BMW’s Making a Manual-Only M2 with 2002 Turbo Tribute Livery

If you’re into manual transmissions and BMW heritage, this next one’s for you. BMW is cooking up a limited-run M2 Coupe just for the US — and it’s strictly manual only. No automatic option.P90621363_highRes.webp

 

They call it the Turbo Design Edition, and it’s got serious throwback vibes. The body’s in Alpine White, with hand-painted BMW M stripes on the hood and trunk. The roof gets stripes too, and the power dome (that bulge on the hood) gets a black treatment with the reversed “Turbo” script — just like the original 2002 Turbo.

Under the hood, nothing changes from the regular M2. It still runs BMW’s 3.0-litre straight six — 467 bhp and 406 lb-ft — and delivers 0 to 60 in about 4.1 seconds. Top speed is 155 mph unless you add the M Driver’s Pack, which nudges it to 177 mph.

The inside gets touches that match the exterior flair: carbon trim, “Turbo” badging, bucket seats, and a heads-up display. Of course, it’s still got the six-speed manual. No paddle shifters here.

Price starts at USD 82,900, plus roughly USD 1,175 for delivery. As with most special editions, BMW isn’t saying exactly how many they’ll build.

This is going to be a collector’s toy for the driving purists — a full-on homage to BMW’s past, but with modern muscle.
