As with most automotive events that were canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, last year\u2019s tuner-focused SEMA show also didn\u2019t take place. The Specialty Equipment Market Association is eager to return in full force in 2021 and one of the more interesting builds will be this wild BMW M2 Competition. Filippo Speed Shop has done a rather unusual engine swap that we\u2019re pretty sure very few saw coming.<\/p>\n

Gone is the S55<\/a> twin-turbo inline-six engine as instead of a 3.0-liter unit, this 2020 M2 Competition<\/a> is now rocking a massive 6.2-liter HEMI. Yes, it\u2019s the V8 mill powering a series of SRT Hellcat muscle cars sold in the US. Since the engine bay wasn\u2019t originally conceived to accommodate such a massive powertrain, the folks over at Filippo Speed Shop solid mounted the supercharged eight-cylinder powerhouse.<\/p>\n
