- Can you hear me?
Mic check?
How's this sound?
Okay. Great.
Did you know BMW also owns Mini Cooper and
Rolls Royce?
That's like if Taco Bell owned McDonald's and Red Robin.
Think about that for a minute,
and let it marinate.
BMW's Motorsport division called M,
for Motorsport. (beeping tone)
So this first M car to the public in 1978
Which is the same year Ashton Kutcher was born.
He was in That '70s Show, and that one was
created in the '70s, I... (mumbles)
M cars are known for their racing heritage paired with
their sleek looks.
They're also known for their owners
that can't seem to figure out where the turn signal is.
(slow applause)
The BMW M2 replaced the BMW M1.
BMW is really good at naming cars.
One,
two,
three,
four,
five,
Six.
Hey B-mer, if you need help naming the M7 series,
I, I don't know, I'll do it.
The M2 was unveiled in 2015, "Need For Speed,
no Limits."
This is perfect because a bunch of 12 and 13 year-olds
were waiting for the announcement
so they could buy a $52,000 sports car.
(laughs)
Did they? I don't...
Speaking of which, with 52 (beep) thousand dollars,
you could get 17,391 Chalupa Supremes from Taco and Bell.
Is it possible that BMW stands for Big Money Wasted?
(ominous music)
Today we sit down with the owner and have a
good old chat. Driver... (toilet flushes)
to driver!
(jazz music)
All right, I need you to sit right in front of here
for your intro, sit down right there.
- Yap.
- Okay. Perfect. Now... All right, that's good.
You can get up. - What the hell?
(laughs)
What just happened? - Okay. Now- (beep)
- (growling) Welcome back to (indistinct)
Driver, season... (bangs table) Two! (laughs)
Know what I'm saying? All right.
Welcome back.
We have a very special guest with us today.
He drives BMW. We have Larp. Larp... Larping.
Lars! Get on, get on over here, sitting real nice.
What do you think of that chair?
- Oh. - No, that's not very nice.
The chair.
- You like it? - Yeah, I like it.
- All right, good.
You know what I'm saying?
(beep)
- Before we start here, don't forget-
Wheels, tires, suspension. (items scrambling, metallic thud)
fitmentindustries.com. - (metallic thud)
- You can smack it. I, sometimes, I'm a
good host, so I'll let you smack it.
I need to undo the buttons, so...
We also have a giveaway going on Rotiform Rims,
if you want Rotiform Rims you can pick up a hat
or some T-shirts. Again, in order to win
you win a rim or wheel, pretty good deal! (beep)
As I beat around the bush... How much did you pay
for that Blue Macho Waffle? - That's a "BMW."
- Sixty... Thousand?
- $60,000.
That's a lot of money for...
BMW, you know what I'm saying? I mean,
they're pretty pricey, but word on the street is
maybe you've been doing a little bit of
lease action, you know? - yeah.
Yeah, it makes, it's a lot more affordable when
you don't actually buy it. - Right, right.
That, which is fair. That's a valid point.
But, does the dealership know you're tracking their car?
- Not, not yet. - Not- Oh! I'll call 'em.
- Please don't. - I'll do it!
- How- I can't warranty things if they
know I'm on the track, so. - That's true. That's true.
All right. I'm gonna give them a call though.
- Oh god. - Alrighty, let's see here.
(funky music begins) - I gotta call BMW...
You hang tight, alright? - That can't be good.
- No, it's alright, don't worry. (funky music continues)
- Can we, can we do this later?
- Yeah... Well, we're here now.
All right. Let's just see. Maybe they won't even
pick up! They, you'll get lucky.
- Hello, and thank you for calling
BMW San Antonio. A principle auto dealership.
Please listen carefully to the following options.
If you know your party's extension,
you may dial it now. - Do you know the extension?
- I don't. - Department, please dial one.
- Oh, we'll do one!
This is the first one Let's hang tight, buddy.
We'll get somebody.
(phone ringing)
- They better pick up.
Or I'm gonna be pissed - That's gonna be
awkward, if they don't. - I know!
