Following its unveiling a few weeks ago, BMW Australia has now confirmed local prices and specs for the 2025 M2 ahead of its arrival later this year. The new model showcases various updates for the trim and features, and a boosted engine for even greater performance.
Two versions are being offered in Australia. Well, actually it’s one but with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic, both with rear-wheel drive. Both also feature the uprated 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six engine that now produces 353kW and 550Nm.
Going for the manual sees 0-100km/h done and dusted in a claimed 4.2 seconds, with the auto needing only 4.0 seconds. It is one of the quickest rear-wheel drive sports cars on the market (with a petrol engine). The top speed is limited to 250km/h.
Inside, the 2025 M2 gets BMW’s latest 8.5 operating system incorporating a 14.9-inch multimedia screen and 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Australian models come standard with digital radio, a Harman/Kardon sound system, Live Cockpit Professional and Connected Package Professional, as well as Vernasca leather upholstery with anthracite headliner.
Also part of the mix is a set of M seat belts, M Sport seats, carbon fibre interior trim, M Shadowline highlights, M Compound brakes painted blue, and adaptive LED headlights. Buyers can option up to M Carbon seats for $12,000, an M Alcantara steering wheel for $1000, and ‘Frozen’ paintwork (matt) for $5000; Pure Grey metallic or Portimao Blue.
Three wheel options at no extra cost are being presented, including 19-inch items on front and 20s on the back, in black, Bicolour or silver. Red-painted brakes are also a no-cost option.
The 2025 BMW M2 goes on sale priced from $123,900 (excluding on-road costs), with deliveries kicking off from “later this year”.
