BMW M2 Competition - Guest drives

The BMW M2 Competition is a rear-drive sports icon: twin-turbo straight-six engine, pin-sharp steering and a double clutch paddleshift gearbox that urges you on. Unleash it at Thruxton Circuit and it truly wakes up, carving through the fast sweepers, then tidily dispatching the Complex and Club Chicane. Sheer driving pleasure.

What to expect from the BMW M2 Thrill

The BMW M2 Competition distils BMW M know-how into a rear-drive coupe with serious intent. Its 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six engine delivers all the power the chassis needs and is good for 0–62 mph in a little over four seconds. Power goes to the rear via a slick dual-clutch paddleshift gearbox and an Active M Differential, serving up the classic M recipe of punch and precision.

Flared arches, wide track, quad exhausts and a squat, purposeful silhouette. Inside, M Sport seats, a thick-rim wheel and configurable drive modes set a focused tone. Hit the starter and let the six cylinders fire up.

Out on track, the M2 gathers speed with an effortless prod of the throttle. Steering response is crisp, body control taut, and the chassis talks to you helping build confidence.

It takes only a handful of corners to tune into its rhythm; a few miles later and you’ll be chasing apexes for the sheer joy of it. The M2 Competition blends muscle with nuance - addictive on the UK’s fastest circuit.

The M2 Competition is simply outstanding
