Even in its “detuned” state, the classic inline six churns out 453 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. Enthusiasts will be happy to learn that the M2 is part of a dwindling list of cars that are still available with a six-speed manual transmission, although drivers will pay a price for shifting their own gears. No, not money. Rather, the manual M2 has slightly slower acceleration than the optional eight-speed automatic. Remember when that used to be the other way around?
BMW claims that the M2 hits 60 mph in 3.9 seconds when equipped with the slick ZF automatic transmission. The top speed is an electronically limited 155 mph, or 177 mph if you splash out $2,500 for the optional Driver’s package, which also includes a trip to BMW’s driving school to handle that extra speed.
For Luddites who eschew any form of electric propulsion except maybe on the golf course, the last of a dying breed M2 starts at $63,195 including destination fee, which actually doesn’t seem that pricey when you consider that the average price for a new car just eclipsed $48,000 – and the M2 is anything but average.
