help BMW M2 FAQ

Is the BMW M2 actually all-wheel drive?

The modern BMW M2 is known for rear-wheel drive, not all-wheel drive. The G87 generation uses BMW M division hardware but keeps the compact coupe's classic front-engine, rear-drive character.

What engine does the current BMW M2 use?

The G87 BMW M2 uses BMW's S58 twin-turbo inline-six, related to the engine in the M3 and M4. It is one reason the M2 feels closer to a full M car than to a lightly tuned 2 Series.

Can you get a BMW M2 with a manual transmission?

Yes, BMW has offered the G87 M2 with a 6-speed manual in markets including the United States. That makes it unusual among modern performance coupes, where automatic-only setups are increasingly common.

How does the BMW M2 differ from the M240i xDrive?

The M240i xDrive is an all-wheel-drive M Performance model, while the M2 is a full M car with a wider body, track-focused chassis tuning, and the S58 engine. The M240i is easiergoing as a daily driver, but the M2 is the sharper performance model.
