Updated BMW M2 gets more power – and keeps manual gearbox

New 2024 BMW M2

BMW has refreshed the M2 for 2024, with a host of detail updates for its compact, sporty coupe.

Although the M2's styling remains virtually unchanged, there are changes to the 3.0-liter turbocharged straight-six engine beneath its bonnet.

Output now peaks at 480hp, an increase of 20hp compared to the previous version. Maximum torque also climbs to 443lb ft, moving the M2 closer to its larger BMW M4 cousin.

This reduces the car's 0-62mph time to exactly 4.0 seconds, with a top speed limited to 155mph. However, this can be increased to 177mph with the optional M Driver's Package.

Still sticking with it

New 2024 BMW M2

BMW may be ditching manual transmissions from most of its models, but the M2 retains the option of clutch pedal. An eight-speed Steptronic automatic comes as standard, with the six-speed manual an extra-cost option.

Shifting gears yourself increases the 0-62mph time to 4.2 seconds, yet arguably makes the car more involving to drive.

On the inside, there is a new flat-bottomed steering wheel that features a red 12 o'clock marker. Buyers can specify a wheel trimmed in Alcantara, along with carbon fiber sports seats.

The latest version of BMW's iDrive infotainment system is fitted to the new M2. This combines a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel with a 14.9-inch central touchscreen.

A full color palette

New 2024 BMW M2

As part of the 2024 update, BMW has also added an array of new paint colors for the M2. These include bold Sao Paulo Yellow, Fire Red and Portimao Blue. Curiously, BMW opted to release press photos using the understated Grigio Telesto.

Buyers can also now have the M2's double-spoke alloy wheels in silver, rather than solely in black.

UK prices for the updated BMW M2 start from £63,360, with orders open now. Deliveries of the first completed cars are due in autumn 2024.
