The BMW M2 & M2 Competition Thread

My consumption yesterday on my way to the BMW M-Fest at Kayalami and back. Must say there were some nice cars. Parking was a total fsckup. If they ever want to host an F1 event they are going to have to up their game.

So you saw the new M2 IRL. What’s your take?

In pics it looks “boxy” af, IRL does it pull it off better?
 
No did not get time to go that side. Had the kids with me etc. so was just a mission. Saw most of the show but missed the new M2.
 
Who designed that front end on the new M2? He/she should get a beer ban for life in Germany.

BMW M2 Performance Parts Catalogue Announced

As is tradition with the reveal of a new M car from BMW, the brand also announces the go-faster goodies for it. Here’s what you can expect from the BMW M2 Performance Parts.

The brand-new BMW M2 was recently revealed (and made its first public debut right here in SA) armed with 338 kW and 550 Nm. For the purists, a manual gearbox is an option.

It’s the looks that had many riled up, the leaked photos of a vehicle in an unflattering shade of blue did it no justice, but thankfully the official images in a striking red were better.

Now what you see here is the BMW M2 Performance Parts catalogue, which takes the standard M2 and turns it into something visually extreme. There’s a big carbon fibre wing mounted on the boot lid, as well as a roof-mounted spoiler.

On the rear bumper are some additional aero features, plus the same central-mounted quad exhaust system that has been available for the BMW M3/M4, while the front bumper gains some additional diffusers, in carbon fibre obviously.

There are bigger wheels available, with a stanced setup thanks to 20-inch units on the front axle and 21-inch wheels at the rear. The cabin gets a light makeover with carbon fibre inserts into the steering wheel, central console and dashboard.

I think I got a good deal on mine. Got R30k discount on Black Friday 2021. Paid R800k for a 2018 LCI M2 with 20k km on the odo. And it came with the AC Schnitzer exhaust.
 
Manhart takes the BMW M2 to the extreme with wild new look and 411kW

Manhart admits that the design of the new BMW M2 has proven polarising and the German tuner, in its own words, says it is adding fuel to the fire with this latest creation, the MH2 560.

It’s based on the new-generation BMW M2 that was revealed earlier this month, but Manhart has taken things to the extreme with a daring design package for the compact coupé as well as some significant engine modifications.

Let’s start under the bonnet. As this is an early preview, Manhart hasn’t gone into detail on what engine modifications were carried out, but they have resulted in a very decent power hike. The modified S58 straight-six twin-turbo engine now produces 412kW and 650Nm, up from the standard M2’s 338kW and 550Nm.

The engine upgrade is accompanied by a new stainless steel exhaust system with valve control and downpipes with or without catalytic converters.

Manhart Tease New BMW M2 Pushing Out 552 HP (412 kW)

Manhart has been rather quick to offer a virtual preview of a package for the brand-new BMW M2 (G87) and according to them adds “more fuel to the fire” of the discussion about the styling.

“You see here our interpretation of the new baby M-car and we are ready to take on its fearless, but daring design and create a unique package which leaves behind our signature mark.” says the tuner.

Manhart starts off by tweaking the 3.0-litre twin-turbo engine to deliver as much as 560 PS (552 hp; 412 kW) and 650 Nm (480 lb-ft) of torque. This is achieved thanks to a stainless steel exhaust system with valve control and downpipes with or without catalytic converters. OPF-delete pipes with 200 cells HJS catalytic converters and a choice of 4 x 100 mm carbon or ceramic coated tailpipes will be available as well.

 
BMW M2 M Performance Parts

The new BMW M2 promises unadulterated driving pleasure through every mile - of everyday journeys and track sessions alike. The race-inspired character of the compact high-performance sports car can be accentuated to stunning effect with the help of the BMW M Performance Parts specially developed for this model. Available from the launch of the new M2 (which gets underway in April 2023), the retrofit products from the Original BMW Accessories range add extra touches of rich emotionality to the design of the new BMW M2.

The BMW M Performance Parts for the car's aerodynamics, powertrain, chassis and cockpit offer a wide variety of options for customising the new BMW M2 with maximum performance in mind. All the components were developed on the back of BMW M GmbH's motor-racing expertise and the experienced it has garnered over five decades, and have been precisely tuned to match the two-door model's specific characteristics. They reinforce the pure-bred performance credentials of the new BMW M2, whose compact dimensions, 338 kW/460 hp six-cylinder in-line engine, optionally available six-speed manual gearbox, sophisticated chassis technology and rear-wheel drive make the first step into the world of high-performance cars from BMW M GmbH a hugely enticing one.

Exclusive materials, enhanced aerodynamic properties: the BMW M Performance exterior components

All the retrofit products in the BMW M Performance Parts portfolio stand out with their high-impact design, exclusive materials and top quality. The BMW M Performance exterior components for the new BMW M2 therefore match the two-door model's styling and geometry to perfection. And they have already undergone homologation alongside the overall vehicle, meaning they comply with statutory safety regulations as well as the BMW Group's own strict standards.

The new m2 might look like poop, but as long as the overall performance is better than the previous model people will buy it.

I mean, look at the m3
