BMW M2 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2017–2021) — First Generation Restyling
The restyled first-generation BMW M2 keeps its compact coupe proportions and rear-drive character, offering a focused driver's car that still works day to day. Here is what the mechanical choices and equipment packages actually mean for you.
Every BMW M2 engine here is turbocharged gasoline, but the character differs. The M2 Competition MT pairs a manual gearbox with rear-wheel drive for maximum involvement, while the M2 Competition DCT swaps in a fast robotic transmission. The M235i 2.0 AT xDrive takes a gentler route: automatic powertrain, all-wheel-drive drivetrain, easier in poor weather.
BMW M2 trim levels sit on top of the technical version rather than replacing it, so the same engine and gearbox can appear with different equipment. The M235i 2.0 AT xDrive is offered in M-Performance form, which typically sharpens the styling, seats and interior details. Always confirm the exact specification of the individual car.
