The BMW M2 will be imported as a completely built unit (CBU).

BMW has launched the latest M2 in India. The 2-door coupe is priced at Rs 98 lakh (ex-showroom).

The 2nd-gen BMW M2 made its global debut in October last year. The sports car features a redesigned exterior with a reprofiled kidney grille and single-pod headlamps up front, new tail lamp clusters and quad exhausts at the back. The massive wheel arches house 19-inch and 20-inch wheels at the front and rear, respectively.

Inside, the new M2 come with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment screen in the centre. The car is equipped with electrically adjustable M Sport seats, M seat belts, a head-up display and BMW's iDrive OS8.

Powering the M2 is a 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline 6-cylinder engine that powers the M3 and M4. However, it has been slightly de-tuned to 453 BHP and 550 Nm. The engine is mated to either an 8-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual. BMW claims a 0-100 km/h time of 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h, which can be raised to 285 km/h by opting for the M Driver's Package.

The M2 also gets Adaptive M-specific suspension, an M Sport differential, M high-performance compound brakes and several engine and chassis modes.
