More power! Manual 'box! 2025 BMW M2 review | Autocar

The BMW M2 has been given a 20bhp power increase plus a bunch of other updates for the 2025 model year.

Torque stays around for longer, the interior has had work, it's more nicely balanced, and praise be, at a cost (!) you can still have a manual gearbox.
