2023 BMW M2 will be the last pure-combustion M car ever

BMW is all set to unveil the 2023 M2 sometime later this year.

The CEO of BMW's M division, Frank van Meel, has confirmed that the upcoming 2023 BMW M2 will be the last pure-combustion car from the M division.

The 2023 BMW M2 will be a purist offering, featuring a six-cylinder engine with a rear-wheel drive configuration and a manual gearbox, without any scope of electrification. The M2 will even skip the mild-hybrid 48V system, which is becoming increasingly common among other models.

Frank van Meel also confirmed that going forward, the entire BMW M model line-up will be electrified, with either plug-in hybrids or pure-electric options. BMW is currently working on a number of electrified M-badged models to add to its line-up. This includes offerings such as the XM and the next-gen M5 plug-in hybrid, while an all-electric M3 could also be in the works.

BMW is all set to unveil the 2023 M2 sometime later this year. The performance sedan has already been teased multiple times ahead of its arrival in the market.
