The car goes on sale this summer, packing BMW’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, which produces 473 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. The M2 xDrive is only available with the eight-speed automatic M Steptronic transmission, while the manual is still available on the rear-wheel-drive version.
The two extra drive wheels make the M2 xDrive 0.3 seconds quicker to 60 miles per hour than its rear-wheel-drive counterpart—3.6 seconds versus 3.9 seconds. That drops to 3.3 seconds with a one-foot rollout, and the car can reach 124 mph in 12.8 seconds. The M2’s top speed is 155 mph, but it increases to 177 mph with the M Driver’s Package.

The all-wheel-drive system engages when the rear tires cannot handle any more power. The car comes with the Active M Differential, which includes M-specific traction control with configurable settings. Drivers can choose several options in the M Setup menu, including one that selects 2WD mode with Dynamic Stability Control deactivated for a more pure BMW driving experience.
The M2 xDrive features staggered 19-inch front and 20-inch rear M alloy wheels. Track tires are optional, while M Compound brakes are standard. It comes with six-piston front and single-piston rear calipers. The 2027 BMW M2 with M xDrive goes on sale this summer, with US models featuring the xDrive badge. It will have a starting price of $74,950, including the $1,350 destination charge.
Motor1’s Take: The M2 was BMW M’s best-selling high-performance model last year. Adding all-wheel drive as an option should broaden the coupe’s appeal to a wider range of customers and guarantee the car remains popular.
