PODCAST EP.50: JONNY LIEBERMAN ON THE NEW M3/M4, M2 CS AND MORE

EV Channels Review

Jonny Lieberman joins the BMWBLOG podcast to discuss his recent driving experiences, highlighting the M8 Gran Coupe, M3 Competition, and M2 CS. He praises the M8 Gran Coupe for its blend of power, neutral handling, and elegant design, considering it a mature alternative in its segment, though acknowledging its high price. The M3 Competition receives exceptional praise for its significant leap in performance over its predecessor, particularly its planted front end, immense torque, and engaging handling, even outperforming a 992 GT3 in some scenarios. Lieberman notes the M3's competition seats are uncomfortable for daily driving but superb for spirited use. He ranks the M2 CS as the best driving BMW ever made, surpassing even the Porsche GT4 in pure driving fun and completeness, despite its premium price tag. The discussion also touches on the controversial M3/M4 design, with Lieberman expressing strong disapproval, and explores the potential for electric drivetrains in BMW's M lineup.
