WE HAVE loved every minute behind the wheel of the BMW’s original bahn-storming M2 that launched in 2016.
Manual or auto, it didn’t matter – the baby M car served up sumptuous performance thanks to its 272kW/465Nm twin-scroll turbo six-cylinder engine and ultra-engaging dynamics with its short wheelbase and planted suspension set-up.
Sadly though, the BMW M2 is no more … replaced by the new M2 Competition!
Now fitted with the same twin-turbo engine from the M3 and M4, the M2 Competition ups power and torque to 302kW/550Nm, but does the extra kick ruin an already incredibly balanced package?
