BMW has revealed the latest version of the smallest M car, which is now fitted with the engine found in the M3 and M4.
The M2 Competition has a twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine that produces 404bhp and 500Nm, which means a 0-60mph time of 4.0 seconds and a limited top speed of 155mph – that can be raised to 170mph with the optional M Driver’s Package.
It is available with either a six-speed manual or dual-clutch seven-speed automatic transmission.
This model replaces the standard M2 that has been on sale since 2013 and with it is a revised design to make it even more aggressive than ever before.
With a new front skirt and enlarged air intakes, the M2’s looks are more dynamic, and those are paired to the newly-installed sculpted M-mirrors, 19-inch forged alloy wheels and quad exhausts.

This model also comes with a revised chassis setup and optional upgraded braking system which were fitted to make it much sharper with its handling, while carbon-fibre reinforced struts were installed in the engine bay for additional rigidity.
Another new feature is the BMW M Sound system, which allows the driver to control the volume of the exhaust note.
As with other BMW models, the M2 Competition comes with parking distance control, dynamic stability control with optional M Dynamic mode and satellite navigation controlled by the iDrive touch controller.
Optional safety systems are also available in the form of collision warning, pedestrian warning with city braking and lane departure warning.
Prices for the M2 Competition start from £49,285 and is available to order in mid-May.
