The 2023 BMW G87 M2 - The Reviews and key information - June 2023 Update

It's been a substantial six years since the release of the well-received BMW M2 F87 Coupé. The automotive community has been buzzing with anticipation for the next chapter, the BMW G87 M2...

The F87 M2 held an esteemed position for us at AUTOID, thus the announcement of the new G87 model set our gears into motion. It's likely the last pure internal combustion engine M car we'll witness, a solid reason to pull out all the stops with it—not that we require an excuse.

We've been expecting the arrival of the BMW G87 M2. To prepare you for its arrival, we've put together a more comprehensive guide ahead of the modification process.

Spotlight on BMW G87 M2 Features

1. Power
   
   
   
   The G87 M2 doesn't just match its peers; it makes a statement. Sharing the same S58 twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre engine as the M3, M4, and X3M, it exudes a raw, unfiltered power. With a considerable leap from its predecessor, we're looking at around 460bhp and 405lb-ft of torque compared to the previous 365bhp and 343lb-ft. And to handle this power, you have the option of a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
   
   
2. Handling
   
   
   
   Next, let's talk about the new kid's composure on the road. With a wider track than the F87 M2, the G87 brings enhanced handling and stability. Add a stiffer body and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential to the mix, and we're talking a car that delivers on the performance promise. We're already visualizing some adrenaline-fueled AUTOID track days in 2023.
   
   
3. Design
   
   
   
   In a recent video, our friend Joe Achilles rightfully pointed out the G87 M2's menacing aesthetics. Its distinctive large front grille, flared wheel arches, and a sporty rear spoiler give it a personality distinct from other BMW models. The design exudes an aura of power and performance, which we're thrilled to accentuate with our range of modifications.
   
   
4. Features
   
   
   
   Let's peek into the cockpit. The G87 M2 comes with a bouquet of advanced features. Adaptive dampers, a sport-tuned suspension, and an M Sport exhaust system — just to name a few. Additionally, with an M Drift Analyzer and M Laptimer as standard, this car is indeed track-ready. To enhance performance and aesthetics, we're already planning carbon mods, spacers, and springs. Also, the G87 M2 provides driver assistance features like lane departure warning and forward collision warning for an added safety net.
