M2 [Spy shots] 2025 BMW M2 CS


The BMW M2 is a high-performance version of the BMW 2 Series automobile developed by BMW's motorsport division, BMW M GmbH. As the 2 Series replaced the 1 Series coupé and convertible models, the first-generation M2 was marketed as the most basic M model in the range. Official website: BMW M
No one said they have to use the exact same transmission as Cadillac. The point is developing a manual transmission that can handle 650nm is not sisyphean task.

It would take a little bit of balls though. Something, I do not expect some one who rolls a second account on an internet forum and goes - "hey, look first time poster here" to have.
I agree. I guess they’d need to increase the size of the transmission tunnel.

Something they didn’t wanted because of the additional costs.
 
And "we don't have a manual transmission that can handle the torque" is a silly cope out. It is not like manual transmissions have some natural limit beyond which they fall apart. Cadillac has a 6 speed manual that handles 900Nm. I am sure BMW could source one that can handle 650Nm if it wanted.

Agree with this so much.
 
If you are thinking of Portimao blue?
This M2 should give you an idea?

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.
