New BMW M2: The greatest BMW?!

Say hello to the all-new BMW M2!

This is our first look at BMW’s new mini M4, and it’s time to find out if it was worth the wait!

Of course, we have to kick off with the design. Say what you want about BMW’s recent design language, but it’s been anything but boring! The overall shape of the car retains the standard M2 look, but up front, it’s all gone a bit square! You’ve got a massive rectangular air intake in the front bumper, flanked by two square ones! Thankfully the grille is relatively small (compared to recent BMW releases), although the frameless design clearly makes it stand out!

Even if you’re not a fan of the looks, there’s no denying the M2 has performance! It rolls up with the same 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six as found in the new M3 & M4, and it can put down 460hp & 550Nm of torque! That’s an awesome 10hp more than the old M2 CS, and only 20hp short of the regular M3 & M4! What’s more, the range-topping edition has the ability to hit 60mph in just 4.1 seconds!

As for the price, it starts from around £61,500, so it’s a fair bit more than the likes of an RS3 or AMG A45 S. But then again, let’s remember this is pretty much a mini M4, so if anything the price isn’t too bad!

But what do you think - has the design got you going ????, or are you in love already? Let us know in the COMMENTS!
