal! Driving the BMW M2 manual & BMW XM on a track day

Some of the other cars that I drove include BMW M340i, X3M40i, M4 and M5.

BMW ///M Trackday

^ Lineup

The Activities for the day were as under;

^ With the best spec. M4;

Out of all the cars I drove (Some other cars I drove that day were M340i, X3M40i, M4 & M5) at the event I'd like to talk about 2, starting off with the new-gen G87 M2;

Firstly a big thumbs up to BMW India for launching one in a MANUAL

The overall driving experience of a 450 HP M/T was surreal. The clutch (though a bit hard) was very good. The shift quality was precise (a bit rubbery though) & engaging.

The car had phenomenal braking and body control;

Loved driving the M2 manual very much and if I hadn't picked the M340i then the M2 surely would have been bought by now.

The next car I want to talk about is the BMW XM;

Truly special interiors & build quality;

Interiors surely had the gravitas to match the Lamborghini or Aston Martin cabins.

Driving experience was fantastic too as the V8 (hybrid) producing 653 HP & 800 NM had brutal acceleration (for its weight);

Indeed worthy of being a special product launch for BMW for its 50th anniversary of the M brand.

F90 M5 was the fastest car at the event in a straight line;

G82 M4 impressed too;

This was a paid event & all the expenses (well worth) were borne by ///Myself.
