BMW works its magic once again as M2 takes flight
The 2 Series is already offered in pretty toasty M235i form, but now there’s a full-house M badge version, complete with all the kudos and expectation that comes with it. Seen as a spiritual successor to the limited-run 1 Series M Coupe, the M2 receives the customary level of M Division magic.
Outside there’s a tough-looking bodykit with pumped arches, air intakes that look like they could inhale small children, and steamroller 19-inch wheels. Under the bonnet there’s a more powerful version of the 3.0-litre single-turbo straight six linked to a six-speed manual or seven-speed DCT automatic, with uprated brakes, the electronic M differential and aluminium suspension components similar to those on the bigger M3.
