The BMW M2 Will Cost $51,700

BMW officially unveiled the new 2016 BMW M2 at the Detroit Auto Show today. It's aggressively styled, has bulging fenders, and is very, very blue. At least this version.

Beneath the hood is a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged straight-six that makes 365-hp and 343 lb-ft of torque. The car's DCT gearbox helps it hit 60 in just 4.1 seconds. That kind of acceleration is what helped it slay the tarmac at the Nurburgring, setting a 7.58 lap time.

Man, that's crazy. When the 2008 135i came out I believe it started right at $30k.

Edit: just realized this is an m2.

I just 'd myself

Can't imagine you'll find one near that price. If so that's pretty sweet

Our 235i was just shy of that price: granted it was awd, auto, loaded.

Lots of great competition at that price point, like the GT350

BMW's 3.0L needs some more ponies too. Lincoln, the senior citizen's car company, is making 400/400 out of a 3.0L V6. I guess if they give it more horsepower, it might start eroding M3 sales.

2 series is the 2 door 1 series tho no?

 

[ChrisRac]

Not a fan... could be my OCD though. Cabin of the car isn't centered on the car which is a turn-off for me. You got this long (or standard sized) hood and this tiny little trunk.

Out.

The new 2 series is basically the 1 series from 2008-2013 in the states. I think europe got 2door, 4door, and hatch

 

[YoushallgoFo]

hmm i wonder if this will do anything to the 1m values. Some of those cost more than this thing will.

I prefer the loon hood, short deck look. Its what made the Mustang so popular in 1964.

50k plus gets into a hell of a lot of low mile lightly used cars like damn near GTR prices........

Edit: yes apples to oranges before anyone throws a fit but 50k is 50k...... just saying......

 

[nos4blood70]

Would take 1M over this thing.. It seems a little…. bloated.

 

[Rent Free]

I think this is about E46 M3 size.

I think that everything else getting bloated and huge takes away from this one.

I don't think its as big as the current M3/M4 should be right between the 1M and M3/M4

This looks to me a lot what a new updated E46 would be instead of the new cars growing in size so much.

 

[Xfirez51]

Having seen this car in person several months ago, I can say the pics don't do it justice. It's got a nice stance w the wide-body, and the interior is very easy on the eyes. Looked like a brat little street fighter.

52k is a hard pill to swallow for a 2 series. I don't care if race car.

It's a cool car, no doubt. I just wonder who the market is.

 

[Marko]

52k is the base price. With options it would be over 60k

I'd buy a 16 Camaro SS. Nicely optioned for 46k

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER ^^^^^^^^^

WITH MAG RIDE and WITH LT4 Engine for still about $60K or less!

Welp this threads useless now.......

I'll be the one to say it: I don't think many BMW buyers are cross-shopping Camaros. I'm not saying one car is better than the other, just that they don't seem to share much in common other than both being rear wheel drive coupes.

It's like the old Mustang argument. Insert any brand car here and some dolt would be like "you can buy a Mustang for half that!".
