Should I buy a used BMW M2 now or wait for the next model?

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The latest model uses a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine with 453 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, and it pairs that with either a six-speed manual transmission with rev-matching or an eight-speed automatic.
• Tech: The latest model brings BMW’s iDrive 8 interface, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto.
• Safety: The latest model adds automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, traffic sign recognition, and front and rear parking sensors.
• Starting price: $62,200.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
