BMW M2 in short

The M2 is the purist's BMW M car in India: a compact rear-wheel-drive coupe with a twin-turbo straight-six, priced from ₹1.065 crore — and it is one of the very last new cars sold in India with a proper manual gearbox, at ₹1.08 crore. The track-bred M2 CS at ₹1.66 crore crowns the range. Nothing else offers this formula here; the Porsche 718's successors and BMW's own M4 are the nearest cross-shops.

It sits above the more playful M2 and below the limited-run specials in BMW's M hierarchy. The Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupé (₹1.325 crore) and Porsche 911's entry variants are the cars buyers weigh it against.
