German magazine Auto Zeitung took the new BMW M2to Hockenheim for their regular instrumented test. Weighing 1520 kilograms, the DCT-equipped M2 ran the standard sprint in 4.2 seconds, while the 0 to 124 mph (200 km/h), the “baby-M” needed only 14.9 seconds. But more impressive was the Hockenheim lap – 1:13.2 minutes. The figure is even more impressive when compared with the limited edition BMW E90 M3 CRT which ran the same circuit in 1:13.6 minutes.

The fastest BMW on Hockenheim is still the AC Schnitzer ACS4 Sport – based on the BMW F82 M4 – with a recorded lap time of 1:09.5 minutes. BMW’s “standard” M4 recorded 1:12.80 minutes.

The M4 has an absolute powerhouse underneath its low-slung hood. A twin-turbocharged 3.0 liter inline-six engine makes 425 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, compared to the M2’s single turbocharged 3.0 liter I6 engine that makes 370 hp and 343 lb-ft of torque. A 55 hp difference is big, however, the M4 weighs about a hundred kilograms more at around 1632 kg.

In the same instrumented test, the BMW M2 has shown a fuel consumption of 12.8 liter per 100 km, the equivalent of 18.3 MPG.

Comment from Sport Auto who compared the M2 with the AMG CLA (after many other compact sportscar vendors - including Audi with its RS3 - wimped out):

(About the AMG):
He did not even come close to the driving dynamics level of the M2 - not even with semi slicks"
:D
 
AutoBild Sportscars will test the DKG-version in their next issue (April 8):

To be 100% accurate... under the hands of the same driver (Uwe Sener), the M4 DKG is 0,2 seconds quicker around HHR than the M2. :)

BMW M

BMW M GmbH, formerly known as BMW Motorsport GmbH, is a subsidiary of BMW AG that manufactures high-performance luxury cars. BMW M ("M" for "motorsport") was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicle portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines, transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany.
