It's hard to imagine BMW could improve on the original M2. But with the BMW M2 Competition, the German brand has done exactly that.
The new M2 Competition gets more M muscle, with a new twin-turbo engine and a bunch of chassis tweaks that make it even better than it already was.
A handful of welcome performance tweaks have pushed the new BMW M2 Competition to even greater heights.
The BMW M2 Pure is a bridge between the company's M past, and its future. Here we look at the MY18 post-LCI model fitted with a heap of go-fast extras, just because...
The new M2 Competition is a better car than its M2 predecessor, though not through any one component, including the new engine. Rather, it’s the sum of each and every component added and tweak made to the chassis itself that has produced a more precise, if not quicker, M-Car than that which it replaces. In the end, it's still the best M-Car under $150K that BMW builds...
This is the muscly new BMW M2 Competition, which will kick off in Australia from AU$99,900. That's a lot of money, but this is a lot of car.
We have received countless emails about three of the hottest sub-$100k performance cars on the market. So, we're going to finally settle it. Which is quicker around the track? We pit the BMW M2 against the Audi RS3 and Mercedes-AMG A45. We get former World Rally Car driver Chris Atkinson behind the wheel to set lap times and figure out which is quickest...
For the past 40 years, the letter M has signified something special beneath the blue and white BMW badge. And now, with the addition of the M2, BMW’s M-car range is at its most diverse ever – but what makes these tri-colour road warriors so special? Let’s take a closer look.
What’s the fastest performance car you can buy for under $100,000? That’s the question we keep getting asked over and over again. The number of contenders is rather varied and the argument remains that you can certainly buy a $50,000 car and spend another $50k to make it supercar fast, but ultimately, there are only three cars that have the credibility to make it to this test...
BMW M Motorsport has previewed a new 'entry-level' race car for 'grassroots motorsport' based on the M2 Competition. We've unofficially dubbed it as the 'M2 GT4', given the racing class' entry-level positioning in FIA competitions and the overall look of the track car, which doesn't appear too modified from the standard road-going version...
Photographers have snapped the upcoming BMW M2 CS once again, this time including shots of the track-focused coupe's interior. While the exterior remains hidden under camouflage, the Alcantara-heavy interior doesn't have much to hide. There's suede trim on the steering wheel, door cards, and on the dashboard. An Alcantara trim option for the seats is also likely...
The leanest, meanest BMW M2 has been snapped during testing, revealing its mean stance and subtle bodywork add-ons. It looks like the M2 CS will get a carbon-fibre bonnet with a pronounced bulge, along with mirror caps, a roof, and body additions made of the lightweight weave. The subtle boot lid spoiler will likely be made of carbon, as on the M3 CS...
BMW's hottest M2, the upcoming CS (or should that be CSL?), has been snapped during cold weather testing in Europe, offering a closer look at its pumped-up body. The new variant, which will sit above the M2 Competition in the range, is expected to offer 331kW when it launches later this year. That makes it around 30kW more powerful than the Comp, which itself is no slouch...
What even is an M2 Competition? Well, I’m glad you asked. The M2 already has a special place in every motorists’ heart, and when it was announced that the M2 would have a Competition model, every petrolhead for obvious reasons got very excited. For those who don’t know, the Competition badge has always been a way for BMW to fix and fine-tune the mistakes of the launch car, but this year it was different, very different...
