Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

What type of drivetrain does the 2022-Present BMW M2 use?

The 2022-Present BMW M2 features a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) drivetrain with an electronically controlled M Differential Lock. This setup ensures optimal traction and dynamic handling, especially during high-performance driving.

What is the power output of the drivetrain in the BMW M2?

The BMW M2 is equipped with a 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline-6 engine, producing 453 horsepower (338 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. This power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 8-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission.

What is the role of the M Differential Lock in the drivetrain?

The M Differential Lock is an electronically controlled limited-slip differential that optimizes traction by distributing torque between the rear wheels. It enhances stability during cornering and acceleration, especially in low-grip conditions, by reducing wheel spin.

What is the top speed of the BMW M2 with its current drivetrain configuration?

The BMW M2 has an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). With the optional M Driver's Package, this limit is increased to 177 mph (285 km/h), showcasing the drivetrain's high-performance capabilities.

Can the drivetrain handle track use without overheating?

Yes, the BMW M2's drivetrain is designed for track use with enhanced cooling systems, including an additional radiator and an oil cooler. These features ensure consistent performance even under high-stress conditions.
