REVIEW | Competition package makes BMW’s M2 even more of a driver’s car.
Athletic plumage in the BMW M2 Competition includes a front skirt and larger kidney grille in high-gloss black, an exclusive Hockenheim Silver colour, and forged alloy 19” wheels. Picture: DENIS DROPPA
The M2 Competition replaces the standard M2, and is offered in dual-clutch automatic and six-speed manual guises, with claimed 0-100km/h figures quoted at 4.2 seconds for the auto and 4.4 seconds for the manual. The package also adds an upgraded cooling system with increased air flow, and to improve rigidity and steering precision a carbon-fibre reinforced plastic strut has been placed across the engine bay. The electrochemical power steering, the Active M Differential and stability control system are also tweaked to handle the extra power.
Sports seats, plenty of carbon fibre, and M2 Competition badges on the door sills. Picture: DENIS DROPPA The configurations can be mixed and matched, and stored for quick-access using the M1 and M2 buttons on the steering wheel. But even in its mildest modes this M2, unlike the new M5 which is an accomplished dual-purpose commuter and fire-spitter, is a car that prefers the hell-raising side of life.
