BMW's M2 remains an addictive track tool in second generation form. Jonathan Crouch drives it.

Ten Second Review

There won't be many more combustion-powered BMW M cars and the brand's second generation M2 brings that era to a close with a bang. It's unashamedly extrovert, politically incorrect and very fast. Choose one and in fifty years time, show your grandkids what they're missing.

Background

Is there any other car quite like the BMW M2? The Munich maker doesn't think so, claiming it to be 'in a segment of one' and most of the 60,000 enthusiasts who bought the original 'F87' 2015-era model would probably agree. For BMW, M used to be merely a performance badge; now increasingly, it's a sub-brand, with the current Mexican-built G87-era model these days the entry point to a widening portfolio of rocket-fast road racers. This G87 design first arrived in 2023, then was updated with a bit more power a year later. A limited-run CS model was sold in 2025. And an xDrive model joined the range in Summer 2026. With this second generation M2 design, all attempts at visual subtlety have been dispensed with; if you want that, we'd recommend a look at this variant's less frantic close cousin, the M240i. So what's in store here? Let's take a look.

Driving Experience

The G87-era M2 has always has the six-cylinder in-line BMW M TwinPower Turbo engine that enthusiasts expect, but since 2024, it's developed 480hp (rather than the 460hp figure offered at the original launch). The classic choice is to have this car with its usual rear-driven configuration, in which guise you can choose between manual or automatic transmission. There's also an auto-only xDrive version with the same engine. Whatever format you choose, it's fast the rear-drive auto demolishing the benchmark sprint in just 4.0s. The alternative 6-speed manual model has longer gear ratios that keep it at 4.2s, but its top speed of 177mph is higher (the rear-drive auto's limited to 155mph unless you pay extra for an optional M Drivers Package). The M2 xDrive manages 0-62mph in 3.7s. Possibly most significant with the 2024 powertrain update were the changes made to the S58 straight six engine's mapping for both transmission options, which were supposed to enhance mid-range punch. As with the original version of this G87-era model, the 600Nm torque figure of the auto versions falls to 550Nm with the manual. The switch to the cluster platform used by larger BMWs for this G87 model meant that pretty much all the engineering here could be borrowed from the M3 and M4. The downside of using a big car chassis comes with the inevitable increase in weight, but the engineers are adamant that the advantages of that outweigh the drawbacks. It really comes down to the kind of M2 you want. BMW freely admits that this model's pre-2023-era F87 predecessor was 'a bit more playful' (read as 'looser at the rear end'). This one's grown up a bit, though in rear-driven form, it can still drift and do all that tyre smoking stuff - plus it'll be faster than an F87 in lap time. Not least because it's more powerful than the previous generation model, the output figure being 110hp more than that of the old F87 M2 Competition and M2 CS models. To control all that grunt, there's an Active M differential allowing up to 100% of torque to be transferred to either of the rear wheels. In addition, unlike standard versions of the old F87 M2, there's adaptive damping. Along with punchy 6-piston brakes and a 10-step M traction control system. Track fiends even get an M drift analyser which rates the standard of their smoky slides.

Design and Build

There's nothing subtle about the wild, angular looks of this second generation M2. BMW says its designs are edging closer to the style of its race cars and this one's certainly got a degree of DTM to it thanks to an overt body kit with swollen wings, plus huge quad-exit exhausts in a GT-style rear diffuser and a unique front end with frameless kidney grilles said to be inspired by classic 02 series BMW coupes of the '60s and '70s. The track width is much wider than a standard 2 Series Coupe (49mm more at the front and 18mm more at the rear) and the car itself is 114mm longer than the pre-2022-era F87 generation M2 - and only 219mm shorter than an M4. Wheels are 19-inches at the front and 20-inches at the rear. Inside, there's a driver-focused dashboard, a smart flat-bottomed steering wheel and an OS 8.5 operating system for the 14.9-inch central touchscreen that combines with the 12.3-inch driver's display as part of one curved panel. Both monitor's have M2-bespoke graphics. Customers can individually option in BMW's carbon fibre-backed bucket seats. As usual with an M car, you can set your own performance preferences for the two red thumb paddles on the bespoke steering wheel for quick access to favoured drive, transmission, stability and suspension settings. As with an ordinary 2 Series Coupe, you get a couple of small back seats - and thanks to this G87 model's slightly lengthier 2,747mm wheelbase (compared to the old F87), there's slightly more legroom in the back. Plus you get the kind of decent 390-litre boot capacity that a 718 Cayman or A110 owner would envy. If you need space for longer items, the rear backrest also has a useful 40:20:40 split.

Market and Model

BMW wants around £72,000 for rear-driven versions of this second generation M2; which is about £22,000 more than the almost as fast 392hp M240i xDrive Coupe model. If an M2 it has to be, then you'll save just over £500 by opting for the auto version rather than the manual. Predictably, if you want the top M2 xDrive version (which from launch cost from just over £74,000) then you'll have to have an auto. That distinctive M car touch, a lightweight M Carbon roof, is standard as usual made out of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic. And there are Adaptive LED headlights with a BMW Selective Beam non-dazzling High beam Assistant. Also standard is a 3-zone climate control system, acoustic glazing for the windscreen, auto headlamps and wipers, ambient lighting and a Harmon Kardon surround sound system. The key option is to replace the standard M Sport seats with optional M Carbon bucket seats, which are fully electric and heated, come trimmed in Merino leather, can be fitted with a multi-point harness and feature integral head restraints and an illuminated model badge. Camera safety kit includes Front Collision Warning with brake intervention, Lane Departure Warning including lane return and a Speed Limit Display with no-overtaking indicator. More features are provided in an optional Driving Assistant pack.

Cost of Ownership

BMW quotes a combined fuel consumption return of up to 29.1mpg for the auto rear-driven M2 - but of course if you ever regularly get close to that, you shouldn't have bought an M2 in the first place. The rear-driven auto M2 CO2 reading is rated at up to 221g/km; that rises to 233g/km with the manual model. For the M2 xDrive, the readings are up to 27.4mpg and up to 233g/km. What else might you need to know? Well, routine maintenance is dictated by 'Condition Based Servicing' that monitors oil level and engine wear, taking into account how long it's been and how far the car has travelled since its previous garage visit. Like all M cars, this one needs a first running-in service at 1,200 miles. On to the warranty package. BMW offers a warranty that lasts for three years, no matter how many miles you complete. You can also insure your car through BMW, though as many M2s will be funded with company money through a lease deal, this brokerage fees are likely to be bundled into that.

Summary

Given that this M2 is basically these days very much an M4 in a different, sportier suit, there was no point in BMW's stylists merely copying that only slightly larger model's more conservative vibe - and they haven't. You'll either like or loathe the fact that aesthetic subtlety's been tossed out the window here but you can't deny that this second generation M2 certainly has more roadway presence this time round. No longer do we find ourselves questioning whether an M240i might not be a cleverer choice: this now feels like a different kind of car entirely. It has its own discrete niche. And we applaud the fact that BMW's retained a manual stick shift option, though ultimately the brand didn't manage to resist the temptation to add in xDrive 4WD. We're less keen on the larger platform's extra weight and the step up in price. Still, it's a proper driver's car, just as we'd hoped the M division's last ever pure combustion model might be. Enjoy it while you can.
