BMW unveiled the
new M2 Competition earlier this spring, but they only recently launched the
online configurator in the United States. The base version of the car that
replaces the M2 starts from US$ 58,900, without the $995 destination charge and
handling fee, and is finished in a non-metallic Alpine White shade. Choosing
one of the four metallic colors, called Black Sapphire, Long Beach Blue, Sunset
Orange or Hockenheim Silver means paying an additional US$ 550.
The next step is
deciding whether your ideal BMW M2 Competition looks best with the bi-color or
black Y-spoke 19-inch alloy wheels, shod with “mixed performance tires”,
according to the manufacturer. And only then the interior will open up,
revealing two more options for the upholstery: Dakota leather with either blue
or orange stitching.
Before moving on to
the packages and optional extras, potential customers need to choose between
the black high-gloss trim with pearl chrome accents on the dashboard, central
console and doors, or good old carbon fiber.
Regardless of what
you’ve chosen so far, the BMW M2 Competition remains at US$ 59,450, with the
optional paint. But this is where things get more expensive, as the Executive
Package adds a US$ 1,200 premium, with its adaptive full LED headlights and
automatic high beams, heated steering wheel, wireless charging for smartphones,
Wi-Fi hotspot, and speed limit info.
The M Driver’s
Package charges you another US$ 2,500, while the double-clutch gearbox with
Drivelogic costs US$ 2,900. Having a moonroof requires spending another US$ 1,090,
and finally, those browsing the online configurator have to decide whether they
want the ‘Ultimate Car+ 2 Bundle’ or ‘BMW Ultimate Care+ 4 Bundle’, priced at US$ 3,049 and US$ 5,249, respectively. With everything now selected, your BMW M2
Competition will cost US$ 72,349, or US$ 149 more than the larger BMW M4 Coupe.
