2019 BMW M2 Competition Official Reveal Includes 405 HP

The BMW M Series has made its name on aggressive performance cars with superbly responsive handling. And when they make an M2 version and name it Competition, it improves on these traits to create a powerful car gifted with extreme precision.

A More Powerful Engine

It’s hard to pass up a BMW M2 for sale; the M2 Competition makes it impossible with an S55 twin-turbo I6, the engine the M3 and M4 use. It delivers 405 hp with 406 lb-ft of torque and sprints from zero to 60 mph in 4 seconds flat.

The seven-speed dual clutch is silky smooth as ever, with a feeling for anticipating your moves just before you make them. This helps improve the road feel, removing delay so that the car responds with you. There’s a six-speed manual option if you prefer directly managing your transitions yourself.

Engineering Upgrades

Now, you can’t upgrade the power this much without accommodating for it in the chassis. The M2 is starting to look and feel like the powerful M3 and M4. Rigidity is improved with a carbon fiber strut brace, and the front axles are stronger in order to handle the increase in power.

There are also more powerful M Sport brakes, 19-inch wheels new to the M2, and a limited-slip differential that automatically manages power at the rear axle to improve driver control.

An M2 That’s All Grown Up

The M2 is taking on a number of traits and tools from its gutsy siblings – both the power and the increased ability to command that power safely. The M2 looks even more beautiful and streamlined inside than it once did. We’re truly seeing the BMW M Series continue to grow and take on new responsibilities and capabilities.

It’s refreshing that BMW isn’t just standing pat on an already successful formula. Some automakers are content to rest on their laurels, trading off their name with static designs. Instead, BMW continues to progress and evolve, delivering strong, agile cars that better empower drivers in a faster world. A BMW M2 for sale like the Competition is an opportunity you need to seize.
