Every M model within the BMW lineup deserve a convertible version and the real proof stands the BMW M4, this one coming with a soft-top roof version as well, and I have to admit that it looks fantastic.

Rumos with the upcoming of an M2 Convertible have been circulating on the web for some time now, and recently, a batch of images with the so called future model have been released online via Autoblog.

Of course that these are not real images, and were generated via a special computer program, but they are somehow connected to what an insider has claimed that the model would look like this.

This might come as a surprise to you, but allegedly, the aforementioned images are also the very foundation of what internationals within the group have talked and discussed.

With all that, representatives from BMW claim that there is no possibility of a future BMW M2 Convertible, at least not for now. This was declared back in February, with Frank Isenberg, BMW executive, denying the existence of an M2 Convertible. The reason is revealed from his own words below.

“There will not be an M2 Convertible. We need to keep it as purist as we did with the 1 Series M Coupe. We’ve got such a nice M235i Convertible. And convertibles are not for racetracks, they’re for cruising. You can take that car on a racetrack as well, but you wouldn’t choose it for a track day. That’s the reason why we said no [to an M2 Convertible].”

If, and only if, this were to happen, the BMW M2 Convertible would come without the standard roof and B-pillar, modified rear end to sustain the rood folding and some other slight body styling modifications.

Do you really think that BMW will eventually roll-out an M2 Convertible? From what I can recall, the M4 Convertible was also a secret plan, kept almost until its final release.

The 2016 BMW M2 Coupe was recently unveiled and the model has already been previewed in the first renderings, signed by the famous artist Theophilus Chin.

The renderings are showcasing the M2 wearing a convertible body and are based on the latest rumors according to which the German manufacturer would release such a model somewhere in 2017. We might be also dealing here with a less powerful version.

We have learnt from other BMW convertible models that they come with less power, due to the additional reinforcements added to the chassis. The same would also happen to the upcoming BMW M2 Convertible, as we might expect a 0.3 seconds between the two of them. In terms of prices, the convertible would be also more expensive than the M2 coupe.

The recently unveiled 2016 BMW M2 Coupe is powered by the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder wngine, with impressive 370 horsepower and 465 Nm of torque.

The engine uses a standard six-speed manual, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds. The optional seven-speed M Double Clutch transmission with Drivelogic helps the M2 reach 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds. The topping also stands at 250 km.
