The question most BMW M2 owners pose themselves is whether to mess around with the car`s body style and performance or leave it the way it went off the factory. The good news is that most of them DO take their rides for some serious modifications at different aftermarket shops.

Given the hundreds and hundreds of modifications carried out on the BMW M2 Coupe, BMW lovers might become worried that such things might spoil the car`s original flare and personality. And at some point they are right – there are tuners that turn it into ugly builds, deteriorating its exquisite looks.

Fortunately for the owner of the below BMW M2 Coupe, things have turned pretty well when deciding to get his ride to an aftermarket shop and transform it into what we see in the media gallery below – it has a fantastic body wrap, new wheels from HRE tuner and a carbon fiber aero kit.

In the engine department, we are dealing with the stock form – 3.0-liter straight-six M TwinPower Turbo engine, developing 370 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. Equipped with a six-speed manual, the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is done in 4.5 seconds, but with the seven-speed M Dual Clutch Transmission, the model runs the same straight line in an impressive 4.3 seconds.

However, the car`s styling is a different kind of story. It now comes with the mind-blowing Black Sapphire Metallic paint which enhances its aggressive look and wears HRE`s newest and most advanced wheels.

Speaking of wheels, we are looking here at the best-selling forged wheels ever, from the Series P1, providing better grip and stability. They measure 19 x 9.5 and 19 x 10.5 front and rear, respectively, and are finished in Satin Black.

As for the car`s looks, the owner chose a carbon fiber aero kit which is a killer in contrast with the new wheels and magnificent Black Sapphire. It involves a new carbon-fiber front-splitter, rear decklid spoiler and rear diffuser, all of them increasing the M2`s airflow and stability.

More details are provided in the media gallery below, enjoy and don’t forget to tell us what you think about the car!

It is not unusual for an aftermarket shop to take its newly customized project out for some testing after the final touches were put on. It is exactly what happened with the below BMW M2 Coupe, after Vorsteiner wrapped it with their special wheels, and then taking it out in the mountains for some rough cornering.

Even if we were used to seeing the aftermarket specialist from Vorsteiner carrying out extensive aero packages on different BMW products, this time their program was limited to just the wrapping of new wheels.

Even so, a new set of aftermarket wheels was everything that the M2 Coupe needed, the car already looking menacing with the stock M Performance Parts. So here we are with the tuner`s special alloy wheels which increase the car`s driving capabilities.

We are dealing here with the tuner`s new V-FF 107 alloy wheels, sized 20 x 9 up front and 20 x 10.5 at the back, and finished in Carbon Graphite, which perfectly complement the car`s Mineral Grey Metallic exterior.

With the new wheels, the BMW M2 Coupe is now ready to tackle the heavy roads it was put to tackle, helped of course by the same stock yet high-performance 3.0-liter straight-six engine with BMW`s TwinPower Turbo technology, which churns out 350 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. This allows an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, when paired to a seven-speed M Dual Clutch Transmission.

Most of the exquisite customizations that are found today in the tuning segment, especially when it comes to fine-tuning BMW products, were developed thanks to models like the M2 Coupe, and that is because its extremely simple yet evolutionary design allows for easy make-overs that would transform them into fine art.

And we have seen hundreds of special projects which involved the baby-M, done and built by famous aftermarket shops, but there are some out there which have made a habit out creating and recreating custom-built programs for this outstanding model.

The latest comes from Vorsteiner, one of the leading companies in the wheel industry, which has dressed up the M2 Coupe seen below in Mineral Gray, with its latest wheels. The result is a more aggressive look and meaner attitude.

The project is not too extravagant or anything, as it enhances its driving capabilities and increases its overall stance. However, the model can also be taken out for a spin in a crowded city or just play with it in a professional photo session.

The car`s main highlight is the Vorsteiner`s special V-FF 103 Flow Forged Wheels, sized 19 x 9 and 19 x 10.5 front and rear, respectively, and finished in Carbon Graphite, which provide the car`s Mineral Gray exterior with a magnificent look.

The car packs an S55 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline straight-six, which is not the same found on the M3/M4, capable of delivering a good 370 horsepower and 465 Nm of torque, capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds when hooked to a DCT, so the figures are almost as much impressive as an M3.

Here is another impressive tuning package added to the same baby-M, which we considered that it is worthy of our attention and appreciation.

We now have the first photos and details with this astonishing BMW M2 Coupe, created by German shop Aulitzky Tuning, the model feeling extremely powerful with the new power kit. It has also received a bunch of new interior tweaks and mechanics.

Except for the few add-ons at the exterior, like new front bumper, carbon fiber rear spoiler lip and the Yido Performance wheels, this baby here is a powerful creation, thanks to the new technical stuff added underneath the hood.

The interior has also received some slight modifications, like Alcantara cover on the steering wheel or the Recaro seats with light-seat covers. Otherwise, this baby-M packs the usual M stuff all around the cabin.

This BMW M2 Coupe comes with the same S55 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine but is now developing impressive performance. That was possible thanks to the new turbochargers, carbon intake and downpipes, along with the Remus exhaust system and water-methanol injection.

Other than that, the technicians from Aulitzky Tuning shop have also installed a high-performance transmission from the M4 GTS and the KW Clubsport gear. The car`s new power is indeed breathtaking – 620 horsepower and whopping 850 horsepower, way too much from the stock 370 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque.

Aulitzky Tuning has also added some nice photos with the latest project carried out on the BMW M2 Coupe! Enjoy and don’t forget to share your opinions with us!

