We all know there are massive issues on the best way for the M2, specifically, the M2 CS that ought to debut for the 2025 mannequin 12 months after the 2024 M4 CS departs. BMW has a number of extra hi-po surprises within the chamber based on an everyday insider on the Bimmerpost discussion board. In one other tweak to the working sequence of future mannequin updates, person ynguldyn posted that the usual M2 will probably be bumped to 475 horsepower for the 2025 mannequin 12 months.
Notice, ynguldyn specifies that this is not a Competitors trim. As an alternative, it seems this could be the common M2 taking the de facto spot of a Competitors trim. Working the twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six within the present automotive as much as 475 hp would mark a 22-hp bounce above the 2023 M2. Until BMW makes the same change to the entry-level M3 and M4 trims, the M2 would shade these bigger siblings by two ponies. The disparities might be much more stark with one other word among the many rank indicating the M4 xDrive will rise to 525 hp from the current 503 hp.
There was no point out of any enhance for the present M2’s 406 pound-feet of torque. Early predictions by educated observers like BMW Weblog put M2 CS output between 518 and 522 horsepower. If all of this involves cross, a slimmer curb weight for the M2 CS, plus extra hardcore parts, would exaggerate the impact of the 40 or so horsepower differential between it and the M2.
A bonus little bit of flash would possibly make its means exterior as nicely, yunguldyn suggesting 4 new colours for the 2025 M2 shade palette. The colours are: Mineral Pink, Portimao Blue, and Sao Paulo Yellow, Skyscraper Grey. The M2 configurator provides simply 5 colours for the time being earlier than needing to hit the BMW Particular person menu with matte hues Frozen Pure Gray and Frozen Portimao Blue. We’re undecided if the rumored new colours would be part of the choices or change what’s there now.
Elsewhere within the 2 Collection universe, the claims are that the usual coupe will probably be gifted nicer inside supplies and switchgear for 2024, and that the M240i will get a carbon roof on its choices sheet.
