BMWBLOG: BMW M2 To Get 473 HP In 2024 But Don’t Call It M2 Competition
Future BMW model information: Quote: "MY2025 G87 M2 will be tuned to 475hp."
- *New [Jan 2nd, 2024] In addition to the hp bump Model Year 2025 M2 with automatic transmission may also receive a +37 lb-ft torque increase from 406 to 443 lb-ft of torque. The AT M2 does not appear to be a Competition model. Manual transmission M2 torque remains unchanged.
Quote: ynguldyn "There's only one M2 model with start of production in 8/24. It is still called "M2" with no suffixes, like the current one. In a very unusual manner, the torque specifications of this model differ depending on the transmission installed: 550Nm (as before) for the manual but a bump to 600Nm for the automatic."

- Individual colors coming for Model Year 2025 as reported by BMWBLOG here. Known colors are Grigio Telesto, Java Green and A purple shade (TBD). New standard colors for Model Year 2025 are Sao Paulo Yellow, Fire Red, Skyscraper Grey and Voodoo Blue.
Similar although slightly limited list of likely colors in the Future BMW model information thread, Quote: "Skyscraper Gray, Mineral Red, Portimao Blue, and Sao Paulo Yellow could be the new colors."

- G87 M2 will get xDrive in 2026 although it's unclear if that's the production or model year.
BMWBLOG: G87 xDrive rumored to get over 500hp *New [Mar 8th, 2024] Quote: BMWBLOG "...sources close to Munich insist an xDrive variant is planned..."
- *New [Mar 1st, 2024] G87 M2 LCI not expected until calendar year 2026.
Will the xDrive variant be designated 'Competiton'? Your guess is as good as mine.  |
Other sources claiming +21 or +22 HP, though likely due the small difference between US SAE Net and PS (PferdStarke) German rating differences.
So probably +20 US SAE Net, with peak torque remaining fixed regardless for manual trans cars. Automatic (ZF 8 speed) car's may gain an additional albeit very tiny advantage in accelerative performance due to stated peak engine torque increase, which in theory result in a very slight increase in average HP under the utilized area of the HP curve. This should slightly improve overall derivability and perhaps reduce automated gear changes.
