The BMW M2 has always been about pure driving fun, especially with its 6-speed manual, rear-wheel drive, and 453 horsepower. When the current generation launched, it was a breath of fresh air for fans of old-school performance. We even clocked 0–60 mph in just 3.9 seconds. Not bad for a small coupe with a big personality.
Now, BMW is taking things even further.

More Power, More Drama
BMW already gave the standard M2 a boost for 2025 — adding 20 extra horsepower. And for 2026, we’re not only getting a more extreme CS version, but also a track-focused performance package, teased directly by BMW’s M division.
And yes, it’s street-legal.

A Closer Look at the Teaser
The teaser image doesn’t reveal much; most of the car is still covered in heavy camouflage. But one thing stands out loud and clear: a massive rear wing perched on the trunk lid. It’s not just for show. This is BMW signaling that the M2 is ready to go all-in on track days.
The company says the new M2 will be “pushing BMW M Performance Parts to the limit.” Expect serious upgrades beyond the visual drama.

What to Expect in the Performance Package
While BMW hasn’t shared full details yet, here’s what we expect based on the teaser and the brand’s track record:
- Chassis and suspension upgrades for tighter handling
- Carbon ceramic brakes to handle repeated hard stops without fade
- Possible bump in horsepower from the twin-turbo 3.0L inline-six
- Lightweight parts like carbon-fiber body panels or interior trim
It’s unclear whether this new performance package can be added to existing M2s or if it needs to be ordered with a new car. Either way, BMW says the new upgrade will arrive sometime in 2026.
Final Thoughts
Between the upcoming M2 CS and this new performance package, BMW is giving fans of high-performance coupes plenty to get excited about. Whether you’re tracking your car or just want an M2 that looks like it’s ready for race day, 2026 is shaping up to be a very good year.
