Product Overview

BMW M2 F87 is the high-performance variant of the F22 BMW 2 Series subcompact coupe in production from 2015 to 2021. It was available with a range of inline-6 engines that displaced 3.0 liters.

Interestingly, the F87 M2 debuted with an N55B30 engine rather than the S55 found in larger M cars. Fortunately, BMW corrected this with the introduction of the Competition and CS models in 2018.

Reviewer score 85% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The M2 Competition has more keenness, incisiveness and engagement all the time. It's great on the road but more so once you ask more of it. The dual-clutch transmission is good, but I’d spec the manual gearbox every time. You can lean on it with confidence and adjust the line easily.

Pros

Fantastic agility
Excellent handling

Cons

No manual gearbox
Not the most fun to drive

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

BMW M2 Competition is a fast and fun driver-focused coupe. Biggest change is under the bonnet, where the M2's old turbocharged straight-six has been replaced by the full-fat, BMW Motorsport developed engine from the M4. The standard M2 bodyshell has been stiffened with a carbon fibre strut and aluminium bulkhead braces.

Pros

Powerful turbocharged straight-six
Lots of fun to drive

Cons

Nothing in particular

Reviewer score 74% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from cnet have found:

The M2 CS gets a whole bunch of carbon fiber bits, all of which help reduce weight. Carbon ceramic brakes are available, which provide longer-lasting stopping power without fade. The CS is 55 pounds lighter than an equivalent M2 Competition, which is a fair amount of heft-removal.

Pros

Gorgeous interior
Powerful 4.0-liter V6 engine
Premium materials

Cons

No Android Auto
Lackluster driver-assistance features

Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:

The M2 Competition is frighteningly quick in a straight line, but it's the curvy roads and tight tracks where this coupe comes alive. Stringing the straight-six out to its 7,500 rpm redline conjures a pleasant rasp from the exhaust. The stiff suspension that I'd loved on the road course is rather firm around town.

Pros

Gorgeous interior
Powerful engine
Comfortable to drive

Cons

Lack of standard equipment
