The differences between BMW M2 and M2 Competition are as follows: 1. The BMW M2 is equipped with an N55 turbocharged engine, while the M2 Competition comes with an S55 twin-turbocharged engine. 2. The BMW M2 Competition has better cooling than the M2, with the M2's intake temperature at 80 and the M2 Competition's at 50. Below is additional information about the BMW M2 Competition: 1. The BMW M2 Competition meets the China National V emission standards, with body dimensions of 4476mm in length, 1854mm in width, and 1423mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2693mm. 2. The BMW M2 Competition is powered by an S55 3.0T six-cylinder engine, delivering a maximum power of 410 horsepower and a maximum torque of 550 N·m, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 4.1 seconds.
As a loyal BMW fan, I've driven the M2 and M2C several times, and the impressions run deep. The M2's power comes from the N55 engine with 365 horsepower, delivering plenty of fun for daily driving—smooth acceleration and good noise control, making it ideal for city commutes. However, the M2C uses the S55 engine with 405 horsepower and a twin-turbo design, and its explosive launch power simply outshines the M2, offering a wilder driving experience. In terms of suspension, the M2 is softer and more comfortable, while the M2C is tuned to be stiff, providing rock-solid cornering stability—though it can be harsh over speed bumps. The interiors differ significantly: the M2C features a thicker steering wheel and more bolstered seats, making you feel like you're being hugged by a race car. Fuel economy? The M2 is more efficient, while the M2C drinks about 20% more. Maintenance costs are higher for the M2C due to pricier parts, but reliability is solid. Overall, the M2 is a great entry-level fun car, but the M2C is the true M experience—packed with passion and worth the price difference.
