Does the BMW M2C come with a manual transmission model?
2 Answers
The BMW M2C does have a manual transmission model, but manual transmission models are particularly rare in the domestic market. Here is the relevant information: 1. The BMW M2C is actually the BMW M2 Competition Edition. The BMW M2C has a wheelbase of 2693 mm, with length, width, and height measuring 4476 mm, 1854 mm, and 1423 mm respectively. The BMW M2C is a two-door, four-seater sports car. 2. The BMW M2C is equipped with a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine across all models, with the engine code being S55B30. This engine delivers 410 horsepower and a maximum torque of 550 Nm, with the maximum power output achieved at 5230 to 7000 rpm and the maximum torque available from 2350 to 5230 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 3. The BMW M2C uses a double-joint independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. Many of BMW's sports cars use the double-joint suspension, which is essentially an improved version of the MacPherson strut. The double-joint suspension replaces the L-shaped control arm of the MacPherson strut with two separate links, resulting in two connection points between the suspension and the steering knuckle.
I remember the BMW M2 Competition did indeed offer a manual transmission option, mainly available during its production cycle, such as in models from 2018 to 2020. As an enthusiast who loves driving, I've always considered the manual transmission a highlight on the M2C because it came with a 6-speed manual gearbox paired with the powerful S55 engine, delivering direct mechanical feedback and driving pleasure. Although the automatic transmission (dual-clutch) is faster and more convenient, the manual version immerses you more, especially on mountain roads or racetracks, where the rhythmic shifting is exhilarating. New manual models may have been discontinued by now, so it’s best to check the used car market or look for specific model-year inventory. In short, if you're after a pure driving experience, the manual M2C is a great choice—it embodies BMW’s commitment to driving pleasure and is definitely worth trying.
