"An all-time classic coupé is back with a bigger and bulkier look. The 2023 BMW M2 is a complete technological powerhouse putting together the brains and the brawn. From the exterior, you can tell it has been designed with power in mind. Every corner of the car says “aerodynamics” and is made to resist as much air as it can without losing its aggressive demeanor. To compliment the look, it has been fitted with a straight 6-cylinder biturbo engine makes sure it lives up to the tales. The M2 was designed by Mexican designer José Casas and will be built in the BMW plant in San Luis Potosí, making this the very first BMW completely made in Mexico: an ideal choice to take on a tour of the Horizon Festival."—Official description[1]
The 2023 BMW M2 - abbreviated as "BMW M2 '23" - is a front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupé manufactured by BMW.
It appears in Forza Horizon 5 as part of Series 25 and in Forza Motorsport (2023) since Update 5.0.
Synopsis[]
The 2023 BMW M2 (codenamed G87) proceeds the 2016 model, which ended production in 2021 and skipped the 2022 model year. It was first unveiled in Melbourne, Australia on October 11, 2022[2] and went into production in April 2023.
It is the first BMW to be completely designed and produced in Mexico, courtesy of the automaker's San Luis Potosí production facility. It has a weight-saving carbon roof as an option, reducing its weight by 48 lb (22 kg) compared to an M2 with the standard glass moonroof.
Drivetrain[]
It is fitted with a detuned variant of the S58 twin-turbocharged inline-six engine found in other similar model year BMW M cars such as the M3, M4 Competition Coupé, and X4M.[3] In the M2's case, it develops 453 hp (338 kW) and 405 ft·lb (549 N·m) of torque, 88 hp (66 kW) and 36 ft·lb (49 N·m) more than the previous generation. It is mated through either a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic, allowing it to hit 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.2 seconds with the latter transmission.[4]
