The second-generation BMW M2 nonetheless feels recent, having been round for a bit of over a 12 months. Nevertheless, updates are already on the best way, a few of which will likely be launched later in 2024. We’re anticipating an additional 20 horsepower, which might carry the whole to 473 hp, and probably a richer number of colours. These adjustments might be utilized to the automobiles produced from August. In 2025, the M2 CS will likely be added to the lineup as a short lived member with extra energy, much less weight, completely different wheels, a particular coloration – you understand the drill. What comes after?

Our sources near BMW have instructed us that an precise Life Cycle Impulse (LCI) is deliberate to reach in some unspecified time in the future in 2026. That may observe the M division’s modus operandi of giving its efficiency automobiles a nip and tuck three to 4 years into manufacturing. Very similar to was the case with the just lately facelifted M4 Coupe/Convertible, don’t anticipate any main adjustments. We’re listening to the styling revisions will likely be modest, though there may be some extra yet-to-be-confirmed adjustments on the best way.

For the reason that M2 LCI is popping out in 2026, it means the limited-run CS particular version we talked about earlier is not going to get the up to date design. It’s going to be primarily based on the G87 on sale in the present day, probably with nicely over 500 horsepower, a ducktail rear spoiler, and solely two pedals. Sure, the M2 CS is unlikely to have a guide gearbox. Unhappy trombone, I do know. Count on manufacturing numbers to be anyplace between 1,500 to 1,900 models.

We’re listening to the M2 CS may have the identical wheels, entrance bucket seats, and Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel because the M3 CS. Solely a handful of colours will likely be obtainable, together with some kind of purple. The M2 CS is anticipated to enter manufacturing in August 2025, with the ultimate automobile to exist the meeting line in July 2026.

Additional down the road, BMW will preserve pumping out M2s till close to the top of the last decade. G87 manufacturing is supposedly ending in mid-2029, so there might be extra updates past the CS and the facelift. The M division would possibly roll out an xDrive model within the automobile’s closing years, probably as early as 2026. If an all-paw M2 is coming, an informed guess tells us it will be an automatic-only affair for the reason that M3 and M4 with xDrive come strictly with the Steptronic.
