BMW claims that the next generation M2 will come combining the engine and gearboxes of the M4 with a smaller and lightweight car. However, the M2 won't come as powerful as its bigger sibling M4, despite carrying the same engine and transmission. In that case, expect the new BMW M2 to churn out around 450 ho of peak power. A CS or CSL derivative could increase the power ante, but higher-performing variants are unlikely to plan until around 2025. Also, speaking about specifications, BMW Blog claims that the new generation M2 is unlikely to receive an xDrive-equipped M2 initially. In that case, initially, there will be a rear-wheel drive variant of the car.