Once you see this newly-modified BMW M2 Coupe you will definitely need to ask around about its exquisite design and how could you add it on your own M2.

The below tuning project belongs to Studie Japan tunign company and is highlighting the gorgeous baby-M wearing this unusual yet appealing exterior wrap.

It involves the fitting of the tiger-stripped wrap with matte black front end, addign as well the BBS` 19-inch alloy wheels.

And since we are dealing with a special project, this particular model was also officially presented at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, which annually hosts one of the most impressive models from the tuning market.

Besides the new body wrap, there weren`t any significant mods carried out at the exterior – except for the massive rear wing which increases its aerodynamics – the BMW M2 Coupe preserving its good looks still wearing the M Performance Parts, which make it quite unique and a real head-turner.

However, the interior did receive some slight mods as well, meaning two Recaro front seats and a roll cage instead of the rear passenger seats.

Since we are dealing here with a full package, the engineers have also installed a power kit under the hood, involving a bespoke intake and an ECU remapping, which raises the car`s power, Unfortunately, there aren`t any official figures released, but we expect at least 50 horsepower and 50 NM of torque over the stock 365 horsepower and 465 Nm of torque. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is also improved, standing as well at less than the stock 4.3 seconds.

Enjoy the impressive video released by Studie Japan tuning company, which is highlighting the M2 Coupe`s exquisite exterior and power!

The baby-M seen below is perhaps the best example of how BMW should have built it the first place; it looks extremely appealing and mind-blowing with the complete M Performance kit.

The standout model was recently displayed at BMW`s special Abu Dhabi dealership, which is the perfect place to make room for the hundreds of custom-built German cars.

As for our M2 Coupe in question, the model can be admired in a splendid media gallery, wearing the gorgeous and hot-looking Alpine White with the M stripes on the kidney grilles, adding as well a full M Performance carbon fiber kit.

The model looks mind-blowing and exceptional sexy with the plethora of new body elements, like carbon fiber mirrors, gloss black side flasher covers, or the carbon fiber rear diffuser. As expected, this particular model has also been fitted with the high-performance Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system which increases the car`s engine soundtrack.

The overall carbon fiber aero kit is complemented as well with the M alloy wheels, which make it even more aggressive and increase its riding stance.

As far as the engine goes, there aren`t any modifications announced, at least not for now, meaning that the BMW M2 Coupe still keeps the stock yet high-performance 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbocharged engine, with 370 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque.

This allows a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a mind-blowing 4.3 seconds, while being fitted with a seven-speed dual-clutch DCT transmission. The top speed is electronically limited at 250 km/h. Enjoy the media gallery with the gorgeous BMW M2 Coupe with full M Performance carbon fiber kit!

Here we are again with another BMW M2 Coupe delivering massive power…you may add! Yes, it is another power upgrade carried out by the German folks from Mcchip-DKR, but we should respect the work that the technicians have put when doing that!

Even if you think that tuning projects become boring at a certain point, they don’t, as each one is unique and shapes out the car`s personality.

The BMW M2 Coupe seen below basically remains stock from a visual standpoint, both at the exterior as well as inside, with a power kit added under the hood.

We are looking here at a power chip that the aftermarket specialists from Mcchip-DKR have installed on the BMW M2 Coupe and which raises is power with around 40 horsepower more.

In the stock form, the 2-Series` top of the line M2 Coupe is packing a 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline flat-six engine, churning out 370 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. This is enough to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds with a DCT and 4.5 seconds with the manual.

However, the tuner`s chip, consisting of an ECU remapping and new turbochargers, raises the car`s power to a total of 441 horsepower and 564 Nm of torque, which is not bad enough. And even if we dont have the official performance figure, we might presume a 100 km/h sprint in less than 4.2 seconds.

The Manhart and the 2016 BMW M2 Coupe duo is back into the spotlights, both names being involved in a new love affair that seems to consolidate their strong relationship.

Don’t worry, it`s not a real romance, it`s just the German tuner`s dedication towards BMW`s most astonishing sports car at the moment – the BMW M2 Coupe – that baby M that brought back the smile on our face.

We are well-familiar with Manhart`s plenty of customizations brought on the gorgeous 2016 BMW M2 Coupe, and each one is as exciting as it can be in its pure form. And the technicians haven’t let us down this time as well, as they managed to create one of the most powerful M2s, so powerful that it now develops more power than a Lamborghini Huracan.

Designed to be extremely aerodynamic and equipped with a powerful engine under the hood, the M2 suddenly becomes that bimmer which is impressively easy to be transformed into something unique. The tuner did that by adding new stuff under the hood.

We are looking here at a specially prepared power kit, which involves the fitting of new intercooler and upgraded turbo, along with bespoke sports exhaust system, KW suspension system, updated brakes and so on.

With the new mechanics, our M2 Coupe is now capable of delivering a mind-blowing 630 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque, all squeezed from the same 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine.

Besides the power kit, Manhart have also added a few styling tweaks at the exterior and inside, including a carbon fiber front splitter, side skirts, hood and rear wing. The overall design is complemented with the 19-inch Manhart Concave One wheels with Michelin Cup 2 tires, measuring 255/35 and 285/30 front and rear. The cabin is also highlighted by Alcantara with gold stitching interior, Recaro seats and so on.

From the start, the model is standing out from the crowd with carbon fiber front lip, gloss black side gills and diffuser, gloss black kidney grille surrounds, carbon fiber rear spoiler as well as the matte black M2 badge.
The overall aero kit is complemented with the BBS wheels, which increase the car`s personality and provide greater stance. The stance is also enhanced by the new mechanics.
