However, with approximately two years left in its production cycle, BMW isn\u2019t done with its smallest performance model just yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/f30.bimmerpost.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=901686\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BimmerPost<\/a> member Ynguldyn, who has a solid record for surfacing accurate information about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/bmw\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BMW\u2019s<\/a> product plans, a new version of the M2 will be released before the existing car is retired.

One potential direction BMW could take is to launch an all-wheel-drive version of the potent M2 CS, following in the footsteps of the xDrive versions of the M3 and M4.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s Next For The M2?<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BMW-M2-xDrive-202723-scaled.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> &#13;<br \/>\n            &#13;<br \/>\n                &#13;<br \/>\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \"   alt=\" One More Special BMW M2 Is Rumored Before 2029\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BMW-M2-xDrive-202723-1024x683.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n                BMW M2 xDrive&#13;<br \/>\n            &#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A couple of months ago, BMW launched an all-wheel-drive version of the regular M2, producing 473 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque, so it has the hardware to pair the all-wheel-drive system with the more powerful 523 hp and 479 lb-ft engine of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/bmw-m2-cs\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/bmw-m2-cs\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the M2 CS<\/a>. The presence of all-wheel drive cuts the regular car\u2019s sprint to 100 km\/h (62 mph) by 0.3 seconds, and it could make an even bigger difference on the CS.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, BMW may look to take the M2 in a similar direction to the M3 CS, launching a version with a six-speed manual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2026\/05\/bmw-m3-cs-handschalter\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2026\/05\/bmw-m3-cs-handschalter\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">dubbed the Handschalter<\/a>.
