Autotrader UK’s Rory Reid is back with another video of the BMW M2 G87. After introducing their new sportscar a few weeks ago, it’s now time to take the little rocket to the track. And of course, to answer a critical questions: is the new BMW M2 too heavy to have some fun? The BMW M2 is actually about the same weight as the M4<\/a> and, in some cases, almost exactly the same. At its lightest, the BMW M2 checks in at 3,814 lbs, with a carbon fiber roof and manual transmission. The BMW M4 with a carbon roof and a manual is around the same. If you don\u2019t spec the carbon roof and get the automatic transmission in the BMW M2, you\u2019re looking at almost 3,900 lbs. That\u2019s where a car of the M2\u2019s size is considered heavy.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, during our personal track<\/a> and road<\/a> evaluation, the G87 BMW M2 effectively concealed its bulk. There were scarcely any moments when its weight was perceptible. However, when directly compared with the F87 M2 CS<\/a>, as we did, the difference in weight becomes unmistakably clear. The new BMW M2, though, has many admirable qualities. It features the BMW S58 engine<\/a>, a high-performance iteration of the B58 engine prevalent across many BMW models. This engine is a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six, boasting 453 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered exclusively to the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission. You can pair the car with a six-speed or an eight-speed automatic.<\/p>\n

Reid does a great job not only tossing around the G87 M2 on a wet track, but also to highlight the car’s capabilities as a “daily driver” as well. His car is also an automatic since in the UK, the 8-speed sales exceed those of the six-speed manual. The reverse might be applicable in other markets. So, it’s the BMW M2 a good track car? Is it a proper M car? Let’s find out!<\/p>\n
