What’s New for the 2025 BMW M2
For the 2025 model year, the M2 receives a bump in power and some new tech. It features BMW’s new iDrive 8.5, which upgrades the infotainment system to a 14.9-inch touchscreen. BMW has removed some of the physical controls and migrated them to the new screen. It also features a new steering wheel design.
Design
The M2 announces its arrival with a menacing external aesthetic. The aggressively and abruptly pronounced wheel arches, large air intakes, and frameless twin-kidney grille are all aftermarket- and motorsport-inspired touches. There are three wheel designs, and all three are staggered at 19 inches in the front and 20 inches in the rear. The M2 offers an impressive level of customization, including unique extra-cost color choices with prices ranging from $650 to $3,000.
Powertrain
Behind the snarling front end resides a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine. It makes 473 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. That’s up 20 horsepower from the prior model year. Power is sent to the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual transmission or and eight-speed automatic transmission. Selecting the automatic increases torque to 443 pound-feet. The manual version will go from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, while the automatic will do the same run in 3.9 seconds. The 2025 M2 has a top speed that’s limited to 155 mph, but it can be raised to 177 mph (more on that later).
More than just straight-line speed, the M2 boasts an Active M Differential, Adaptive M Suspension, and M Compound brakes, all as standard equipment.
The manual-equipped M2 returns fuel economy of 16 mpg city, 24 highway, and 19 combined. The automatic returns the same for city and combined, but its highway fuel economy falls to 23 mpg. The M2 requires premium fuel.
Interior
Standard features on the 2025 M2 include leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a panoramic moonroof, and an ambient cabin lighting system. Cabin upgrades include carbon fiber interior trim, carbon fiber bucket seats, and a heated steering wheel.
Technology
As mentioned, the M2 now features a larger infotainment screen running an updated version of BMW’s iDrive system. It features an improved menu layout, as well as wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. Available features include wireless device charging and a head-up display.
Safety
The M2 comes with plenty of standard driver-assistance features, including automatic emergency braking, pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-departure warning, rain-sensing wipers, traffic-sign recognition, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
Pricing and Release Date
At the time of this writing, the 2025 BMW M2 has a base MSRP of $64,900 in its lone trim. Upgraded carbon fiber interior trim inserts is a $800 option. A full Carbon Package adds the interior trim, a carbon fiber roof, and carbon fiber M Sport bucket seats. This package costs $9,900. Of note is the M Driver’s package, which costs $2,500. It includes a one-day driver training session at a BMW Performance Center. Upon completion of the session, BMW will increase the top speed of the M2 from 155 mph to 177 mph. The M2 is backed by a four-year/50,000-mile powertrain warranty. The 2025 BMW M2 went on sale in August of 2024.
