June 1, 2021: Next BMW M2 rumoured to have 365kW and no xDrive

The 2023 BMW M2 may still be more than a year away from an official unveiling, but rumours about the upcoming entry-level M Car have been flying lately.

According to BMW Blog, there are now whispers the next-generation G87 M2 could be released with as much as 365kW.

If true, that’s a huge jump in performance compared to its predecessor, the F87 M2, which was released back in 2016 with its N55 twin-scroll turbo 3.0-litre straight-six producing just 272kW.
