The wait is over; the BMW M2 for sale is a hot new coupe has arrived. By stuffing a single-turbo straight-six and a six-speed manual transmission into a nimble chassis, it is the spiritual successor to the E46. Standard output is rated at 370 hp and 343 lb-ft, and a few more are included with a mid-rpm over-boost mode. Limited to a top speed of 155 mph, a new 7-speed dual-clutch automatic is offered for those who don’t want three pedals.

Yes, the automatic version features launch control, which is useful but does add weight to the vehicle. The manual gearbox offers a perfect 50:50 weight distribution. Short wheelbase cars can be a handful on the track, which is why an active M differential is able to instantly change the torque sent to each rear wheel. With a curb weight just over 3,400 lbs, the nimble M2 is ready for the track or the road.

A symphonious dual exhaust system, smooth manual transmission, and fearless power merge together to give life to the BMW M2 Competition. Powered by an upgraded twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six engine, this performance-based model pairs the familiar beauty of the 2 Series Coupe with the sporty M upgrades throughout. The result is the most powerful and responsive M2 to date with a staggering 405-horsepower output and 406 pound-foot of twist. While top speed remains steady at 174 mph, all other aspects supersede the former model by a longshot. Although more power is most notable, the decreased acceleration speed of 4.2 seconds, new forged 19-inch wheels and active M rear differential all aid in creating a better performing vehicle.
