2023 BMW M2 has finally arrived

After a long wait and plenty of spy photos of the camouflaged car, BMW has finally unveiled the new generation 2023 BMW M2 model, which will be the last with ICE.

The BMW M2 will be powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-6 ​​engine with 453 hp (333 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. The same engine powers the current M4 model. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic technology, and BMW will also offer a six-speed manual transmission as an option. It reaches 62 mph in 3.9 seconds with the automatic transmission or 4.1 if the manual transmission is used. BMW has electronically limited the top speed to 155 mph (250 km/h), but this can be increased to 177 mph (285 km/h) with the optional M Driver’s Package.

The new BMW M2 will be offered with a carbon roof, and will have the same adaptive shock absorbers as the M4. It will be mounted on 19 and 20 inch wheels wrapped in 275/35 R19 (front) and 285/30 R20 (rear) tires.

Inside, newly designed M Sport seats with illuminated M logo on the headrests will provide the driver with maximum comfort. Buyers will be able to choose the M Carbon package, which offers carbon seats that are 10.8 kilograms lighter than the standard M Sport seats. Entering the vehicle, the first thing the driver will notice is the curved display on the instrument panel, with two screens of 12.3 and 14.9 inches through which the driver can adjust various vehicle systems, such as the chassis, steering, braking and M traction control.

BMW will produce the new M2 in its facilities in Mexico and the first deliveries to customers are planned for the beginning of spring next year. For the next few years, BMW announces more powerful versions, CS and CSL.
