BMW M Motorsport has unveiled the new BMW G87 M2 Racing

"Meet the new kid on the block: the BMW M2 Racing! 👀 Affordable, packed with sophisticated tech, and ready to tear up the track in 2026. This entry-level beast is your gateway to GT4 and GT3—perfect for stepping into the big leagues. 🚗💨

Oh, and the camo isn’t just for hiding. It’s made from legendary track maps with many of the most iconic circuit segments highlighted in purple. Can you name them all?"

[NathObeaN]

Oh… “is that it”? I was expecting something a little more… well… race car.

[AhsanU]

Just when you thought things couldn’t get uglier, BMW says “hold mein beer”.

[LuckyBrand]

Could we add some more color to it? Looks kind of plain.

[X5V8Fan]

Looks like a stock M2 with a livery. More believable if it was to be a pace car

[ednir98]

I want to know exactly what is different about it. The livery sucks but it probably has some solid upgrades underneath.

[NewToM]

I like the livery…

Out goes the Competition, in goes “Racing Car”

That about covers all age demographics, gender next? 🤭

[NathObeaN]

When BMW customers invest more effort and resources to build a race car than BMW themselves, and do it a solid year beforehand, you know you have a problem.

This isn’t a race car it’s just a really ugly M2. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[bholler]

More of an “art car” than a race car but not in the market so not going to complain too much.

[Hit_Apex]

Talk about losing the forest for the trees, people here so programmed to be critical of aesthetics upon every single BMW release announcement they are now reacting adversely to camo wraps. Lame.

[JMD]

Well one thing for sure,...other drivers on the course will be confused as to which direction the M2 driver is going!

[SALD25]

Looks like a basic M2 but now with American good year tires whohooo!!!

[curtdragon]

Is this supposed to be one of those optical illusions they make your head hurt?

What does that even mean? This is a spec classed race car, Jackie built a time attack competitor. Do you know anything about the M Motorsport program?

[pegogetem]

Beautiful Machine!

[GOLFFRR]

I like how they aren't even using the aero parts like the stupid spoiler wing and front canards that they made for the M2.

[m4bimmer7]

Sir, please don’t try to patronise me. I’m sure this has some interesting components under the skin, but you don’t win races by slapping on a carbon fibre spoiler and a fancy livery. This is a lazy marketing stunt, not a serious demonstration of a built racing car. Their program has outputted far better examples than this in the past.
