A small body with the modern M six.
The G87 M2 brings the S58 engine family to BMW’s compact M coupé. Compare it with the M3 and M4 to see how the same engine family appears in a shorter two-door package.

A compact exterior still needs a check of rear-seat usability.
The S58 links this M2 to the larger M3 and M4 families.
S58 · Inline-six
S58 straight-six engine-family reference. Output and installation remain specific to each car.
S58 · Petrol
The second-generation M2 uses a 3.0-litre S58 straight-six with two mono-scroll turbochargers. These figures describe the 460 PS launch model; later revisions have different outputs.
Two turbochargers
Two exhaust-driven turbochargers compress the intake air. Charge-air cooling removes heat added during compression.
Rear-wheel drive
The engine drives the rear wheels through an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission or optional six-speed manual. An electronically controlled Active M Differential supports traction.
