[World Premiere] The BMW M2 Competition — A Future Classic has arrived

BMW’s M division has completely stepped up the game with the new BMW M2 Competition and its performance potential. The BMW M2 Competition replaces its predecessor, the BMW M2 Coupé. This 2018 model is a heavily upgraded version of the rear-wheel-drive coupé. It truly feels like a future classic has arrived.

With the new BMW M2 Competition (combined fuel consumption with six-speed manual gearbox: 10,0 – 9,9 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 228 – 225 g/km*; combined with optional M Double Clutch Transmission (M DCT): 9,2 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 210 – 209 g/km)*, BMW M GmbH is setting fresh benchmarks in the compact high-performance sports car segment and adding marked refinement to the character of the BMW M2 Coupé.

The new six-cylinder in-line engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology, based on the power unit from the BMW M3/M4, three-litre cubic capacity, 302 kW/410 HP, peak torque of 550 Nm (combined fuel consumption with six-speed manual gearbox: 10,0 – 9,9 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 228 – 225 g/km*; combined with optional M Double Clutch Transmission (M DCT): 9,2 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 210 – 209 g/km)* is an engine to be desired. The potential power that it can give is just mind blowing.

The new BMW M2 Competition package can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 s (with six-speed manual gearbox 4.4 s). It has a top speed 250 km/h (limited) and 280 km/h with M Driver´s Package (limited).

It has loads of new features that make it great. It has the high-precision CFRP strut and bulkhead strut for increased front section rigidity, new cooling system, including new front skirt and larger, redesigned BMW kidney in high-gloss black, new dual exhaust system with two electrically-controlled flaps, new, optional M Sport brakes with brake calipers painted grey, new optional M Sport bucket seat with integrated headrests and illuminated M2 badge at shoulder height, selector switches for immediate access to various engine and steering characteristics, as well as DCT settings via Drivelogic.
