We all know there are large issues on the way in which for the M2, specifically, the M2 CS that ought to debut for the 2025 mannequin yr after the 2024 M4 CS departs. BMW has a number of extra hi-po surprises within the chamber in response to a daily 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 might be bumped to 475 horsepower for the 2025 mannequin yr.
Observe, ynguldyn specifies that this is not a Competitors trim. As a substitute, it seems this is able to be the common M2 taking the de facto spot of a Competitors trim. Operating the twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six within the present automobile as much as 475 hp would mark a 22-hp soar above the 2023 M2. Until BMW makes an identical change to the entry-level M3 and M4 trims, the M2 would shade these bigger siblings by two ponies. The disparities may very well be much more stark with one other observe 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 increase 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 move, a slimmer curb weight for the M2 CS, plus extra hardcore elements, 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 approach exterior as properly, yunguldyn suggesting 4 new colours for the 2025 M2 colour palette. The colours are: Mineral Crimson, Portimao Blue, and Sao Paulo Yellow, Skyscraper Grey. The M2 configurator affords 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 a part of the choices or exchange what’s there now.
Elsewhere within the 2 Collection universe, the claims are that the usual coupe might be gifted nicer inside supplies and switchgear for 2024, and that the M240i will get a carbon roof on its choices sheet.
