The second generation BMW M2 has finally landed in the region. AGMC, the official importer of BMW vehicles for Dubai, Sharjah, and the Northern Emirates, gave the sports car its regional debut at Hankook 24H Dubai Race.

To make it stand apart from the regular 2-series lineup, the M2 has a twin kidney grille sitting above a three-sectioned front apron. At the back, a muscular and bold bumper and diffuser can be found with the latter housing the quad exhaust system.

Powering the entry-level sports car is a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine thumping out 453 horsepower and 550 Newton-meters of torque. The M2 is available with a six-speed manual as standard with an automatic Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic also an option this time.

The manual M2s will be able to hit 60 mph from a standstill in 4.1 seconds while the automatic cars will be able to do the same in 3.9 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 155mph, however it can be delimited with the optional M Driver’s Package with the M2 then able to reach 177 mph. 

Step inside and you will find a pair of screens measuring 12.3 and 14.9 inches on the dash  M Sport seats with an illuminated M headrest logo. M Carbon bucket seats and M Carbon roof are available as an option with the Carbon Package. We’re told that the carbon roof reduces the car’s weight and lowers its center gravity.

The presence of the BMW M2 during the Hankook 24H Dubai Race at the Dubai Autodrome proved lucky for the BMW Motorsport team the #7 BMW M4 GT3 and #46 BMW M4 GT3 coming first and third, respectively. Team principal Vincent Vosse and his crew were delighted to see both cars on the podium.

Ayhan Olcer, CEO of AGMC, said: “I was extremely excited to welcome motorsport

enthusiasts and our customers to be the first in the Middle East to see the all-new BMW M2.

As part of our constant endeavor to delight the community of BMW enthusiasts, we are

proud to unveil the most dynamic, sporty and efficient version of the M2 at this year’s

Hankook 24H Dubai Race. Along with the BMW Motorsport Team’s memorable win at the

24H Race, the launch of the all-new BMW M2 is a tribute to the spirit of motorsport in the

region and commemorates a new milestone for AGMC and BMW in the Middle East.”
