The 2027 BMW M2 has xDrive all-wheel drive for the first time. \u00a0\u00a0
\nThe M2 xDrive is 0.3 seconds quicker to 62 miles per hour than the rear-wheel-drive variant.\u00a0\u00a0
\nThe car will go on sale this summer with a starting price of $74,950, including the $1,350 destination charge. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the last decade, the BMW M2 has been a rear-wheel-drive coupe. That changes in 2027 with the launch of the M2 xDrive, which gives the model all-wheel drive for the first time… plus a bit more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The car goes on sale this summer, packing BMW\u2019s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, which produces 473 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. The M2 xDrive<\/a> is only available with the eight-speed automatic M Steptronic transmission, while the manual is still available on the rear-wheel-drive version. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two extra drive wheels make the M2 xDrive 0.3 seconds quicker to 60 miles per hour than its rear-wheel-drive counterpart\u20143.6 seconds versus 3.9 seconds. That drops to 3.3 seconds with a one-foot rollout, and the car can reach 124 mph in 12.8 seconds. The M2\u2019s top speed is 155 mph, but it increases to 177 mph with the M Driver\u2019s Package. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Fun Stuff\u00a0<\/p>\n

The M2\u2019s all-wheel-drive system has a rear-wheel bias, with all the power sent to the rear wheels in normal driving. The all-wheel-drive system engages when the rear tires cannot handle any more power. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The car comes with the Active M Differential, which includes M-specific traction control with configurable settings. Drivers can choose several options in the M Setup menu, including one that selects 2WD mode with Dynamic Stability Control deactivated for a more pure BMW<\/a> driving experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The M2 xDrive features staggered 19-inch front and 20-inch rear M alloy wheels. Track tires are optional, while M Compound brakes are standard. It comes with six-piston front and single-piston rear calipers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 2027 BMW M2 with M xDrive goes on sale this summer, with US models featuring the xDrive badge. It will have a starting price of $74,950, including the $1,350 destination charge. The rear-wheel-drive 2026 M2 with the six-speed manual starts at $70,350, which we expect will increase for the 2027 model year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Motor1\u2019s Take: The M2 was BMW M\u2019s best-selling high-performance model last year. Adding all-wheel drive as an option should broaden the coupe\u2019s appeal to a wider range of customers and guarantee the car remains popular.\u00a0<\/p>\n
