About the BMW M2 F87
The F87 M2 was introduced as the spiritual successor to the 1 Series M Coupe, utilizing a widened chassis from the 2 Series and suspension components from the M3/M4. It features the N55 single-turbo straight-six engine, which provides a linear power delivery and a distinctive exhaust note. Collectors value the original M2 for its compact dimensions and playful handling characteristics compared to its larger stablemates. It is widely considered one of the best-handling BMWs of the 21st century, offering a balanced rear-wheel-drive experience.
