“Excellent vehicle and hard to find with a 6 spd manual and front engine. Rides very nice when you want and with the push of a button it turns into a beast. Plenty of storage and decent back seat.”
2025 BMW M2: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important change for the 2025 BMW M2 is a 20-horsepower increase, bringing its twin-turbo six-cylinder engine to 473 hp. This is a light mid-cycle update rather than a redesign, with added automatic-transmission torque, newer display software, and refreshed cabin details.
About the 2025 BMW M2
2nd generation (G87), third model year; light mid-cycle update rather than a full redesign.
BMW positions the M2 as its purist compact performance coupe: smaller and more playful than the M3 or M4, but still serious enough for track use. The main draw is the classic performance recipe of a turbocharged inline-six, rear-wheel drive, and compact proportions, matched with modern infotainment and driver-assistance tech. For most shoppers, the M2 is the BMW M model that puts driving feel first while still being usable day to day.
BMW positions the 2025 M2 as a compact, rear-wheel-drive performance coupe that combines direct driver control and track-ready hardware with everyday comfort and technology. Its standout features include adaptive suspension, an electronically controlled rear differential, a 12.3-inch driver display, a 14.9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a Harman Kardon sound system.
