The BMW M2 is a compact luxury sports coupé and convertible renowned for its sleek design, robust engine power and cutting-edge technology. It debuted in 2016 as part of the BMW M performance lineup and is a successor to the 1 Series M Coupé.

The BMW M2 was named the 2023 Auto Express Performance Car of the Year, outclassing competitors like the Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica and Porsche 911 GT3 RS. It was acclaimed for its powerful 3.0-litre twin-turbo engine and sporty configuration, making the M2 an appealing choice for those prioritising performance and aesthetics.

It also won Car of the Year 2020 from the renowned motoring magazine and website Evo. It was judged on its on-road and on-circuit performance, highlighting its everyday usability and racetrack capabilities.


BMW M2 updates and facelifts

The BMW M2 (F87) 2015–2018 variant was a clear departure from the other 2-Series models. Its robust bumper with large air intakes and flared wheel arches contributed to the vehicle's increased power and performance.

The BMW M2 Coupé was introduced in 2018 featuring a number of changes that included the iconic, black-painted BMW kidney grille and a new bumper with larger air intakes that cool the brakes and engine.

In 2019 the BMW M2 CS was introduced. It included a sharper and more lightweight exterior design and a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged engine producing 450bhp.

The BMW M2 2022 featured a blacked-out and more angular grille, a front bumper with squared side scoops and a rectangular centre air intake. The flared wings, both front and rear, gave the car a muscular appearance.


Practicality and style of the car

The BMW M2 has a spacious boot capacity of 390 litres, while the M2 Coupé has a larger capacity of 460 litres, providing more space than the Porsche 718 Cayman’s 275 litres in the back or the Aston Martin V8’s 350 litres.

In both BMW M2 variants, the rear seats can be folded down in a 40/20/40 split to accommodate more luggage. This makes the M2 ideal for storing various items such as suitcases, shopping bags or sports equipment for both daily driving and weekend getaways.


Running costs

The BMW M2 falls into insurance group 42. It is less costly than its rivals like the Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA 45 (between insurance groups 45 and 47) and the Porsche 718 Cayman (between 42 and 50). The M2 is a cost-effective option within the premium sports car market, offering both high value and affordability.

The annual road tax for the BMW M2 2016–2017 ranges between £320 and £570. Rivals like the Porsche 718 Cayman share a similar tax rate of up to £570.
