We previously shared the first confirmation about the next gen (G87) M2, with production set to begin 12/2022 in Mexico. Autocar has now published some more G87 M2 details in its newest report.

According to Autocar, the G87 M2 will feature:

S58 engine from the X3M / X4M and G80 M3 / G82 M4
At least 420 hp / 406 lb-ft
0-62mph in low 4 seconds
RWD exclusively
Manual and 8 speed automatic transmissions
Built on CLAR platform (along with upcoming second generation (G42) 2 Series)
Possible mild-hybrid electric boosting incorporated some time during 7 year life cycle
Assembly in both the San Luis Potosí Mexico plant (for NA) and Leipzig Germany plant.

Hell yeah, long live the Manual!

marshall834 · 03-09-2020, 10:57 AM

Great to hear on the manual!

Does this mean if you want European Delivery on the M2 you better do it this year or next?

VisualEcho · 03-09-2020, 11:03 AM

Manual FTW.

BimmerMat135 · 03-09-2020, 11:05 AM

I wonder if this M2 will be available for European delivery.

tracer bullet · 03-09-2020, 11:11 AM

"slightly larger dimensions" = ugh
future "mild hybrid electric boosting" = interesting

Get one before the huge grills get fitted

KennyFSU · 03-09-2020, 11:14 AM

Welp, time to upgrade my xdrive auto...

kyrix1st · 03-09-2020, 11:38 AM

Going from the excellent DCT to 8 speed torque converter auto in what is the purest M car of its range.

Abomination.

M3GymNut · 03-09-2020, 11:45 AM

This will be an interesting choice after I get tired of my F80...

To be honest, the whole industry is sort abandoning what you would traditionally expect in a certain type of vehicle. I'm at the point where I don't really look into these sort of details anymore and just see if the application works as intended. The 8AT in the M5 is a perfect example of this.

Jason60051 · 03-09-2020, 11:48 AM

Can't believe bmw is working their DCT out of their m cars. I get it the zf is a great transmission...but something about the dct...gonna be missed.

drexplode · 03-09-2020, 11:50 AM

Sounds exciting!

cotmfk · 03-09-2020, 11:53 AM

Great specs - let's see the grill. haha

bimmer456 · 03-09-2020, 11:58 AM

Was hoping for 0-60 less than 4 seconds.

MUFCbmwbear · 03-09-2020, 11:59 AM

Great to see the manual will be available!

SchwarzerReiter · 03-09-2020, 12:04 PM

But will it be ugly? Because modern BMWs HAVE TO BE UGLY!

04cobra · 03-09-2020, 12:05 PM

Been dying to pick up another M car, especially with a manual. The current one was just a BIT too slow for me, this one should be perfect though!

Yeah low 4s is the same as m340i xdrive with B58 maybe they meant under 4 seconds.

Zirenz2006 · 03-09-2020, 12:20 PM

hopefully it has really large grills

In the M5 yeah , but smaller M cars such as in M2 is a lot more fun with the dct
