More Power for MY25 BMW M2

The MY25 BMW M2 has been unveiled, bringing more power to the party and the good news is it will be touching down in SA before the end of the year.

The baby M has been given a lifecycle update and the MY25 BMW M2’s biggest change comes in the form of a bump in power. The 3.0-litre turbocharged 6-cylinder engine gains a performance boost with an additional 15 kW. Total outputs now stand at 353 kW and 600 Nm.

When it comes to performance, you’re now looking at a claimed 0-100 kph time of 4 seconds for the automatic BMW M2. If you take the 6-speed manual gearbox, that figure is at 4.2 seconds. In both cases, a tenth is shaved off the sprint times.

Impressively, the additional power makes itself known when you’re stretching the car’s legs with the BMW M2 delivering an improvement of 0.6 seconds if you do a 0-200 kph sprint. We get the feeling the tuning is all about the responsiveness.

We think this is a case of if its not broken, don’t fix it. Visually, there are few updates with subtle black badges with silver edging, a new wheel colours, new colour options, and black exhausts. The design of the LED headlights has been given a tweak, too.

The infotainment has been upgraded with the BMW Operating System 8.5 making its debut, across the 12.3-inch dashboard display and a 14.9-inch infotainment display. Inside, the steering wheel has been given a slight redesign.

When will the MY25 BMW M2 come to South Africa?

BMW Group South Africa has confirmed the baby M will available in local showrooms from the 4th quarter of 2024.