You'll be happy, but I'll be pissed.
(beep)
What, are they on lunch break?
(laughs)
- Your messages may be taken for this mailbox.
Thank you for calling. - They just hung up on me!
I'm trying another option.
I wanna talk to them.
I'm gonna tell them what you do! (static)
What number you think we should pick, Lars?
One, two, three, four, or five?
- Five. - Okay!
We're calling. (laughs)
- Oh god! - ...Transfer your call.
(phone ringing)
- It- someone will pick up here, I don't
know if anyone's working there.
- Dude, what the hell?
Why are none of them picking up?
- Hello, and thank you for calling BMW San Antonio,
a principal auto dealership. - I'll try the service
department. - Please listen carefully
to the following options. (phone ringing)
- Alright, this one's gonna pick up, I can feel it.
- [Linda] Thank you for calling BMW San Antonio,
this is Linda speaking, how can I assist you?
- Hi Linda, I just wanted to make sure that
you knew that Larp is tracking his M2.
- You want to... See the... What is?
- I mean, I just want you to realize
how much he's risking there.
It would be like,
17,391 Chalupa Supremes if he crashed it.
- [Linda] Okay. Give me a moment, please.
- Sure.
(garbled hold music)
This ain't good.
They put you on-- - 17,000?
- Yeah, I know.
They got good music, you hear that?
(chuckles) (hold music gets louder)
- [Valerie] Hi, this is Valerie,
how can I help you? - Hi, just wanted to make sure
that you know that Larp's tracking his M2
and that you guys are all good with that.
- [Valerie] Say that one more time please.
- Larp- Lars, sorry that, these, he's tracking
the M2. I just wanted to make sure
everything's all good, you guys know,
then we're, we're squared away.
- [Valerie] I'm sorry sir.
I don't understand what you're saying.
- I appreciate it.
Have a good night. - Approved?
- Approved. You're lucky this time, Larp.
- Whew.
- Alrighty. (beep)
- So what made you go with the M&M 2?
Was it the Long Beach blue color, or
did you, dying your hair make owning a BMW
a priority? - Oh, well actually,
I was test driving M3s.
(fart noise)
- Mm-hmm. - And, I just liked
the M2 better, I guess.
- So you're just throwing massive shade
at the M3, huh? - Yeah.
Thought it was trash. - Pretty trash?
- Garbage. (laughs)
- Wh- why?
Okay, so what do you like more
about the M2 than the M3?
- The M2, it, it just feels more alive,
it has character.
I, when I test drove it
it startled burbling at me leaving the
parking lot. Like a factor car, with burbles.
- A burble? I have factory burbles.
- Do you? (burps)
(laughs) - You like me?
- That's what the car did, that's
why I love it. (laughs)
- Alright! so I got a little more serious
question, this is gonna get a little more
technical, this is a first time driver to driver,
but... I need to see if you can identify this image.
You have any clue what that is?
Figure it out, you're a smart guy.
You can do it.
Check it out... - Is this...
Is this in the engine? - No. No, brother.
It's in the car! - Cruise control?
- I'm pretty sure BMWs have 'em, but
people just miss them a lot!
- Cruise control. - Kind of.
It's, it's a blinker, Lars.
(Lars laughs)
It's a turn signal. - That's awkward.
- Y- yeah, I mean, it makes sense, but uh...
That's enough out of me! Let's hear from our
extremely cool, and loyal YouTube community!
(synth intro music)
- You ready for this?
Some of these people are mean.
- I'm, I think I'm ready.
- Okay. Tom Bull seems to know you,
he asks, "What's worse, being a lease queen or
the massive depreciation?"
(chuckles)
- The depreciation hurts. I'm not gonna lie.
- Yeah. Yeah, well- - That's a lot of-
- Maybe the lease is worth it. What- what would-
Advice would you give to someone thinking about
either buying or leasing a car?
- Figure out how long you wanna keep it.
If you, if you wanna keep a car forever,
you probably shouldn't lease it.
- Yeah, probably not.
(laughs)
- If you just want it for a couple years,
leasing's a great option. You save a ton of money.
