BMW’s New M2 Track Pack Teased To Torment Audi Again originally appeared on Autoblog.
It’s the under-the-skin upgrades that will be most interesting
Now that the second-generation BMW M2 has been around for a few years, the German marque is hard at work rolling out more focused versions of the compact two-door sports coupe. Just last month, the M2 CS arrived with more power, and it has already shattered the Audi RS3’s Nürburgring record for compact cars. Now, BMW M has teased a street-legal track package for the M2, and our spies have also captured the M2 with this pack being tested on a track. The various M Performance Parts will no doubt turn this into an even more vicious track toy, so let’s take a closer look.
Huge Rear Wing Stands Out
BMWThe teaser shots are of a yellow M2 with the front and rear ends partially concealed by a camo wrap. The new rear wing is unmissable, though, and should increase the car’s downforce. To the eye, it looks like this model sits a bit lower to the ground than the standard M2, while the front lip also seems to protrude a little more, which is evident in the spy shots below.
We can also spot Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS rubber, and these performance-focused tires should help to extract maximum performance from the coupe. One partial shot offers a glimpse into the cabin, but we can't make out much more than the widescreen display found in other M2s. Rear headrests suggest that any weight-saving measures haven't gone as far as removing the back seats, as is the case on the more extreme M4 CSL.

“The BMW M2 hits the Nürburgring, pushing BMW M Performance Parts to the limit,” said a post from BMW M, more than a hint that the coupe will be chasing another Nürburgring record.
“BMW M Performance Parts is developing a street legal track day package to deliver pure performance.”
More Power And Chassis Upgrades Likely

Right now, it’s not clear whether the Track Package applies to the normal M2, the M2 CS, or both. Nevertheless, we expect BMW will be making a few changes under the skin, beyond the visual updates we can see.
The standard M2’s 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine makes 473 horsepower, while the one in the CS goes all the way up to 523 hp. We doubt that BMW will want to step on the toes of the CS, so an output between these two M2s seems likely. If applied to the standard M2, it’s possible the Track Package could come with a manual gearbox. Remember, the CS sticks with an automatic, as its output of 523 hp was deemed too much for the manual gearbox to handle.

Set to be introduced in 2026, we hope to see a full reveal of the M2 with the Track Package later this year, which is also when pricing is likely to be announced.
