The 2027 BMW M2 has xDrive all-wheel drive for the first time.

The M2 xDrive is 0.3 seconds quicker to 62 miles per hour than the rear-wheel-drive variant.

The car will go on sale this summer with a starting price of $74,950, including the $1,350 destination charge.

For the last decade, the BMW M2 has been a rear-wheel-drive coupe. That changes in 2027 with the launch of the M2 xDrive, which gives the model all-wheel drive for the first time... plus a bit more.

The car goes on sale this summer, packing BMW’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, which produces 473 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. The M2 xDrive is only available with the eight-speed automatic M Steptronic transmission, while the manual is still available on the rear-wheel-drive version.
