The entry level into BMW’s vary of M-branded coupes will quickly grow to be a pretty entry level into the world of racing. The German model previewed a track-only evolution of the two Sequence that can bundle race-ready gear into a comparatively inexpensive bundle.
BMW M Motorsport is at present creating the automotive, whose title hasn’t been publicly introduced but. Nevertheless, since M is concerned the mannequin will most probably land as an evolution of the M240i or as an evolution of the M2. It does not sound just like the 230i, which is the most affordable model within the vary, has acquired clearance to go racing. Whereas that is pure hypothesis, the muscular physique equipment strongly hints at M2 roots. If we need to push the hypothesis to the following degree, it is maybe telling to level out that the following M2 CS is allegedly proper across the nook.
What’s sure is that the upcoming coupe will likely be marketed as a followup to the M235i Racing, the M240i Racing, and the M2 CS Racing. Past the M2-like entrance finish, we spot a carbon fiber roof panel, an even bigger rear spoiler, a roll cage, and an OMP racing seat for the driving force.
As for what will likely be underneath the hood, your guess is pretty much as good as ours. We’re betting that the engine will not be considerably totally different than the one which powers the street-legal, regular-production mannequin — do not look forward to finding a twin-turbocharged V8 between the punched-out entrance wheel arches. BMW may make tuning modifications to make sure the two complies with the principles of a given race sequence, nevertheless. Like its predecessors, the coupe will possible obtain a handful of particular components within the braking system and the suspension system to put up the quickest doable lap occasions.
“Proximity to our clients is likely one of the maxims we pursue at BMW M Motorsport. From our standpoint, this additionally contains providing a automotive for grassroots racing that groups and newcomers to racing can afford and that on the similar time provides them BMW M Motorsport expertise on the highest degree,” defined Björn Lellmann, the pinnacle of buyer racing for BMW M Motorsport, in a press release.
Extra particulars about BMW’s subsequent track-going 2 Sequence will emerge within the coming months, and the coupe will make its racing debut in 2026.
