New BMW M2: Faster, More Powerful, Better?

Check out the current & greatest EV handle Carwow:

State hi to the updated BMW M2!

The M2 has actually undergone a mid-life facelift, and Mat's ready to get up close & individual with it to see if it is a better choice than competitors like the AMG A45, Audi RS3 and Porsche Cayman. So let's enter into it!

When it concerns the design, the modifications to the last edition are … almost insignificant. In advance, there are upgraded matrix DRLs, and along the side, there are updated alloy wheels and black window surrounds as standard. Otherwise, absolutely nothing else has altered compared to the previous edition! However, that's no bad thing. It indicates the front end still has wide air intakes, while at the back, the quad (and genuine!) tailpipes have actually been kept.

On the within, the variety of modifications is similar to the exterior. The upholstery has been updated, and there's a new guiding wheel. Otherwise, the cabin is mainly the same as before. It implies there are soft-touch products throughout, the carbon bucket seats are still fantastic to being in, and the digital dials and infotainment system are clear and simple to utilize.

Under the bonnet, the M2 still keeps the exact same S58 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six as found in the BMW M4. Nevertheless, power has increased by 20hp to 480hp, and the torque has increased from 550Nm to 600Nm (unless you choose the manual gearbox, in which case it stays at 550Nm).

The brand-new M2 rolls up with a pretty large cost – ₤ 68,795! Fortunately is you can save practically ₤ 7,000 off one through Carwow, however are competitors from Audi, AMG or Porsche a better choice? Stick with Mat to see for yourself!

      I’ve owned many cars 2024 m4 competition Xdrive, 2019 Corvette grand sport, 2014 Ford Raptor, as of late… My 2025 M2 with the manual transmission is my all time favorite car. Y’all can sit there and read a spec sheet and talk about pricing but it doesn’t matter until you get in the driver’s seat and drive these things. Last I checked, there is no better car in this category for this level of performance at the price. The fact a manual transmission as option alone is something that should be appreciated.

    I really didn’t get the design of this car when it first launched, now I absolutely love it. It’s so unapologetically ‘boxy and brash, yet somehow ‘still looks smart. A European take on an American muscle car, thats the best way I could describe the design of the current M2 , … .

    1. @Jeroenneman Avatar

      Really? Every time I see one, all I can think of is that they should’ve just gotten an M3. The 2 series is just “not it” no matter how much horsepower or spoilers they throw at it.

      It’s like the young night pharmacists driving their Mercedes A-class AMG’s. Just not it.
