The 2019 BMW M2 reaffirms BMW’s capability to come up with the ultimate driving machine. It has an attractive wide-body appearance and a high performance engine. It is a precision instrument for high-speed driving that commands attention with its elegance. On the other hand the 2019 Ford Mustang has all the standard features of a pony-car. It is attractive, has great performance and offers a variety of options for personalization. It has an expressive personality and enhanced performance.
Design & Style
The M2 dictates attention on the road with its elegant design. When it comes to the interior, the story is similar. Its classy cabin features premium materials and is well designed. Also, there is everything to love about the driver seat positioning and the logical setup of controls. It is simply amazing. The2019 BMW M2 offers enough legroom around both the front and rear seats. However, its cargo space is slightly less than that of its counterpart.
The interior quality of the Mustangs does not get any better than that of the 2019 Ford Mustang. Whilst featuring a well designed cabin, it continues to maintain its functionality and practicability. As much as it offers optional heated or cooled front seats, the cabin is made up of mediocre plastic and only the back-seat area is comfortable. However it gets bonus points for the cargo space it offers.
Technology & Safety
The 2019 BMW M2 comes with the iDrive infotainment system that has a great interface and is highly responsive. It features Apple CarPlay, the Harman Kardon stereo, two USB ports and SiriusXM subscription. The infotainment screen is well positioned, angling toward the driver over the dashboard. Available safety features on the M2 are lane departure warning, automatic high beam, automated emergency braking and forward collision warning.
The Ford’s Sync 3 infotainment system is found on the 2019 Ford Mustang. It has a simple interface and a clean design. However it is not as responsive as the iDrive infotainment system. It comes with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and a great stereo. Options are also available in a Wi-Fi hotspot and Ford Sync Connect that enables users to monitor and control their car on a Smartphone app. Available safety features include lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, lane keep assist, rear cross traffic alert and forward-collision warning.
Performance
The BMW continues to build amazing engines. This is evident on the 2019 BMW M2’s turbocharged mill that yields 405 horsepower. This engine is quite powerful and enables the M2 to accelerate with unrivalled excellence all the way to the 7600-rpm redline. The M2’s handling is so great that it feels like an extension of the driver. It offers vivaciously violent thrust and a visionary chassis. It gets a rating of 26mpg on the highway which is better than that of the Ford Mustang.
The 2019 Ford Mustang gets its inspiration from a 460 horsepower V-8 engine. This engine makes this Mustang quicker than the previous generations. It also offers the optional Performance Pack Level 2 which features track-ready equipment. The Ford Mustang has an independent rear suspension which is much better than the solid rear axle that was used in previous generations. This feature gives a much needed boost to bring the quality of this car to the 21st century. This car earns 24mpg on the highway.
The Bottom Line
The 2019 BMW M2 may not be as powerful as the 2019 Ford Mustang, but it is still powerful with 405 horsepower. It also has better fuel economy. In addition to that, it has a more stylish cabin that is fitted with premium materials and offers plenty of legroom. It is also commendable for its superior iDrive infotainment system and advanced safety features.
