BMW M2:
The BMW M2 is the smallest and most agile member of the M-car lineup, designed specifically for enthusiasts who prioritize handling and driver engagement over raw size or luxury.
The 2025/2026 BMW M2 codenamed G87 is a high-performance, rear-wheel-drive compact coupe, powered by an S58 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine, producing 353 kW (480 hp) and 550 Nm of torque (up to 600 Nm with automatic). The track-focused M2 CS (Competition Sport) pushes the power output to a staggering 523 hp.
All that power is transferred to the rear wheels via an 8-speed M Steptronic automatic or 6-speed manual gearbox and an active M differential. The Standard M2 can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in approximately 4.2s, while the M2 CS can go from0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in roughly 3.8 seconds.
