The Facelifted BMW M2 Has Been Leaked Early
It’s facelift time for the M2, and thanks to images appearing before they were supposed to on BMW Belgium’s website, we’re getting an early look. The pictures of the updated car were picked up by Bimmer Today before they were taken down, and as you can see, it’s a typical BMW facelift. By that, we mean you’ll be rather hard pressed to tell the difference.
As with the recent M3 ‘facelift’, the changes are limited to the internals of the front and rear light clusters. Handily, the leaked images seem to be retouched versions of existing M2 press shots, making for a nice, clear comparison (above).
Bimmer Today also grabbed some screen shots of the spec list, showing that the M2’s performance stats remain unchanged. That means 362bhp from the car’s 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six, allowing a 0-62mph time of 4.3 seconds (or 4.5 for the manual).
Of more interest on the performance front is the much anticipated M2 CS, which is expected to come with a tweaked chassis and the ‘S55’ twin-turbo straight-six from the M3/M4.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Even the license plates are barely different.

i dont see any
Headlights are different, kidney grill has been slightly tweaked. Can’t spot any other difference
I think we can all agree
What if BMW wants to think that this is the REAL facelift?
Smart BMW.
The only difference I see is the license plate
Gonna say this before anybody else:
“But does it have indicators?”
.
Of course it does.
Just nobody will use them.
The facelifted number on the licence plate transforms the whole look of the car.
MATT! Your Car got a facelift! Party time! Downvote my comment
Aprils Fools? It’s May :D
