Engines and Performance
Featuring BMW's straight-six 3.0-litre petrol engine, the BMW M2 offers instantaneous power and characteristics that really stand out.
Producing 473bhp, the engine dominates the driving experience, taking the BMW M2 to 62mph from rest in just 4.0 seconds when paired with the 8-speed M Steptronic sport transmission (4.2 seconds on manual variants).
Both transmissions have driver pleasure at their core, with the automatic transmission offering ultra-fast shift times and various shift modes, while the manual transmission offers an experience that is more of a classic mould.
When out on track, or on a quiet stretch of road, drivers are able to witness the M2 in its purest form and enjoy the rich soundtrack produced by the M-specific exhaust system.

BMW M cars are famed for their dynamic drive and unrivalled handling, and the M2 Coupé is no different. Various features are in place in order to keep the car planted to the road, giving the driver maximum control.
Compact dimensions and near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution ensure the chassis delivers controlled and agile handling, while supportive sports seats keep your body in its optimal position.
