BMW M2 Specs and Generations

The BMW M2 is the compact, rear-wheel-drive member of BMW's M performance family, built around a turbocharged six-cylinder engine. Here is how its generations and versions differ, and what to check before choosing one.

BMW M2 Generations

The BMW M2 generations represented here include the First Generation, the First Generation Restyling and the Second Generation, in Coupe and Sedan body styles. Start by picking the era that suits you: earlier cars are more compact and analogue in feel, later ones larger, stiffer and more heavily digitalised inside.

BMW M2 Specifications

BMW M2 specifications stay within gasoline powertrains across the represented range, yet output, transmission, dimensions and equipment shift noticeably between generations and versions. A manual car feels different from an automatic, and trim levels change the seats, brakes and electronics, so always read the specs of the exact build you are considering.
