BMW’s high performance M models, inspired by motorsports, have always had a reputation as being the ultimate cars for people who love to drive. Now BMW is happy to bring a new M model, the 2016 M2 based on the popular 2 Series coupe, to the lineup.
The 2016 BMW M2 is easily one of the best-looking BMW models currently available, and what we know of its performance features will be exciting to car enthusiasts in the Fayetteville, NC area.
The M2 uses a turbocharged 3.0L I6 engine with a six-speed manual transmission or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. It will produce a truly enormous 365 HP, and 343 lb.-ft. of torque, which can temporarily be boosted even further up to 369 lb.-ft. when the Overboost feature is engaged. It can sprint from 0-60 mph in just 4.1 seconds.
Some of the other features we’ve learned of and are impressed with include:
- M-styled cockpit designed around the driver with easy access to all controls and a heads-up display
- Sport seats with adjustable side bolsters in black Dakota leather with blue contrast stitching
- 19” forged wheels with custom Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires
- GoPro and BMW M laptimer apps for days at the track
- Navigation system with real time traffic information, a 8.8” LCD color display with split-screen, and the iDrive touch controller
The 2016 BMW M2 arrives in April, but Fayetteville, NC area drivers not willing to wait should give our BMW dealership a call.
