The new BMW M2 2023 is finally here! But ahead of the launch, we traveled to Munich to film the G87 M2 behind closed doors. We were joined by Sebastian Maier, Product Manager BMW M2, who shared with us all the details on the car.
Maier goes over the design, the technical specs, dimensions, interior space and much more. At the end of the video, we also sit down with Maier to do a Q&A session on the BMW M2 2023. The questions were gathered from our readers and from BMW customers.
So if you'd like to find out all the fine details of the new 2023 BMW M2, stay tuned till the end of the video!

US conversion on fuel economy for the 2023 m2 is 13.7 gallon tank capacity and 24.2 mpg per gallon = range 328.8 miles. very impressive for the power you get at 460 hr 0-60 4.1 sec on auto trans option and 4.3 for manuel

Before anything, great review!! The overall of this new M2 is very good, but from a huge BMW fan (meaning this is just my opinion) what is disapointing is that the dual light headlights should have been kept, they were a distinguish mark of BMW; only the cheap versions had single headlights. I am curious to see how the market is going to react to that. Again, great review!!!

Lights need to be lower down. Square intakes need an actual shape and cohesion.. not just a square. Middle intake needs a body coloured lower part..it just looks like a weird gap. And the grille...as always with BMW but this time..its not the stupid length. Its the horizontal lines with no grille border which looks like...somebody forgot to add one. It just looks like a product design prototype. This could have been a beautiful car with some adjustments. Oh and rear lights need to be a tad bit adjusted too and longer. The lights alone ruin the whole car. Car is muscular and masculine and angular and strong. Lights look curvey, a tad bit feminine for some. Either have the car angular and muscular. Or curvey and elegant. Don't mix the 2. Top half of front is curvey. Bottom half is blocky.

Just some feedback regarding the audio mix. You mix your videos with a very heavy stereo mix and it is so unnatural, the left and right channels also do not always match up with the position of the speaker. It actually gave me a headache trying to watch this video as one side was silent and the other side was full blast when a person was speaking. A more balanced mix or just pure mono would be better going forwards.

How did you figure out were marketing questions? Because the reality is different. Every SINGLE one of these questions came from readers, forums and actual customers. And if you'd know how this job works, then you'd know BMW never comments on future products. So kinda silly to ask something they will not answer. As far as xDrive, that leaked document is not an indication of the xDrive. Simply a document that was misinterpreted. Is BMW thinking about an xDrive? Yes. Has the car been approved? No.

Sorry, but I cannot take new BMW M cars seriously, because their rev-counter is much inferior to old analog ones. Let me explain: I enjoy rev-matching with manual transmission cars because it is so rewarding to precisely predict where the revs will land on downshifts. It is a large part of the joy of driving for me. However, with the new digital rev-counter in BMWs it is much harder to read the revs, because it shows them only in 1000rpm increments on a small, hard-to-read scale (the old display showed in 500rpm increments, and Porsche Cayman does it in 200rpm increments). This shows that BMW stopped caring about manual transmission drivers. Please bring back the old superior rev-counter in digital form! It was perfect already, so no change will be required.

He refuses to answer any question in a straightforward way if the answer could be perceived as being even the least bit negative about the new car. It's quite defensive. For example, he knows the exact amount of rear legroom increase to the mm but doesn't even know the headroom? A total lie, he knows it's reduced from F87 but won't say it. Same on the floating rear caliper. It's at the very least uglier and cheaper looking.
