Auto News For Thursday, February 18, 2016 – All The Best 2016 BMW M2 Reviews

2016 BMW M2 blue track
Here are the seven must-read, must-watch auto news stories and videos for Thursday, February 18, 2016.
EVO
evo magazine’s Jethro Bovingdon says, “There’s a lovely balance to the car with strong front end grip and then easy, progressive oversteer that belies its short wheelbase.”
ROAD & TRACK
R&T’s Sam Smith writes, “If you go solely by the cars that BMW currently sells, the M badge has come to mean big weight, distant steering, a competent electronics suite, and titanic horsepower. (Or, to be fair, a well-intentioned trim package.) This isn’t that. And it’s better for it.”

YAHOO AUTOS
Sadly, Yahoo Autos is set to end its run along with other Yahoo verticals in a couple months. In the meantime, Yahoo’s Abigail Bassett writes, “That is…until now. The 2016 M2 gives us Bimmer-brained fans something worth celebrating, and puts the joy back into a brand that has, for too long, poured out watered-down shots of the “ultimate driving machine.”
