2024 BMW M2. The 2024 BMW M2 Coupe has been the subject of rumors. Not to mention, the Beemer has appeared in various spy photos during its testing period. Additionally, Beemer has unveiled the rear-wheel-drive 2 Series Coupe for the 2022 model year. It also ensures that a revised version of the much-loved M2 won’t lose its distinctive look.
You have to keep in mind that Beemer decided they were going to build a funky car, and this example is very clear from the iX. However, it turns out that the manufacturer has not forgotten its roots, including the performance of the car. Although they made electric cars, such as the M4 and M3, they still did not forget their “traditional” cars with impressive power and capabilities. The current M2 is a promising car, so imagine what it would be like with the promising improvements made to the M2.
There are videos and spy footage showing the suspected M2 prototype at the Nürburgring – for the first time. Even with the sealed prototype, the BMW M design cues are still present and clearly visible. You can still see the aerodynamically shaped side mirrors, widened wheel arches, and the quad exhaust tip with a center-mounted design.
2024 BMW M2 Redesign
If the 2024 BMW M2 prototype gives any hint of an upcoming model, the redesigned M2 will be wider and longer than the car it replaces, and will be the successor to the new M2. This fact alone will improve stability although weight can be an issue. But everyone knows that the torsional rigidity of the body will also increase with the new generation.
Some say the M2 may get some performance tweaks, including a carbon fiber roof (which is completely optional) as well as an aero upgrade. Many of the designs are inspired by the M4 and M3, but apparently not all of them are available for the M2. You can’t really expect to have bucket seats or brakes (which are carbon ceramic) on the M2.
2024 BMW M2 Interior Rumors
There is not much information about the interior details. But with the fact that the M2 comes with an updated update, you can expect better feedback, better technology, and better features. If the current car is good and promising, think about how great the future model will be.
2024 BMW M2 Powertrain Specification Performance
Many expected that the new M2 would come with a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-6 unit, as used in not only the M4 and M3, but the X3 M and X4 M as well. Output is expected to reach 420 horsepower—a significant increase from the last M2 model, which produced 365 horsepower. Expect better and stronger M2 competition during the upcoming launch as well.
Various transmission options are available, including a 6-speed manual transmission and an 8-speed automatic transmission. As standard is rear-wheel drive although all-wheel drive will be offered on the Competition variant. This is a similar chart for M4 and M3.
2024 BMW M2 Release date
The M2 is supposed to debut in 2023. After all, it is slated for the 2024 model year. Production is likely to take place in San Luis Potosi in Mexico, as this is one of the brand’s main factories. Moreover, this is where the usual 2 Series coupe is produced. Since we haven’t got any details about the ride yet, we’ll have to wait for more information on the 2024 BMW M2.

Update
The new BMW M2 debuted in October, reportedly on the 11th. A Bimmer Post forum member did some digging and found internal documents showing the S58’s 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine making 453 horsepower (338 kilowatts) in this app. If this document is accurate, it means that the S58 version on the M2 is slightly less powerful than the version found on the X3 M and X4 M. While the listing doesn’t show torque figures for the M2, the engine in Cross Performance clocks in at 457 lb.-ft. (620 Nm).
The internal listing doesn’t list the M2’s gearbox, but says the drive is “Heck,” the German word for rear or tail. This means that the model is rear-wheel drive.
A previously leaked technical document indicated that the M2 will also eventually be built with all-wheel drive. The system is claimed to have five driving modes. Torque distribution prioritizes sending output to the rear wheels until additional traction is required. Judging by the camo prototype (above), the M2 has more intakes on the lower front and horizontal slats on the upper grille. The ride height is lower than a regular Series Two, and the fender flares are more prominent. The quad exhaust outlet is located below the rear bumper.
If the regular M2 isn’t exciting enough for you, there are rumors that BMW is developing a hotter version that could bear the CS or CSL moniker. Reportedly, this would bring the engine’s power to 473 hp (353 kW). Only an eight-speed automatic gearbox will be available, which will rotate to the rear wheels. In addition to the extra power, there will be modifications to the suspension and brakes. We don’t have any details yet on when this model will come out. Frank van Meel, Head of BMW M Division, confirms that the new M2 is nearing the end of the latitude offered by the pure combustion team. The upcoming limited CSL 3.0, though, seems to be the real end. We already know that the next-generation M5 will adopt a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

News
The second generation of the BMW M2 has finally arrived. The coupe received a new design to set it apart from the rest of the second lineup, but that’s only half of the equation. The coveted M badge lets the world know this coupe has a powerful powertrain. The new M2 uses the BMW S58 engine to drive the rear wheels. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six makes 453 horsepower (333 kilowatts), an increase of 48 horsepower over its predecessor, and 406 pound-feet (550 Newton-meters) of torque. BMW offers a six-speed manual as standard, but an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic is an option.
The M2 with a manual gearbox takes 4.1 seconds to accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour (96 kilometers per hour). Auto-equipped models can complete a sprint in 3.9 seconds. BMW will electronically limit the car’s top speed to 155 mph (250 km/h). This rises to 177 mph (284 km/h) with the optional M Driver’s Package. Braking power comes from a six-piston front brake and a blue metallic single-piston rear brake. Red color is optional.
The new M2 is larger than its predecessor. BMW made it 4.1 inches longer, 1.3 inches wider and 0.3 inches lower. The automaker has also widened the wheelbase by 2.1 inches, making it 4.3 inches shorter than the M4. BMW has widened the track, front and rear, to match the M4. The M2 features BMW‘s dual kidney grille, which sits atop the three-piece front apron. These vents provide cooling capabilities for various powertrains and brake components. The rear features a bold bumper and an even more aggressive diffuser that houses the quad’s tailpipes.
BMW will launch the M2 in five available exterior colors: Alpine White, Sapphire metallic, Brooklyn Gray metallic, Toronto Red metallic and the new Zandvoort Blue (exclusive to the 2024 M2). Staggered 19-inch front wheels and 20-inch rear black light-alloy wheels are standard, but BMW will offer the same design in a two-tone finish at no additional cost. BMW makes the Adaptive M suspension and Active M differential as standard equipment.
The M2’s interior will feature newly designed M sports seats with M headrest emblem. BMW will offer M Carbon bucket seats as an option for the first time, as part of the Carbon package, which also includes an M Carbon roof that reduces the car’s weight and lowers its center of gravity. The carbon seats are 24 pounds lighter than the standard seats.
The interior also received the BMW Curved Display, a pair of 12.3- and 14.9-inch screens were placed on the dashboard. It will have M-specific controls, displays and configurations. The M setup menu allows drivers to customize the vehicle’s various systems, such as the chassis, steering, braking and M traction control, to their liking. BMW will manufacture the 2024 M2 at its San Luis Potosi plant in Mexico. The automaker plans to launch the coupe in the US market in April 2024. When it arrives, it will have a starting price of $63,194 (the $995 price includes destination fees). We got a taste of the new performance model earlier this year when we introduced an early prototype.
