Performance, luxury, comfort, and style – there’s a lot to admire about a used BMW M2. Even by BMW’s exceptional standards, the M2 is a special model.
Although it has drawn inevitable comparisons with a 2 Series, it shares the same engine as the BMW M3 and M4. The M2 is fitted with a high performance 3.0 litre M TwinPower turbo six-cylinder petrol engine, which kicks out a punchy 460bhp; 0-62mph is 4.4 seconds. Quick enough for you?
Superbly responsive steering and sharp handling complement the driving experience, and the used BMW M2 has other performance tricks up its sleeve. The Adaptive M suspension means drivers can adapt to road conditions. Driving Experience Control enables you to adapt the chassis using electric controls, while the Active M Differential provides ‘optimised traction and driving stability’ via the rear-wheel drive.
Thanks to BMW’s lightweight construction concept, the M2 is significantly lighter than other cars on the road. The M Carbon roof is made of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic, which makes it approximately 6 kg lighter than steel-based alternatives and helps to lower the car’s centre of gravity for improved agility.
The interior has classic BMW styling, with the M steering wheel and leather seating among the features – M Carbon bucket seats are available as an option for an even sportier effect. Though it’s obviously not as spacious inside as a five-seater, for a coupé-style car it has more room than might be expected, in the front and the rear. A used BMW M2 can seat four adults, with two in the back. The boot also has a reasonably large capacity for a car of this type, at 390 litres – bigger than some class rivals.
On used BMW M2 models, the BMW iDrive infotainment system comes as standard. It has touchscreen functionality but can also be operated using the rotary controller which is positioned on the centre console.
