General nameplate overview

Unscoped catalog background, not specifications for a particular year or trim. Review status is unknown except for the assertions cited below.

The BMW M2 is the smallest and lightest car in BMW's M range, a two-door rear-wheel-drive coupe built on the compact 2 Series. It arrived for the 2016 model year as the F87, replacing the 1 Series M Coupe, and quickly became the enthusiast favourite of the modern M line for its short wheelbase and comparatively low weight.

The F87 launched with the 365-hp N55 single-turbo straight-six. For 2019 BMW dropped in a detuned version of the M3's twin-turbo S55 and renamed the car M2 Competition, lifting output to 405 hp. A track-focused M2 CS followed for 2020 with 444 hp, carbon-fibre bodywork and adaptive dampers. F87 production ended after the 2021 model year.
