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.

The M440i xDrive Convertible is BMW's open-top offering in India at ₹1.09 crore: a four-seat soft-top with a 3.0L turbocharged straight-six and xDrive all-wheel drive, in a single specification. India's convertible market is vanishingly small — the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 Cabriolet at ₹1.15 crore is effectively its only rival, and the BMW counters it with six-cylinder M Performance power.
