BMW M2 (2nd Generation)
The BMW M2 is a high-performance version of the BMW 2 Series automobile developed by BMW’s motorsport division, BMW M GmbH. As the 2 Series replaced the 1 Series coupé and convertible models, the first-generation M2 was marketed as the most basic M model in the range.
II Generation (G87)
The second-generation M2 (G87) was shown to the public at Motorclassica in Melbourne, Australia, in October 2022. The second-generation M2’s wheelbase is 2.1 in (53 mm) longer, its overall length is 4.1 in (100 mm) longer, and it is 1.3 in (33 mm) wider than that of the first-generation M2. The car was launched in April 2023.
The M2 is powered by the twin-turbo 3.0-liter BMW S58 straight-six engine, which was rated at launch at 454 HP (338 kW) at 6,250 rpm and 550 N⋅m (56.1 kg⋅m; 406 lb⋅ft) from 2,600 to 5,950 rpm. It is available with a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission. For the 2025 model year, the times are 4.2 seconds for manual models and 4.0 seconds for automatic models. Top speed is limited to 250 km/h (155 mph) but can be raised to 285 km/h (177 mph) with the optional M Driver’s Package.
The BMW M2 received a minor refresh for the 2025 model year. The M2 received a 20 HP (15 kW) increase in power, to 473 HP (353 kW), and an increase in torque of 49 N⋅m (36.1 lb⋅ft) to 599 N⋅m (442 lb⋅ft), the same as the G82 M4, but this applies only to vehicles equipped with the eight-speed automatic. Minor interior updates include a flat-bottomed leather-wrapped steering wheel with a red center stripe and other minor differences. The M Sport seats have a new black-and-red option, and carbon-fiber bucket seats are now available as a standalone option or as part of the Carbon Package.
