BMW M2 upgraded by Extreme Customers

The second generation BMW M2 debuted in late 2022 in Australia and since then has been the subject of many tuners trying to make this sports car better. One of them is Extreme Customers, which took M2 to a higher level.

The German tuner added a new front splitter, side wings and a redesigned lower grille with sharp new black slats, all produced by AC Schnitzer. There’s also a new downpipe with a 200-cell catalytic converter, a new exhaust system, new carbon-finish tailpipes, a set of KW Variant 3 shocks and springs, and a new suspension that improves handling but also lowers the car while contributing to its overall appearance. At the back is a large fixed wing in Brooklyn Gray manufactured by Alpha-N and an aftermarket rear diffuser.

When it comes to the powertrain, the car is twin-turbo powered
3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine with 552 hp (406 kW), which is more than the standard M2 (459 hp/337 kW) but also the M4 Competition model. It’s mounted on a set of 20″ and 21″ Wheelforce CF.4-FF R rims wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

BMW is developing a new racing car based on the M2

BMW M Motorsport has announced the arrival of a new racing car from the second generation of the BMW 2 Series, which will thus join the other racing cars of this series produced in the last decade.

“Proximity to our customers is something we cultivate at BMW M Motorsport. From our point of view, this includes offering mass-market racing cars that teams and beginners can afford, while offering them BMW M Motorsport technology at the highest level. We are delighted to we can announce the successor to the M235i Racing, M240i Racing and M2 CS Racing models. Our engineers are working to optimally prepare the car for customers,” said Bjorn Lellmann of BMW M Motorsport.

Five photos of the new racing model have been published, but there are no details about it yet. It appears to be based on the M2 rather than the lesser 2 Series versions such as the 220i, 230i or M240i. Also, certain modifications are expected to make the car ready for the track.

Although the car is covered in camouflage, some details such as a new front spoiler and a large rear lip spoiler can still be noticed, while the kidney grille and air intakes look like the one on the road model. Also, if you look closely, you can see that the car is closer to the ground than the road-going M2 and that it has new rims wrapped in Goodyear tires. Inside is a full roll cage and racing seats.

It is still not known when the car will be officially unveiled.

BMW M2 TR87 Edition

Autoid is a British company for servicing and installing carbon fiber and gloss black parts for German vehicles, has presented its latest project , the TR87 Edition. It is a limited number of Carbon Fiber Bodykits (10) for the BMW G87 M2.

This is not the first time that UK-based company Autoid has worked on improving the BMW G87 M2 car, as we saw a similar body kit for this model in 2023. However, now the TR87 brings a more pronounced splitter, different cooling intakes, sharper side skirts, a larger rear diffuser, an adjustable rear wing, optional rear bumper wings and front fenders with openings, made from the carbon fiber used in the production of BMW M Performance parts, top quality and OEM finishes. All the listed components improve the car’s aerodynamics, but also create up to 108 kilograms of downforce at a speed of 193 km/h.

Under the bonnet is a 3.0-L twin-turbo inline-six with 570 hp (425 kW) and 490 lb-ft (665 Nm) of torque, a significant increase over the factory 453 hp (333 kW) and 406 lb-ft ft (550 Nm) of torque. That’s enough to accelerate the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, 0.7 seconds faster than the factory M2. For a better engine sound, owners can now enjoy the Milltek Sport OPF-Back exhaust system.

Also, an optional Handling Package is available, which includes MSS Hybrid adjustable springs and several other suspension components, as well as a set of Yokohama AD09 tires.
