BMW M2 – Review, Specs, Pricing, Features, Videos and More

The BMW M2 is the brand’s entry level sports coupe. It features 453 hp coming from a turbocharged inline-six engine. Unlike a lot of M cars, the M2 is not offered with all-wheel drive; it’s rear-wheel drive only for this little two-door. The M2 is also one of the few BMWs left that has a manual transmission option.

Arguably the most engaging car BMW currently makes, the M2 is an enthusiast’s favorite. Surprisingly, the rear seat is quite usable as well for passengers.

This is the end of an era.

The 2023 BMW M2 is the last M car that will come with a manual transmission. BMW hasn’t confirmed it yet, but this could be the last to launch without all-wheel drive, too. Thus, this should be the truest enthusiast model in the lineup, a back-to-basics coupe dropping a muscular powertrain in a tidy package with the driver central to the experience.

The result is something a little softer. The increased commonality between 2 and 3 Series results in the M2 being a nine-tenths scale M4. Depending on your view, that's either a step forward or back.

M’s smallest deserves a track to truly shine.

One of the best things in this job—or in life, really—is to be wrong. A mistake is a learning opportunity.

I didn’t love the 2023 BMW M2 when I drove it this past summer. Sure it was quick, but it was never as involving or as communicative as I’d hoped. Fast forward a few months and I’m once again behind that thick leather steering wheel.

Only this time there’s no third pedal tucked under it, and the regular seats have made way for those ridiculous thigh-spreader dealies.

The spicy new BMW M2 enters its second generation for model-year 2023, riding a new platform that’s longer, lower and wider than that of its predecessor.

With a wheelbase that’s 4.3 inches (109 millimeters) shorter than that of the BMW M4 but 2.1 inches (53 mm) longer than the previous-generation M2, drivers upgrading to the latest unit can expect a more stable ride and increased rear-seat legroom, too.

The BMW M2 is one of the most-searched sports cars in its segment. Below, we’re answering some of the internet’s most common search questions about it.

Located about a half-hour from Penticton, the Main Circuit at Area 27 Motorsports Park is a seamless ribbon of pavement curvaceously draped over rolling hillsides surrounded by open skies and fields and a 360-degree view of the mountainous BC horizon largely uncluttered by signage and guardrails and infrastructure.

Paved in a continuous pass, there aren’t even any seams in the asphalt—not on the half-mile straight, not on the 357 feet of elevation change per lap, and not on any of the 16 corners. One of those corners is a tricky double-apex deal (one apex is blind!) with a quick undulation separating the two and offering to rapidly lighten the rear of your car mid-corner to giggle-eliciting effect.
