The fact that cars are getting fatter as the generations go by is particularly worrying for enthusiasts. Automakers try to compensate for the added bulk by installing more powerful engines, but that\u2019s only a compromise. The second-generation M2 is one of the worst offenders since the G87 is much heavier than the F87 it replaced.<\/p>\n<p><em>Top Gear<\/em> has been driving an M2 for a while as part of their long-term review, which recently included weighing the RWD machine. Their tester had the eight-speed automatic transmission, which is actually the standard setup in Europe. Yes, the six-speed manual is an option for which you\u2019ll have to pay extra. BMW says the two-pedal M2 weighs 1,725 kilograms (3,083 pounds), and sure enough, that\u2019s exactly how much <em>Top Gear\u2019s<\/em> M2 weighed with three-quarters of a fuel tank.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-bmw-m2-zandvoort-blue-six-speed-50-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-456260\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-bmw-m2-zandvoort-blue-six-speed-50-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-bmw-m2-zandvoort-blue-six-speed-50-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-bmw-m2-zandvoort-blue-six-speed-50-1537x1024.jpg 1537w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-bmw-m2-zandvoort-blue-six-speed-50-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-bmw-m2-zandvoort-blue-six-speed-50-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-bmw-m2-zandvoort-blue-six-speed-50-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-bmw-m2-zandvoort-blue-six-speed-50-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How does the M2 G87 stack up against its predecessor? It\u2019s a full 100 kg (220 lbs) heavier than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2020\/11\/02\/bmw-m2-cs-test-drive\/\">M2 CS<\/a> and M2 Competition fitted with the automatic gearbox. As bad as that might sound, <em>Top Gear<\/em> says the car remains agile and properly quick despite putting on weight. Let\u2019s keep in mind the entry-level M is also substantially larger than its predecessor, stretching the meaning of a compact car.<\/p>\n<p>A new M2 CS is coming next year with plenty of standard carbon fiber parts. However, we\u2019re not expecting a substantial weight loss. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2024\/05\/13\/2025-bmw-m4-cs-real-images\/\">M4 CS<\/a> launched last week shaved off only about 20 kg (44 lbs) over the regular model. It was the same story last year with the M3 CS. The hardcore M4 CSL did lose 100 kg (220 lbs) but dropped the rear seats in the process.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/06\/10\/bmw-m2-csl-prototype\/\">F87 M2 also got the CSL treatment<\/a> but sadly only for a one-off car. We haven\u2019t heard anything about a production version based on the G87. There might be an addition to the lineup beyond next year\u2019s CS. As early as 2026, BMW will reportedly launch an xDrive derivative, which would be the heaviest G87 of them all.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topgear.com\/long-term-car-reviews\/bmw\/m2\/m2-2dr-dct\/report-5\"  rel=\"noopener\">Top Gear<\/a><\/p>\n<p>First published by https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-bmw-m2-zandvoort-blue-six-speed-05-830x553.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be an engineer to understand that weight is the enemy of performance.
