BMW introduced the M2 Turbo Design Edition as a modern salute to the 2002 Turbo of the mid-1970s—the first to wear the brand’s signature tricolor stripes. Painted in Alpine White and detailed with hand-applied BMW Motorsport graphics, it captures the fearless attitude that once redefined BMW’s identity, blending nostalgia and performance into a compact coupe built for purists.
Color and motion work together beautifully as the tricolor pattern flows over the hood and trunk before veering across the carbon fiber roof in an offset streak. A bold black “Turbo” script sits proudly atop the Power Dome, while a modest carbon spoiler shapes the rear profile, merging classic motorsport inspiration with a distinctly modern M Division edge.
Aggressive black M Dual-Spoke wheels come standard, though M Performance options in Matte Gold Bronze introduce a vintage contrast against the crisp white finish. Step inside, and design continuity becomes clear—“M2 turbo” sill plates and a sharply placed “Turbo” badge near the shifter echo the exterior flair while grounding the cabin in a theme of precision and purpose.
Materials feel tactile and refined, anchored by Black Vernasca Leather seats traced with the familiar M tricolor stitching. Those seeking sharper support can choose the optional M Carbon bucket seats, which deliver a lighter, track-focused feel without compromising comfort. Every inch of the cockpit reinforces the connection between driver and machine through craftsmanship and heritage.
Mechanical purity defines this edition, as BMW offers it exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox—an intentional nod to the 2002 Turbo’s analog spirit. Under the hood, a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six produces 473 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, sending the coupe from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds while maintaining the tactile engagement that defines a true driver’s car.
Scarcity only adds to its allure. Priced at $84,075 including destination, the M2 Turbo Design Edition sits roughly $15,000 above the standard 2025 M2. BMW hasn’t revealed exact production figures, only confirming it will remain “extremely limited,” ensuring this special edition stands as both a modern performance icon and a respectful nod to BMW’s turbocharged legacy.