- Gotcha. You gotta be kinda careful with the
modifications though, you know?
- Wheels, tires, suspension.
- Fitmentindustries.com. Definitely not Emma
wants to know, "Does it qualify itself as a
comfortable daily driver or in general how
practical is it to live with, for a two door?"
(buzzing) - It's actually huge.
it looks like a small car- - Yeah.
- Like, in pictures and stuff.
But it's the same size as, like, a five series
from, you know, eight, nine, 10 years ago.
- Damn! - The trunk is massive,
the backseats fold down, you can- you can
drive in the back seat for three, four
hours at a time, it's shockingly comfortable.
- Wow! - I'm, I'm impressed.
- Would you daily it? - I do daily it.
- I've heard that the M2 is kinda like,
I mean, it's a track car, and you just like-
- You don't get adapted suspension, but
if you're not- if you're not old, you don't have
a bad back or anything, it's fine!
It's fine. I daily it. - Okay! That's fair.
Matthew Chang is very curious and asks,
"What's like driving the slowest M car?"
That one was a little... - I wouldn't know,
I don't have it. - Oh! Okay!
- What's the slowest M car? Yeah, I
put you on the spot, you weren't ready for that one.
- Alright, you got me. - M2.
- Danny_r27 asks, "What's it, not-" or
"What's it like not having hydraulic steering? Must suck."
- Feels pretty great to me.
- You like it electronics?
I think it's... Fine, like, I don't-
I don't know what to compare it to, I guess. The-
- I got something. Like, what about when we had
that stem racer? - Hmmh.
It's better than that. - Is it? I feel like
it's like, the same. - It's not.
- No? Okay. That's good. - Nope.
No, it feels good! I like it. - Do you prefer it?
- Yeah... - All right. (beep)
- Christopher Mullins isn't worried about B-mers
and asks, "Who would win in a drag race,
Dakota's ST or Sean's PT?"
- I'm kinda thinking the PT.
- All right Larp, this interview can go one
of two ways. We can do it the easy way, or
the hard way. - Mm-hmm...
- All right? PT cruiser won't beat me.
(high pitched) I think it might!
- Okay. Listen up, electronic control.
Onii-chan asks, "Does it actually feel more
tossable than an M3 or an M4?"
- Oh, absolutely.
The whole car feels... Small, and nimble.
Like, the M3s- - You just throw it?
- Yeah. You pick it up, and...
- Yeah? - Yeah.
But yeah. It feels smaller, it's very noticeable.
I drove, like you said, I drove the M3-
(can cracks) And then I just happened to drive
the M2, and back to back, it's so noticeable.
It feels smaller and lighter, even though it isn't.
- Yeah, you said it's a big (fart noise)
All right. Miles Westfal has a tough one, asks
"Has anyone really ever been far as decided to
use even go want to do look more like?"
(laughing) - Pardon?
- Alright, that's enough out of the YouTube community.
How's the BMW community?
You guys all go golfing
and decide what you're gonna lease next, or?
- They're a little funny.
Nobody likes to modify their things-
- Why? - It's like,
two extremes. You have the guys who like,
bag factory sports cars.
- Yeah. - And make 'em useless.
- Yeah. - And then you have the
guys who buy spacers and tints,
and say it's modified.
- What's wrong with bagging cars, Lars?
- Bags are for groceries.
- No! Bags can go on the track too!
- You gonna track the ST?
- I could. - Wanna come with me?
- Yeah. - October?
- Yeah. - All right.
- PT's gonna gap it, though. Remember,
remember when you said that? - We'll bring the PT,
and the ST. And we'll race down the track!
- All right! - And the M2?
We'll see who wins.
- All right, so. What do you all
have done to that rental car?
(laughs)
- I have the HRE Full Form wheels,
Michelin for cup to connect tires.
- Those ain't cheap. - Those are amazing.
Would recommend. - Yeah. They're fancy.
- And carbon spoiler. That's really it.
- That's it? You're lying to me? Cause I'll
call up BMW San Antonio again.
I think you have more done! - There's an exhaust.
