According to foreign media reports, the new generation 2 Series Coupe will appear in a few months, and we represent our increasingly advent of New Generation M2. The rumor is pointed out that the current BMW M2 may fastest the production of this summer, and the new generation of the chassis G87 will enter mass production at the end of 2022, and published in 2023, and may be equipped with the current M3, the code S58 3.0-liter Lamu 6-cylinder engine.
However, this does not mean that the next generation M2 will be like M3, there is a power performance of nearly 500 horsepower. In fact, in order to make M2 and M3 have a clear product area, plus M2 is a shorter and delicate body size, and it is not suitable for imparting too much power, so on the final mass production version, you should not see more than 450 horsepower settings.
Foreign media speculation is actually quite reasonable, the strongest version of the current M2 (F87) – M2 CS is 450 horsepower, in order to correspond to such motility, original The factory must strengthen the air suite, suspension, and differentials, and even change the hood, roof and other parts, the purpose is to reduce the center of gravity and improve the balance and control performance of the whole car. Therefore, the general version of New Generation M2 is unlikely to have a power performance of 450 horsepower.
In the gearbox configuration portion, it is still uncertain to the current DCT dual clutch gearbox, or follow the trend of BMW M sports car, replace it 8-speed manual transmission from ZF. Foreign media pointed out that although the volume of the 8-speed man-in-one gearbox may be slightly large, BMW may still follow the trend of recent years, let DCT retract the stage.
