The M2 Competition came out this spring, and so far,
not that many tuners have dared to modify it. Dahler gave it a try
and have just presented their own version of the M2. It’s called the BMW M2
Competition2, and for a good reason as the Swiss company has already used the
Competition moniker in the first M2 in 2016, when they stuffed an S55 engine
into it.
The heart transplant, combined with some fine
tuning, allowed the unit to produce 540 PS and 730 Nm of torque. Their latest creation has identical numbers to play with, at
least in top form.
We said ‘top form’ because Dahler is also offering a
lesser version, which makes only 510 PS and 700 Nm of torque. In both cases, the factory speed limiter has been removed and
the output is substantially higher than the stock car’s 405 hp and 550 Nm. Other work performed to the M2 Competition is the addition of an
in-house built stainless steel exhaust system with four tailpipes, said to
provide the car with a “sporty-sonorous and unmistakable” sound.
Clubsport coilovers have been fitted for improved
handling and, on request, the tuner can throw in a spring set that brings the
ride closer to the ground and a new braking system with 400 mm discs
and 8-piston calipers.
Visually, Dahler’s M2 Competition2 is distinguished
by a front spoiler lip with side flaps, rear spoiler or rear wing and 9×20-inch
front and 10.5×20-inch rear wheels. Finally, customers who plan on
participating in track days can order a roll bar and racing seats, which are
available at an extra cost.
