Although not carbon ceramic, an additional £1350 got you BMW’s M Performance brake package, increasing disc size to a respectable 400mm.

We much prefered the manual ‘box, too, but buyers that did had to splash out a further £2645 on the DCT alternative.

Pulled and stretched to fit over the wider axles, it looks tough, squat and brilliant, like all the best M cars.

Manuals do a little worse thanks to a shorter top gear.
Bmw m2 evom how to#
It wasn't not cheap, but the CS really is something special, and a fierce statement that beyond X5 Ms and M8 Cabriolets, the M Division still knows exactly what it is, and how to build one hell of a performance car. That all changed in 2018 though, when the Competition arrived with the proper S55 engine, revised suspension, and a host of other detail changes that aimed to finally make the M2 a real successor to not just the excellent BMW 1 M Coupe, but its historical predecessor the E30 M3.īut the M2's ultimate swan song came in the £75,320 M2 CS, a last-of-the-line variant that has elevated the M2 over and above its direct predecessors to become one of the M Division's true greats. The small two-door saloon (although plenty will prefer it to be called a coupe) has been on sale since 2014, and in pre-Competition form its lukewarm reception was pinned on its somewhat wayward handling and uninspiring non-M Motorsport engine. Where once that combination of elements was the norm for performance car enthusiasts, the modern era is quite different – except for the BMW M2.
It was just the next stage in BMW’s illustrious history of building two-door saloon cars powered by a six-cylinder engine powering the rear wheels. Sleek….The F87 BMW M2 was the first to bare the name, but won't be the last.

The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission also being sharpened through its own software recalibration. Some software tweaks were also made to the ECU, improving the throttle response and finessing the power delivery. Manhart quote peak figures of 592bhp and 612lb ft of torque, making it 148bhp and 206lb ft more potent than standard.Īlso contributing to some smaller performance gains is an all new stainless steel exhaust system (you can see it on the images), with redesigned downpipes and more free-flowing 300-cell catalytic converters. Underneath the bonnet you’ll find the BMW’s 3-litre twin-turbocharged S55 straight-six, but thanks to a variety of additions such as an uprated intercooler, a carbon fibre intake, upgraded turbochargers and an ECU tune, output has been significantly increased.
This resulting beauty was quite rightly rewarded with Evo’s overall 2020 Car of the Year award. It wasn’t too shabby before Manhart got it’s hands on it either, with a brilliant chassis and a very capable powertrain. What a car! This BMW M2 has been tuned within an inch of it’s life by the German tuner Manhart with it’s new MH2 GTR.
