, but the same amount of torque. There’s no Competition version for now, but don’t be surprised if BMW introduces one down the road.
Like its 2 Series donor car, the M2 is built upon the same modular platform as other rear-drive BMWs. It’s also longer, wider and lower than its predecessor. Its overall length is now just 4.3 inches less than that of the M4, and the M4 is a big, heavy car these days. Therefore, so is the M2. In fact, curb weight for the manual checks in at 3,814 pounds; the automatic at 3,867. That’s only about 15 pounds less. At least the M2 is rear-drive only, just how the M gods intended it to be.
The M4’s chassis stiffening, bracing componentry and suspension design is transferred over to the M2 in typical M Frankenstein fashion. It doesn’t stop there, though, as the M2 shares BMW’s adjustable brake-by-wire, 10-mode stability control intervention system, rev-match downshift program and even the same staggered-size wheels and tires.
