Forget the six-cylinder; the M2 Racing taps into BMW's racing roots with a four-cylinder engine reminiscent of the original E30 M3. Early M3s laid their claim to fame with a streamlined four-cylinder setup, a tradition the M2 Racing has resurrected despite the past flirtation with larger engines in models like the E90.
- Engine Type: Turbocharged 2.0-liter, derived from the B48 engine family
- Performance Output: 313 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque
- Transmission: Retains the M2's ZF 8HP automatic transmission
Despite its smaller displacement, this engine packs a punch, thanks to a reduced weight that keeps the performance engaging.
The M2 Racing boasts track-focused features, including:
- Weight: Approximately 3,300 pounds
- Aerodynamics: Full package with carbon-fiber elements
- Interior: Stripped for competition with a racing-specific dashboard
- Extras: Adjustable anti-roll bars, KW shock absorbers, high-performance braking system
The M2 Racing is primed for personalization:
- Customizable Appearance: Delivered in U300 Alpine White
- Add-Ons: Passenger seat, decal packages, rear wing, and more
- Race-Ready Features: Pit speed limiter, Makrolon windows
BMW M Motorsport offers a spectrum of customization options, but enthusiasts longing for the six-cylinder rush will need to look elsewhere, as these enhancements stick to the four-cylinder script.
The M2 Racing embraces BMW's racing heritage with a return to four cylinders, delivering a punchy, balanced ride tailored to its lightweight build. With a bevy of racing modifications and customization options, it's ready to carve its path on the track, echoing the spirit of the legendary E30 M3.
