Telling the all-new M2 Coupe apart from the normal 2 Series Coupe family will be very easy, as all you have to do is look for the fender flares, more aggressive-looking front bumper with squared air intakes, and typical grille with horizontal slats. The side skirts are fatter, and at the back it has an edgy bumper with a rather big diffuser attached to it, four tailpipes, and a discreet trunk lid spoiler.
Spinning around the M brake calipers are the M Division’s wheels, shod in sticky rubber. Also, the car sits a bit closer to the ground compared to the regular new-gen 2er, as it sports a tweaked chassis with a stiffer suspension setup. Taking center stage inside will be the iDrive 8, with two screens: one for the infotainment system, and the other one for the digital dials. A sportier-looking steering wheel, front seats with more side bolstering, and exclusive upholstery and trim will round up the changes here.
With the Audi RS 3 Sedan and Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S in its sights, the 2023 M2 will launch with the familiar twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six. The engine is shared with the bigger M3 and M4, and it is understood to pump out in the region of 480-490 horsepower. It remains to be seen whether this will be the actual output because if it is true, then it will be punchier and quicker than the non-Competition variants of its larger brethren.
