BMW is reportedly planning to build low three-digits numbers of the new M2 Turbo Design Edition, making it one of the rarest modern M cars in recent memory. That figure would place it just above the E92 M3 Lime Rock Park Edition<\/a>, which was limited to 200 examples, but still far from mass production territory. In other words, this isn\u2019t the kind of car you\u2019ll see sitting on dealership lots for long.<\/p>\n

A Retro-Inspired U.S. Exclusive<\/h3>\n

The M2 Turbo Design Edition is BMW\u2019s latest nostalgia project, following the 325iS<\/a> and 333i Homage Editions<\/a> unveiled for South Africa. This one\u2019s for the U.S. market, and it pays tribute to one of BMW\u2019s most legendary small performance cars\u2014the 1973 BMW 2002 turbo<\/a>, the company\u2019s first turbocharged production model.<\/p>\n

BMW sticks with a single color choice\u2014Alpine White\u2014and gives the coupe hand-painted M stripes that stretch across the hood, sides, and trunk lid. The black hood bulge carries a reversed \u201cturbo\u201d script in a nod to the original\u2019s mirror lettering, while a turbo badge sits proudly beneath the M2 emblem at the rear. The carbon fiber roof, also finished with M tricolor accents, ties the retro look into modern M car design language.<\/p>\n

Inside, subtle touches continue: a \u201cturbo\u201d plaque on the center console lid, unique door sills, and M-colored highlights throughout.<\/p>\n

Purely Analog<\/h3>\n

BMW is offering the M2 Turbo Edition exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission, just like the 2002 turbo that inspired it. Power comes from the familiar S58<\/a> 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six with 473 horsepower, the same output as the regular M2. It\u2019s not chasing numbers\u2014this one\u2019s about connection and character. It also marks one of the few remaining manual-only M cars left in BMW\u2019s lineup, reinforcing its appeal to enthusiasts before the inevitable shift toward electrification.<\/p>\n

Standard and Optional Equipment<\/h3>\n

Every M2 Turbo Design Edition gets a carbon roof, M Performance rear spoiler, adaptive full-LED headlights, Shadowline lighting, carbon interior trim, and a heated Alcantara M steering wheel. Inside, there\u2019s wireless charging, Live Cockpit Professional with head-up display, and M Sport seats trimmed in black Vernasca leather with M-color highlights. Buyers can add M Carbon bucket seats ($4,500), the M Driver\u2019s Package ($2,500), and Matte Gold Bronze wheels ($6,266).<\/p>\n

Pricing starts at $84,075 including destination, and can climb to around $97,000 when fully loaded\u2014uncomfortably close to the M2 CS\u2019s $99,775 sticker.<\/p>\n

Production and Availability<\/h3>\n

Production begins in early 2026, with deliveries expected to start later that spring. If the 300-unit rumor holds true, availability will be extremely limited. Some dealers may only receive one or two allocations, if any at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
