BMW M2 coupe revealed

To rival the Porsche Cayman and Audi TT RS, BMW has already trademarked the M2 moniker, however we haven't heard much about it.

According to Auto Express, the M2 will be based on the firm’s F21 platform and have unique front and rear fascias. We can expect carbon fiber-reinforced plastics that BMW has developed for its Project i cars.

The company is currently testing two engines: a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder with 350 hp and an innovative tri-turbo with roughly the same performance but better fuel-efficiency. Power will be fed through BMW’s all-new DCT semi-automatic transmission, while the brakes will be taken from the current M3.


The M Division’s new managing director, Dr Friedrich Nitschke said “In the 1M Coupe, we have a starter car for the M Division, and we are continuing to develop this project. Such models must be sporty, and offer extraordinarily low fuel consumption. This is something we could achieve with the M2. I think the 1M Coupe proves there is room for an M2, a coupe.”

The all-new two-door is expected to arrive here in 2015 or 2016.
