The Red Bull Driftbrothers have done a spectacular thing

Only a few of these will be built, all of which will have manual gearboxes
Here's a hand-painted BMW M2 that pays tribute to the original 2002 turbo from 1973. And it's a factory special: BMW is building a very limited number of these hand-painted M2 Coupes exclusively for the US market.So,

Hot on the heels of the fighty BMW M2 CS is this new road-legal 'track pack' upgrade for Bimmer's baby M car, arriving next year with a feisty new attitude.It's been developed by the M Performance Parts team-
The baby M car is all grown up
BMW has given its baby M car a helluva lot of horsepower. Meet the brand-new-and not-really-a-baby-anymore-BMW M2 CS, a two-door, rear-wheel-drive German sports coupe with 526hp. Five hundred and twenty-six!That'

309hp doesn’t sound too bad, either
This is BMW's new entry-level M2 racing car: Built for entry-level racing drivers, and stickered up with an entry-level price. And the big news is that it swaps out the road car's 3.0-liter S58 straight-
It features 3.0 CSL Batmobile-styled livery
You've got to be brave to bring out a styling kit for a modern BMW claiming that you took inspiration from the legendary E30 M3 DTM racer, but we reckon Zacoe Performance might just have nailed it with this one.Zacoe'

Peak output is now at 474hp, for a 0-100kph time of 4sec
At no point in Top Gear's custody of a baby-blue BMW M2 did we once think, "Hmm, bit underpowered-could use another 20-odd horses and more torque." BMW has clearly thought about it more than once, because it's

The real M3 successor?
One could say that BMW are one of the masters of making small, high-performance coupes. After all, the Bavarians have been at it for over 50 years. It all started with the BMW 02 series from the late '60s, followed by
Ready to take on the track
In the market for an M car? Well, you're both lucky and in luck as BMW Philippines has brought in the new generation M2. With that, the all-new BMW M lineup in the country is now complete. Assembled in Mexico
Quite a sharp-looking little thing
Californian tuner Vorsteiner has announced some plans for its upcoming birthday celebrations, and brilliantly, those plans include building a modified BMW M2 that it is calling the 'GT Edition.'Doesn't it look angry? We're actually really liking the wide-arched

Like something out of the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise
This is a modified BMW M2 that has clearly crashed through all nine Fast & Furious movies. The wide-arched, bewinged orange coupe is an expression of everything M Division's in-house modifications department can offer prospective customers.We first saw the

Time for an update!
Maybe we've just been playing racing games the wrong way this whole time, but whether it's Dirt, Forza or Gran Turismo, we'll always pick something fun over something fast. Yep, we hear it now; definitely playing the wrong way.
Complete with tow straps
The recipe for reactions to new BMW M cars has been fairly formulaic in recent years. First comes the standard car and we are all lightly shocked at its bold and controversial styling, then a couple of weeks later come the extra

This looks like a hoot to drive
The new BMW M2 ticks off quite a few of M Division's traditional performance car boxes. There's a straight-six engine up front. There's the option of a manual gearbox in the middle. And it's rear-wheel-drive.

Can't wait for the next BMW M2? AC Schnitzer's got you
Getting impatient waiting for the new BMW M2 ahead of its unveil in October? Us too, especially since we drove a prototype and BMW told us it'd have "similar performance" to the old M2 CS. But we've good news:
Got a favorite?
For decades, this was BMW's highest achievement. A superfast V8 two-seater, beautifully built. That package was gift-wrapped in a gorgeous body styled by Albrecht von Goertz. It came about because BMW wanted to make a splash in America, and

Then proceeds to undo its good work with that livery
The BMW M2 CS was one of 2020's stand-out performance cars. The boffins at the M Division gave it more power (444hp, to be precise) and more focus than the already brilliant M2 Competition, and BMW plonked on a hefty £

Now we get to the contemporary models
As truly difficult gigs go, working at Top Gear isn't so much 'deciding which houses to save in a bushfire' as 'deciding which mildly caustic simile to invoke about a new car.' It's a good gig. We admit it.But
A bit expensive though
A BMW M2 C2 is a BMW M2 that's missing an armrest. Which is frankly a bit annoying. In a normal M2, you can cruise with your elbow on a leather shelf, under which your phone lies charging, safe and out

Surprisingly, it’s still something you can consider tragic
Marc Marquez is really rather good at riding a motorbike. In fact, he's won the MotoGP championship six times (from seven seasons) since he made his debut in 2013.In that debut season, Mr Márquez also won the BMW M

And it’s not a great deal pricier than the road-going version
You've likely seen the BMW M2 CS. You've likely marveled at its purist spec, its outrageous power output, and the wondrousness of its existence, too. Well, now it's time to imagine racing one.The CS launches, as M Division'
