The 1 series has been pre-driven, the 3 series has been comfortable, and if you want to choose a pure, hardcore BMW, it seems that there are only 2 series at present. Of course, it had to be a two-door, rear-drive 2 series, and if possible, the M2 would be better. Then again, the new 2 Series has been on the scene for a while, and is the new M2 coming soon?
JDM bad boy style?
Although the BMW is hidden, it has never been able to hide from the camera of foreign media. In terms of the front face alone, there is a big difference from the M240i we already know. The front bumper is significantly sharper and more square, and the visible vent area is also larger. Of course, the most important point is that the nostrils size of the new M2 is still normal.
From a side-by-side perspective, the overall body contour is basically the same as that of the M240i, but the naked eye seems to be able to detect the lower body posture and larger wheels. On closer inspection, the front brake system is also equipped with multi-piston brakes, and the size of the front and rear brake discs is not small. Despite the camouflage, the performance atmosphere remains undiminished.
In addition to the conventional bilateral four-out exhaust version, if you can also get the "Gatling" exhaust layout and oversized tail fin through the option, is it a bit of a JDM rotten boy? This exhaust system can also be seen on the M3 C and M4 C today, and the rest of the taillight group seems to be consistent with the M240i.
In fact, regarding the new M2, a surrounding photo that previously flowed out of Chen Tian has also been leaked. Now combined with spy photos, Chen Tian is still YYDS, and the two cannot be said to be exactly the same, they are simply completely consistent. It depends on when Chen Tian will be able to put another wave of disassembly parts on the shelves before the release of the new M2.
Dual screen with iDrive 8
In the interior part, readers familiar with BMW can almost guess what it will look like. However, unlike the conventional design of the M240i, the structure of the dual screen may be used on the new M2, which is also the one on today's i4 and other models. At the same time, iDrive 8 will also arrive as promised. But I know that these are not important to M2 owners.
3.0T straight six, only rear drive
Although BMW now has a very intelligent four-wheel drive system, it can not only switch between four-wheel drive and rear-drive, but also has a so-called drift mode to control the angle of your drift. Technological progress should be so, but for performance cars, sometimes it is purely more important. Therefore, I also heard a lot of voices complaining about this four-wheel drive system.
Fortunately, the new M2 will only provide a back-drive, pure-rear-drive structure. Meanwhile, the 3.0T inline six-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum output of 406 horsepower, matches a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmission. Of course, the manual transmission for domestic consumers do not think much (think will not enter), we honestly look at the 8AT on the line.
Come with a new LOGO?
2022 is the 50th anniversary of the establishment of BMW's M division, for which BMW officially released a new retro LOGO at the end of 2021. It is reported that this new LOGO will provide optional services from January this year, but BMW officials have not disclosed its optional price. So in the future, will the new M2 come with a new LOGO?
Let's look a little wider. In 2022, we may see the M3 travel version (BMW M3 travel version of the domestic patent map exposed, this time is the introduction of must buy or next time? ), the M4 CSL, the production version of the XM, and the new M2 above are the models most likely to carry this retro LOGO.
Furthermore, what is closer and more relevant to us comes from a product plan that was previously flowed out of BMW China. It can be seen that many M-Sport models of the car series will be introduced to the domestic market this year, but the new M2 does not appear in it. To this end, we have also had a detailed interpretation, interested in the right link to review (next year's 8 BMW performance cars in the middle, M Performance new planning ignores the Audi S? ）。
Why not guess the price?
We found that the cash M2 is currently out of business in China. The new 2 series, now there is only one version on sale, priced at 299,800 yuan. So I am also curious, in the current environment, what kind of price will the new M2 in the future be? Tell me your answer in the comments section.
Write at the end
Although the current news indicates that the new M2 will be officially unveiled this year, it will be at least next year and 2023 until we see the real car touching the real car. It's worth looking forward to, at least BMW is still insisting on such a pure driving machine, and its introduction is almost certain. BMW, why not speed up the progress?
