Trim level differences

The 2023 BMW M2 is a high-performance version of the luxury automaker's entry-level 2 Series coupe. Under the hood of this rear-wheel-drive two-door is a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six pumping out 453 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, with an eight-speed automatic available as a no-cost option.

The M2 comes in a single well-equipped trim level, though a number of equipment packages and stand-alone options are available. Every M2 comes with:

  • Harman Kardon audio system
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Standard advanced safety equipment includes:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

Optional equipment packages and add-ons include:

    • Automatic high-beam control
  • Shadowline package
    • Black exhaust tips and headlight accents
  • Remote engine start (automatic only)
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Carbon-fiber roof
  • Carbon-fiber interior trim

  • Wi-Fi hotspot
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)

Which M2 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The M2 is sold in one trim level, but there are numerous packages and options available. We'd start our specification by sticking with the stick; the M2 is one of the few BMWs still available with a manual transmission, and we think you should snag it while you still can. Check the boxes for the heated steering wheel and wireless charging pad since they are both solid quality-of-life upgrades that don't add much to the bottom line. We also recommend going to one of BMW's driving schools to be acquainted with the limits of the M2. You don't need to spec the M Driver's package or Carbon package to do this. The schools are available to anyone, and you'll save some money by booking directly rather than optioning it on your new M2.
