2023 BMW M2 M Performance

At the 2022 Essen Motor Show, which will take place from December 3 – 11, BMW will present a more powerful version of the recently introduced BMW M2, the M2 M Performance. It is certain that this will please the demanding clientele of the Bavarian car manufacturer.

First of all, the M Performance M2 is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-6 engine with 460 hp (338 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. That’s a significant increase in power over the base M2, which has 453 hp (333 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. 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 car is equipped with carbon body components, which, according to the M department, have a “positive effect” on the aerodynamic properties of the Coupé, M Performance adjustable suspension that allows the car to be lowered by an additional 25 millimeters, a carbon rear spoiler, a rear diffuser with quadruple tailpipes for a louder exhaust systems made of titanium. Inside, Alcantara with carbon accents adorns the interior of the powerful sedan.

At the same event, BMW will also display the M3 Touring, M240i Coupé and electric i4 M50.

2023 BMW M2 – Last M model with ICE

BMW has officially announced the arrival of the last M model that will be powered by ICE, the BMW M2. The car has been awaited for a long time and it is now known that it will have its premiere in October, while the first copies can be expected on the market at the end of the first quarter of 2023.

BMW says that the M2’s performance will match the old M2 CS and will be powered by the S58 engine from the M4. It is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine with 450 hp. Power will be transmitted to the rear wheels via a standard 6-speed manual or 8-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission (optional). For safe braking and stopping, there is a braking system from the M4 model.

The new BMW M2 will also 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. The track of the front and rear wheels is 5.3 cm wider than the M4. The model should look quite aggressive and represent a clear improvement over the M240i.

Inside, customers will be able to equip the car with a multitude of carbon parts (extra charge) that will enhance the sporty ambience in the cabin. Also, there’s a new cluster and touch screen located behind the curved glass, which is the case with every BMW that comes with the iDrive 8.
