Irresistible dynamics, captivating agility, precise handling: Three features that have characterised M automobiles from the word go. The driving sensation in the BMW M2 Coupé is based on highly developed technology that was tested under the most extreme conditions possible, making the vehicle ready for the perfect sprint at all times and providing it with maximum grip. Important components have been optimised for use under conditions similar to motorsport and have been tested for maximum performance. DSC with M Dynamic Mode, electrical power steering with M specific Servotronic and the lightweight construction for the front and rear axle round off this captivating vehicle concept.

The M double-clutch transmission with Drivelogic is an innovative 7-speed double-clutch transmission specially designed for the BMW M high-rev engine. The system boasts a traction-optimised automatic gear selection, Launch Control, Low Speed Assistance, as well as an Automatic Start/Stop function. It makes it possible to change gears extremely quickly without any loss in power. Two sub-transmissions, each with its own clutch, continuously relay the power of the engine to the rear wheels. The system can be controlled automatically or manually using the gearshift paddles on the steering wheel, or the gear lever. Just as with Launch Control, which allows maximum acceleration from a standing start, an extremely dynamic driving experience is the result: shifting gears at high speed is possible without using the clutch and without any interruption in the power delivery. Regardless of whether the driver selects the automatic ("D") or manual ("S") mode, Drivelogic always offers three shifting options using the Driving Experience Control: extremely sporty, comfortable and efficient.

The Active M Differential variably distributes the drive torque between the two rear wheels to optimise traction and driving stability during dynamic lane changing or accelerating out of curves, when making curves at high speeds or on roads with uneven surfaces, including on snow, gravel and ice. It even provides precise handling during extreme lateral acceleration. The constant, smooth adjustment of the differential lock harmonises the vehicle's driving performance, improving control in extreme driving situations. Traction is optimised with the help of an electronically operated device that reduces the difference in revolution speed between the rear wheels. The system, which was developed for motor sports, is connected to the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) via an electronic control unit. It proactively provides the perfect use of locking action between 0 and 100 percent, neutralising even the finest differences in torque between the rear wheels – without the tendency to understeer. The Active M Differential provides optimal grip as well as great directional stability and perfect handling, and it converts virtually all of the engine's drive power into acceleration.

M compound brakes have benefited from motorsport technology, allowing them to maintain constant effectiveness and brake-fade stabilisation without diminishing the braking performance, even under demanding usage. The use of various highly resilient materials results in excellent thermal stability and long-term durability. Their precise controllability, coupled with their relatively low weight, also have a positive impact on agility, dynamism, acceleration and fuel consumption. The perforated, ventilated brake disc rings (front 380 mm, rear 370 mm) with four-piston fixed callipers at the front and two-piston fixed callipers at the rear ensure optimal responsiveness in wet conditions and improve heat dissipation. The Blue metallic brake callipers with the characteristic M logo strongly emphasise the brake discs' sporty appearance and distinct, authentic M design.
