The BMW M2 is a relative newcomer to the stable of M performance models, and already, it’s made a name for itself. Of course, that’s no surprise. As an entry-level offering, it’s drawn comparisons to vehicles like the 2002 Turbo and 1M Coupe. Now that it’s been on the market for a while, we’re seeing more than ever that these parallels are accurate.
What’s made the M2 so popular thus far is its authentic take on the driving experience. Although it’s offered in both standard and automatic, the presence of a manual transmission gives drivers a greater sense of connection to the vehicle. Then, there’s the broad torque band. All 343 lb-ft of twist come into play relatively low in the rev range, and stays there up through 5,560 RPM—a pretty impressive band. With the balance and poise you expect of a BMW M model, it’s a must try.
