The BMW M2 has grown into a more focused performance machine, and it still sets the bar for a thrilling, yet functional, daily driver.
To automotive enthusiasts, a sports car like the 2023 BMW M2 is special. The modern car market is marching away in multiple directions from the purist driving experience. Be it autonomy or electrification, that driver-meets-car connection you get from a rear-wheel-drive, straight-six internal-combustion performance machine is feeling more and more like an endangered species.
Safety and creature comforts mean bigger, heavier cars. For a brand like BMW, the M2 is one of the last cars in its lineup that is even remotely close to the cars that put it on the map, like the legendary E30 M3. The 2023 BMW M2 has been completely redesigned, and it’s a more focused performance machine with bolder styling. It’s not the semi-sleeper that it once was. Is this more athletic, boisterous personality for the better?

What people say
Fast and just plain fun to drive. More tech than the older model M2 with lines similar to other late model BMWs. The 6 speed manual on this model adds more control and driving thrills for those with more traditional sensibilities.
IMO this is the closest thing BMW has achieved in terms of driving experience and fun since the 1M and E30 M3. Exceptional car, instant classic.
The only real M car left in the lineup. It’s exceptional to drive.
Its a great buy, sporty, yet roommy for 4 adults. Great handling and very well made.
