The BMW 2 Series epitomizes the brand's famous ultimate driving machine ethos better than any other. It's the purest form of driving they currently offer. And now with a full-fledged M model in the lineup, the 2 Series just became the attainable car of your dreams.With a starting price of under $55,000, the M2 is BMW’s smallest and most affordable high-performance M model. At only 5” longer than the original E30 M3, this is the car BMW purists will gravitate to. Its proportions give it a toy car stance. Muscular and elemental, the M2 speaks to the driver in all of us and its 365 horsepower turbocharged inline 6 continues the conversation. It weighs about 3,500 pounds – 500 fewer than the M4 - and comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission.
