The BMW M2 was conceived as a pure driver’s car, offering a distilled M experience in a compact, agile form factor. Based on a shortened 2 Series chassis with significant M engineering enhancements, the M2 featured widened tracks, stiffer subframes, and bespoke suspension tuning — elements typically reserved for full M models.

As the model evolved, the introduction of the M2 Competition and M2 CS brought even greater performance, including the transplant of the M3/M4’s S55 engine, upgraded brakes, optional carbon fiber roof, and a recalibrated active M differential. The M2 CS, in particular, introduced track-focused refinements that rivaled far more expensive sports cars, all while retaining a six-speed manual option.

Its aggressive fenders, wide stance, and analog driving feel – rare in modern performance cars – firmly justify the M2’s inclusion in any performance-focused collection. This model represents BMW’s commitment to accessible, visceral performance rooted in motorsport DNA, making it one of the most respected compact performance coupes of its era.

Body Styles

High-Performance Compact Coupe (M2) – a two-door, rear-wheel-drive coupe built on the F22 platform, enhanced by BMW’s M division with flared wheel arches, aggressive bumpers, and quad exhausts. The M2 preserves BMW’s classic sports car proportions — short overhangs, wide track, and long hood — in a footprint smaller than the M4. It delivers pure driving dynamics with modern electronics and analog appeal.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

The "M" designates BMW’s Motorsport division, and "2" positions it as the most compact model in the M lineup. As a spiritual successor to the E30 and E46 M3, the M2 emphasized lightweight, agility, and driver involvement, becoming one of the most beloved modern BMWs among enthusiasts.

Model Name Meaning (Languages)

"M2" is simple, instantly recognizable, and needs no translation. Globally, the "M" badge signals precision engineering, dynamic handling, and racing heritage, while the number 2 keeps the focus on the compact sports coupe category.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The standard M2 offered classic BMW hues like Alpine White, Long Beach Blue, Black Sapphire Metallic, and Mineral Grey. The M2 Competition added new shades such as Sunset Orange and Hockenheim Silver. The M2 CS introduced exclusive Misano Blue Metallic, Frozen Portimao Blue, and Sapphire Black with carbon accents.

Inside, the M2 was outfitted with Dakota leather sports seats (later Alcantara and Merino leather in CS), M tri-color stitching, and carbon fiber or brushed aluminum trim. M2 Competition added redesigned M seats with illuminated logos, contrast stitching, and black panel instruments. M2 CS featured Alcantara door cards, a unique CS-stitched armrest, optional M Carbon buckets, and carbon fiber center console and dashboard trim.

Tech features included iDrive with an 8.8" screen, optional Harman Kardon audio, adaptive headlights, and dual-zone climate. The M2 CS skipped some insulation and luxury in favor of weight reduction — including an optional carbon roof, reduced sound deadening, and lightweight forged wheels.

Wheels included 19-inch staggered M double-spoke alloys on all versions — in Orbit Grey (standard), Jet Black (Competition), or Gold Matte (CS). Michelin Pilot Super Sport or Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires provided grip. CS versions came standard with M Carbon Ceramic brakes and optional Cup tires.

vs Competitors

The BMW M2 competed against the Audi RS3, Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 / A 45, Porsche 718 Cayman S, and even the Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE and Ford Mustang GT Performance Pack. Compared to the RS3 and AMG, the M2 offered rear-wheel-drive purity, manual transmission, and sharper steering feel. Against the Cayman S, it lacked mid-engine balance but delivered more power, space, and real-world usability. Compared to American rivals, the M2 had a more compact footprint, superior build quality, and track-day finesse. Overall, the M2 became a modern benchmark for balanced, analog performance in a digital age, earning cult status among BMW loyalists.

Fun Fact

The BMW M2 (F87) became an instant classic not just for its compact proportions and thrilling performance, but also because it was the last BMW M car offered with a fully analog gauge cluster and minimal driver assistance, making it a cult favorite among purists. In its final form — the M2 CS — it featured components borrowed directly from the M4 Competition, including the S55 engine, adaptive suspension, and carbon fiber body parts, yet remained lighter, more focused, and more playful on the limit.

A lesser-known fact: the standard M2 used a unique engine, the N55, which was a tuned version of the inline-six used in non-M models — making it the only M car in the lineup at the time not to use a bespoke M engine. Despite that, it was widely praised for having the most balanced and engaging driving dynamics in the M division, often referred to as the spiritual successor to the legendary E30 M3. Enthusiasts embraced it for bringing back the raw, mechanical joy that had slowly been disappearing in larger, more digital M cars.
