BMW has published the official starting price of the
new M2 Competition, which goes on sale across Britain next month. The car will have a starting price of £ 49,285 (US$ 70,575)
OTR, or £ 2,545 (US$ 3,644) more than its predecessor.
That would be thanks to a number of
changes, including a modified variant of the twin-turbo 3.0-liter six-cylinder
engine that comes straight from the larger M3 and M4.
It delivers 410 PS and 550 Nm of torque to the rear axle through a standard six-speed manual
gearbox, or an optional seven-speed DCT. That’s 40 PS and 85 Nm of torque more than the regular M2, translating into a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 4.2 sec when paired with the automatic, and 0.2 sec
slower for the manual version. Top speed is still limited to 250 km/h,
or 274 km/h with the optional M Driver’s Package.
Other changes include visual updates such as the
black chrome exhaust system and 19-inch alloy wheels, with a new pattern, shod
in Michelin Pilot Super Sport rubber. Special trim, seatbelts, sill plates, red
push-button starter, new sport seats and steering wheel, and more, round up the
list of changes inside.
