BMW M2
The current M3 and M4 models were up in terms of power, performance and price, so BMW decided to introduce an affordable, but still fast two-door coupe. The 2015 M2 is one of the best driver’s cars on the planet. With a combination of BMW driving dynamics, German quality and M Power heritage, it is the modern equivalent of the legendary 2002 Turbo and a pure German muscle car.
To create the M2, BMW used the compact platform of the 2 Series models with their precision driving and sharp handling. They added a performance-tuned suspension, wider track and bigger brakes. But, the best addition of all was the 365 HP 3.0-liter turbocharged straight-six engine.
As you can expect, the M2 is an Autobahn missile of the highest order with 4.1 second 0 to 60 mph times and top speeds of 168 mph. Also, as a nod to classic performance cars, the new M2 is also available as a six-speed manual. This is the version you should get if you are a true German sports car enthusiast.
