BMW brings the M2 to India

BMW launches the second-gen M2 in India with prices starting from ₹98 lakh, ex-showroom. The two-door sports coupe is offered in a single variant with an automatic gearbox as standard, but a manual gearbox is part of an extensive options list. The new BMW M2 is being brought to India via the CBU route and will be offered in limited numbers.

There is also a buzz that some pre-specced units of the M2 have already arrived in the country and are available for delivery.

Powering the second-gen BMW M2 is a 3.0-litre straight six — also used by the M3 and M4 — making 460hp and 550Nm and powering the rear wheels via an 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox as standard. BMW claims the new M2 can complete the 0-100kph run in just 4.1sec (with the automatic gearbox) and it is said to have a limited top speed of 250kph. It also gets adaptive M suspension as standard.
