About the BMW M2 Competition F87
The F87 M2 Competition replaced the standard M2 in 2018, introducing the S55 engine derived from the M3 and M4. This change addressed cooling issues and provided a significant power bump, making it a favorite among enthusiasts for its balanced chassis and short wheelbase. It is widely considered one of the best-handling modern BMWs, offering a raw and engaging driving experience that harkens back to the E46 M3. The car features upgraded brakes and a revised suspension setup compared to the original M2.
