Driving the M2 at the Nordschleife - Nürburgring

I usually don't post on this forum as I have a M3...

I visited the Nürburgring a few weeks ago for the first time. I decided to rent a prepared BMW M2 to break my Nürburgring virginity. Had a great experience and love the car.

Here's a lap with my instructor in the M2:

It was Big Garage. They're a small outfit at the Nurburgring.

I believe she is a professional driver from Russia.

She showed me the lines well but I didn't like that she was shifting for me. She kept upshifting when I wanted to accelerate out of corners. I guess she was being cautious.. she doesn't know me and didn't want me to wreck their new car.

Wait... she shifted for you? Why not just put it in auto?

As an aside this video captures the M2 interior sound quite well.
