The days of manual BMW M cars might be numbered, but there’s hope we’ll see at least one model that will make enthusiasts smile.
A recent Road and Track report suggests the upcoming BMW M2 will be powered by a turbocharged inline-six engine rated at 370 horsepower, which will be hooked up to a six-speed manual transmission by default.
The report also suggests a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission will be optional, as well as the usual BMW luxury bits – a Harman/Kardon sound system, adaptive LED headlights, a backup camera and a handful of infotainment bits.
We’ll bring you the full scoop when the M2 debuts, likely around the Frankfurt Motor Show this September.
