2 Series [Hot!] BMW 2 Series Coupe (G42)

[klier]

I can probably learn to live with the front.
Side profile is great.
This however is the worst looking rear end of any car I've seen in my entire life. It's awful with any version of the 2er but this takes the cake.
As weird as this might sound I actually feel disgusted looking at it.

Side is indeed great. But the front is definitely as bad as the rear. It's thoroughly ruined through and through. Instead of fixing the rear the decided to mess up the whole thing. Makes sense to some extend.

Yeah, I don't like the front one bit but can probably push myself to be ok-ish with it (dunno why I'd do that but anyway).
I get what you're saying though.

2023 BMW M2 Will Pump Out 453 HP From Twin-Turbo Six According To Dealer Bulletin
BY BRAD ANDERSON | POSTED ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 25

A host of technical details about the new BMW M2 have surfaced ahead of its global unveiling and shortly after images of the car popped up online.

Details uncovered by a member of the Bimmer Post forum reveal that the new M2 will come standard with BMW’s S58T engine. This 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine was first used by the current BMW X3 M and X4 M Competition before later being used by the new-generation M3 and M4 Competition.
The ‘T’ in the name S58T refers to it as the ‘top’ variant of this engine, hence why it is currently only offered in the X3 M, X4 M, M3, and M4 Competition models where it pumps out 503 hp. The presence of the ‘T’ in the engine code of the new M2 could indicate that the sports car will be sold in Competition guise from the outset and that no ‘entry-level’ model will be offered.

The Bimmer Post report goes on to indicate that the S58T will deliver 453 hp when slotted into the new M2. That is just 20 hp less than the base M3 and M4 models and would give it more grunt than the previous-generation M2 CS that was capped at 444 hp and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque.
Interestingly, the document uncovered by the forum user fails to mention what transmission will come standard with the second-generation M2, but previous reports have indicated that both a six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic will be available and they will send power through the rear wheels.
Recent teasers released by BMW of the new car provide us with a good idea of what it will look like and as expected, it will be much more aggressive and bold than lesser 2-Series models. It will also be available with a number of M Performance Parts, including a large fixed rear wing and a stacked central quad exhaust system.

Stay tuned to CarScoops over the coming weeks as we get closer to the car’s October 11 debut.

Same here.

No oversized grille or kidneys = Good enough for me.

Are you serious? Worse than the rear of SF90………?!

Back to the EQS + 25” PS rims days to make a car less ugly, dude never gets tired hahaha

SF90 is bootyfull

That Zandvoort colour is absolutely not doing this M2 any favours. So bland. Just like Brooklyn grey.

No doubt be better looking in black, as does the M240i.

Even more happier I went for the M4 now.

I think BMW design team should buy a new 3D printer, the new ones are way more accurate and allow much more details.
You can already print an owl for example.

I hope they don't present it only with all black wheels

I like BMW's shock and awe strategy.

Reveal the shocking design of the XM first and BAM people are in awe about how simple and beautiful the M2 is.


Looking forward to test driving the M2 at the earliest opportunity. I will be very tempted by it but will be conflicted because by the time deliveries start, pre-LCI M3/M4 with a few thousand miles will be the same price. Good time to be in the market for an M car. Lots of choice:

M2 Coupe
M3 Sedan/Touring
M4 Coupe
M4 Cabrio
M5
M240i
M340i Touring/Sedan
M440i Coupe/GranCoupe

The power output is hardly a surprise anymore. It first popped up in 2020. It will be slightly different, EU vs US

Soon. But they already hinted at that: Between M2 Comp and M4.
