Sao Paulo Yellow is surprisingly attractive on the smaller M2 and <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is also<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> a zero-cost option. Portimao Blue, Skyscraper Grey, and Vegas Red <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">are also added<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to the stable <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">at a cost of<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> $650. The Frozen colors \u2013 Portimao II and Pure Grey \u2013 return, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Much more exciting are the $3,000 paint color options. Grigio Telesto Metallic, Twilight Purple Pearl Metallic, Java Green Metallic, and Voodoo Blue join the roster. But there\u2019s a caveat there. These <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2024\/06\/10\/2025-bmw-m2-four-individual-colors-revealed\/\">Individual color 2025 M2<\/a> models require a Carbon Roof, which replaces the standard moonroof. Somehow, I doubt most enthusiasts will see a <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">huge<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> problem with that. BMW also notes the usual delays may accompany special paint orders.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_481576\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-481576\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-481576\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/voodoo-blue.jpg\" alt=\"Voodoo Blue 2025 BMW M2\" width=\"830\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/voodoo-blue.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/voodoo-blue-768x358.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-481576\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20387%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/voodoo-blue.jpg\" alt=\"Voodoo Blue 2025 BMW M2\" width=\"830\" height=\"387\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/voodoo-blue.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/voodoo-blue-768x358.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-481576\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy of BMW USA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One final change to note: silver wheels are now available, thankfully. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You\u2019re still limited to just the 930M style<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.

An Alcantara steering wheel is $500. Shadowline lights are a standalone option (and cost $50 less than last year), but they still require adding a $650 Lighting Package. You\u2019ll still find options like carbon bucket seats. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The great thing about the 2025 M2 is that it continues to be a lot of car for the money. Going light on options allows you to easily stay under the $70K mark or even lower. After all, with sports cars like the M2, usually less is more.
