We said it yesterday and we\u2019re saying it again.\u00a0Now if you\u2019re interested in finding out why, then the video below might give you some insights. We went to Salzburgring to review the 2023 BMW M2 in a prototype form.\u00a0There were two cars available to sample: a six-speed manual and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The horsepower of the 2023 BMW M2 is rated at around 450 hp and it\u2019s only available in a rear-wheel drive configuration.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-photos-00.jpg\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-428180\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-photos-00-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2023 bmw m2 prototype photos 00 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-photos-00-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-photos-00-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-photos-00-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-photos-00-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-photos-00.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2023 bmw m2 prototype photos 00 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-428180\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-photos-00-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2023 bmw m2 prototype photos 00 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-photos-00-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-photos-00-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-photos-00-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-photos-00-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-photos-00.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2023 bmw m2 prototype photos 00 830x553\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 2023 BMW M2 comes with a shorter wheelbase than the M4 (4.3 inches \/ 110 mm), but it has the same track width in the front and in the rear. But much bigger than the normal 2 Series \u2013 around 2.2 inches wider (54 mm). BMW used the same tires and wheels from the M4 \u2013 19 inches in the front with 275 \/ 35 mm tires, and 20 inches in the back with 285 mm \/ 30 rubber.\u00a0The braking system is also inherited from the M3\/M4, but BMW M has no plans to offer a carbon ceramic option at market launch. Carbon fiber roof is also an option for the G87 M2, along with M Performance Parts.<\/p>\n<p>The M Adaptive suspension is standard in the new 2023 BMW M2, just like they were on the F87 M2 CS. The cooling system, not surpassingly, comes from the M3\/M4 as well.\u00a0So this new Baby-M is more of a mini-M4, weighing less, and likely with a great power-to-weight ratio.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-review-112.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-428165\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-review-112-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2023 bmw m2 prototype review 112 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-review-112-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-review-112-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-review-112-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-review-112-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-review-112.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2023 bmw m2 prototype review 112 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-428165\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-review-112-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2023 bmw m2 prototype review 112 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-review-112-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-review-112-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-review-112-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-review-112-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2023-bmw-m2-prototype-review-112.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2023 bmw m2 prototype review 112 830x553\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Inside, the G87 BMW M2 looks like a combination of an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/06\/08\/2023-bmw-m240i-rwd-55-kg-lighter-than-xdrive\/\">M240i<\/a>\u00a0and an M4 because that\u2019s sorta what it is. So the dashboard, center console, and door panels are all standard 2 Series stuff. However, the carbon fiber-shelled seats are from the M3 and M4 and the iDrive 8 is from the facelifted versions of those cars.
