All-new 2023 BMW M2 leaked in full

The new 2023 BMW M2 Coupe has been leaked in full online ahead of the junior M car’s official world debut next month (reportedly October 11).

The images show almost all angles of the new BMW M2, which will sit above the M240i xDrive in the new BMW 2 Series Coupe range, revealing how designers have played it safe and resisted employing the huge double kidney grille that adorns the front-end of both the M3 sedan and M4 coupe.

Instead, there's a pair of wider, squared-off kidney grilles that sit above a large air-dam flanked by a pair of additional square intakes.

Other revelations include wider front and rear quarter guards that hint at a significant increase in wheel tracks at both ends, chunky side sill extensions and a new dog bone-shaped rear bumper that incorporates vertical reflector and quad exhaust outlets within a prominent diffuser.

A subtle boot lip spoiler and a carbon-fibre roof can both also be seen in the images of this particular M2, which wears the M Zandvoort Blue paint colour that will be a hero hue for the new model.

It’s not been confirmed but it’s thought that BMW M’s smallest coupe rides on 19-inch wheels up front and larger 20-inch alloys at the rear.

Within the cabin it’s just possible to make out the new BMW M2’s optional M Carbon sport seats borrowed from the M4.

We already know that under the bonnet the next BMW M2 will bag BMW M's S58 twin-turbo 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine, in this case pumping out 338kW of power – 7kW more than the outgoing track-bred 331kW M2 CS.

Buyers will have the choice of either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic.
