We’re sure you know how this works by now, the BMW 2 Series Coupe is ordinarily just another overpriced 2-door coupe very few people buy. Now very few people have the chance to buy the performance version, which will be sold in very low volumes. During 2022, BMW managed to shift over 11,000 2 Series units in the USA. It’s a miracle BMW continues to sell the 2 Series at all.

The fact that BMW continues to produce high-performance versions of the 2 Series Coupe is impressively stupid, and the release of the 2023 BMW M2 is no exception.

Let’s stick to the facts and avoid any unnecessary hype. However, it’s worth noting that BMW has invested in media coverage to promote and gaslight its audience.

Here’s what you need to know about the new BMW M2:

The BMW M2 is available with manual transmission.
