2016 BMW M2 Spied

KUALA LUMPUR: Latest news coming from sources, reveals the spy pictures of the upcoming German car, BMW M2. Soon, this car is expected to hit roads, as its production is likely to begin by this year end. The car would make to the showrooms, probably by the second half of 2016. It's debut is scheduled in September at the 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show indicating an early release of the official images and specifications.

Earlier released details about the BMW M2 hinted at a powerful engine that could pump out a maximum of 425 hp and 406 lb.ft., which looks to go into the trash as the new spec details are out. The latest M2 will now be powered by a 3.0L 6-cylinder turbocharged engine capable to churn out 370PS and 500Nm of torque with over boost. This turbocharged engine is good enough to take it to a whooping 100 Kmph mark in just 4.4 seconds, which is incredible. It's recorded top speed is 250 Kmph.

There isn't any information about the transmission system that it would get a 6-speed manual transmission system or a 7-speed DCT gearbox. But, it is expected that the company would introduce this road machine with both the previous mentioned options to satisfy the different flavors.

The performance of the upcoming German car will be enhanced with the inclusion of limited-slip differential at the rear end, improved suspension, stability control calibration and the M Division traction. It also features a newly refreshed bumper that fits the design perfectly. The aero elements added to the front of new M2 imparts a typical BMW fashion.

Also, with this launch, all those who were thinking that the German car maker, BMW has lost its charm, especially after the launch of BMW 2 series Active Tourer, designed in an unconventional manner, M2 release would restore its lost glory (if any).

According to the sources, this car is likely to get a base price tag of around €54,000.
