Design and Engineering

The BMW M2 Racing is based on the G87 M2 chassis but modified for track performance.

  • Weight reduction: Over 500 lbs lighter than the standard M2.
  • Aerodynamics: Optional rear wing and front splitter for downforce.
  • Suspension: Fixed KW shocks derived from GT3 models.
  • Brakes: High-performance pads and upgraded calipers.
  • Interior: Racing seat, roll cage, optional passenger seat.

Performance and Maintenance

The switch to the B48 four-cylinder engine reduces both complexity and running costs. While the standard M2 uses a six-cylinder, this track version prioritizes lower maintenance and better fuel efficiency without compromising racing performance.

Factory drivers, including Jens Klingmann, assisted in testing to fine-tune chassis balance, traction, and cornering precision. Weight savings and improved aerodynamics help boost agility and lap consistency.

Racing Series Compatibility

The BMW M2 Racing qualifies for a wide range of racing formats:

  • ADAC 24h Nürburgring
  • Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS)
  • TC America
  • TC France
  • 24H Series
  • Belcar
  • Dutch Supercar Challenge
  • BMW Race Series South Africa
  • BMW & Mini Racing (Japan)

This makes it ideal for both sprint and endurance racing disciplines worldwide.

Optional Track Equipment

  • Rear wing: Adds rear downforce for high-speed cornering.
  • Air jack system: Enables fast pit stops in endurance races.
  • Lighting package: Adds headlights for night events.
  • MoTec C125 data logger: Includes GPS antenna for telemetry tracking.
  • Adjustable exhaust flap: Controls sound levels at regulated tracks.
