BMW M2 Competition (2018/18)
SOLD
At the end of 2015, BMW introduced us to the spiritual successor of the 1M Coupe…….the M2. The ethos of the baby M car was to provide a simplified and accessible entry point to the BMW M range whilst at the same time endearing itself to the purist’s vices which had originally made the 1M Coupe such an undisputed success.
In 2018 and following the hugely positive feedback for the initial M2, BMW decided to turn the heat up a notch by implanting it with the twin turbo engine out of the M4, strengthening the chassis to increase rigidity and further developing the electronic rear differential and stability control. The finished product was the M2 Competition….a car whose true triumph has been allowing it to grow from teenager to young adult without losing the characteristics which brought us to love it in the first place.

INVESTMENT THESIS
First registered in April 2018, this sensational BMW M2 Competition finished in Hockenheim Silver with Black Dakota leather has covered a mere 390 miles from new with full BMW service history. Of even more significance, this particular example was the first RHD production car.
Initially supplied to BMW as a show car, the second (and last owner) purchased the car from BMW with 170 miles on the odometer. Given its initial purpose, the specification on this vehicle is impressive featuring the rarely optioned M Driver’s Package which increased the top speed to 190mph (from 155mph). In addition, a host of desirable options are fitted to the car including M Sport Braking System, Electric Glass Sunroof, Icon Adaptive LED headlights, Harman Kardon Hi-Fi, Electric Seats with Driver Memory, Enhance Bluetooth with Wireless Charging, Reversing Assist Camera, High Beam Assist, Electric Folding Mirrors with Anti Dazzle, Sun Protection Glass , Smokers Package and Concierge Service. This car also benefits from BMW warranty until February 2026.
With the introduction of BMW’s twin turbo S55 engine, stiffer chassis and a host of internal and external cosmetic tweaks, there is a notable refinement to the M2 driving experience. What’s more, with greater optionality in the driving modes, you gain the ability to personalise the setup in a way which was previously only available to the M2’s bigger brothers; the M3/4 and M5.
The new engine pulls beautifully from low revs and with the twin turbo setup, not only is turbo lag eradicated but the motor wants to rev with a greater urgency and freedom as you approach the red line versus the previous single turbo variant. What’s more, the new sports seats allow for a more holistic driving experience in comparison to the original M2. The real party piece of the M2 Competition has been its ability to develop over the original M2 whilst maintaining all of the playful quirks and characteristics which made the original car so great in the 1st place.