Really loud pipes. - Oh, boy!
(slam) There it is! you should bag it, though.
- BMW doesn't have to know any of that, though.
Cause it'll be stock when they see it.
- Oh, okay. Well. Unless they watch the video (beep)
What issues have you had with it?
- The exhaust? Broke
something, temporarily?
Or the SOS light was on?
And then, I
pressed the button, and it turns out it wasn't broken?
'Cause it called the cops on me?
- Wait- wh- Back it up. Back it up, Terry.
You put an exhaust on, turned the light on,
(loud beep) you push the button,
- Mm-hmm? - Light went away.
- After it called the cops.
- Or you pushed the button, and it called the cops?
- I pushed the button, and
emergency services were called.
(laughing)
- So you have an on star in the BMW M2?
- Yeah. Roadside assistance.
- What button were you pressing that calls the cops?
- The SOS button! It said it was broken,
and so I pressed it, and it wasn't broken.
- So the cops came to your house?
- No, but BMW called me, and asked
if I, like, died,
and then I told them, "No, everything's fine,
I just pressed the button," and they called the cops.
- When I called them, they didn't ask
if I had died! - Sorry.
- Man, what the hell! So they...
Wait, did the cops show up though, actually?
- No! They canceled it.
- Oh. Oh, well, that's good.
- Yeah. But they did call and
like, they were on their way, and BMW
had to call them back, and say "No, he's fine."
- So is this button, I don't even know where
this button is, is it like, easily pressed? Or--
- No, it's, so that's the thing, like
at first, there's- It's like, up here.
And you press it, and it flips down.
And then you press it again, and
that's when they, they call you.
- Got you. So you put the exhaust on,
you get in, you're like, oh, wow, it sounds pretty-
Oh! I better hit the SOS button!
Okay. - Pretty much.
- What advice do you have for someone
who wants to buy
a 70,000 Chalupa Supremes
BMW M2.
- You should definitely buy one.
- Or lease it.
- Or lease it!
If you wanna save money. Or buy mine
when I give it back, after the lease.
Because it'll be like new, and it's
been garage kept its entire life.
- You're gonna sell it right away?
You're not keepin' it? - I don't know.
- You don't like it? - I love it.
- Call the cops on you!
- Someone's been abusing it really hard.
- Who? Cops? - Me.
- You did? - Yeah. Unless you're
trying to buy it right now, in which case,
if you're watching this two years from now,
it's been garage kept its entire life.
- You're really sending mixed signals
here, Lars. You know what I'm saying?
- It's just a fun car. - Alright.
I'm gonna go push that SOS button,
see if we can get the cops over here. (beep)
(indistinct, along with loud saxophone) Ramps it up!
Thanks to Larpin, uh, Lars, for lettin' us
poke some fun at his M&M 2 car, uh, wheels, tire suspension,
(metallic thud) fitmentindustries.com.
But don't forget, Lars, this is season two,
so you know what you get? - What do I get?
- You get parting gift for being on the show.
- Really? - Yeah!
This ain't just your, I'm a good host.
- This is exciting. - I'm a good host.
- You're great host. - I know, thank you.
- All right.
(jazz beats)
Do I get wheels, tires? What-
- All right, so, we've have Jack- Jeff Gordon
XS racing,
and I don't know...
Do you know what kind of car is on there?
I mean, it's your gift. - That...
What? What the hell is that?
- That's races, so that way you
won't have to race the dealership's car,
you can just race the- the cars in the game.
And, I won't, I don't gotta call.
- This cost you $90? - Yeah.
Probably. - Thank you!
(mumbles)
- I know. - Thank you.
- Yeah, just give it back when you're done.
- Oh.
- I mean, it's a gift. You can have it, but.
When you're done using it, give it back.
- I'm gonna keep this. - All right.
Well- - Wait, this is used.
- Nah, your BMW's used.
(laughs)
Something wrong with that? - Ouch.
- Let's have a good night.
(jazz swells)
- I'm gonna leave now. - See ya.
Hey, give that back. (chuckles) That's part of the show.
